1 Sevening Ourselves to Our Husband Yehovah sightedmoon.co m /seventy-weeks-or-shibiym-shibiym / By Joseph F. Dumond May 18, 2018 News Letter The 2nd Year of the 4th Sabbatical Cycle The 23rd year of the 120th Jubilee Cycle The 3rd day of the 3rd month 5854 years after the creation of Adam The 3rd Month in the Second year of the Fourth Sabbatical Cycle The Sixth Sabbath of Seven Sabbaths The 4th Sabbatical Cycle after the 119th Jubilee Cycle The Sabbatical Cycle of Sword, Famines, and Pestilence May 19, 2018 Shabbat Shalom To the Royal Family, Recently an old friend of mine, Mary Merola Wold, wrote the following. 1/13

2 In Isaiah 40:22, reading it in Hebrew, gives a totally astounding perspective! Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 40:22 It is he that SITS [RETURNS TO MARRY] UPON [TOUCHING] the CIRCLE [SPHERE] of the EARTH [TO BE FIRM] and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a TENT [SUKKAH, TABERNACLE] to DWELL [MARRY] in. This entire verse is about HIS RETURN TO MARRY THE BRIDE, UNDER THE CHUPPAH/SUKKAH! And the BRIDE [EARTH] is PREGNANT [EXPANDED] with souls! The Hebrew word CHUWG (circle or sphere) in Isaiah 40:22 comes from a root word, CHAGAG which means the following: To move in a circle, rotate, to dance, to rejoice, to celebrate, to march in a sacred procession, to observe a festival; to reel to and fro. Chagag is also the root word for Chagga, which means to REVOLVE. This is even further confirmation and shows us that the word for circle used in Isaiah 40:22 represents movement like a spherical earth in rotation. This is totally the opposite from the Flat Earth Cult s interpretation of a fixed, immovable, flat earth. This is evidence that YaHuWaH created the earth to be a prophetic picture of the Bride of Messiah, as she rotates around the bridegroom who is called The Sun of Righteousness! (Malachi 4:2). Each year, the bride rejoices, and dances, as she circles around the Sun of Righteousness (the Messiah) as she makes her way through all SEVEN FEASTS annually, as well as SEVEN MILLENNIA! The seven feasts are meant to bring the bride closer to her wedding day, where she will ultimately be taken into the Marriage Supper of the Lamb on the Feast of Tabernacles! This reminded me of one of my older articles. Seventy Weeks or Shibiym Shibiym Sevening Ourselves to Our Husband Yehovah Each year when we count the Omer we are to also keep in mind where we are in the Jubilee Cycle. On the day that corresponds with the Year in the Jubilee Cycle we make special note of it. This year the 23rd day matched up with this the 23rd year in this 120th Jubilee Cycle. 2/13

3 We are counting 7 Sabbaths since the Wave Sheaf day during the days of Unleavened Bread to the Feast of Shavuot. Why do we do this? Why do we count 7 Sabbaths? Why didn t Yehovah tell us to keep Shavuot on the 5th day of the 3rd month? Why did Joshua have to circle Jericho 7 times? Why didn t he do this for all the cities? I found the following question and answer at Chabad.org Question: What is the reason for the bride walking around the groom seven times under the Chuppah (wedding canopy)? Is it an indication of a husband s power over his wife? Answer: Quite the opposite. The bride, by circling the groom, expresses her awesome power over him. The seven circuits are reminiscent of the biblical story of Joshua leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. They came to Jericho, a city known as the key to the land if they could conquer it, the land would be theirs. But Jericho was protected by a big wall. There seemed to be no way in. God commanded the Israelites to walk around the walls seven times. As soon as they did, a miracle happened the walls came tumbling down and they were able to conquer the city. Similarly, every man has a wall built around his heart. Men are taught to hide their feelings, to create an impression of impenetrability, to make it seem that they have it all figured out. Men create elaborate defenses to hide any sign of weakness or vulnerability, and fiercely guard their deepest secret that inside they are sensitive and meek, simple and soft. But a wise woman can pierce this defensive wall. If she surrounds her husband with the protective aura of her love, if she envelops him with affection, and if she makes him feel that he is the anchor, the center, the focal point of her life, then he can feel safe and comfortable. When that happens, the walls protecting his heart come tumbling down. Then she has conquered him all of him. Once you find a good man, encircle him with your love, and he ll be all yours. Even here they have recorded that the 7 times a woman encircles a man comes from the events of Jericho. Brethren, when you read your bibles take a step back and look at things with bigger eyes. Yehovah had redeemed Israel at Passover and paid for them with the firstborn of Egypt. He then brought them to Mount Sinai and on Shavuot, in 1379 BC Yehovah proposed to Israel. 3/13

