The Oath of the Sabbath

Welcome once again. Happy Sabbath to everyone. Today, we will continue our discussion about the Sabbath and its significance and how we see it in the heavens, following up on what we talked about last week and continuing that a little bit further.

I actually wanted to share more than I will be able to today. I had to split it into two parts, or three if you count last week. So this is only one more segment and then there will be more again next week that I'm excited about, but you'll have to wait until then to get to that part.

But for today, we'll talk about what I will call the Oath of the Sabbath. Now just a quick refresher to get started from last week when we talked about the High Sabbath of Jesus' burial in the tomb comes from the verse in John 19, 31, and this parenthetical statement where it says that Sabbath day was an high day. So the weekly Sabbath was at the same time a ceremonial Sabbath.

And I don't need to go into all the detail there. We talked about that last week. And then Paul, we mentioned how he talks about the ceremonial aspects of Moses' law.

He says, let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect of an holy day or of the new moon, all these ceremonial aspects, or of the Sabbath days, also including the weekly Sabbath, which are a shadow of things to come. And that's the key point. And we saw that last week again, looking at that combination, weekly Sabbath with the ceremonial Sabbaths coming together and becoming a shadow or a prophecy, if you will, of things to come.

So this combination of Sabbaths and the ceremonial Sabbaths make a prophecy for things to come, the body of which is of Christ. Just a quick review again, we have the weekly Sabbath in yellow throughout the year, and then in blue we have those annual Sabbaths from the ceremonies of the law of Moses. And when those Sabbaths line up with a weekly Sabbath, we call that a high Sabbath.

So that's the basic idea. And depending on when the month begins, it will determine whether it's a high Sabbath or not. And those are things that we can, with modern technology, actually calculate, at least with a pretty good degree of certainty.

It's based on actual, the calculations are based on actual observations. Hundreds of observations that were put together in the calculations so that it represents what one would actually observe, and so it makes it more realistic in that way. In the end, we come up with this long table of different high Sabbaths throughout the years of the judgment.

And this list, we call it the high Sabbath list for obvious reasons, because it's the list of high Sabbaths. And from here, we see the relationship with DNA. Last week, we mentioned how this points to the blood, and particularly those white blood cells that fight off infection, and that's where the DNA is stored.

All right, so that was just a quick overview from what we talked about last week, just to get you back into the ideas that we were talking about. And today, we're going to look a little bit more at this aspect of the immunity and the comparison between the biological world and the prophetic realm. And we begin with what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6, verse 19.

He says, what? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which he have of God, and ye are not your own? So he's making this comparison between the human body and the temple of God. And we're familiar with that. And it points back again to this biological aspect, the body, the body being the temple.

And this comparison is very nice when you look at it on the cellular level. So just a brief minimalist diagram of a cell. You can compare that with the layout of the sanctuary.

The sanctuary has the holy place, and then there was the most holy place, with the courtyard being outside. And the cell is quite similar. You have the outer membrane of the cell, and then that most holy place is what we call the nucleus.

Inside the nucleus is where the DNA is kept. That's where it is stored. And that is comparable to the Ark of the Covenant in the most holy place of the sanctuary.

We have the blood was put on the ark for atonement on the mercy seat in the sanctuary, and the blood representing the DNA is in the nucleus of the cell. Now biologically speaking, the cell, or the nucleus, that DNA, that's also like the law, right? You have the two tables of stone, and the DNA has two copies of the law, two strands of the biological law, if you will. And in fact, many people understand that the two tables of the law, of the stone, were actually complete sets of the Ten Commandments on each table, one copy for one party of the covenant, and the other copy for the other party of the covenant.

So you see that same aspect where with DNA, you can cut it into two strands and you have the same information in both halves. And that law of our DNA comes out into the cell, and there it is transcribed into what we call RNA, or messenger RNA. Perhaps you have heard of that term, which has been more common with the latest technologies, mRNA technologies.

It's based off of that derivative molecule from the DNA. It's transcribed into RNA, and from there, it makes proteins and enzymes and whatever the cell might need is ultimately directed by the DNA when it comes out of the nucleus. Now, from each of the cells, they also need to communicate with other cells.

So we have some communication through that outer membrane as well. And of course, that happens chemically, and it's a very complex process. But it's ultimately, it comes from the law inside the nucleus.

