NEW YEARS DAY IS TODAY - According to Ancient History Expert...

By -
Aviv 1 or Nisan 1 is the first day of the year according to an ancient history expert and Hebrew culturist. who goes by several names,  Jehovah, Yahweh, but most often, referred to as GOD.
Jehovah instructed His people (the Hebrews) to make this month the first month of the year. He instructed them that each month was to begin on the New moon. Days, He said, started at the evening and finished their course the following evening. 
Based on this instruction, we learn that throughout history, the Hebrews spent the first fourteen days of the year in removing leaven from their homes. They would go from room to room and they would search and remove any leaven found in their dwellings. They would remove the drawers and turn them upside down, even wiping out the corners. They wanted to clean house, literally, to invite the presence of God in for the wonder of Passover, celebrating their salvation from slavery. 

  1. John chapter 2. Jesus drove out the money changers (old leaven) over-turning their tables (like drawers)  Saying, "it is written, My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves."
  2. His actions preceded: 
    • His instituting the Lord's Supper.  
    • His death as the Passover Lamb, and 
    • three days in the belly of the earth, when his body would be proven to be free of all sin, Incorruptible!. 
Paul's instruction to examine ourselves (remove the leaven out of our lives) precedes taking the Matzo bread and the wine in remembrance of Jesus' Death and Resurrection.

The seven feasts of God given to Israel actually provide a road map of the redemption plan of God for the human race. they are laid out in a way that reveals the plan over the millennium of man's history and they culminate in the return and coronation of Jesus as King of the whole World. Taking back in full restoration the dominion that God originally gave to the first Adam and his wife, now fulfilled in the second Adam (Jesus) and his wife (the overcomers).
What are you going to do over the next fourteen days? What are you going to do to get ready for His Second coming?

He also instructed them to remove all leaven from their homes and to complete the job before the eve of the 14th of Aviv, or Nisan. this was a Holy day known as Passover. 

We derive our cultural "spring cleaning" idea from this ancient instruction of God, Himself.

It was during these very same fourteen days,  specifically, the last 14 days leading up to Passover in the year 31 A.D. that John records that Jesus made a whip of cords and drove the money changers (old leaven) out of His Father's house. 

In this same way:
The search and removal of leaven from their homes preceded their eating of the Matzo at the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
You may want to think again, about the days we are living in.

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about being given the key of David to open and no m

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible school was

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earlier,