4 Exo 19:15 And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day. Do not approach a woman. 16 And it happened on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain. And the voice of the trumpet was exceedingly loud, so that all the people in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God. And they stood at the lower part of the mountain. 18 And Mount Sinai was smoking, all of it, because Jehovah came down upon it in fire. And the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and became very strong, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice. 20 And Jehovah came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. Ex 20:18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw, they trembled, and stood afar off. 19 And they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear. But let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said to the people, Do not fear, for God has come to test you, and so that His fear may be before your faces, so that you may not sin. 21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. 22 And Jehovah said to Moses, So you shall say to the sons of Israel, You have seen that I have talked with you from the heavens. Over two million people heard Yehovah state the 10 Commandments with His own voice. It is always good to go over what Yehovah actually spoke at this time of year. 4/13

5 Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying, Exo 20:2 I am Jehovah your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Exo 20:3 You shall have no other gods before Me. Exo 20:4 You shall not make to yourselves any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I Jehovah your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those that hate me,6 and showing mercy to thousands of those that love Me and keep My commandments. Exo 20:7 You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain. For Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain. Exo 20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work. 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah your God. You shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger within your gates. 11 For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and sanctified it. Exo 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long upon the land which Jehovah your God gives you. Exo 20:13 You shall not kill. Exo 20:14 You shall not commit adultery. Exo 20:15 You shall not steal. Exo 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Exo 20:17 You shall not covet your neighbor s house. You shall not covet your neighbor s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbor s. Two weeks ago we explained how the last 5 commandments are the same as leprosy. Israel agreed to these commandments of Yehovah and said that they would obey. 1st time 5/13

6 Exo 19:5 And now if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above all the nations; for all the earth is Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the sons of Israel. 7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which Jehovah commanded him. 8 And all the people answered together and said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people to Jehovah. 9 And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever. And Moses told the words of the people to Jehovah. 2nd Time Exo 24:1 And He said to Moses, Come up to Jehovah, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. And bow yourselves afar off. 2 And Moses alone shall come near Jehovah, but they shall not come near. Neither shall the people go up with him. 3 And Moses came and told the people all the Words of Jehovah, and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, All the words which Jehovah has said, we will do. 3rd Time Exo 24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the Words of Jehovah, and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, All the words which Jehovah has said, we will do. 4 And Moses wrote all the Words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar below the mountain and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the sons of Israel who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of bulls to Jehovah. 6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, All that Jehovah has said we will do, and be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words. 9 And Moses went up, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. 10 And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as the essence of the heavens for clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the sons of Israel He did not lay his hands. Also they saw God, and ate and drank. 12 And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to Me in the mountain, and be there. And I will give you tablets of stone, and the Law, and commandments which I have written, so that you may teach them. 13 And Moses rose up, and his attendant Joshua. And Moses went up into the mountain of God. 14 And he said to the elders, You stay here for us until we come again to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. If any man has any matters to do, let him come to them. 15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain. 16 And the glory of Jehovah abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 And the sight of the glory of Jehovah was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the sons of Israel. 18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mountain. And Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights. 6/13