It controls what happens in the main body of the cell, which in turn then influences the rest of the body. Now, in contrast, with the sanctuary service, we see it going a little bit differently. In fact, in the opposite direction.

It starts with the sacrifice of a lamb. The lamb is killed, and the blood with the DNA is taken inside the sanctuary. So we're going from the outside in, instead of from the inside out, the outside in.

Taking the blood of the lamb inside the sanctuary, and ultimately, one time per year, they would take it all the way into the most holy place and put it on the mercy seat. So why is there that difference? That's a question that we can ask ourselves. Biologically, the law in our cells is expressed ultimately in our actions.

And in God's illustration with the sanctuary, it's in the opposite direction. It comes from the lamb, that is, who does it represent? Jesus. And so we have Jesus' DNA that's taken inside.

So it represents a remediation. Because we have Jesus' blood, his DNA, coming in and being put on the mercy seat. So the question is whether there's a process, biologically, that would go in the opposite direction.

Well, it turns out that there is. There is a process called reverse transcription. Before going from the DNA to the RNA, where it's expressed from the law into the cell, that's called transcription.

Reverse transcription is going the opposite direction. From the mRNA in the cell into the nucleus, it gets reverse transcripted back into DNA. And then that DNA actually can then recombine with our actual DNA in our nucleus of the cells.

And so we have this similar process where outer influences can affect what's happening in the cells. And at least under certain circumstances, there is also that reverse transcription that goes back and can have effects on our DNA. And this is actually very relevant to what we see happening in the world today and for the last few years.

Because what is something that is an external influence? Exactly. So from the needle, they inject the mRNA. And then it's in the cells.

The technology, a lot of the difficulty in producing this technology that took years to overcome was how to get the mRNA across that barrier. But they were able to do that. And so they can get the mRNA in the cell where then it normally would be transcribed or translated into proteins in this area.

And that's where the antibodies and everything would ultimately come from. But then we have this mechanism of reverse transcription. And contrary to what we've been told, there is evidence that there's that process that happens even with the artificial mRNA that is injected.

It also can go back into the nucleus and be incorporated even into our DNA. And that's one of the unintended consequences, just to give the benefit of the doubt, of this agenda. And so you can see there's a contrast.

There's the world's method, and there's God's method. God wants the DNA of Christ to follow this path, whereas the world has their own ideas. And I just wanted to share a video.

This came just a minute or so of it. This came out just a few days ago, and from a very popular channel, Dr. John Campbell. So let's hear what they have to say.

Reverse transcriptase is a way of, to put it in pretty straightforward terms, read the RNA and say, OK, I can convert you into DNA. Now, just as DNA gets read and converted into RNA, which goes off and creates proteins, it's just the reversal, effectively, of the same process. But on this occasion, the enzyme reads the RNA first and transcribes it and translates it into DNA.

It slips it into the DNA. The science on this is called retroposition. Now, all these statements since 2021, that this stuff cannot interfere with DNA, is based on absolutely no science, because they never perform those studies that we spoke about, John.

But what all the health regulatory bodies have known, for, I think it's going on nearly 50 years now, is the science of retroposition. That is, how RNA gets reverse transcribed into DNA. Indeed, there was a Nobel Prize awarded on the science in this area.

It is so highly understood. But yet, when the modRNA drugs came out, they denied the science even existed. So, there you have the evidence that it's not just me saying these things.

Of course, there are many others, and it's becoming very more commonly understood. He's describing that reverse transcription process that I just spoke about. Now, what we want to know is how we can bring the DNA of Jesus into our nuclear arc, if you will, where the biological law of our being is.

That's what God is illustrating with the sanctuary service. So, essentially, what we see is we have our own DNA, and that's normally expressed from the inside out, whereas we want to receive Christ's DNA by faith. Now, the mind influences the biological processes as well, and then we want that to transform us on the inside.

That's what we are talking about when we say, His character should be written in our hearts. It literally should be written in our DNA. And this, in the setting of the sanctuary, really relates a lot to that Day of Atonement like we talked about last week, where one day a year they would bring the blood into the most holy place and put it on the mercy seat and make atonement for the sins.

And this was a process of cleansing the sanctuary. And that cleansing of the sanctuary brings us back to the prophecy in Daniel, where he talks about the time related to the cleansing of the sanctuary. Daniel 8, verse 13, Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden underfoot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days.

Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. So here we have this time until the sanctuary would be cleansed. Understand that the grammar allows this to be, to refer either to the beginning of the cleansing of the sanctuary or to its end.

It doesn't necessarily mean, then shall be completed the cleansing of the sanctuary. But it can mean, then shall the sanctuary begin to be cleansed. So it can go either way.

And in fact, we will see that more clearly in a second. First let me go back here and point out that it's talking about the daily sacrifice. You'll remember that this word sacrifice is just supplied in the English translation, but it's not there in the original language.

And the word daily means like the continual. And several weeks ago we talked about that and how that corresponds to the DNA. The continual line from Adam all the way until the present through the bloodline.

That's what that is referring to. So we see that this cleansing of the sanctuary prophecy is directly connected to that sanctuary of the body and the cleansing of the DNA, if you will. So the cleansing of the DNA is the correcting of our character, repairing our DNA according to the DNA of the Lamb.

And then just briefly, we saw this before with the 70 weeks of Daniel, how it points to the time of the cross from 457 BC until AD 31 at the crucifixion. And at the end of the full 70 weeks was at AD 34 with the stoning of Stephen. But all of this timeline of the 70 weeks is actually said to be cut off from the 2,300 days.

That's the context in which it is given. And when it says that it's cut off and then you understand that it's in this context of the 2,300 days, then we can take the 2,300 days and extend it from 457 BC until 1844 AD. And this is a very old understanding that William Miller studied out back around that time and initiated the Great Awakening in the world shortly before that time because they associated the cleansing of the sanctuary with the coming of Jesus.

I want to look at a story when Jesus cleansed the sanctuary in a literal form as well. And we'll see a little bit of parallel from that as well. And this comes from John 2. And the Jews' Passover was at hand and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money sitting.

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence, make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.

That's a key point that we will be considering more. Then said the Jews, misunderstanding what he meant, Forty and six years was this temple in building and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. So we see that this raising up the temple of the body is connected with those three days.

In order to understand this, we need to look a little bit at history. Just like we look at the Bible and we read ancient history. We read the history of the Jews from thousands of years ago.

A people that most of us today don't have a lot of contact with. At least not in this part of the world. Nevertheless, there's a lot that we learn from the Jews and from their history.

It's the same with another group of people that I already alluded to a little bit. And that is those that came out of that great awakening in 1844. They were people from all different Christian Protestant denominations.

And they assembled based on their love for Jesus and his return. Eager for his return. And so these Adventists, as they were known, have a history that we can learn from.

And when we look carefully at their history, we will see how some of these things apply. The principle is given in Galatians chapter 3. And beginning at verse 7, he says, Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. That's an important point.

Those who are of faith, those who believe in Christ, we are the children of Abraham. A lot of people today believe that we are in some way separate from Israel. But in fact, what the Bible teaches is that we are grafted into Israel.

So even though our bloodline may not follow from Abraham, our bloodline by faith does follow from Abraham. And therefore, we have this spiritual relationship with Israel. We can count ourselves, those who believe in Christ, we can count ourselves as the bloodline of Israel.

And he continues, and he says, And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse, for it is written, Cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

So this passage has been understood in different ways, and particularly among this group of Adventists. Because after 1844, God led them. I talked briefly about that last week, how God led them to an understanding of the relevance of the law again, and the Sabbath, and certain other principles that God gave to them as a help on their way.

And then there was a time in the history of that church that grew out of that people that developed into the Seventh-day Adventist church, when this became a very contentious issue, the understanding that is presented in this verse. Because it's a question, is this referring to the law of Moses, in which case it seems maybe a little bit easier to deal with, that, okay those are under Moses, they have the veil over their face, like Paul said, whenever they read Moses, but the Ten Commandments, that's a different thing. Or, is it referring to the Ten Commandments and then cursed is everyone that is not doing everything exactly as the Ten Commandments say.

And if we look in the heavens, as we considered last week, we see in Orion, the representation of what law? Moses' law, because that Orion clock pointed to the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, which was one of the annual feast days in the ceremonial system that Moses wrote about. And what about the Horologium? That's about the Ten Commandments. The Sabbath Commandment is represented by the Horologium.

So here, in the heavens, we see not one but both represented. Both the moral law of the Ten Commandments and Moses' law. And indeed, both are represented in that verse in Galatians chapter 3. If we are following the letter of the law, then we're under the curse of the law.

