Appointed Times for 2019 (part five) THE DAY of PREPARATION


Introduction 

 Every year I have friends who ask me when Passover is, or when Trumpets is this year. So with that in mind, I will share some of those dates here. 

  I have other friends who wonder "why should we even care when these Feasts are?" 

 There is a level of ignorance in the church.
These Seven Feasts are dress rehearsals for the New Covenant plan of redemption, NOT the Old Covenant. 

THE NEW COVENANT PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE of the Spring Feasts. 

So here is the lineup for the Spring Feasts for 2019 

PART 5 - DAY of PREPARATION - Sundown to Sundown Abib 13-14 
(April 17-18, 2019)  
Preparing the 'Passover Meal' 
This Day of Preparation was for preparing the unleavened bread that would be eaten for the next seven days as well as preparing the lamb, the bitter herbs, and the other elements of the meal. 

 JESUS' DEATH - The 14th day of Abib in 33 A.D. at 3 pm this singular moment in time stands alone as the focal point of all history from the ages past to the ages to come. All the Kingdom of Heaven and all of the human history point to this very moment on this very special day. 

 From the sunset of Abib 13 (the Lord's Passover, the Garden of Gethsemane, the betrayal, the scattering of the disciples, trials through the night, the judgments, the crucifixion) until just before the evening sunset of Abib 14 (when Jesus' body was taken down from the cross and placed in a nearby rock-hewn tomb). This 24-hour period would forever change the scope of the Day of Preparation (of the Lamb.) 


Note: Abib and Nisan are two names for the same month, Abib is Hebrew meaning Spring literally (green) and Nisan is Babylonian. 

 This Day of Preparation stands alone, it is not a part of the previous 13 days of cleansing and it is not a part of the following 7 days of unleavened bread. 

 Jesus stands alone, not only is He the central character of the Bible but He is the bridge between the Old Covenant and New Covenant. Not completely in the old Covenant yet born of a woman, born under the law. 

 He also stood alone while on the earth, He was betrayed by Judas, abandoned by the crowds, abandoned by all of His disciples, even the 12 except John, denied 3 times by Peter. At the very end, "when He who knew no Sin became Sin for us" 

He was forsaken even by His Father. It was on this Day of Preparation that Jesus was betrayed, stood trial, mocked, beaten, scourged, convicted to death, crucified, and buried. And it was at 3 pm, that He laid down his life as the sacrificial Lamb of God (the propitiation for our sins). The Passover Lamb must be killed on the Day of Preparation, "between the evenings". (between 12 pm and 6 pm). The Lamb of God died at the exact moment required by the law 

By the law, all leaven (SIN) was to be removed completely by the 14th of Abib, which meant before Sundown Abib 13. We see three things Jesus did to fulfill this requirement of the law. 

  1. He drove out the money changers from His house. "my house is a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves" (Abib 12)
  2. He dismissed Judas from the house to do what he had to do before sundown (Abib 13). 
  3. He removed the sin of mankind once and for all (on Abib 14) (so that we could become His dwelling place) and He completed it before "between the sundowns"*.
Salvation belongs to our God and to His Christ.   


Remember these biblical feasts always start at sundown on the previous (Roman calendar) day. Genesis documents the day as viewed by God, before sin entered the creation..." the evening and the morning were the first day, and so on through all the days. All the feast days begin and end at sundown (not at midnight). So, when it says Passover is April 19, 2019, what they mean is at sundown on April 18 until sundown on April 19.

  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 ...

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 sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

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 earl...
