Back to your equating the keeping of Yehova’s appointed times (which are commanded of all of us) with the denial of scripture by dispensationalists.
So I repeat, which is it?
Keep his commandments, or use a totally mistaken, absolute misunderstanding of a cultural idiom to create a way to disregard his commandments that were specifically given for our time?
The things God wants us to do are simple. They are explained in simple terms. They are not a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
NO MAN KNOWETH, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS
And yet His diciples not knowing, the angels not knowing, and the Son of Man not knowing, and only the Father knowing, doesn't discourage you from thinking you do.
I have never said man should not follow the commandments. What you have chosen to buy into is not what you think it is.
.
Are you being dense, or disingenuous?
No “date” can be provided; it is developed by learning the culture so that the word written in the idioms of that culture can be fully understood, and by studying the prophecies, and the instructions found in Torah, to be able to grasp how the biblical calendar works.
The entire plan is laid out in the word, such that once Yeshua’s sacrifice was completed, all who desire to know can know what is appropriate for the time in which they live.
Genesis 1 describes a six day plus one creation, and a six thousand year plus one thousand year total expanse of time.
We are at the end of the 6000 years. The events that follow that are unfolding before us, including the restoration of the Biblical agricultural calendar.
None of these things are presently hidden, although they were hidden until about 150 years ago. Anyone that has a desire to know can know what they need to know. This has always been true.
Over the next eight years (roughly) all things will become known.
Tishri 1, 6017 will begin the third Jubilee for modern Israel. The first two of those Jubilees resulted in the return of certain land rights to their rightful owners.
That is one of the specific features of a Jubilee year. The third Jubilee will also deliver more land rights to be returned to Israel. It will also involve another feature of a jubilee, the release of men.
Those released will be returned to the land, and justify the regaining of lost lands. As they return, Satan, who will soon be cast out of the presence of Yehova with little time remaining, will begin to “trouble” these descendants of Jacob, thus his “Tribulation” of the saints.
That Tribulation is roughly four and one half years in the future. Exact dates are not possible simply because Yehova’s years are agriculturally defined, and his months depend on the visibility of the new moon at the temple mount.
The year begins with a new moon, when the barley in the Kidron valley is ripe enough to be ground into flour (Aviv) to make bread two weeks later for the loves that are commanded to be made at passover.
This is why we are commanded to “guard the Aviv.”
Those that will not “watch” and demand a date, will see him come “as a thief.” (Rev 3)
You have about a year to learn what is required, and I’m sure you can do it (if you desire).
.
Jesus’ disciples asked Him. Jesus responded by saying nobody knows, not the angels or Myself, only God the Father does.
He didn’t guide them to look at prophecies and religious teachings.
No, I’m not being obtuse. I’m reminding you of truth.
.
No.
Yeshua responded with a colloquialism that had a well known meaning to his audience of ‘Jews.’
The time of which no man knoweth the day nor the hour is well known to the Jewish people to be Yom Teruah.
It is the only one of the appointed times that is not already known before it approaches. Its the only one that requires the people to watch diligently, lest they miss it.
There wasn’t any reason to remind them of anything. It was something that all the members of Yeshua’s assembly (what ‘christians’ mistakenly call the church) for centuries had practiced.
Truth is exactly what you are trying hard to quash.
.
We won’t agree on this so I’m going to bow out.
No man knows, not one
Angels don’t know, not one
Of the Holy Trinity one knows, ONLY ONE
Yet you know.
Nah, not buying it.
Tell me what the date is next year. It will be interesting when that date comes and goes and we’re still here and Jesus hasn’t returned.
.
FAIL again!
I and every other watching member of Yeshua’s assembly will know when the events that we are commanded to watch for arrive.
He has already told us that he doesn’t know those that “will not watch,” and will come to them “as a thief.” (Rev 3:3)
.
Do you expect Christ to come back and set up a kingdom here at that time?
Read your Bible!
He gathers us at the Last Trump to take us to the wedding feast on the “sea of glass mingled with fire,” then ten Earth days later, after the pouring out of the bowl judgements on the Earth, we return with him to defeat his enemies.
After that he sets up his Earthly demonstration of the total depravity of man for 1000 years, in which we will rule with him.
.
Thank you. I’ve read my Bible. That’s your problem.
I appreciate the answer. Didn’t intend to give you a hard time over it.
Later
.
No Problem!