And that's true in the case of Moses' law as well as the Ten Commandments. But in the sign, we have the law written in stone, the law written on the parchment, Moses' law was written on parchment, and then in the eridanus, we have the law written in the heart. And that is where, that's why I have it shown in red, representing the blood, and that is where in the heart, when the law is in the heart, we obey it by the Spirit.

And then, it's by faith, and no longer are we under the curse of the law, which was by the letter, and which curse Jesus took on the cross, but we are freed from that curse, and we keep the law by faith. So this is the representation of righteousness by faith. Keeping the law, but by faith.

Not following the 613 laws that Moses outlined, or looking at the exact letter. Remember last time we talked about how even the Ten Commandments written in stone, they were geared in the words toward the people of that time. But the Spirit of the law, when we have that written in our hearts, what's written is the words in the stone, but the underlying principle there.

And when that is written in the heart, it won't conflict with the words, but then it's applicable in our setting. The principles of the law are then expressed in a relevant way to us, and not in the specific way that the law would do when written on stone or on the parchment. And so like we mentioned last time, we have also represented here in the river is this combination of the High Days and the Sabbath Days, and we have then the High Sabbaths represented and in the blood.

That High Sabbath list represented in the eridanus. So this is now the process that we're looking at, this cleansing of the sanctuary, bringing Christ's obedience to the law by faith into our selves, if you will, and written into our hearts, into our very DNA. That's the cleansing of the sanctuary is the writing of his law in our hearts.

So with that background, that verse of Galatians chapter 3 and the understanding that it applies in addition to Moses' law, also to the Ten Commandments, and pointing to obedience to the law by faith, righteousness by faith. That points to a very specific time in the history of that people, and it was a very prominent and well documented time. Hundreds of books have been written about what happened, particularly in 1888.

It was a time when this message was given. There were two men who, two pastors, young pastors, who were giving this message to the church and it was presented to the highest body of the church in 1888. However, the church leadership refused to accept it.

They had a spirit of contention and pride, and they didn't want to hear this message that was coming from these young no-name preachers, and so they were biased against it, and it was a major turning point in the history of the church. A turning point in the wrong direction, and in fact just like there were two spies who went into the promised land and brought back a faithful report of the goods of the land, the good fruit of the land, so these two pastors were bringing the people this message of righteousness by faith, the fruit of the land. The purpose that God had in mind of bringing the people back to the law was to be fulfilled, and the law was to bring them to Christ.

That was his purpose, saying at this time in 1888 that they were to have that law written in their heart now and understand that it's by faith in Christ, in his righteousness, and expressing that very clearly. But because of the church's rejection, it led to a long wandering in the wilderness, as it were, just like it was in the ancient time with ancient Israel. So we see a lot of parallels between ancient Israel and the Adventist church when they had this opportunity presented to them to then leave the schoolmaster and come to Christ.

That was the purpose of that message in 1888. But I've highlighted three years here, and this is where it goes back to Jesus' cleansing of the sanctuary and how he said, in three years I will raise it up, or rather in three days, but we can understand that as three years. So we have the possibility of raising up the body within three years' time.

That's the principle that we can extract from that. And indeed, if we look at what was happening in 1890, had the message in 1888 been received, that message of righteousness by faith, been received by the leadership and promoted instead of letting pride put it down and dampen its effect, then the church could have been raised as it were. The end could have come even as far back as 1890.

Now there's a lot to be said about this, and we'll come back to it again next week. But we need to understand a little bit more about the analogy with the body because there's also a lot of symbolism there that is very nice and beautiful, actually, to understand. So we have this long list of high Sabbaths, and that's a lot like the DNA.

And if we take that and we understand how in the body that DNA is processed, how is it actually transcribed? How is it translated from this code, this list like the high Sabbath list, this list of codes, how is it made then into something functional? This is just information. So that's the question. And it turns out that there are what are called codons.

Every three rungs of the ladder, if you will, make one codon, or what we typically call triplets because there are three of them. And when the machinery in the cells are reading out this list of information, it reads it by threes in triplets. And the way it works because the DNA is very, very, very long, exceedingly long, but for any given protein that's encoded there, it's a shorter segment.