7 We gave our word. We made an Oath that we would obey. When we seven ourselves, we are in fact oathing ourselves once again. By counting the 7 Sabbaths of Shavuot we oath ourselves to Yehovah. By counting the 7 days of the week to the Sabbath we again oath ourselves. By counting the 7 years of the Shmitah cycle and also of the Jubilee cycle we again oath ourselves to Yehovah. By counting and keeping the 7 annual Feasts each year we are oathing ourselves to Yehovah each year. Let me interject the prophecy of Daniel 9:24 right here. Seventy Weeks are decreed for you people. Daniel 9:24 Seventy H7657 weeksh7620 This is very interesting two words. In Hebrew, they are the same word repeated but they have different vowel pointing so they are pronounced differently. myubc H7657 myubc shib iym shib-eem Multiple of H7651; seventy: seventy, threescore and ten (+ -teen). H7651 ubc sheba? hubc shib?a?h sheh - bah, shib-aw From H7650; a primitive cardinal number; seven (as the sacred full one); also (adverbially) seven times; by implication a week; by extension an indefinite number: (+ by) seven ([-fold], -s, [teen, -teenth], -th, times). Compare H7658. H7658 hnubc shib?a?na?h shib-aw-naw Prolonged for the masculine of H7651; seven: seven. Take very special note of this next words Shaba to be complete to seven oneself just as we noted above by the woman going around her husband seven times or; the 7th Day Sabbath where the earth rotates 7 times in one week; or the 7 annual Feast in each year. The 7 Days of Unleavened Bread and the 7 Days of Sukkot. The seven years for each Shemitah of the Sabbatical year cycle. The 7 weeks of the Feast of Shavuot and the 7 Sabbatical cycles to make one Jubilee cycle. In total there are 7 events listed Holy Day events here that the woman emulates. The Man completes the woman. Yehovah completes us by us doing these sevening of oaths. 7/13

8 H7650 ubc shaba shaw-bah A primitive root; properly to be complete, but used only as a denominative from H7651; to seven oneself, that is, swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times): adjure, charge (by an oath, with an oath), feed to the full [by mistake for H7646], take an oath, X straitly, (cause to, make to) swear. All of these 7 s to in fact declare that you are making a solemn oath. H7646 ubc s?a?ba? s?a?be?a? saw-bah, saw-bay -ah A primitive root; to sate, that is, fill to satisfaction (literally or figuratively): have enough, fill (full, self, with), be (to the) full (of), have plenty of, be satiate, satisfy (with), suffice, be weary of. H7658 hnubc shib?a?na?h shib-aw-naw Prolonged for the masculine of H7651; seven: seven. H7657 myubc shib???ym shib-eem Multiple of H7651; seventy: seventy, threescore and ten (+ -teen). So the First word is Seventy. The second word is Sha bua. H7620 myubc sha?bu?a? uwbcsha?bu?a? hubc shebu??a?h shaw-boo -ah, shaw-boo -ah, sheb-oo-aw Properly passive participle of H7650 as a denominative of H7651; literally sevened, that is, a week (specifically of years): seven, week. Now notice the word for Shavuot. twuwbc. The word Shavuot is from the word Shavu. The V and the B are interchangeable. It is the same as Aviv and Abib. Shavuot is the plural of Shavu which is the word for week. Again our two words were SeventyH7657 weeksh7620. Our word H7620 is from the word 7650 Shaba. H7650 ubc sha?ba? shaw-bah A primitive root; properly to be complete, but used only as a denominative from H7651; to seven oneself, that is, swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times): adjure, charge (by an oath, with an oath), feed to the full [by mistake for H7646], take an oath, X straitly, (cause to, make to) swear. So these very two words that begin the Prophecy of Daniel are saying Seventy Shavuot are for your people Daniel. 70 Feast of Weeks, 70 Feast of Oaths. 70 Sevening of your people. 70 Jubilee Cycles are given to your people so they can prepare for the wedding. Exodus 34:22 You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, 8/13

