7th Month, 10th Day: ...THEN in 1994 (20 years ago) ... AND: soon and very soon !!!
Shalom, greetings from germany, friedrich
This
is what I like to share with you – if you have a little time, thank you
so much. I try best to make it short possible and hope you can
understand. I try to put it into 7 parts. Thank you for reading. Shalom
Part 1 – Jerusalem 1967
I
remember vividly the June 5, 1967. I was at school (then age 15) (now
I’m 61 J ) … that day our teacher came into classroom with a big radio
and said: there is war in Israel! He placed the radio on the desk and we
did listen to the breaking news and reports. Well, things went on… time
went on…
Well,
I was deeply moved when I heard in one of the recent Radio Temple Talks
Rabbi Chaim Richman, Jerusalem, mentioning the ‘connection’ of the
“Wednesday-Psalm”-song the Jews did sing when the 2nd Temple was destructed …the recapture of Jerusalem was on a Wednesday: June 7, 1967.
Part 2 – the 1980s – our Bible teacher
I
like to say, I’m Christian and – I remember vividly the monthly bible
hours of our precious late pastor Bro. Schirrmacher – around 1982 to
1986!!! when he preached about the significance of the Red Heifer and
reported about the search for the ashes of the red heifer then in
certain caves in Israel (Vendyl Jones). For me this was exciting!! He
knew Hebrew language. He also preached about the significance of the
temple mount being the’hub of the world’… the rock where Abraham bound
Isaac … and so on… He said that the ‘Dome of the Rock’ is just at that
place! He emphasized that ‘Allah’ never, never, never is the same ‘God’
as the G-d of the Jews or Christians.
Part 3 – The 1335 days of the Book of Daniel
Well,
the teachings of our pastor in those days in mind I liked to learn more
about the History of Jerusalem and the Dome of Rock and Temple Mount
etc. One day suddenly I found an exciting fact and I went to our pastor
and told him, well, he said, boy, this may be right, but stay in peace
and he prayed with me. This is what I then had found: In the Book of
Daniel chapter 12, verse 13 it says: Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Mohammed did die on June 8, 632… Exactly on the very last day of 1335
year time period …on June 7, 1967 …Jerusalem was re-united!
Years later I found another Christian preacher who found the same thing… So this fact surely is really amazing …isn’t.
Part 4 – The Oslo Accord
The
breaking news about the so called ‘Oslo Accord’ were very surprising:
Sept 13, 1993! I have to say that I was always interested in things
happening in Israel and the Jewish world. At the railway station here in
Karlsruhe (where I live here S-W Germany – we have a flower nursery
…and often I had to travel to the Netherlands to buy flowers) – at the
newspaper kiosk once in the week I bought the Jerusalem Post –engl
edition- and the German “Jüdische Allgemeine Wochenzeitung” (the general
weekly Jewish magazine). Well, one day Sept/Oct 1993 I was a little
frustrated, because that magazine was not available. Now, later in the
train I watched a certain man who seems to be ‘special’… well finally I
took heart and contacted him and we had a nice conversation about
weather, politics etc. …all at once it came out: He was the then chief
editor of “my Jewish” magazine !!! … Mr. Daniel Dagan ! - so we spoke
about ‘Oslo Accord’ …I had some ‘question marks’ – But he (then) was
very optimistic!
Part 5 – Counting Days: Project 2000
One
day Sept/Oct 1993 I found that the time span between Oslo Accord Sept
13, 1993 and the begin of the year 2000 (Jan 1, 2000) would be 2,300
days which reminded me to the book of Daniel chapter 8 also 2,300 been
mentioned. For me this was really thrilling! In Psalms 90, 12 Moses is
praying So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
So
I was curious when would there be exactly 2,000 days until the year
2,000. I calculated time and time again, very carefully and found this:
Between Sunday July 10, 1994 and January 1, 2000 it would be ‘a space’
of exactly 2,000 days. I guessed in those days end 1993 not many did
already think about the year 2000. Now, I called my cousin, Joachim
Mall, he has a graphic agency in Pforzheim/Germany and I said: what
about this idea – let’s make a giant calendar sheet and let’s show in
public anywhere just on July 10, 1994 when it will be still 2000 days
until the year 2000. Well, he was impressed and we started ‘our’
‘Project 2000’. To make a long story short: You may go to Joachim’s
website where we have details about this http://adfontis.de/2000/ .(unfortunately only in German Language ).
Part 6 – The ‘significance’ of a date: July 10, 1994 (today exactly 20 years ago!!!)
The
realization of that project was just a miracle!!!! It was finally all
quite different from what we planned!! We planned to plotter 2000 sheets
of paper, print them like puzzle pieces in cuttings and then fix
together and cover with transparent plastic. The end-size would be
around 9 meters by 15 meters: We liked to get Guinness Record! But: the
plotter and computer techniques in those days … :( we could not handle
and fix it. Well, exactly 7 days before the date July 10 we realized we
would not make it!!! We were desperate! We liked to have a BIG!
Calendar event and we had send out already 2000 invitations! To
addresses of companies, public organizations, to Church denominations,
to all international embassies in Germany, to media, radio, tv stations
etc. … What to do? Now, all at once
we ‘knew’ we had to go to a manufactory here in our nearby town who
makes flags for clubs and public sector. Could they help?
When
I entered the store of the flag company there was a friendly man… and
behind him in the shelves were placed some of the company’s manufactured
flags and banners and so on… BUT exactly in the middle there was a book
placed …The Yearbook 1993! On the cover that famous photo of the Oslo
handshake! Wow!!!
