Shabbat Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,
I am in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and will be speaking on Shabbat at Schnecksville, PA. I then speak on Sunday, September 21, to a Spanish group in Garfield, NJ, and then on Tuesday, September 22, in Waterdown, NY, before heading home. Shane and Anita have been with me this whole time. They drove to Texas to pick up the banners and books and then brought everything back to Nebraska. Offloaded most of the books and headed to Kentucky with the Banners. They are now doing this speaking tour with me. They are also going to bring the books in February to the NRB in Nashville and then go with me to Israel for the Barley search in March. I am deeply indebted to them for all their help. Fayvah is working on having me back in December for many more engagements in this area and also possibly in Arizona in January. If you want me to present to your assembly, now is the time to act and convince your pastor or rabbi to have me. Time is running out, and you really must read our teaching on Deuteronomy 30. It is going to stun you.
Shane and I are working on the 8th Day video, but it is hard to get time, even when we are resting. We are working on it. Which means I do not have an update from Sukkot to share with you at this time. So many people at our 8th Day celebrations cried; it was so beautiful, including me. I hope the video will do it justice.
If you’re concerned about September 23, 2025, and the possibility of being left behind, consider ordering our book, The Mystery of the Jewish Rapture, to have something to read after nothing happens. Seriously, if you don’t know or understand the Holy Days of Leviticus 23, you must get this book. We walk you through the Holy Days, revealing exactly when the Rapture takes place, to the very day. If you are thinking about what Yeshua said, “No one can know the day or the hour,” then you must also order our other book, It Was A Riddle Not a Command. Those people who say and repeat what Yehshua said, thinking you cannot know when the Rapture or the coming of Yehshua is, need to understand that Yehshua spoke of a Hebrewism. You absolutely can know when or about when the Messiah will come and when the Rapture is going to take place. Understand, brethren, you do not have much time, but it is not Sept 23, 2025, that much I will tell you. Get both books and invest in your family’s future and safety before it is too late.
There is a solar eclipse on September 23 over Australia. This, and it being the Feast of Trumpets on the Hillel calendar, is why some are getting excited. Just guessing. See our section below, “September 23-24, 2025 Rapture.”
The 8th month begins this coming Wednesday. See our new moon section below for full details.
We continue to post our teaching, which testifies to when the barley was Aviv and when the Wheat and the grapes were harvestable. We use the very words of those who search the barley. Watch it and share it. Really, share it because my friends have done a study on Deut 30, which confirms how horrible it is for those who don’t keep the calendar at the proper time. This study is really mind-blowing. Make sure you study it.
With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the worldwide reaction to it, I have been trying to understand what this means from a biblical perspective. No, I am not looking at events being prophetic, but I am watching all world events. Charlie Kirk’s death does seem to touch on one aspect in regard to the 10 virgins. I have more to say about that below.
The Stones Cry Out Part 1 & Part 2
The Stones Cry Out Part 1 & Part 2
Do you want to know how to prove the Zadok Calendar, the Enoch Calendar, and the Book of Jubilee Calendar false?
Do you want to know how the calendar issue became so confusing?
I got this awesome endorsement and I want to share it here now. with you.
In The Stones Cry Out, I walk you through the history of each change and why those changes came about, starting with the Maccabean days. Yes, it all began around 164 B.C. When Yehshua was here, he was dealing with two schools of thought. The Sadducees were all but wiped out when the Temple fell in 70 C.E. This left only the Pharisees, who began to be persecuted after the failure of the Bar Kochbah Revolt in 134 C.E.
The truth began to become out of focus around 160 C.E. when Rabbi Jose wrote the Seder Olam. This work originally was written to proof Simon Bar Kochbah was the Messiah. When that did not pan out the history was later revived and then redacted as the truth into the Mishneh Torah by Rabbi Judah ha Nasi in 180 C.E. After this the Jerusalem Talmud begins to debate these issues. It was then during this time as the Jerusalem Talmudist are forced to flee and the Babylonian Talmudist continue to grow until the 6th century that Hillel came up with a solution to help them keep the Holy Days at the proper time while they were out of the land of Israel. He did this in 358 C.E. This work was then modified and adjusted over the next 800 years with additions added and other rejected. Until it was finally redacted once again in 1177 by Rambam. And with that we now have the modern Hillel calendar which includes the errors passed on during each redaction. These errors included the time of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years.
