Plan A Plan B: The Bloodline of Redemption A nutshell first
The entire Bible contains the heart and plan of God regarding His relationship with us. Elohim had a beautiful plan, we can call it Plan A, but it failed. Not His fault.man s fault. God set aside (for later!) His beautiful Plan A. Now that sin had been introduced, another plan was needed. Even before creation El Elyon had another plan which He put into effect immediately: PLAN B.
Plan B required working through one group of people to demonstrate God s nature, and invite the entire world to receive His gift that would reunite us back together with Him. He had to call one people who would be the voice of God, revealing Him and His Plan to everyone else. These people would also bring forth the promised Anointed One who would atone for the sins of all mankind. They would become the Bloodline of Redemption.
Sadly, over the years, that bloodline has been maligned and persecuted, and the oracles given her forgotten and seen as ancient and not relevant. Today many focus on the New Covenant rather than understand the Old Covenant. You cannot understand one without the other. PLAN B: THE BLOODLINE OF REDEMPTION will cover the plan of redemption throughout scripture, with focus on the oracles of God given to His chosen people. Elohim calls these people ISRAEL.
The Church today has already become apostate and her people are perishing because of false teachings and an abandonment of truth.
PURPOSE OF THIS CLASS (just some of the goals) 1. Understanding the Redemptive Plan of God, and all that is included in the oracles given Israel (Rom 3:2) 2. Why these things are important today (not just important, but CRITICAL) 3. Blessing Israel.(Abrahamic Covenant still in effect) 4. Understanding WHO Israel is 5. Tying all pieces of scripture together scarlet thread woven throughout, pointing to ONE person through whom those who respond are reunited with the Most High God, Sovereign of the Universe
SOME OF THE MAIN TOPICS (just some!) Genesis, Book of Beginnings The Nature of Elohim Old Testament Survey (overall quick tour) The Covenants The Exodus Event (Deliverance in Type) Torah (The Mosaic Law) The Tabernacle/Temple and the Shekinah Beginning of a Nation, a called out people
The Sacrificial System The Appointed Times (Feasts) of God (God s prophetic calendar, celebrating events before they happen) The History of Israel Then and Now and future Prophecy s Purpose and Track Record Prophecies Still to be Fulfilled Ephraim and Judah: Two Sticks Joined (Ezekiel 37) God s Views and Plans for Israel The Ultimate Sacrifice
One New Man The Lie of Replacement Theology Woman of Revelation 12 and the Harlot of Revelation 17 (corrupt origins of the organized church) The Bride of Messiah (amazing relationship with Hebrew Marriage traditions) The Concepts of Heaven and Hell On the Horizon (Future events) and these are just SOME of what we will cover.
We will be in every book of scripture. All sorts of side trips, special guests, etc. The Bridegroom could easily come before we finish!! However, due to current events and calendar, we are diverting our beginning of this class and leaping forward to cover TWO subjects on this list first, tonight. The Appointed Times, and Revelation chapter 12
CURRENT EVENTS: The Appointed Times Hebrew sacred year began last week, starting with the month of Nisan which contains first 3 feasts of God. Passover, first appointed time, begins at sundown next Monday night, April 10 (Nisan 14). Unleavened Bread begins at sundown the next night, Tuesday, April 11 (Nisan 15) Firstfruits begins the evening before the first day of the week following Passover, which is Sunday, April 16 (begins at sundown Saturday night). This day aligns with the Christian-named Easter (pagan word!).
CURRENT EVENTS: The Appointed Times For this reason, and because of the video (time sensitive information) we will view shortly, we are taking a sneak peak (for many a review!) at the ordained appointed times of God because they are absolutely critical to our understanding of the entire redemptive plan of God. Many speculate these days commanded by God are the key to eschatology. We will cover this material in depth at another time because it is very important. But for now (this will only take a few minutes) it is important to begin here.
CURRENT EVENTS: The Appointed Times It began at the beginning... Then God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; GENESIS 1:14
CURRENT EVENTS: The Appointed Times It is important to see that God put this plan in motion even before He created mankind. The stars were meant to be signals for appointed times from the very beginning of time.
CURRENT EVENTS: The Appointed Times and let them be for signs... Hebrew = 'owth (in the sense of appearing to come); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: mark, miracle, sign, token
CURRENT EVENTS: The Appointed Times for seasons... mo`ed (moadim, plural) an appointment, a fixed time or season. Does NOT mean season or feast as we know it. The word literally means APPOINTED TIME(S). Same word used in Leviticus 23 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of YHWH, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts. [ these are my appointed times ] (times appointed BEFORE time!)

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
Early Foundational Truths in Scripture 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Many interpretations of the identities of these players in John s vision in chapter 12 of Revelation. The Woman The Dragon The Son Some accepted consistency, at the same time, the answers don t help us interpret the entire passage. What about the sign in the stars? What does that really mean? And why does this entire passage seem out of context following chapter 11 and before chapter 13? Maybe this video has some answers
a place prepared by God?

Are we ready? Whatever happens, whenever it happens,... are YOU ready?
Revelation 19 The Bridegroom is coming. Will the Bride be ready? No matter WHEN He comes?