Well, to make it short: the company had those flag cloth panels and they started immediately – because time was very short! –
and they tried to fix the panels together to our required sizes…
However 2 days later they called and said: our sewing machines cannot
finish those sizes! So we went there – took altogether and a young lady
(Monica) needled/sew 39 hours almost nonstop in her garden.
In
our greenhouse we did place the cloth and did write the texts on it
word by word by hand ! (it was from the Book of Gospel of Matthew
chapters 24 and 25).
Well,
on Friday July 8! We were still in the greenhouse writing the texts…
afternoon I received a fax from Jerusalem!!! >From Ludwig Schneider
(the founder of Israeltoday.co.il - We did send to them also the
information that we do plan a calendar event) Wow!!! This fax from
Jerusalem was so refreshing!!! “…we are living of the birth pangs of the
Messiah” Ludwig Schneider wrote then and he sent G-d’s blessings!
Finally
–Just in time – Sunday July 10, 1994 we could lift by G-d’s and men
help the giant calendar sheet!!! Amazing: there did come only few people
to our calendar event…
But we knew, this was a miracle… by G-d …Just a special one week ‘creation’…
Later
we found in a Devotional by the late Richard Wurmbrand (Jew, Christian,
martyr in Romania) this wonderful text (think about – we had a big “10”
on our sheet!):
And God blessed the seventh day (Genesis 2, 3)
„In the Bible the figure 7 is the symbol of holiness.
"Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied" (Jude 14).
Every seventh year the land had to remain untilled.
When seven times seven years passed, the Jews had the year of Jubilee, in which all the land sold in the meantime returned to its first possessor.
The days of the creation were seven;
seven of each clean animal were saved from the flood.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus says in seven ways who He is.
On the cross He pronounces seven words. The Book of Revelation contains letters to seven churches, etc.
Why is just the figure 7 the sacred figure? The Chaldeans did not have our decimal system, but a heximal one, e.g. six figures and a zero.
The decimal system is arbitrary.
In the computers men use the binary system, having only a 1 and a 0.
In the heximal system, our 7 was written 10, because there were no more than six figures. Seven became the holy figure because in looking to its written form "10" it symbolized the fact that if you put before the 0, sign of human nothingness, the 1, sign of the one God,
the insignificant man becomes important, more important than all the simple figures.
The Jews were descendants of the Chaldeans. So the 7 became
their holy figure. In opposition to 7, 6, being the last simple figure,
became the symbol of everything petty. The number of the apocalyptic
beast is six, six, and again six (Rev. 13:18), which means a trifle, a
trifle, and again a trifle.
A lamb can destroy it.
If you are an impersonation of the 7, a man who has denied himself and has become a 0; and if God, "the one," has put Himself as a shield before you,
then don't fear huge beasts.
They are paper tigers.
You will be the victor.”

Well …. finally we got the Guinness entry (in the german edition of the year book 1996 on page 276) 
!
Part 7 – The ‘significance’ of a date: 7th Month, 10th Day
Later I was sometimes pondering this: The date isn’t that amazing: 7th Month, 10th Day – it is according to the Book of Leviticus 25, the Day of Atonement, and also the Day when a Jubilee has to be proclaimed.
By
the way I was very deeply moved how the Temple Institute did day by day
the Omer Counting this April, May … a kind of “Counting up”… also the
commemorating of Yom Yerushalayim and the efforts of MK Moshe Feiglin
did move me.
Well,
perhaps this was what did also refresh our memory back to our Project
2000 ! Of course sometimes I found some interesting dates in connection
with our date! And begin 2001 and 2002 about up to 2004 we did count
days past 2000… :) But the project ‘idea’ did fade away…
Finally
I found 2 exciting dates! First: I always believed there had to be some
“proof” of relevance of “our” date July 10 … (Gregorian Calendar) in
“connection” to the “Hebrew Calendar” ! so to speak to get a point in
time (July 10, 1994) recognizing “the evidence” of The ‘significance’ of a date: 7th Month, 10th Day!
This is what we found:
a) we counted 2000 days until the beginning of a “round” date (Year 2000).
Counting
further – Counting Up: until 7,000 days we came to Sunday September 8,
2013 which was (according to the sighting ! of the new moon!) Yom Teruah
– First of the month Tishrei 5774 !!!
b) and this is the most amazing: when
in 1994 my cousin Joachim showed me the blueprint of the calendar sheet
I marveled and wondered why he did “design” it in that way. … please
take a look at the photo: the headline says “2000 bis 2000” and the
bottom line also “2000 bis 2000” – which means “2000 until 2000” (a
countdown – count up).
Well
when you add those 4 times 2000 … you get just 8,000 … in other words
where would we be 8,000 days counting from July 10, 1994…?... or in
other words 6,000 days from Jan 1, 2000 ???
Look what you get:
There will be exactly 8,000 days (a “space” of 4 times 2000) since ‘our’ 7th Month, 10th Day then in 1994 and you have:
· Sun, 5 June 2016 = 28th of Iyyar, 5776 = Yom Yerushalayim !!!! which will be exactly 49 years since 1967 !!!!
Remember Leviticus 25, 10 And
thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven
years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee
forty and nine years.
11 And
ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all
the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto
you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall
return every man unto his family.
Here you have the “10th day of 7th month – connection…. On Sun June 5, 2016 … 49 years will be complete since Israel recaptured Jerusalem… it shall be a Jubilee … THE Jubilee ???
Well, time will tell, anyway, things moving quickly!
Thanks for reading,
Blessings and Shalom

P.S. Wednesday, September 23, 2015 will be 10th of Tishrei, 5776 - 10th day of 7th month - Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement – exactly !!! 17,640 days since June 7, 1967 !
17,640 days are 49 years x 360 days! (“Seven WEEKS” …. “seven times seven years” per 360 days)
