53 From Passover to Pentacost the Heaven

From Passover to Pentecost in the heavenly zodiac.

The annual Omer-count between Passover and Pentecost stretches over three months from erev 16 Nissan to erev 6 Sivan with the month of Iyar in between. The month of Nissan corresponds more or less with the sign of Aries the Ram during March 20 to April 19 in the Gregorian calendar and moves on to Iyar which corresponds to Taurus the Bull during April 20 to May 20, then reaches to Gemini the Twins during May 21 to June 20. The gospel foretold in the constellations is in no way connected to the astrological predictions used by pagans for their personal interpretations.

Aries stretches out above the head of Cetus the sea monster. In 31 CE on the 14th of Nissan the Sun was positioned at Aries the day on which Messiah was killed as the Passover Lamb. The fact that He was sacrificed to bring the lost sheep of the house of Israel back to the covenant relationship we made with Elohim together with the house of Judah (as per Matthew 15: 24[1]) and that His death atoned for the house of Judah, but also for the house of Israel, scattered abroad because of idolatry (as per John 11: 49 – 52[2]) is depicted in the position of the Lamb’s (Messiah’s) forelegs across the Ecliptic band, thus uniting the two houses of Israel. Yahshua was slain for the sins of the lost ten tribes who are in a spiritual state of an adulterous woman. YHVH scattered them into the nations of the world after He divorced them (as per Isaiah 50: 1 and Jeremiah 3: 8) and could not restore them to the fellowship of the Covenant without paying the penalty of death. Yahshua paid the punishment of death due to the house of Israel, thus reconciling us to the Father and Brother Judah, as Rav Shaul explained in Ephesians 2: 11 – 18, in this way: ‘Therefore remember, that formerly you, the Gentiles (those of the lost ten tribes who were scattered into the world and came to believe that they are Gentiles) in the flesh, who are called “Un-circumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision (meaning the Jews),” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— (12) remember that you were at that time separate from Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without Elohim in the world. (13) But now in Messiah Yahshua you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah. (14) For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, (15) by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, (16) and might reconcile them both in one body to Elohim through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. (17) AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; (18) for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.’

There is absolutely no suggestion in this particular heavenly sign that the grace of Elohim was moved from the house of Judah to the assembly of Messiah, as Churchianity would like us to believe – this is dispensational theology and has no Scriptural basis at all! In fact it was an invention by the wicked covetous ‘church fathers’ to try and disinherit the house of Judah from the Abrahamic Covenant – the same wickedness committed by Esau. In fact Esau – the Roman Church has taken over control of the house of Israel, since it was started by Simon Magus a number of years after Messiah ascended to heaven. It is clear from the sign of Aries that Yahshua the Lamb is supporting both houses by the position of its two front legs. In fact the sign of Aries is chock-full with hope and strength for us from the lost ten tribes, together with the house of Judah – the people to which the Abrahamic Covenant applies. Whereas the first Passover secured the redemption of the firstborn of Israel from slavery in Egypt, Messiah’s Passover as the sinless Lamb of Elohim, secured the redemption of the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It opened the way for the restoration of the house of Israel to become Zion with the house of Judah as the future bride of Messiah once again.

The heavenly sign of Aries also points towards the complete defeat of Esau through his final manifestation as Babylon the mother of harlots. The redemption of the whole house of Jacob from the grasp of the anti-Messiah to come would also occur at the time of the annual Passover as confirmed in Jeremiah 23: 7 & 8, in this way: “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when they will no longer say, ‘As YHVH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ (8) but, ‘As YHVH lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the counties where I had driven them.” Then they will live on their own soil.” A second more detailed description comes from Isaiah 11: 10 – 11, as follows: ‘Then it will come about in that day that the nations will resort to the root of Jesse (meaning the greater David, Yahshua), who will stand as a signal for the peoples; and His resting place will be glorious. (11) Then it will happen on that day that YHVH will again recover the second time with His hand the remnant of His people, who will remain (alive), from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the islands (coastlands) of the sea.’ The Passover related to the second exodus of all Israel out of the false churches of the world will occur after the destruction of Babylon.