Once the Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E., the Jews recorded time by counting from the time It was destroyed. This is why the 40 tombstones of Zoar, which record this information, are crucial to understand.
When you understand why the Postponement rules were first created so that the crescent moon would not be seen in another part of the world before it was seen in Israel then you can understand how they were still trying to follow the crescent moon to begin the month. The Tombstones show us this exact thing. The tombstones also show us when the Jews changed from a crescent moon to a Conjunction moon to begin the month. They also show us when the Jews changed the year from the month of Aviv to the Tishri to begin the year.
I really want you to understand these things so you know why you do what you do as far as following a calendar to keep Yehovah’s moedim.

I would like to add this recent comment to encourage you all to get this book and learn these truths. And the Book is FREE. You have no reason not to get it.
Most people assume that Hillel created the calendar in 358 C.E. They then assume that because it was a Sanhedrin, they are not allowed to change in order to obey Yehovah. The Hillel calendar has been changed many times since 358 C.E. up until 1177 C.E. Few people talk about these changes but we do in our latest Book The Stones Cry Out Part 1 which is free on our website. The Hillel calendar was changed on many occasions and many sought to make other changes during this time. They never needed a Bet Din to approve those changes. They just did them. So this excuse that we do not have the right to obey Yehovah because the Bet Din has not approved it is a crock of crap.
You have the obligation to obey Yehovah. You have the duty to prove which calendar you are to go by. You must prove it beyond all doubt. Yehshua never followed the Hillel calendar. Nor did any of the Apostles.
The reason no man can know the day or the hour is because it refers to a crescent moon to begin the 7th month. That is the day He was born on and the day He comes to judge on. At a day and hour no one can know. Using the Hillel calendar predicts Yom Teruah years in advance so every one knows when to keep it. But even in the Hillel calendar they keep two days of Yom Teruah reckoning back to the sighted moon. Also in the postponement rules developed long after Hillel, they again state that if the conjunction is at a certain time then the day begins at such and such, in order that the moon will not be seen in another part of the world before it is seen in Israel. That was rule number 2.
Everyone has to choose. You have the right to be wrong. But if you choose to be wrong then you also must live with the consequences that come with sin. And that is the death penalty for not keeping the Holy Days, these Sabbath at the proper time. It is your choice.
Just because you write in to me to justify your position does mean it is right. It just means your sounding off.
Allow me to share this endorsement of our latest book again. If you have read our books, please share your thoughts about them with us in the comments below or email me.
And yes, many observe the Equinox. There are many who are deceived, improperly educated. And this is why Joe puts out a newsletter every week, why he writes books, why the SightedMoon Zoom Shabbat service started, why he travels to places like England and the Philippines to share this message and why were are going to the NRB in February. The calendar is always a divisive issue in social circles because the details are many, that’s why there are so many books Joe has written. I’m not looking to put Joe on a pedestal here. This is not about Joe worship. But Joe has tenaciously studied out the calendar from every angle, not to prove himself right, to to seek to find and share what Yehovah is telling us about His Calendar.
In The Stones Cry Out, Joe has shared the history of all the different groups within Israel, and the beliefs they had about the scriptures and the feast days and the calendar. When you line it all up, you can see for yourself the how and why these misunderstandings and arguments about how and where and why they came about.
This is my new favourite book and I’m only 60-70 pages in. And I encourage you to read the footnotes in this one. Sometimes there’s more footnote on the page than Joe’s words.

When I wrote Stones Cry Out, I wanted it to be one of our FREE books so everyone would have it. It is more of an encyclopedia than a book to read. It will be your quick resource book; you will have access to every question about any calendar, how it got started, and who started it. You will also learn the history of how the Mishnah was assembled, when it was assembled and why. Then, you will learn how that information was transferred into both the Jerusalem and the Babylonian Talmud until it reached its final stage in the Mishneh Torah. Along with this progression, the calendar also progressed and changed long after 358 C.E. when Rabbi Hillel first published it. But…what was before the Hillel calendar? What does the Mishnah record about those things?
