Hello, John and Doves,In some minds, there is a controversy about 30 v. 33.And yet, here's the real hitcheroo.Some claim Yeshua is claimed to have died in 30 AD, then 30 AD would be, in direct consequence, claimed to have been the fourth shmita year in the 30th cycle of Jubilees--the Jubilees having started as per Scripture when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land. [See Leviticus 25]The true date for the 30th Jubilee was 55-56 AD. [We know this is true, because the 69th Jubilee year (5727) ran from September 1966 to October 1967 (Tishrei 1 to Elul 29), and was duly punctuated by the recapture of Jerusalem on June 7, 1967--celebrated yearly on 28 Iyyar, excepting that it interferes with the weekly Shabbat.]However, some who cannot see the consequence of their error would have the date of the 30th Jubilee to have been 52-53 AD. As such, the AC can claim, based on the 30 AD claim [which is false, btw], that 2012, not 2015 [the true date] is the date that the 70th Jubilee is due to be proclaimed. Therefore, on Sukkot (or earlier) in 2012, the AC will presume to proclaim the 70th Jubilee, three years early. On or about 1 Nisan 5773, the AC will proclaim himself God, and demand to be worshipped worldwide, unless his plans hit a speedbump. [Or someone puts a brick on the accelerator. LOL]The same argument holds for those who claim 5 AD instead of 2 AD as Jesus' birthday.It's best to take the word of a Spirit-filled lawyer, who has removed all moral uncertainty from the April 3, 33 AD date for Yeshua Ha Mashiach's crucifixion. Check it out!http://bethlehemstar.net/day/day.htmThen again, don't help yourself to the truth, if you don't want to. That's a Japanese way of saying that in the so-called "Age of Grace," wisdom is for the simple asking.It is written,
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."Remember, ALL 300 or so prophecies about the first coming of Our Lord and Savior had to be fulfilled right on the money, not just the few that each one of us has bothered to acquaint himself/herself with. The fact is, as soon as anyone honestly begins trying to prove the proposed 30 AD scenario, he or she would see how it could not be true. For example, Jesus did not turn 30 years old--the year in which a young Jewish man goes out into the world to make his fortune--until His birthday, Sukkot, in 29 AD. He is proven to have been born on Sukkot in 2 BC. [You see, the Light of the World was conceived during the Feast of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, 3 BC.]Unless you come from another planet [LOL], 30 years old is not old, nor is 33, which is what Yeshua was in 33 AD, during Passover Week, which was six months before his 34th birthday, on Sukkot of that year.For it is written,"1The heavens declare the glory of God; ["In the fulness of time" (see Galatians 4:4) means the constellations and planets, too.]the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
7The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple. [Do I hear, "Jubilee," anyone?]
8The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands [The beloved Torah = "Teaching"] of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes. [See: http://www.fivedoves.com/ac/bobware820.htm.]
9The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever. [Of this we should be convinced/filled. Forget knowing anything else for sure, except Christ crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2]
The ordinances [times and seasons] of the Lord are sure
and altogether righteous. [Galatians 4:4 and Ephesians 1:9-10]
10They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11By them is your servant warned; [See: http://raptureintheairnow.com/pre-tribulation-rapture/jewish-holydays-and-feasts-of-the-lord.]
in keeping them there is great reward.
12Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."
~Blessings,Mike C.
