'As
soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water.
At that moment Heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit
of God descending like a Dove and alighting on Him. And
a voice from Heaven said, This is my Son, whom I love;
with him I am well pleased...Then Jesus was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.
After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was
hungry.' - Matthew 3:16-4:1
The purpose of this study is to chart the apparent 40-day
pattern that Jesus was in the wilderness after His baptism
by John. The study will attempt to show a correlation to
the 40-day
Elul Prophetic Pattern of repentance that could
lend some evidence as to when Jesus’ ministry began and
how long it was. The month of Elul is the 6th month with
29 days based on the Civil Year count. The month of
Tishrei would thus be the 7th month with 30 days. The 7th
month begins the last 3 of the 7 major Feasts of YHVH
to conclude with a 7-day feast,
that of Sukkot. The month of Elul is when the 40
day marker starts to include the time of
Tehsuvah or repentance. This study suggests that
this Elul 1 timeframe can be and is a prophetic template
that unlocks other prophecies.
There is some discrepancy in that the ‘head’ of the year,
that being Rosh HaShanah has been changed by the
Rabbinical Jews contrary to what YHVH prescribed to Moses
that Nisan would be the New Year, or
Religious New Year in the Spring. Nonetheless, the
40-day countdown is what was given to the prophet Jonah in
his warning to the city of ancient Nineveh. At the 40th
day, the king, people and empire repented as did even
Jonah on the account that he did not want to perform this
work of evangelism to the enemies of YHVH’s People at that
time and being non-Hebrews although they were Semitic,
racially. It is thus postulated that if the prophetic
pattern is applied to Jesus’ ministry, He was baptized by
John on the Jordan River just before or on Elul 1.
It was at this time that Jesus was presented publically
and shown His divine credentials as being ‘The Chosen One’
of the Father whom ‘was well pleased’. From that time,
Jesus was said to have been led to the wilderness for 40
days and 40 nights. It was here that He endured the time
of testing as the ‘Lamb of GOD’ had to be. This time was
one of repentance, not for Himself as Jesus was sinless
from birth but that on behalf of Eve, Adam and Humanity,
Jesus took the place as the
2nd Adam at that place and time. Jesus did what Eve
failed to do in overcoming the temptation on 3 levels. It
is well taught that the 3 sins that led Eve to cause the
fall of all of Humanity are reduced to what 1 John 2:16
outlines. The account of Genesis relates how these same 3
temptations overcame Eve and caused the Fall. These same
temptations are in play, even now and plague Humanity.
Jesus came as the 2nd Adam to reverse the curse
and overcome the temptation on behalf of Humanity. What
was the key or difference? The difference was and is the
Word of YHVH. It is not found in the Koran or other ‘holy
books’ of man’s vain philosophies. It is what Jesus used
to overcome each temptation and this after fasting and
being at the most physical, mental and psychological
weakest point humanly possible. Consider that it was
Jesus’ humanity here that was tempted and Jesus, being
fully GOD and Man, did not rely on His divine power, other
than to be led by the Holy Spirit, etc. These are the sins
of Eve, delineated and how Jesus overcame.

Tempted to possess Kingdom.
Jesus’ sword was the ‘sayings of YHVH”, the Rhema’s found
in the Devarim or the book of Deuteronomy.
Devarim means, the ‘Spoken Words’. It is the last
or 5th of the books of Moses in the Torah. It basically
specifies of the contract of the Covenant made between
YHVH and Israel, as a husband to a wife in a marriage
contract and covenant also. This recounting was given by
Moses to the congregation in the desert just before
entering in the
Promised Land. The following are the specific
weapons or words used by Jesus in each account based on
this Covenant or promise made between each other.
The
Testing of the Messiah
Solution
1 Make
bread out of stones to relieve his own hunger.
Deuteronomy 8:1-3
2 Jump from a pinnacle and rely on Angels to break His
fall.
Deuteronomy 6:16
3 Worship Lucifer in return for all the Kingdoms of the
world.
Deuteronomy 6:13
In one sense, Jesus at this time technically defeated
Lucifer, sin and the world. What was required next was to
proclaim this ‘good news’ to Israel first and then to the
Gentiles as a type of Prophet Jonah. The enactment of the
work was to be initiated by the death, burial and
resurrection of Jesus by way of the cross. The 40th day
occurred on Yom Kippur, or 10 days after the Feast of
Trumpets. These 10 days are called the ’10 Days of Awe’.
If the prophetic pattern is what occurred, then it was in
the synagogue of Nazareth where then Jesus was given the
Scroll in which the reading for that day was Isaiah 61. It
was the portion of Scripture that proclaimed the
Year of Jubilee, the setting ‘free of the captives
that sat in darkness’, etc.
