The Prophetic Calendar
A Key to Understanding the Timing of The Major and Minor Prophets
Before we begin, I would like to bring forth a few tried and true principles of scriptural study.
1 — YoHeWaH speaks in typology. The Enemy speaks in counterfeits.
A typology takes an established principle and builds upon that principle to establish an esoteric (hidden), even higher principle.
A counterfeit hijacks an established principle and creates a false narrative that deceives the people’s understanding.
2 — There is a typology at work concerning a 24-hour day and a 365.25-day year. A day is a type of a year and vice versa. These calendar-based typologies are consistent with a logical Mighty One, the King of true science.
3 — Critical thinking is a lost art, which works to eliminate the deceptions that we were all born into. YoHeWaH’s called-out people, at this end-time, are showing signs of mastering this lost art. Critical thinking is defined as the ability to question everything, even that which is thought to be well-established facts. To think outside the box. YoHeWaH’s Spirit works in this way.
Now, with all that in place, let’s go to scripture.
Exodus 23:16 https://biblehub.com/esv/exodus/23.htm
“You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering (Feast of Tabernacles / Sukkot) at the end of the year, when you gather from the field the fruit of your labor.” Exodus 23:16
Question. What constitutes the end of the year?
The 12/13th month?
The end of the 6th month?
December 31st?
So, let’s address the day for a year in typology. First of all, let’s see a few scriptural examples of this principle.
Numbers 14:34 https://biblehub.com/esv/numbers/14.htm
Ezekiel 4:5–6 https://biblehub.com/esv/ezekiel/4.htm
Daniel 9:24–27 https://biblehub.com/esv/daniel/9.htm
There are many other examples, but three witnesses should suffice.
So again, a day is a type of a year, and a year is a type of a day.
The 24-hour day has the following six markers:
Dawn, Sunrise, Noon, Sunset, Dusk, Midnight.
Fulfilling the typology to a tee, the year has the exact same six markers.
The Dawn of the year is February 22nd
The Sunrise of the year is March 21st
The Noon of the year is June 21st
The Sunset of the year is September 23rd
The Dusk of the year is October 23rd
The Midnight of the year is December 23rd.
Now, Joey, how do you come to this conclusion? Allow a fundamental scripture to establish my conclusion.
Isaiah 33:20 https://biblehub.com/esv/isaiah/33.htm
Since when is Jerusalem an untroubled city? Answer — Never. Nor will it be in the future.
Since when was Jerusalem a tabernacle whose tent stakes (ownership) have never been moved? Answer — Never. Jerusalem has been the most fluid, fought-over territory in the history of mankind.
Since when has Jerusalem’s borders (cords) never broken? Answer — Never. Just look at the city’s borders since 1948. Change after change, after change.
No, I tell you, this passage is not speaking of the borders of the city of Jerusalem, but rather the latitude that runs through Jerusalem… And more specifically, through the actual temple mount of Mount Moriah.
31:34 degrees north latitude
This latitude runs just north of the Florida / Georgia line, through southern Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.
Now, here is where critical thought has to come into play. With the understanding that America is the end-time regathered land of Israel and more specifically, the intended promised land of Deuteronomy chapter 8, with two witnesses to establish this fact in verse 9… What role does this latitude line play, as YoHeWaH chose America to re-establish His true Sabbath and His Feast days within?
YoHeWaH used the Rechabites of Jeremiah 35, who are the North American Indians, to bring His actual Sabbath day to this land. He also chose Herbert W Armstrong to re-establish His Feast Days in this land. He did not do all of this in the Middle East. Why?
Again, I ask, What role does this latitude line play?
If I asked you what dates do equal light and darkness occur?
March 21st and September 23rd?
March 16th and September 28th?
Another question — What constitutes equal light and darkness? Which is the true Equilux? Answer — The period including the twilights in which light and darkness have 12 hours.
Another question — What causes green things to grow? Answer — Light, even light from the twilight periods.
Another question — Scripturally, which category do the twilights fall under, light or darkness? Answer — Light, Day
Genesis 1:5 https://biblehub.com/esv/genesis/1.htm
On the aforementioned latitude, light overcomes darkness by one minute on February 22nd of every single year. This constitutes the Dawn of the year. The breaking of light or Dawn.
The sunrise of the year is when the sun crosses (rises) the equator from the southern hemisplane of the Earth into the northern hemisplane of the Earth. This is what science calls the spring equinox — March 21st.
The Noon of the year is when the sun is at its zenith or highest point to those in the northern hemisplane. Science calls this point the Summer Solstice — June 21st.
The Sunset of the year is when the sun sets below the equator once again, from the north to the south. Science calls this point the Autumnal Equinox — September 23rd.
The Dusk of the year is when darkness overcomes light by one minute. October 23rd
The Midnight of the year is when the sun is at its furthest distance from the northern Hemisplane. Science calls this point the winter solstice — December 23rd.
Now, what I have conveyed to you is not the worship calendar of YoHeWaH. I have attached a very different name to this understanding of recognizing time. It is best defined as the Prophetic Calendar. Allow me to explain quickly.
Throughout the major and minor Prophets of the Bible, these markers are used, not to give times of any given day, but specific times through certain years, showing YoHeWaH’s divine providence in His prophetic word. Here are just a few examples.
Jeremiah 6:4 https://biblehub.com/esv/jeremiah/6.htm
Isaiah 17:14 https://biblehub.com/esv/isaiah/17.htm
Hosea 10:15 https://biblehub.com/esv/hosea/10.htm
This Prophetic Calendar provides a backdrop or window for YoHeWaH’s worship calendar to fit into.
Yeshua said this, recorded by John:
“Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” John 11:9–10
Anciently, the hours of the daylight portion of the day were calculated by 12 divisions of light devoted to a sundial. By our Western understanding of time, these hours could have ranged from 40 minutes to 80 minutes, depending on the time of year when the day in question occurred. However, when you think in terms of a year, the period to which light amounts to more time than darkness is a two-thirds to one-third ratio.
Light prevails — February 22 to October 23 is 8 months of time.
Darkness prevails — October 24 to February 21 is 4 months of time.
This matches the ratio of angels of light on YoHeWaH’s side to the angels of The Enemy on Satan’s side. Satan drew one-third of the angels of light from YoHeWaH. Yet, another typology hidden in plain sight.
One more passage to consider before I return to the original question.
Psalms 113:3 https://biblehub.com/esv/psalms/113.htm
Now consider this text from the LXX. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/apostolic/psalms/113.htm
The Daylight portion of the day/year is set apart. YoHeWaH’s time is from dawn until dusk.
So, question… When Moses records YoHeWaH’s words in The Book of The Covenant that we opened this discussion with, “You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering (Feast of Tabernacles / Sukkot) at the end of the year,”, what constitutes a year?
12 months?
6 months?
8 months?
The year ends on October 23rd, every single year. Thus, YHWH’s word can be understood as follows from Exodus 23:16:
“You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering (Feast of Tabernacles / Sukkot)(in its entirety, all 8 days) before October 23rd.”
So, let’s take a look at this coming year to see when the year begins.
https://www.moonconnection.com/moon_phases_calendar.phtml
The hard and fast rule is this. The New Moon closest to the Vernal (Spring) Equinox is Abib. Abib this year is unequivocally March 11th, not in April, as the Jews teach via their man-made Hillel calendar.
There is a second witness from nature to this fact.
From February 21st until October 23 there are 245 days. The mid-way point within this daylight portion of the year is June 21st, the Summer Solstice… The Noon of the year.