The heavenly sign that follows Aries the Ram is Taurus the Bull. Taurus charges forth with much energy and wrath. Taurus the bull is the risen Messiah, rushing with full authority (or power) to judge, shepherd and govern the restored commonwealth of Israel at His return. Rav Shaul made it clear in Ephesians 2 (quoted earlier) that the two separate houses of Israel were spiritually reconciled through Messiah as one in the commonwealth of Israel, and will be joined together when He returns to rule them from Jerusalem. Those Assemblies of YHVH and Churches of G-d who believe that they and their little group will be the bride of Messiah, without the house of Judah, should start reading the Scriptures with understanding. Yahshua as the foundation stone is coming to judge and govern the earth and He will bring His congregation with Him as we read from Zechariah 9: 10 – 16, in this way: ‘And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the bow of war will be cut off. And He will speak peace to the nations; and His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River (Euphrates) to the ends of the earth. (11) As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit (water is indicative of the Set-apart Spirit, and here YHVH is saying to those who follow Him, that he will set us free from false religions that do not have the Set-apart Spirit). (12) Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; this very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you. (13) For I will bend Judah as My bow, I will fill the bow with Ephraim. And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece (Roman Catholics); and I will make you like a warrior’s sword. (14) Then YHVH will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; and YHVH Elohim will blow the trumpet, and will march in the storm winds of the south. (15) YHVH of hosts will defend them. And they will devour, and trample on the sling stones; and they will drink, and be boisterous as with wine; and they will be filled like a sacrificial basin, drenched like the corners of the altar. (16) And YHVH their Elohim will save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they are as the stones of a crown, sparkling in His hand.’ Pleiades, the cluster of stars in the neck of Taurus stand for Messiah’s congregations which Isaiah prophesied about in Isaiah 4: 1 & 2, saying: ‘For seven woman will take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!” (2) In that day the Branch (Yahshua the Nazarene) of YHVH will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel.” Yahshua confirmed this to Yochanan in Revelation 1: 20, saying: “As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands; the seven stars are the angels of the seven congregations, and the seven lampstands are the seven (Israelite) congregations.”

The sign of Taurus spans the largest period during the counting of the Omer, the fifty days between the Second Day of Unleavened Bread and Shavuot (Pentecost). During this very time in the 15th century BCE, Israel escaped the grasp of Pharaoh into the wilderness on their way to Mount Sanai to receive their constitution as Elohim’s people. But it is also during this time of the year in the future, during the months of April and May that the people chosen by Elohim will enter the wilderness to be tested and purged of any rebels, as witnessed in Ezekiel 20: 33 – 38, in this way: “As I live,” declares YHVH Elohim, “surely with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I shall be king over you. (34) And I shall bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out; (35) and I shall bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I shall enter into judgment with you face to face. (36) As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” declares YHVH Elohim. (37) And I shall make you pass under the rod, and I shall bring you into the bond of the covenant; (38) and I shall purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I shall bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am YHVH.” Taurus provides evidence of Messiah’s functions after His resurrection. He emerges from the grave triumphantly; He has qualified to rescue Judah and protect His two flocks from harm and has the power to imprison His enemies in the Abyss, as He told Yochanan in the last part of Revelation 1: 17 and 18, saying: “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, (18) and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades (the grave).”

Finally during the Omer count, we get to Gemini or the Twins between May 20 and June 20. This constellation sits on the ecliptic band. One of the twin’s caries a bow and arrow in his left hand and a lyre in his right hand, and the other twin holds a palm branch in his hand. The twin with the bow and arrow and lyre in his hands represents Judah, who carries the lyre and bow and arrow as insignias of the house of David. The other twin with the palm branch in his hand is Ephraim bearing a palm branch of praise for Messiah Yahshua, indicative of His welcome into Jerusalem for the Passover when He died as the Lamb of Elohim, as witnessed in John 12: 12 & 13, as follows: ‘On the next day the great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Yahshua was coming to Jerusalem, (13) took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet Him, and began to cry out, “Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF YHVH, even the King of Israel.”’ Even though the twins are still separate and distinctive, they are physically united and close. They have been reconciled with each other but are not yet one nation. They are still under the reign of the ruler of the earth and are awaiting their Messiah, who dwells within them in spirit. This sign reflects the status of Jacob’s household in 2011 CE, but also tells us that the two houses of Israel will definitely be united as one by the time Messiah returns to rule them from Jerusalem. The conditions that kept Ephraim and Judah separate for almost three millennia are busy dissolving. Ephraim is slowly but surely waking up from his time of living like a Gentile and is returning to the Father and His Torah, similar to what the prodigal son did, when he came to himself.