Amazing, as it has been noted over the centuries is that
Jesus did not read the 2nd portion of the text that
specifies the ‘vengeance of our GOD”. That day is reserved
in full measure for the ‘Wrath of the Lamb’ to come after
the Rapture of the
Bride of Christ. It was at that time that even as a
typology, the sending off of the scapegoat to be hurled
off a cliff is what occurred with Jesus to a certain
extent. As the
Last Prophet of YHVH had ‘no honor in his own
home’, the Elders of Zion of the Synagogue were
irate and skeptical of his credentials and sought with the
crowd to throw Jesus off the cliff outside of the town.
This occurrence followed the prophetic script of the Scapegoat
that would be released on Yom Kippur as Jesus came to be
the
Scapegoat, the Lamb of GOD that was
foreshadowing the coming day at the
Cross of Calvary.
As
a foreshadowing of the prophet Jonah, Jesus concludes the
40 days of repentance for the nation of Israel and He
becomes the
Atonement. On Yom Kippur could be the foreshadowing
of the Passover Lamb, the
Scapegoat at the Cross of Calvary. It
would be Bar Abbas, another ‘Son of the Father’
that would be chosen instead to be set free as Jesus was
bound. Based on this
Elul Prophetic Pattern, it would appear that
indeed, Jesus started His 40-day testing in the wilderness
on Elul 1 or the day after. This has amazing ramifications
as that year was thus an end to a
Sabbatical Year Cycle on one hand and the start of
Jesus’ public ministry on the other.
This
study postulates that Jesus’ ministry was for 1260 days or
3.5 years based off a 360 day/year count with an
additional 30 days or month to consider a leap year and
the 40 day time of testing for a total of 1290 days. This
study supports the hypothesis that Jesus was born on
September 11, -3 BC. This means that Jesus was thus 30
years old by 10 days when He read publically from Isaiah.
Jesus was 29 years old at the time of His baptism that
correlated to the later part of August, usually around the
20-22nd. What was also astronomically significant is how
the following alignments occurred at His birth. The
following are the Star alignments that converged at Jesus’
birth in
Leo and Virgo.
1.
Jupiter at King Star Regulus in Leo =
Trumpets
2. Mercury ‘birthed’ in Virgo on 20th = Yom Kippur
3. Venus ‘birthed’ in Virgo on
29th = End of Sukkot
The year was 28 AD and based on the Star of David
astronomical alignment that occurred on -5 BC, one also
occurred on 28 AD to configure a ‘bookend’ of sorts,
astronomically. Thus, if one would count 1290 days from
Yom Kippur, it would result in April 1, 32 AD. This, date
would correlated to when the lambs would be ‘tested’ or
inspected for 10 days. This would also correlate to when
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the donkey and was
‘inspected’ by the
Elders of Zion for 10 days as well. However if one
counts from when the Feast of Sukkot was finished in
September 30 or October 2, 28 AD, thus the count
corresponds to April 14, 32 AD which is the day of the
crucifixion per this study’s argument. However, there is
an 11-day discrepancy based on the switch from Julian to
Gregorian calendar.
1. From
Yom Kippur on Sep 20, 28 AD + 1290 = Apr 1, 32 AD
2. From end of Sukkot on Oct 2, 28 AD + 1290 = Apr 13, 32 AD
The
April 13, 32 AD date would corroborate the theory that
Jesus died at this time and coincided with the midnight
Blood Moon as it was during the 1st Passover in
Egypt. What this study further seeks to examine is that
this Elul 1 pattern with its 40 days of repentance and
‘testing’ can be extended and applied to the destruction
of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD and more amazingly when the 3rd
Temple could be rebuilt also. If one uses this same
prophetic blueprint of a 40 day-to-year conversion as a
countdown, the similarities are amazing. In the 1st
Elul Prophetic Pattern, the countdown would occur
approximately about halfway into Jesus’ ministry, which
would be about the year 30 AD. This would set the stage as
at that time, Jesus cursed the Fig Tree that represent
Israel for having nor ‘fruit’ of repentance.
Perhaps
Jesus’ ministry started the 40-year
Elul Prophetic Pattern countdown that amazing
coincided on a prophetic type of a Yom Kippur, that of the
9th of Av around the 8-11th of August in 70 AD. As
Yom Kippur is when the nation is said to be weighed in the
balance, in this case, it was found wanting or deficient.
It was from that time forward that the
Jewish Diaspora occurred and the nation of Israel,
which was in fact the last Tribe of Judah along with the
Levites and Benjamin were sent into the nations. Sadly, in
this case, prophetically Israel as a nation succumbed to
the 3 sins of Eve and likewise caused the fall of the
whole nation and its posterity. However, as part of the
reversal of the curse of the Fig Tree, the grafting-in of
the Gentiles occurred due to Israel’s sin.