The Stones Cry Out was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.
You can know; it is not a mystery.
As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be more and more dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.
Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then, with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added is compounded over time.
The Stones Cry Out, Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I will be able to help you the reader understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been in use since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.
Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change the appointed seasons and commandments. Many assume Constantine did this when he made Sunday the Sabbath. Few have considered the calendar’s many changes and how they relate to us today. Hidden in this proverbial swamp of confusion is the truth about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Sabbatical and Jubilee years reveal the truths about the calendar that have been hidden for almost 2000 years.
We are in the very last days and Yehshua warned us that during this time:
Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.
Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe.
Paul also warned Timothy about these last days, warning that some would leave the truth and begin to follow demonic teachers:
1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
Paul again warned the Thessalonians that the Great Falling away would take place in the last days. How can you fall away if you have never come to know the truth? So who is Paul talking to? Those who are called and answer that calling begin to walk this road of restoration back to Yehovah, and then at some point along that walk, they change and leave this walk following the teachings of demons to false calendar.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
2Th 2:2 that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,
2Th 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.
We must endure until the end. We must not let ourselves become offended by personalities and leave the faith once given.

Join Our Sabbath Meetings
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.
What are we doing and why do we teach this way?
We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.
The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.
Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and you and I are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.
Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.
Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.
We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.
We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s, Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.
Jas 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.
We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.
Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers, songs and teaching from this hour.
Shabbat midrash will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.
We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.
Joseph Dumond is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Torah Portion
Torah Portions
We read through the entire Torah along with the Prophets and the New Testament, once over the course of 3 1/2 years. Or according to the Sabbatical Cycle which means we read it all twice over a 7-year period. This allows us to cover more in-depth rather than being rushed to cover as much as is covered on an annual basis. We allow all to comment and take part in the discussions.
Septennial Torah Portion
If you go to Torah Portion in our archived section, you can then go to the 1st year, which is the 1st year of the Sabbatical Cycle, the one we are in now, as we state at the top of every Newsletter. There, you can scroll down to the proper date and see that this Shabbat, we could very well be midrashing about:
Exodus 38
Jeremiah 10-12
Proverb 11
Acts 8
We are in the 1st Sabbatical Cycle in 2024-2025. We go through the entire bible twice in a 7 year cycle. This means we cover the entire bible once every 3 1/2 years. It gives us more time to debate and discuss each portion we read.
If you missed last week’s exciting discoveries as we studied that section, you can go and watch past Shabbats on our media section.
It Was A Riddle Not A Command
It Was A Riddle Not A Command
Listen to this Podcast discussing one of Joseph’s most popular books.
You Can Learn the Secret Meaning of:
No One Knows the Day of the Hour
Why does no One Know When Jesus was born?
When Does the Thief in the Night Come?
Why Are the Foolish Virgins Rejected?
No One Knows The Day or The Hour is a Hebrew idiom or parable.
Jesus spoke in parables to conceal His message which He later explained to the Apostles.
No One Knows The Day or the Hour is telling you the very day He will come back on!
The exact opposite to what you thought it said!
This is the very same day when He first came.
The Book of Revelation Tells you the very day and hour He was born.
You are given clues in Revelation about the thief that comes in the night, about being caught naked and ashamed. All of these clues tell you about the very day He is coming back.
Paul wrote to the Thessalonians telling them they had no need to write them about the Day of the Lord
FOR THEY KNEW FULL WELL THE MOEDIM!!!
Knowing the Moedim shows you the Day and Hour No Man Can Know.
We are also told about the Two Witnesses in the Book of Revelation…
What revelations do the Two Witnesses show you about the birth of Jesus?
There was a heavenly Host praising God when Jesus was born.
This, too, tells you the Day He was born.
Are you aware that the 5 Foolish Virgins did not understand what the Thief in the Night was?
Do You?
All these questions and so much more are explained in detail.
