Background and Review:

Cheshvan 17, is identified as the Day that the water during Noah's Day reaches a flood in entirety and an abundance of spiritual water (early rain) during the autumn season (Zechariah 14:8 ). Israel reemergence as a nation in their fortieth years 1987/ 88 (5748) is identified with the start of summer (absence of latter rain -a drought, Psalms 32:4 ) and the last seven years associated with the Pentecost Harvest which ends in 1994.

This point of different simultaneous seasons is illustrated in Zechariah 14:8 where the season of summer exists spiritual during the time of autumn (early rain/sowing/harvesting) or winter (latter rain) during the time of the spiritual divisions between the early rain (former sea) and latter rain (hinder sea) harvests, also see the 2 seasons of spiritual summer and 3 months before the Final Harvest studies:

 

Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter [2779 choreph] shall it be.

 

 

There is a total absence of seven latter rain seasons from 1987/88 (5748) to 1993-94 (5754). The latter rain season is also typified as a period of 49 days (7 weeks a week as 7 years), if the latter had occurred during 1987/88 (5748) to 1993-94 (5754) the final harvest would have started in Tishri 1994 (following Pentecost). But, there is a delay typified by a 3 and 1/2 year period similar to the one in Elijah's Day bringing in the Final Latter Rain Harvest (attributable solely to latter rain).

Shevat 25 can also be considered the New Year's Day for Trees when we examine Zechariah 1:7 in the light that the tree harvested after Satan (Red Horse) gains complete control of the physical organized churches is associated with rains after Shevat 24 that belonged to another season

As we have learned earlier the Pentecost Harvest can occur without the latter rain, since it is only dependent on early rain. Wheat is also identified with summer since it starts to ripen after Pentecost (1994). However, Wheat is sown during the early rain season (which is before Pentecost). Also, Wheat needs the latter rain or its summer harvest will fail. Wheat unlike grapes and figs are limited to a single season of harvest.

Understanding the spiritual complexity of the season can be somewhat overcome if the seasons are viewed from the standpoint that the seasons have different effects pending whether:

The Final Harvest will be not be successful from summer * (1987/88) to the Feast of Ingathering (2012) as in the case of the physical organized churches

summer as drought 59 Days [59 days divided by 7 = 8.429 years absence of latter rain] or 2 months [2 years the absence of Final Harvest (that never returns**)]

 

*Psalms 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

 

** Latter Rain withheld because of whoredom, refusal to leave the city [physical organized churches become spiritual Babylon]

 

Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

  • Esther is a picture of the true believers married to Christ during the Final Season of Harvest.
  • Mordecai is a picture of the true believers who go through the Final Tribulation.
  • Haman is a picture of Satan.
  • Queen Vashti is a picture of unbelievers who are associated with the physical organized churches during the Final Tribulation.

The Study:

Cheshvan 17 is also unique in that it marks the day the fields (at least the crop fields above the flood water would have been completely destroyed. In addition, 7 days latter after Noah enters the ark (with Christ) it rained for 40 days and all that had the breath of life on land was destroyed this parallels the true believer protected during the last 47 years from the flood via captivity in physical Babylonia 587/586 to 539 BC in completion of the 70 week. The flood also typifies the total destruction of the domicile of the true believers for the physical organized churches which were spiritually destroyed 46 (1948 -1994 or 47 years inclusive) years from when National Israel was a nation.

 

Genesis 7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

Genesis 7:18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

Genesis 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

Genesis 7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

Genesis 7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

Genesis 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

 

Also, we see interesting parallelism when we add 2,300 hundred days from the beginning of the flood in its entirety on Cheshvan 17, 1987 we arrive at Adar 14 (Purim).

*The 2,300 days is synomous to the:

  1. 47 inclusive years from emergence of the unproductive summer fig (figs in leaf) typified by national Israel reemergence as a nation in 1948 (5708) to the Destruction of the Harvest Crops for the Physical Organized Churches attributable to a lack of latter rain in 1994 (5748)
  2. The 23 years from the Death of Josiah to the Deportation of the Jews in 587/586 when the Temple was destroyed in Jerusalem in 587 BC.s in 587/586 following the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 587 BC.
  3. The 47 days following from the day Noah entered the Ark and all that had the breath of Life died, the second-month 17 day or Cheshvan 17.

Purim celebrated the deliverance for the Jews (Esther Delivers the Jews Esther 5:1-9:15) who were decreed to death initially by Ahasuerus (typified as God), but the Jews death sentence was removed by Ahasuerus and a death sentence was decreed to the enemies of the Jew (those who initially sought to kill the Jews-Haman).

 

Esther 9:22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

Esther 9:23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;

Esther 9:24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;

Esther 9:25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

Esther 9:26 Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,

 

In the Final Tribulation the true believers are marked for death, not in the sense of a bloodletting but death in the sense of separation from their earthly spiritual abode (the physical organized churches). The Bible identifies the true believer being put out of the synagogue as "being killed" and refers to the physical organized churches as synagogues.

 

John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Also, when we examine the previous spiritual picture of end time Final Harvest we see that all the true believers not present in what would be considered their earthly spiritual abode:

 

2 Biblical Examples

  1. In the case Jacob and his family their earthly spiritual abode was the land of Chanaan, yet Jacob and his family brought in a type of Final Harvest in Physical Egypt.
  2. Those carried away captive during the destruction of Judah by the Babylonians were considered Good Figs, and their earthly spiritual abode was in Judah (Where the Temple was). Yet, their Temple was destroyed and they bring in a type of Final Harvest not in Judah, but in physical Babylon.

Jeremiah 24:1 The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

Jeremiah 24:2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

Jeremiah 24:3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

Jeremiah 24:4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Jeremiah 24:5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

 

The physical organized churches as represented by the horseman are the slayers of (put out true believers in the physical organized churches) the true believers who are scattered throughout the 1/3 associated with the Christian Religion. Those who remain in the physical organized churches are also typified as Babylon (a Flood) and once Satan has complete control (a flood in entirety) are identified by God for destruction (End of the Flood in Tishri 2012).

 

Jeremiah 51:36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

The 2,300 days from the date the Flood reaches it entirety to Cheshvan 17, 1987 to Purim 14, 1994 (abatement of the flood-151st Day) to Tishri 15/16 2012 (6,795 Days)

Genesis 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

*

Spiritual Flood (Typified as Babylon) destroyed Judah in 23 years, Absence of Latter Rain destroys the physical organized churches as a mechanism to bring in the Final (latter rain) Harvest

**

  • 151st Day - 151st Day water abates blessing for Noah in the ark, water is a curse for those outside of the ark.The enemies of God are typified as a Flood

Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

The drying up (abatement) of Flood earmarks the death of the enemies of God

Jeremiah 51:35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

Jeremiah 51:36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

Jeremiah 51:37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

  • 3 years - Rain withheld for 3 years during the Final Tribulation prior to the start of the Final Harvest outside of the Physical Organized Churches, which is typified as the drought that occurred during Elijah's Day in which the spiritual abode Israel produce no fruit.
  • 15 years - ( 3 Purpose X 5 Judgment) - Length of the Final Harvest period because of Latter Rain is 15 years. The Final Harvest is totally absent from the physical organized churches, because of no latter rain there. The 15 years is a period of Judgments for unsaved that remain in the physical organized churches.

Notes

1.

During the time Zedekiah Jerusalem became a besieged city, under the Babylonians. In the fifth month, the remnants of the children of Israel were carried into captivity, see Jeremiah 1:3.