Due to the eternal Covenant between YHVH and
Abraham, 1 Tribe was allowed to remain, that of King
David’s and from where the Messiah came and will come
again, Jesus the
Root of Jesse and Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
Thus in 1948, the same amount of timespan there was from
Adam to Abraham and from Abraham to Jesus was and is the
prophetic template to have Israel reborn as foretold by
Isaiah. Then subsequently in 1967 the Old City and
Temple Mount were secured back from the Muslims.
This is one apparent affirmation that the
Elul Prophetic Pattern is prophetic and in play.
The last component of this restoration is the
reconstitution of the 3rd Temple.

Based
on the
Olive Discourse, the Nation, the City and the
Temple are a prerequisite that have to be in place during
the
Last Days when Jesus returns. As Jesus came to
revere the curse that was caused by the Fall of Eve and
Adam in the
Garden of Eden, so too is Christ Jesus working to
likewise reverse the Curse of the
Fig Tree for His Earthly People. Likewise, until
Jesus’ 2nd coming, He is individually seeking to reverse
the curse for each human on Earth. However, it is
incumbent on each human to avail themselves of this
condition of a need for repentance before the atonement
can be accredited to one’s spiritual and fallen condition.
What
this study also incorporates into the timelines is the
factor of the
phi ratio that appears to be at the core of the
prophetic patterns of the
Creator. For example in the 1st Elul
Prophetic Pattern concerning Jesus’ testing in the
wilderness, the
phi ratio from Elul 1 to the Yom Kippur date has
the fulcrum start at the Feast of Trumpets. In the 2nd
Elul Prophetic Pattern concerning the destruction
of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD, the
phi ratio from 30 AD where the Fig Tree was
‘cursed’ and Jesus’ ministry was at an approximate
midpoint, the type of Yom Kippur occurred on the
9th of Av in August of 70 AD. The
fulcrum of the phi ratio spiral at 60 AD.
This
factors in the 10 year countdown like the
10 Days of Awe that saw the nation of Israel
‘judged’ on the prophetic type of Yom Kippur, that being
the 9th of Av. In the 3rd type or
overlay of the
Elul Prophetic Pattern has to do with the countdown
to the 3rd Temple from 1967. When using the 14400 day
count, the
phi ratio pattern amazing corresponds to the
delineation of the Fall Feasts of YHVH starting with the
end of Trumpets, to the beginning of Tom Kippur and
concluding on the type of the end of Sukkot on 5777 or
2017 and corresponding to the start of 5778 with Shemini
Atzeret. This is just another possible confirmation of the
Elul Prophetic Pattern that could be prophetic and
in play and about to be fulfilled in one’s lifetime.
Will one see the event that will lead to the final ‘cure’
of the Fig Tree, Israel in that sometime in 2018, a
monumental event will lead to the end of the
Church Age and the construction of the 3rd Temple?
As a test of the power of YHVH and His plan for Israel’s
redemption and reversal of the curse, the 3rd overlay of
the
Elul Prophetic Pattern since the 6-Day War
is amazing to consider and its implications. If one adds
the 14400 days from the recapture of Jerusalem, the end
point will be the anniversary of
Noah’s Flood that occurred on November 8, 2006.
From the fulcrum of this prophetic template of 2006, the
10 years prior correlated to a type of Trumpets time, that
of 1996. Looking forward, the 12 days or years from the
type of Yom Kippur ‘judgement’ of 2006 would be 2018.

‘Elul’
‘Yom
Kippur’ ‘Shemini
Atzeret’?
As this year ends on an 8, it is reminiscent of the 8th Day
of Assembly, Shemini Atzeret which would constitute
the 13th year. Based on the
Elul Prophetic Pattern, could this gathering of the
‘Assembly’ to the King that reads the Law be correlated
prophetically to the gathering of the
Bride of Christ to Heaven to be around the Throne
of YHVH and witness the Lamb of GOD, the
Lion of Judah as the King reads from the Seal
Judgment to come? Realize that if that will be the case,
the counterfeit will occur on Earth with the AntiChrist.
He too will ‘sit’ in the
Holy of Holies and surround himself with his false
Elders of Zion and pronounce judgments on the
inhabitants of the Earth, i.e., the Mark of the Beast,
etc. Thus if the
Elul Prophetic Pattern is valid, the cycle appears
to be concluding fairly soon and a subsequent time of
‘testing’ is to commence, that of the Daniel’s last
Week of Years.