9 70 X 49 is 3430 years that are decreed for us to learn how to get it right and then the time runs outs. That is how long the bride of Yehovah has to get herself ready. Yehovah when He swore by His own name in Gen 22:16, the word swore is H7650, Shabah to seven oneself. Yehovah sevened Himself to Abraham. And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven and said, By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And now you should know why Abraham sacrificed seven ewes between him and Pharaoh over the wells. That place today is known as Beer Sheba. Sheba being taken from one of the forms of the word we have quoted above. I am adding this after some of you have already read this. Sorry but it is just so good. Listen to Nehemia talk about the Oath and Shavua and Shavuot. Once a Marriage Ketuvah or contract or covenant is made then the Groom goes away and prepares His house for the bride. Our Groom was and is Yehovah. He had prepared our place and was bringing us to it. A land flowing with Milk and Honey. Eze 20:4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers. 5 And say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I chose Israel, and lifted up My hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt; when I lifted up My hand to them, saying, I am Jehovah your God; 6 in the day that I lifted up My hand to them, to bring them out from the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands; 7 then I said to them, Let each man throw away the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God. 8 But they rebelled against Me and would not listen to Me. They did not each man throw away the abominations of their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. And I said, I will pour out My fury against them to fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 9 But I worked for My name s sake, that it should not be profaned before the nations among whom they were, for I made Myself known to them in their eyes, by bringing them out of the land of Egypt. We read in Numbers when the spies went up to the land two years after they left Egypt and they reported the land was filled with milk and honey. 9/13

10 Num 13:23 And they came to the valley of Eshcol and cut from there a branch with one cluster of grapes. And they carried it between two men upon a staff, and some of the pomegranates and of the figs. 24 The place was called the valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes which the sons of Israel cut down from there. 25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days. 26 And they left and came to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh. And they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey. And this is the fruit of it. Yehovah our Groom had prepared this land for us and it was flowing with milk and honey. But just as we were about to cross that threshold into the Land we rebelled and would not go for fear of the giants. And for that we had to wait another 40 years. Only then did Joshua and the Children of Israel cross the Jordan River, the threshold of the Promised land. They were now in the Beit, the house of Yehovah. It is at this time that we see Israel circle around Jericho 7 times. As already mentioned, this is Israel circling her Groom 7 times in silence. Once they did this then Yehovah gave them the land as was symbolic of the walls of Jericho falling down before them. Yes, we were married to Yehovah. He wanted to give us the world, but we rebelled as you all know. And then Yehovah gave us, the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel a Bill of Divorce. He did not give one to Judah, but He did give one to us. You cannot give a bill of divorce if you re not married. Isa 50:1 So says Jehovah, Where is your mother s bill of divorce, whom I have put away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother is put away for your sins. Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes for which backsliding Israel committed adultery, I sent her away and gave a bill of divorce to her, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she went and whored, she also. We are then sent into captivity and dispersed throughout the world. This is the same story told in the book of Hosea. But Yehovah tells us something in Jeremiah. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, 32 not according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Jehovah; 33 but this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of Israel: After those days, says Jehovah, I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 And they shall no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more. 10/13

11 Yehovah was and is our Husband. There is hope for us after all. Yehovah wants us to come back. This then is shown to us in the book of Acts. The giving of the Holy Spirit also took place on the Feast of Shavuot. Act 2:1 And in the fulfilling of the day of Pentecost, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly a sound came out of the heaven as borne along by the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues as of fire appeared to them, being distributed; and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And dwelling at Jerusalem there were Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven. 6 But this sound occurring, the multitude came together and were confounded, because they each heard them speaking in his own dialect. 7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Behold, are not these who speak all Galileans? 8 And how do we each hear in our own dialect in which we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya around Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking the great things of God in our own languages. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying to one another, What does this mean? The Holy Spirit and the Ten Commandments are the very character of Yehovah. It is who He is. It is who we must become. Joh 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments. The very same Commandments spoken by Yehovah at Mount Sinai. Joh 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him. 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself to us and not to the world? 23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves Me, he will keep My Word. And My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My Words, and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father s who sent Me. 1Jn 2:3 And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, I have known Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked. In these last days, we are now once again seeing the pouring out on all flesh the Holy Spirit. So many have been called in these last ten years, and all of them coming to seek the love of Yehovah as John has stated. We show Yehovah our love by keeping and obeying the commandments of Mount Sinai. Our Ketubah which we must keep if we are going to have any hope of going across that threshold into the land of Milk and Honey. 11/13