It was a Riddle for us to figure out.
It was not a command that we could not know.
We can KNOW.
YOU Can Know!
Thoroughly researched and profoundly significant!
5.0 out of 5 stars
There just isn’t a better book on Christian prophecy than this! What an eye opener!
Of the many books and articles that I have read on prophecy in my personal search for truth, this is the only one that does not rely on old ideas that were developed hundreds of years ago when knowledge was minimal. So much more has been learned through historical and archeological research. The world has changed so much that before now no one could have clearly envisioned how prophecy might play out.
I think the average Christian doesn’t realize that recent developments in technology and huge increases in knowledge offer us a unique opportunity to raise the veil so that we might see clearly what was once hidden behind a dark glass.
After learning about these things and seriously considering the Bible, with a willingness to set aside my traditional beliefs about prophecy, I have come to the conclusion that this book is inspired by God. Mr. Dumond presents compelling information that overturns long held assumptions and unverified beliefs making the entire body of prophetic knowledge fully accessible. As a matter of fact I think that just about anyone with no previous knowledge of the Bible would understand things that scholars have devoted their lives to explaining.
I would like everyone to know what is being shown in the pages of this book. No serious truth seeker should pass up the opportunity to have their eyes opened through its revelations. I believe it is the most important book ever written,- next to the Bible itself.
Thank you Joseph Dumond.

East Coast Prophecy Tour 2025
East Coast Prophecy Tour 2025
One lady, a newsletter reader and occasional zoom midrash participator, took it upon herself to begin contact other assemblies and churches in order to have me come and present our banners to them. She has organized three so far. I am going to go and teach them the Jubilee message. Many of you could do a similar thing if you want to. Here is her story.
Hello, My name is Fayvah Steffie from Pennsylvania and I am part of The East Coast Prophecy Tour.
With all of us gearing in to the end times and seasons; Anita Diltz and I did a book club and our first launch was The Stones Cry Out Part 1.
It was a blast of information! I am in great anticipation in reading Part 2 about the Tombstones!!! If you want to know the truth of some things – read these books! I have been dumbfounded about the jubilee cycles- never understood why we don’t know. Well now I do understand these cycles after reading Joe Dumond’s book.
Many things happened to bring this truth about in my life and a vision. I went on a trip to Greece in May with Joshua Aaron that was amazing.
Walking in Greece – 2 things – It felt like I was walking with Y’Shua in Paul’s steps! But the realty of it was and the most explanatory is that we are all like the fictional Indiana Jones daring expeditions in today’s antisemitic world.
Every year as a follower of Y’Shua I ask Him what event do you want me to do and I pray.
This year after finishing up the book club I asked? How can we further this truth in what we learned?
Ok here we go; let’s get the show on the road!
My goal is to keep all the groups intertwined but yet each one is distinct in their own practices for the Glory of Yah!
We are in this together and together we shall stand!
May the truth go out on this tour and even the last gentile come in. We give all the glory to Abbah Father.
Blessings
Fayvah Steffie
Yes, we are going to be doing this one in both Spanish and English. Help us share the information and contact Fayvah if want to consider having me come to your assembly and present this information. All you have to do is feed me.

New Moon of the 8th Month
New Moon of the 8th Month
We are expecting the 8th month to begin after having a 30-day 7th month and not 29. But that remains to be seen or not seen in this case.
Above, that is what the moon looks like on Monday evening, the 30th day of this 7th month. The moon will be too low on the horizon to see. That is what the circle represents. The conjunction will be on Sunday for those on the Hillel calendar.
Here is what the moon will look like the next day, on Tuesday evening. But this is already a 30-day month. Even if the moon is not visible on September 22 due to its difficult visibility, the new month, the 8th, begins on Tuesday evening and continues through the Wednesday day. There are no 31-day months.
September 23-24, 2025 Rapture
September 23-24, 2025 Rapture.
Internet Buzz on the Rapture on September 23, 2025
Discussions about the Rapture occurring on September 23, 2025 (or sometimes September 24), have gone viral across social media, YouTube, Reddit, and news outlets, often tied to the Jewish Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah). Proponents cite a mix of biblical day-counts, prophetic signs, dreams, visions, astronomical events, and current world events, like a UN peace and security meeting, as evidence.
