“Daddy has to work again.” This was the one-line dagger that my two-year-old daughter stabbed me in the heart with. I had just gone back to work off of bereavement after my dad had passed away, so I was trying to catch up from all the time I had missed—I was putting in longer hours. I was working more than enough for my toddler to notice it, and when she said what she did, it caused me to reflect. Is this what I...

This the village Phoebe and I live in now. We were permitted by the president of the village to minister this Saturday. It was a good turn out for the first time. By the end there were about 40 total with 32 actually participating in the outreach. The ages were from 5 to 13 with equal amount of boys and girls. We had passed out fliers Thursday night and then Friday night passed out a list of the 10 commandments from www.Raycomfort.com. We had a contest at the end to see who knew the commandments best. The best thing that happened is after I preached the commandments and the Gospel of Jesus, all 32 prayed and asked Jesus to forgive them and to make Him Savior. All-in-all it was a good turn out, a good day and good for the Kingdom Phoebe Leading Worship Boys will be boys Check our Youtube Channel on the right of page and watch videos as soon as they are posted of this outreach.

The Chanukiah as a Symbol of Christ's ConceptionA Clue To The Timing Of The Rapture And Second Coming By Helena Lehman of the Pillar of Enoch Ministry http://pillar-of-enoch.com (Scroll Down To See My Fetal Development Chart Below) What I am about to share with everyone is based on the findings of the late Messianic Rabbi Zola Levitt, who noted an amazing connection between human fetal development and the descending order of the Feasts of Israel beginning with Passover. After much study and prayer, our Father God Yahweh showed Zola the connection of conception to the spring Feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread in the spring, and the connection of human birth to the winter celebration of Chanukah. Here is a You Tube video that explores Zola’s findings: Human Gestation and the Feasts of the Lord - Coincidence or Intelligent Design? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGSqS9K_sKY After watching the brief recap of Zola’s amazing discovery on You Tube, go to the Zola Levitt TV Archive to watch Zola himself give this amazing teaching in his own anointed words: Levitt TV: “A Child is Born” (The Feasts and Child Development) http://www.levitt.tv/media/watch/516 Applying this wonderful knowledge to my understanding of the Feasts was interesting and edifying in and of itself. But one day, when I was asked to show how the Jewish Feasts were tied to Yahshua’s Conception and Birth, I made an even more fascinating discovery, which is that Yahshua’s gestational period falls on the Jewish Feasts in REVERSE ORDER, as if every aspect of Yahshua’s sinless life was always meant to reverse and replace the sinfulness of human flesh with the perfect flesh of God Incarnate, the perfect flesh all believers are promised as an inheritance via our Resurrection into the life to come! This ties in perfectly with the idea of the Reversal of History reflected in the nine branches of a Chanukiah Menorah. This is a revelation that God gave to me back in 2007, and which was subsequently added to a later revision of my book “The Language of God in Prophecy.” As shown in the illustration that I made for that book below, the four branches on the right side of the Menorah can depict the initial fall from Grace and steady downward spiral of mankind from Creation to the time of Yahshua, who is signified by the Servant Lamp. Meanwhile, the four branches on the left side of the Chanukiah depict the reversal of sin and moving from imperfection to perfection through Christ. This ascension of believers takes them from Sheol or Hades - where unredeemed sinners go to await judgment - to the Resurrection, then upward and beyond to the New Creation, which will feature our earthly life to come in the New Jerusalem. This city built by Yahweh God for all of His Children will come down out of Heaven to rest forever after upon the New Earth (See Revelation, Chapter 21). Fascinatingly, just as Yahshua’s conception is tied to the Feast of Chanukah or the Festival of Lights, God’s Creation of the New Heaven and New Earth are also tied to it: Click To Enlarge My study of the connection between the Jewish Feast Days, human gestation and Yahshua’s gestation also led me to synchronize the events of Yahshua’s life, which fell on major Jewish Feast Days, with the developmental stages in human gestation. Fascinatingly, through my current review of this study to write this article, I just realized that the nine branches of the Chanukiah can also depict the nine months between human conception and birth! The chart I created below shows the amazing connection between human gestation and the Jewish Feasts, and Yahshua’s gestation and the same Jewish Feasts in reverse order. When this chart is tied to my written research study of the timing of, and Jewish Feasts surrounding Yahshua’s conception and birth, it presents a fascinating picture of how Yahshua’s conception and human birth are spiritually meant to coincide with the Jewish Feast of Chanukah Week, and how Yahshua’s death and resurrection and the timing of human conception are spiritually tied to Passover Week. In addition, according to my fetal chart below, Yahshua would have been born between Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets, and the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur, which is five days before the week-long Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles. Due to Yahshua’s birth near to Sukkot, Messianic scholars like myself have long suspected that Yahshua’s manger may not have been in a barn, but that the manger was actually a Sukkah or booth in the yard of someone’s home in Bethlehem. This connection of Yahshua’s conception, birth, death, and Resurrection to the three week-long Feasts in Judaism suggests that this is what Yahshua meant when He said that no one would know the day or hour of His return. It’s possible that Yahshua will come back to catch away His Bride, the True Church, during one of these week-long Feasts! But the Bible does makes it clear that it’s going to be a surprise to many! Chart Comparing Human Fetal Development With Yahshua’s Gestation Human Fetal Development (Tied to Yahshua’s First Advent) Yahshua’s Fetal Development (Assuming His