SABBATH THOUGHTS: FEAST OF WEEKS 2nd SABBATH;
THE END OF THE AGE In OUR TIME?
PARABLE OF THE SOWER: Matt. 13:22:
“Hear ...the parable of the sower...He...that received
seed among the thorns,...hears the word: and the
care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches,
choke the Word and he becomes unfruitful....”
WEEKS OF HARVEST ARE PROPHETIC:
The 49-day Feast of Seven Weeks with its 7 Sabbaths is
the FEAST OF HARVEST (Ex. 23:16; Deut. 16:9,10,16).
“...an Holy Day,...the New Moon, or...the Sabbath Days:..ARE a Shadow of Things to Come;...” (Col. 2:16-17)
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE FEAST OF WEEKS:
“The field is the world...THE HARVEST IS THE END OF
THE WORLD [AGE]...” (Matt. 13:38,40)
SECOND COMING: IN THE FEAST OF WEEKS!
“...One mightier than I comes,...and He will Gather the
Wheat into His Garner...” (Lk. 3:17).
“...observe the Feast of Weeks of the firstfruits of
Wheat Harvest...” (Ex. 34:22).
Note: The 49-day Feast of Weeks is not Pentecost.
END-TIME PROPHECIES:
Mass Starvation by 1975:
A 1967 best-selling book ,“Famine 1975! America’s Decision:
Who Will Survive?”: “Today’s crisis...move[s]...toward catastrophe.”
According to “Our World in Data”, more people died of famine
the decade prior to 1967 than in all 59 years since.
Final Year: 2011, 2017, 2018:
In 2011, Harold Camping: "Holy God will bring judgment day on
May 21, 2011 at 6 p.m. local time: “We are at the threshold of being
destroyed by fire and brimstone." Did not happen. So he revised
the date to October 21, 2011. Did not happen...again.
2017: "Apocalypse NOW: End of the world upon us and 2017 will
be our FINAL YEAR.”, predicted a Christian group.
2018: Christian numerologist David Meade predicted the world
was going to end April 23rd, 2018.
DATING OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY CAN BE KNOWN:
Do these failed predictions show "date-setting" of Biblical
prophecies is futile?
Predicted 31 years before it happened!
In 1886, Dr. Grattan Guinness predicted 1917 was a likely
year of great importance for Jerusalem. And it was!
Historical Records:
Nothing unusual for Jerusalem happened in 1917 until
October 31, when the British Army attacked Beersheba.
Days later Gaza fell, and Jerusalem was freed from Turkish
rule on December 9, 1917!
Two and a half years before it happened: 9-11-2001:
ICY’s Insight magazine predicted March, 1999, based on
Haggai’s prophecy, a “nation-shaking event” was to occur
Friday, Sept. 22, 2000, OR Wednesday, September 12, 2001
[Jerusalem dates].
But for New York city’s longitude, the event was to occur
Tuesday, September 11, 2001, that we now know it as the
infamous “9-11”. Predicted to the month, day, and year.
ONE EXCEPTION: The Day nor the Hour:
Accurate prediction of Biblical prophecies is possible to the year,
month, even the day...with one exception: the Second Coming
of the Messiah. The Day nor the Hour of this epic event cannot be
known....but possibly the Month and Year.
WATCH:
"Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of Man comes." (Matt. 25:13)