And so it needs a start codon in the beginning and then a stop codon to tell it here's where you start translating it and here's where you stop translating it. And ultimately, each of these codons or triplets then is translated by what are called ribosomes in the cell into the building blocks of the protein. And so it just strings together this chain of building blocks that all together make the protein.

So what we have are these triplets, and that corresponds with what we saw already where Jesus said, in three days I will raise up the body. And here we have that triplet. It was groups of three pulled out of that sequence, that long sequence of time of the list.

But if we look just a little bit closer, we recognize, or the biologists have recognized that there are many codes that encode the same thing. So they're given a letter here. This is not the only code that will code this particular building block that's labeled with an R. There are also other ones.

So, for example, you take any given pattern, and if you hold two of them the same, it's quite often the case that whatever that third one is, whatever that third part of the DNA of the latter is, it doesn't really matter. They all encode the same thing. So what does that mean? What that means is we can look through that list and, let me go back here, and if we compare it, we have a set of three.

We have this important triplet where the church could have been raised up. That could have been when Jesus would actually come and deliver the world from this sin, when his DNA could be written in the heart, and the sanctuary could be cleansed in that three-year period. So we have these codes, and we can look at that in the same way like it's done in the body, where you compare two of the codes, and then if there's a little change in the third code, we count that as a triplet of interest.

So let's look at this, what we end up with. Now this is looking at the High Sabbath list, that long list, on its side, just for convenience. It's all there in fine print, and what we find is here's that highlighted part in 1888 to 1890.

There's only one other time in this whole sequence, from 1841 all the way until 2015, there's only one other time where we have the exact same code, same triplet. And that's right at the end, 2013 to 2015. In those years, they had the same possibilities for the High Sabbaths.

Those are the rungs of the ladder, like in DNA. And so what we see, these other ones, are where two of them are the same, and there's just a small difference in that third one. And so like in the biological example, maybe they code for the same thing, also like a stop codon.

You have to have a start codon and a stop codon. Well, it turns out that sometimes, if the circumstances in front of the stop codon aren't quite right in the body, it may pass over that stop codon. And so that's kind of what we see.

You can think of that in terms of that analogy. And so what we have is a more or less even distribution of these special stop codons, if we could call them that, because our key triplet here was when Jesus could have come. And so that would be like the ultimate stop.

That's the stop codon. That's when the transcription should end. But because it wasn't really fully written in the heart, then it had to be passed over and likewise for these others.

And so what we see here corresponds to another prophecy in the Bible. And that one comes from Revelation chapter 10. And I just want to read from there a few verses.

And he set his right foot upon the sea and his left foot on the earth and cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven and swear by him that liveth forever and ever who created the heaven and the things that therein are and the earth and the things that therein are and the sea and the things which are therein that there should be time no longer. So this is connected with the end, the stop.

Of transcription, if you will. And so what we see is when we compare that with the list, we see these seven divisions that form. Because here at the end, there's no space.

So that's just basically one code on there. And we have these seven thunders. This is history, what we're looking at.

The history of God's people from the time of Miller until the time of what we sometimes call the second Miller. That's the beginning of this ministry, which came to prophesy again. But that's getting into themes for next week.

So this history, at each of these times, what we find is in those years, there were important developments that were changing the course of the church, either for good or for bad. For example, in 1861 to 1863, this was the time when the church was growing. The Adventist people, remember they had come all from various churches.

Now they were united under the Adventist name. They called themselves loosely Adventist because they were waiting for the second advent of the Lord. But as they grew, it became more needful to have some organization.

And this was the time when that was coming to a head. And finally in 1863, they organized the church and settled on the name, the Seventh-day Adventist Church. And so, that was a major shift in the history of the church when it was founded as an organization to benefit the needs and make it easier for them to accomplish the mission that God had given.

I won't go through them all, but at each time, that was a historical shift. And I already mentioned the next one in 1888. That would have been a major shift, and it was, but for the negative, because that light was rejected.

And therefore, they continued with a less than desired understanding of the law. And it wasn't until more recent times that now it's come back to where we can have that righteousness by faith that was intended to be received in 1888. So, this corresponds with the prophecy, the seven thunders that uttered their voices.

The developments in the church, like thunderings, you hear things happening, things, the sound of actions and votes by the conference or by the people rolling through the history of the church, as it were. So, it's a good description for what took place there. And then, also, he says, seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered.