Birth was in September, 3 BC) Passover - Egg is released - Tied to Yahshua’s crucifixion (The Passover Lamb of God) 1st day of Chanukah, evening, Dec. 14th, 4 BC (Julian date) - Miriam’s egg was likely released on this day Feast of Unleavened Bread, 1 week long - Egg is fertilized - Tied to Yahshua in the grave 3rd - 4th day of Chanukah, - Miriam’s egg was likely fertilized in this time frame (See Chanukiah Image At Top of Article!) Firstfruits - Egg is implanted and human life begins - Tied to Yahshua’s resurrection into everlasting life; 40 days later, 6th week’s end - Yahshua ascended to Heaven Dec. 19th, 4 BC - 5th day of Chanukah - tied to the Servant Lamp on a Chanukiah Menorah. Most likely day of Yahshua’s Conception, when the egg was embedded Pentecost or Shavuot, 8th week - After 50 days (7 weeks), embryo becomes fully recognizable as a human fetus - Tied to the giving of the Law and Yahshua’s Holy Spirit Yahshua’s 8th week of human life - Tu B’Shevat - the 15th of Shevat, the New Year of Trees, falls 50 days from the 1st day of Chanukah 17th week - 1st of Av 18th week - Tisha B’Av, the 9th of Av 19th week - Tu B’Av, the 15th of Av Yahshua’s 12th wk of life - Purim Yahshua’s 16th week - Passover Yahshua’s 21st week - 33rd Omer (Lag B’Omer) Yahshua’s 23rd week - Shavuot Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) - 25th week, Fetus’ hearing is fully developed; 5 days into 25th week - Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), fetus’ blood supply is severed from mother’s; 26th week - Feast of Tabernacles, all of the fetus’ internal organs are fully developed Yahshua’s 30th week of human life - 1st of Av; Yahshua’s 33rd week of human life - Tisha B’Av, the 9th of Av, Jewish Day of Mourning; Yahshua’s 34th week of human life - Tu B’Av, the 15th of Av, Feast of Wood-bearing & beginning of grape harvest Chart Created by Helena Lehman Pillar of Enoch Ministry (POEM) http://pillar-of-enoch.com (Based on a Teaching by Zola Levitt) Yahshua’s 38th week of human life - Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah; fell on September 11th in 3 BC. Yahshua may have been born at this time. NOTE: Rosh Hashanah per God’s Calendar is the 1st day of the 1st month called Nissan, not the 1st day of the 7th month called Tishri. Feast of Chanukah, begins 25th of Kislev - 40th week; optimal time for human birth is from the 38th to 40th week - Yahshua conceived at Chanukah (See Right Side of Chart) Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur, (fell on Julian date of September 21st, 3 BC), 40th week - Yahshua’s approximate time of birth; entrance into human history was from 38th to 40th week. To see the reversal of history along with the reversal in timing between human gestation and Yahshua’s Fetal development, first note Passover Week. Zola wisely tied the conception and implantation of the corrupted flesh of a human fetus to Passover, which saved the Israelites from physical death, though their flesh remained corrupted. But the sinfulness of our flesh was negated by, or healed over by Yahshua’s death and resurrection into everlasting life during Passover Week! At that time, Yahshua was given a perfect body of flesh and spirit that was physically different than the purely spiritual body that He inhabited prior to His birth in Miriam’s womb. This prophetic quality can also be seen by noting that, whereas the week of Chanukah is tied to human birth in a body of corrupted, carnal flesh, this curse is negated by the conception and implantation of Yahshua’s perfect flesh and Spirit in Miriam’s womb during that same Feast! According to what God showed me when I created the Chanukiah illustration for my Language of God Book Series, the spiritual conception of the Bride of Christ at the First Rapture is tied to the day of Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks, which is called Shavuot in Hebrew. Meanwhile, the Bride’s full birth or presentation to God after the Second Rapture at the Wedding of the Lamb in Heaven is tied to Chanukah or the Feast of Dedication. The Feast of Chanukah is also known as the Festival of Lights due to the Miracle of the Menorah, which legend states happened at the time of the Second Temple’s re-dedication to God, shortly after Jerusalem was liberated from foreign occupation. This happened early in the rule of the Maccabean kings over Israel, in the centuries before the birth of Christ. At that time, the olive oil needed for the Temple Menorah had been in short supply. Nonetheless, during the week that it took for the Levite priests to procure more oil, all seven lamps on the solid gold, seven-branched Temple lampstand burned for a full week on only one day’s worth of oil! This supposition casts doubt on the idea that the Rapture of the Bride of Yahshua is tied to the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah. Could it be that the Feast of Trumpets is not meant to be seen as the Wedding Day, but only a warning that the Bridegroom is near? Could the translation or birth of the Bride of Christ at the Wedding of the Lamb be tied to Chanukah - just as human birth is? It is an interesting possibility! Fascinatingly, my research has also shown that there may be Two Rapture Events, with the First Rapture of the Wise Virgins being tied to the beginning of the Great Tribulation, or the middle of the seven year Tribulation period. In the article I linked to about the possibility of two Rapture events, I still think that the First Rapture is tied to the season of Pentecost or Shavuot, which is in the early summer (or technically, the late spring) and had to occur around then, I no longer believe it necessarily has to occur when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Remember that early summer in the Southern Hemisphere is in December, and the First Rapture could actually occur around then - near to the time of Chanukah. There is no doubt that the First Rapture is described in terms of summer, so it most likely will be when it is early to mid summer in at least one half of the world. For more information about the dating of the Tribulation with the Signs in the Heavens and the Jewish Feasts, and a comprehensive study of the unfolding of Bible Prophecy, see my book: “The Language of God in Prophecy,” which is available for purchase at my POEM web site, and at Amazon.com. I pray that you will be deeply blessed by my writings, and will find spiritual value in studying my prophetic findings hidden within the fetal chart that I shared in this article.