Fact is Judah and the state of Israel in the Middle East can no longer rely on military strength for their safety, but will have to learn to trust in Elohim for their protection, as King David wrote in Psalm 44: 6 & 7, saying: ‘For I will not trust in my bow, nor will my sword save me. (7) But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and Thou hast put to shame those who hate us.’ Continuing in Isaiah 11: 13 – 16 we read Isaiah’s prophesy how YHVH will accomplish this after Messiah started to rule the commonwealth of Israel from Jerusalem, in this way: ‘Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, and those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, and Judah will not harass Ephraim. (14) And they will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east; they will possess Edom and Moab; and the sons of Ammon will be subject to them. (15) And YHVH will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt; and He will wave His hand over the River with His scorching wind; and He will strike in into seven streams, and make men walk over dry-shod. (16) And there will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of His people who will be left, just as there was for Israel in the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.’ There is Scriptural evidence that the days of exile of Judah and Ephraim are over. Ezekiel was given the duration of punishment for each house – failure to repent brought about a seven-fold increase in their punishment, as may be deduced by reading Ezekiel 4: 5 - 9 together with Leviticus 26: 24 - 28. Judah was sentenced to 360 ‘days’ or years times 7 amounts to 2520 years. Their sentence started in 572 BCE and ended 2520 years later in 1948 CE, when the Nation of Israel was born in a day. Ephraim was sentenced to 390 ‘days’ times 7 amounts to 2730 years. Their sentence started in 718 BCE and ended at the end of 2012 CE.

It is very soon now when Ephraim and Judah will no longer be two separate households. When that day comes they will be united as the redeemed nation of Zion. It is time for Judah and Ephraim to recognize each other as brothers who share a common inheritance through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The house of Israel is at this stage at the place where Ezekiel prophesied we will be at in Ezekiel 36, immediately before Messiah comes to rule us in Ezekiel 37. We read accordingly from Ezekiel 36: 17 – 28, where YHVH tells Ezekiel: “Son of man, when the house of Israel was living in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds; their way before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity. (18) Therefore, I poured out My wrath on them for the blood which they had shed on the land, because they had defiled it with their idols. (19) Also I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the lands. According to their ways and their deeds I judged them. (20) When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the people of YHVH; yet they have come out of His land.’ (21) But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went. (22) Therefore, say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says YHVH Elohim, ‘It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went. (23) And I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am YHVH, declares YHVH Elohim, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight. (24) For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land. (25) Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all you filthiness and from all your idols. (26) Moreover, I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (27) And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. (28) And you will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your Elohim.” The gathering of the redeemed will occur during the 50 days of counting the Omer, totally out of sight of the nations.

Without ever setting exact dates, and if Ephraim’s exile truly came to an end in September/October of 2012, the sealing of Jacob could occur 3½ years later, i.e. any time from Shavuot in June 2016, when Elohim instructs the four angels to seal the bond-servants of Elohim on their foreheads, as witnessed in Revelation 7: 3. These bond-servants of Elohim will be protected during the coming great tribulation, whilst some of the great multitude spoken about in Revelation 7: 9 - 14 that comes in because of their proclaiming of the gospel into the world, might have to go through and even be killed during the great tribulation Think carefully about it!

[1] Matthew 15: 24, ‘But He (Yahshua) answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”’

[2] John 11: 49 – 52: ‘But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation (Judah) should not perish.” Now this he did not say on his own initiative; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahshua was going to die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but that He might also gather together into one the children of Elohim who are scattered abroad.’’