Now, this is in the Revelation. The Revelation is a revelation. So, when it says, seal up those things and write them not, that should be a little bit counterintuitive, because this should be a revelation, not a sealing.

So, we understand that they were, indeed, sealed up because John would have had no way to know the history that was to unfold in this time 1,800 years later than he. And, I also want to point out that there's a seal on this. And what is it that allows us to, or allowed us to decipher this code? It's the Sabbath.

And the Sabbath is God's seal on his people. So, we see the Sabbath seal is that seal that was used to seal those seven thunders that would happen in the historical time of the church. Now, in this passage, there's a lot of relevance, also, because he mentions he swear by him that liveth forever and ever who created heaven and the things that therein are, and the earth and the things that therein are and the sea and the things which are therein.

So, heaven, earth, and the sea. And, indeed, when we compare that with the High Sabbath list, the High Sabbath list comes from a an understanding of the calendar. And the calendar involves the sun, the heavens.

We have to look at the heavens. We look at the sun for the year, because it has to be after the equinox, like we learned last week. And we look at the moon for when the month would begin.

And the sun also, the setting of the sun for the daily rhythm and the weekly rhythm for the Sabbath. So those aspects of heaven are connected with the High Sabbath list. In addition, on the earth, there are the harvests that grow.

The barley harvest we talked about last time, that had to be observed in order to determine which possibility of the beginning of the month it would be, whether it was Abib or not. So that's an earthly thing, looking at the harvest on the earth. And in the High Sabbath list, it's pointing to the history of God's people also living on the earth.

So that earthly aspect is also connected to the High Sabbath list. And what about the sea? The sea is an interesting aspect, and I would propose that it points to another aspect of the High Sabbath list that we have looked at. The cell.

In the cell, the microscopic scale, you have this sea, more or less. It's a package with a bunch of things in this sea, more or less. I'm sorry? Liquid, yeah, it's liquid.

And so that's the sea and the things which are therein. And the reason this is connected is because it's pointing to the blood, like you said. And the microscopic scale.

And also this is we can see this, the sign of the Son of Man with Orion representing the heaven, right? And then earth with the cross where Jesus came to earth and gave his life. And then the sea that blood, again, which is looking down at the cellular level. And remember, this is the baptismal scene where it points to Jesus' baptism and the dove coming down.

And that was in the sanctuary represented by, what? The laver. And in Solomon's temple, it was even called the sea because it was so big. And so there's another relationship between the sea and this cellular aspect, the blood there.

Now this angel in Revelation 10, we see a lot of correlation with Orion because it says he was clothed with a cloud. And of course, in the heavens the clouds are the comets. And here in the sign of the Son of Man, we have, as though clothing, Orion is the path of comet K2, clothed with a cloud.

In addition, it says his face was, as it were, the sun. Radiant. Radiantly shining as the sun.

And the question is, why? Why was his face shining like the sun? I think we can answer that when we understand a little bit more about these three aspects. This angel is swearing. Now you remember the word for swear, what does it literally mean? It means to seven oneself, exactly.

So we have that number seven represented there in the swearing. And here he swears by he who created heaven, he who created the earth, and also he who created the sea. Now do you see a progression? Okay, yeah? From top to bottom you have the heaven, down to the earth, and the sea, right? And which one is the biggest? Of course, the heavens.

And then? The earth, and then, especially when you understand the sea pointing to the cellular sea, we have this from the greatest down to the smallest. Swearing by him who made the heaven, the earth, and even the microscopic cellular machinery and everything there. You have to understand this has to be symbolic because they had no way to know anything about the cellular level of detail.

And yet, in the High Sabbath list, we see that all coming together. The same creator who made the heavens, who knew that at a certain time the moon would be seen and that would cause those High Sabbaths to be set at that given time, and then that formed the code that matched the circumstances that were progressing on the earth that all together represents the blood of Jesus on the cellular level. It's the same creator.

And it has to be the same creator. And therefore it's this High Sabbath list that brings all three components together. The heavens, the happenings on the earth in God's people, and even the microscopic details of immunity and the reverse transcriptase and stuff.

That's for next week. We'll talk about that. But he swears by the creator of all of those realms that there should be time no longer.

When we see this in the heavens, we can compare that with Orion. Because he's raising his hand to heaven. So he swears to heaven that would be Betelgeuse, the raised hand.

