Praise Yah for small victories! Today, I was able to do something I've wanted to do for 30 years: get a computer program to create a window/frame/gui box. I know it seems so simple, but when I was studying computer programming 30 years ago, Java didn't exist yet. Now, Izm reading Java for Dummmies and learning what I always wanted to! I plan to make a calendar app for believers. Theres one out there, but it changes the day of the week the sabbath falls on each month, so it's not scripturally based, despite it's claim. I'm considering making the app helpful to not just conjunctionists, but also sliverists, though I haven't thought out how to do that yet. If you have any input, I welcome it. This seems like a big project, but I know if Yah wills it, I can break it down into mini apps to accomplish the big picture. I'm also considering making the calendars printable, for those who like to have something tangible or for back up. If anyone knows reliable Internet sources or less expensive books for astronomical calculations, could you please let me know of them? I know one person out of state that knows how to do this, but he already has a lot on his plate. I pray that my migraines don't deter me or confuse my work. Thank you for today's victories, Yah!

We've been producing the most accurate new-crescent calendar on this planet for about 23 years now, The Complete Believer's Calendar. Rather than the 4 astronomical predictive criteria most use, we use 11. I suggest you look it over, including the notes for each month-page. They are an education in themselves.
We send color glossy copies to thousands of believing prisoners for free across the country, to those not in prison for our cost, and have a free PDF printable download on our website.
Our ministry web page posts the current month. From our multiple groups of veteran observers in Israel, we get new moon reports each month and do instant updates of the new moon predictions, if necessary because of iffy sightings or cloud cover. We then send out email updates to our thousands of members, if they request to be on that list. The same procedure is followed for Aviv barley reports each year, so the months and Passover begin correctly.
If you need any resources or teaching on how to do these things, just let us know. The more, the merrier.

But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.
#ephesians 4:7

Every person is judged and forgiven individually on the basis of his own faith and repentance. There are ways in which we are judged as families and nations, but God’s grace to forgive sins through the atoning force of #yeshua’s blood applies one person at a time.

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
#ephesians 4:4-6

There is one people in #yeshua, not Jew and Gentile. There is one standard for God's people and one law. All those who swear allegiance to the King of Israel and commit to sanctifying his Shabbat and living according to his standards are citizens of the Kingdom of #israel.

Any attempt to limit the participation and ministry of a fellow believer on the basis of his former status as a gentile is anti-Christ in every sense of the word.

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called...
Ephesians 4:1

Whatever role you have been called to play in the Kingdom, it is as a citizen and representative of the King. To “walk in a manner worthy of the calling” is to keep the King’s law and to live among the nations in a manner which brings honor and glory to his name.

Much of Ephesians 4-5 may be a commentary on Yeshua's conversations with the Disciples at the final Passover. Mutual submission, the descent and ascent of Yeshua, etc. in John 13.

Visions in Revelation

The book of #revelation has many signs describing different events and many are described by John as being "like XYZ" as he didn't understand what he was seeing. But he always tried to explain what he saw and wasn't using hyperbole or else it wouldn't be an accurate writing of what he was shown.

What I don't understand is why doesn't he ever describe anything like a chariot without horses, but always talks about horsemen and their horses? Or, why not tell of fire and smoke coming from something like a staff that kills people rather than always talking about swords? A mushroom cloud or large fiery boats in the sky...

These would be very true descriptions for vehicles, guns, nuclear bombs and airplanes by someone who doesn't know what he is seeing. But yet he always uses warfare tools of his age to describe his visions.

Might it be that future wars will be waged with horses and swords again?

Or, might it be that he did see what he wrote and nothing different?

Isaiah 2:4 - He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.

My personal belief, there is an EMP type event coming. IDK how it will take out guns, but YHWH can do wonders.

Or is John describing exactly what he saw with no hyperbole? Don’t forget that the Revelation is a vision. Just like the “prophets” of old seeing wheels in wheels and statues made of all different metals and weird animals doing weird things and cows eating cows and grain eating grain etc. The Revelation should rightly be viewed in similar fashion - representative. It’s true but it doesn’t mean what he was seeing was things he couldn’t understand. Or that the things will be literally what he saw. No more than Kepha’s dream was really telling him to eat abominations.
I personally don’t think a mountain will literally fall out of space, somehow land only on the rivers and do nothing more than turn them bitter. As in most dreams things are very strange and make sense till we wake and try to think on them with reasoning minds.

Rhy, my thoughts. The vision, and the content of the vision, was given by YHWH. The purpose was to simply convey events evens…past, present, and future. John did the best he could to describe what he “saw” with words he knew, and with objects and symbols that he was familiar with. If YHWH used 21st century objects like space shuttles, sub-atomic particles, lazer beams, MRI images, etc etc. John would have not have been able to describe those things. God gave John a vision that John could describe… and one that conveys the events and message that God wanted us to understand. I can be content with that.

The poor man and the oppressor meet together; YHWH gives light to the eyes of both.
Proverbs 29:13

"Gives light to the eyes" means to animate with life. Every person--whether wicked or righteous, weak or strong--is made in the image of God and is given life by God.
