Sabbath and New Moon Message 1/1/41/120

Dear Friends,

This Sabbath is also the New Moon of the New Year, the First Month of Abib.  The study paper is The Moon and the New Year (No. 213).  This day begins the Sanctification period of the Church as the Temple of God (Sanctification of the Temple of God (No. 241) and the following Sixth day of the week is the Sanctification of the Simple and Erroneous (No. 291) of 7 Abib which is the Fast Day for the Sanctification commanded in Ezekiel 45 and which was kept by Christ and the Apostles and the entire Church of God from the beginning and through the Third century all over the Middle East and into Gaul and Britain.  The entire process is called the Sanctification of the Nations (No. 077). The Fast was mentioned by Irenaeus at the end of the Second century in his letter to the heretical Pope Victor over the Quartodeciman Disputes (No. 277). The details regarding the fast are at the end of the paper Sanctification of the Simple and Erroneous (No. 291).

The entire period is from 1 Abib to the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread over the entire 21 Days and on the morning of the Wave Sheaf Offering (No. 106B) we begin the 50 Day Omer Count to Pentecost, which is the Feast of Weeks, held on the morning of the First day of the week after the Seventh Complete Sabbath.

The Jews and the Arabs made a complete mess of the Bible Calendar and the Fasting months involved and that can be seen from the paper Hebrew and Islamic Calendar Reconciled (No. 053) and Hillel Babylonian Intercalations and the Temple Calendar (No. 195C). It is the adoption of the Babylonian Intercalations that resulted in the adoption of Hillel Calendar in 358CE and then the Armstrong system adopted it in the last day Churches of God under Armstrongism that see their entire systems of Judaism, Hadithic and Shia Islam and the Sardis and Laodicean systems all go to the Second Resurrection and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B).

The Sardis and Laodicean systems have virtually never, except by sheer accident or unavoidable circumstance, ever kept a Holy Day or Lord’s Supper on the correct days. Sometimes they have not kept them in the correct month and in many groups they have never kept them or even tried to keep them at all. That is particularly true of the New Moons (cf. Isa. 66:23; Amos 8:5). Truly it is said of them that they are dead or luke-warm and spewed out of the Mouth of God (Rev. Chapter 3) (see the Pillars of Philadelphia (No. 283)).

This year is the 41st year of the 120th Jubilee. It is the Sixth year of the Sixth cycle. Next year, the 42nd year is the Sabbath Year of the Sixth cycle and marks the year of the Reading of the Law of God as commanded in the Torah. It is the 5990th year since the closure of Eden and the rule of the God of this world (2 Cor. 4:4).  His and their time is up under any circumstances by 2027 but the wars are about to increase now with the commencement of the war of the Fifth Trumpet from Syria and the obliteration of Damascus. That will escalate to the war of the Sixth Trumpet and the virtual obliteration of mankind.

2025 is the year of the Treble Harvest of the 120th jubilee and it is our expectation that Messiah will be here to prepare for that harvest and the Sabbath Year and Jubilee for 2026 and 2027.

It is our hope and understanding that we are all to be resurrected saints by that year and we have finished the Wars of the Last Days and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141B). 2028 will mark a new Millennial System under Christ and the elect ruling as elohim from Jerusalem (see The Golden Jubilee (No. 300)).

The sifting of the world systems will leave only a few hundred million alive by 2028. These will rebuild the earth under Messiah and over the next 1000 years will prepare to get the earth ready for the Second Resurrection and the Great White Throne Judgment. Then mankind will be no more and the Demons or the  Djinn will be no more (see also the Judgment of the Demons (No. 080)). All of them will be as spirit beings and God will come to the earth and we rule the universe from Jerusalem as the City of God (No. 180).

It is a very sad situation when the ministry of the Churches of God in the last days are so blinded by error and the false teachings of the Idol Shepherd that they are unable and unwilling to correct their errors. They will take the entire remnants of the Sardis and Laodicean churches into the Second Resurrection and the brethren will follow them like sheep to the slaughter and they will forfeit their opportunity to the First Resurrection and to rule as kings and priests in the millennial system under Christ. There will be a lot of anger among the people of the Second Resurrection who were taken there by incompetent and dishonest shepherds. We will have to build cities of refuge not just to protect the popes and priests of the Trinitarian and Baal systems but also for the ministry of the Sardis and Laodicean systems of the church eras. They will be in physical form but so also will their former parishioners that were deceived and prevented from entering the First Resurrection by their dishonesty.

We know for a fact that the Sunday Worshipping Trinitarians of Baal and Easter worship will be eradicated by the Beast system itself before 2024 but their corrupted remnants will be left in tatters and the lack of understanding will have to be corrected. We will begin to teach the truth and it will begin at the House of God and we will allow none to teach that were of the corrupted systems.

Repentance is the requirement and the entire process from this day onward to Pentecost is what is required of us, both in the faith and those of Islam.

We must begin in sincerity and truth for that is what God requires of us to worship Him.

Also the studies in Islam proceed from this period from Surah 39 to Surah 60 and onwards. Pray for the enlightenment of our people around the world.