And then he has his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the earth. And so we have the two feet also accounted for. Which one is missing? The other hand.

Looking at Orion, you have the four outer stars. The three are taken up in the oath. But he has something in his hand.

He's swearing, I guess with his right hand he's swearing, and in his other hand he's holding this little open book. And what is that open book pointing to? The prophecy in Daniel of the 2300 days. We looked at that 2300 days from 457 BC to 1844.

But it's more than that. Because then began the cleansing of the sanctuary. And we connected that with the day of atonement in Orion.

And that fits nicely there, those 168 years in that gap. And then began on November 22, 2016, our ministry of the White Cloud Farm, when we opened our website for the first time. This was after the last countdown had expired.

Before that, that was the last countdown for that first process of the cleansing. More about that next week. But from the beginning of our website on November 22, 2016, the White Cloud Farm website, we opened with our first article on that day.

We have another 2300 days, another cleansing of the sanctuary. We'll understand that a little bit better next week when we talk about that in more detail. But this comes to March 12th of 2023.

And what does that point to? The beginning of the sign of the Son of Man. That's exactly when K2 was coming out of the temple and E3 was crossing the river. And so it points to the sign of the Son of Man.

And we saw already how this is representing the angel making that oath to he who created heaven, earth, and the sea, or the cellular world. And so we see all of that represented. The whole oath seen transpiring in the time of the sign of the Son of Man.

And remember, we have this going from big to small, with the heaven to earth to the cells. And if we take that in the units of time, seven years, long time, seven months, smaller time, and seven days, the smallest time. And in prophetic terms, we use 360 days for the year and 30 days for the month.

But we end up with 2,520 days for seven years because this is in the context of the oath. And then 210 days for the seven months and then the seven days. A total of 2,737 days.

And that brings us to May 20th, 2024. Just ahead. What is the significance of that day? There again we look at Orion and we see that if we make a line from Alnitak to this head star, Maesa, then the comet K2 crosses that line on May 19th, 2024.

Just the day before. So this points to the end of that process of cleansing of that sanctuary. That's what the book was in the hand of the angel.

He's used all his other limbs in the oath, swearing by heaven, the sea, and the earth. And then also the book giving the time, the 2,300 days. But we see that also with the swearing years, months, days from the time of the website pointing to the last day just before that being May 19th.

That's when that cleansing should be complete. When the law should be written in the heart and serving as the crown of Orion, the church being the crown on Christ's head. And so with that crown, then it points, the 7, 7, 7, seven years, months, and days points exactly to that very next day when he's crowned and that's May 20th, which is the anniversary of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, May 20th of A.D. 31.

And so we see all these things coming together and pointing to there shall be time no longer. When the crown is put on Jesus' head, the crown of the body of Christ that has his law written in the heart, that's his crown on the head on May 19th. Then he comes, May 20th, as in the triumphal entry and then we see that time of his coming, then proceeding after that when he says, come to me and drink of the water, that's the water of life his blood, as it were.

So with that, recall with this mention of the triumphal entry it also brings into light, into view the Passion Week and at the end of that week was the Lord's Supper and his crucifixion and so I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we are planning a Lord's Supper for May 24th, because that's when in this same anniversary sequence, Jesus had his last supper with his disciples on May 24th of A.D. 31 and so we will have our Lord's Supper on that same evening after sunset on May 24th and so we invite you to join us with that in mind. And that concludes today's installment of the message. There are still many things to talk about but we will get to that next week.

So I hope you will come back and learn more. It's an exciting subject and next week will be especially relevant to our time in history today and you'll see again how these things, a lot of the things that we mentioned today will come together and form a complete picture. So let's stand for a word of prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for the opportunity to assemble here in your house on your Sabbath day. It is the day that you have chosen as a seal for some of these mysteries that you have hidden away, but you have given the spirit of prophecy, of prophetic understanding by which we can understand the time and unravel the mysteries of the revelation. You reveal these things through the heavens and we see, especially in this prophecy today, how it is a combination of the heavens, the earth and even the microscopic realm.

You are the creator of all and we just praise you and we give you all the honor and glory for the great and marvelous things that you have done and for revealing the time and we ask your presence to be with us always for it is in Christ's blood that we trust, that we put our faith that we may walk in righteousness by faith in his blood. Thank you for your precious gifts. We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen. Thank you. I look forward to seeing you again next week.