12 Joe 2:25 And I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten, the locust larvae, and the stripping locust, and the cutting locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Jehovah your God, who has dealt with you wonderfully; and My people shall never be ashamed. 27 And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and no one else; and My people shall never be ashamed. 28 And it shall be afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions. 29 And also I will pour out My Spirit on the slaves and on the slave women in those days. Each year as we walk once again this path of Righteousness as Psalm 23:3 says, as we keep this Feast of Shavuot at the proper time of our wedding renewal and we once again go over the covenant we agreed to keep, we rewrite it on our hearts, as we want to obey and we strive to do all He has commanded us. Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man. And yet some of you will still object to all of this saying, you do not have to keep the Sabbath or the Holy Days or the Sabbatical years. Yet we are told in Deuteronomy that we must keep these things in the land of our diaspora when it will not be as easy as it would have been had we done in the land of milk and honey. We must keep them where ever we are in order to be brought back now to the land of Milk and Honey. Read it for yourself. Deu 30:1 And it shall be when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and when you shall call them to mind among all the nations where Jehovah your God has driven you, 2 and shall return to Jehovah your God and shall obey His voice according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, with all your heart, and with all your soul, 3 then Jehovah your God will turn your captivity. And He will have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the nations where Jehovah your God has scattered you. 4 If you are driven out into the outermost parts of the heavens, Jehovah your God will gather you from there, and He will bring you from there. 5 And Jehovah your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. And He will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers. 6 And Jehovah your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your seed, to love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live. And still, some will maintain that these laws are just for the Jews. This is completely false. These laws were given to Adam and then to Noah. Noah was righteous and the only way you can be righteous is if you re obeying the commandments. But look at what Isaiah says about the whole earth. Look at what happens to all those on the earth who are not Jews and how they too are being destroyed. Look at the reason they are destroyed. 12/13

13 Isaiah 24:1 Behold, the Lord will empty the earth and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the slave, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor. The earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered; for the Lord has spoken this word. The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and withers; the highest people of the earth languish. The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. Do you want to go to the Land that Yehovah has prepared for you? Then you must obey. Since we have been out of the land it has turned into a desert. But since Judah has gone back it has blossomed into a beautiful land. It will do the same for you once you return, but in order to return you must obey the agreement of the Ketubah or you will not be brought back. Eze 20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who sin against Me. I will bring them out from the land where they reside, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am Jehovah. You are sinning when you do not keep the Seventh Day Saturday Sabbath. You are sinning when you do not keep the Holy Days at the appointed times. You are sinning when you refuse to keep the Sabbatical year. The Jews have changed the Holy Days after 358 C.E. under Hillel and now keep them according to the Hebrew Calendar. They no longer keep the Sabbatical years and the few that do, keep them at the wrong time. This is why 6 Million Jews were slaughtered in WW II. If Yehovah does this to those who think they are obeying Him, what is He going to do to those of you who are not obeying Him at all? Read again Isaiah 24. No matter who you are, Yehovah is going to remove you from your place, no matter where you live. Those who rebel and sin and will not keep the covenant will not come into the land. They will die along the way. This Shavuot review our Ketubah. Begin to practice the laws of the Kingdom you want to be in. And thank Yehovah for not leaving us in our sins and ignorance. Shavuot or Pentecost in 2018 is Sunday May /13