Pastor Joshua Mhlakela is the South African pastor who claimed to have received a divine vision in which Jesus revealed He would return to Earth on September 23-24, 2025. He shared this prophecy in a viral YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSfKjB9xkPM) and interviews, stating that the date aligns with Rosh Hashanah (the Feast of Trumpets) and urging believers to prepare for the rapture, as “it is upon us, whether you are ready or not.”
This pastor’s viral vision claiming Jesus’ return on this date has fueled much of the hype, with some linking it to Revelation’s prophecies and even New Age or “reverse rapture” ideas where evil entities are removed instead. On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), users share memes, excitement, and countdowns, with accounts dedicated to promoting the date through gematria (e.g., Hebrew for Feast of Trumpets equaling 923) and songs like Sammy Hagar’s “Crack in the World.”
In the context of online discussions about a potential rapture on September 23, 2025, some proponents are using numerological and cultural “signs” to build hype and convince others that the date is prophetically significant. I’ll break down the two examples you referenced step by step.
Gematria and the “Feast of Trumpets” Equaling 923
Gematria is a traditional Jewish numerology system where each letter in the Hebrew alphabet is assigned a numerical value, and words or phrases can be calculated to produce a total number. This is often used in mystical or interpretive contexts to find hidden meanings in biblical texts or events.
In this case, advocates claim that the Hebrew phrase for “Feast of Trumpets” (which refers to the biblical holy day known as Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, described in Leviticus 23:23-25 and associated with trumpet blasts symbolizing awakening, judgment, or gathering) adds up to 923 in gematria. They interpret this as a direct pointer to September 23 (9/23), especially since the Feast of Trumpets in 2025 falls around September 22-24 on the Gregorian calendar. This is promoted as evidence that the rapture (the event where believers are caught up to meet Christ, as in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) will occur on that date, aligning with the feast’s themes of trumpets and divine intervention. For instance, it’s often linked to 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 (which mentions the “day of the Lord” coming like a thief), noting that the verse numbers end in “23” as another numerical clue. This idea appears frequently in social media posts, videos, and forums, where users share calculations and memes to “prove” the connection. Critics, however, dismiss it as speculative date-setting that ignores biblical warnings like Matthew 24:36 about not knowing the exact timing.
Don’t fall for false teachings that use Gregorian dates to interpret Hebraic. It is not 9/23, it is the 1st of the 7th month using the Hillel calendar, and it is the 1st of the 8th month if you use the Crescent moon and barley to begin the year. There is also a solar eclipse on the 23rd of September as well, adding even more hyperbol to the false understanding of those who do not and will not keep Torah. Don’t you be one of them.
Sammy Hagar’s Song “Crack in the World”
This refers to a 1977 song by rock musician Sammy Hagar (best known as the former lead singer of Van Halen) from his self-titled solo album, also called “The Red Album.” The lyrics include lines like: “Cause things will start separating come 2025 / So look for the subtle clues / Front page news / Depends on the side that you choose / There’s a crack in the world.” Rapture enthusiasts interpret this as a “prophetic” or “hidden” message about a global division or separation event in 2025—possibly the rapture itself, where the righteous are separated from the wicked (echoing themes in Matthew 25 or Revelation). They point out that Hagar wrote it nearly 50 years ago, yet it specifically mentions “2025,” which they see as too coincidental to ignore, especially alongside other signs like the gematria above. Some even speculate about Hagar’s own claims of alien abductions or spiritual experiences influencing the lyrics, tying it to end-times conspiracies. This is shared in videos, reels, and posts, often with clips of the song overlaid on rapture graphics, and frequently combined with the gematria point in repetitive messages from accounts on X. Skeptics view it as cherry-picking or pareidolia (seeing patterns where none exist), noting that the song’s original context was likely about social or environmental issues, not biblical prophecy.
Overall, these elements are part of a broader pattern in the online buzz, where people blend numerology, pop culture, and scripture to “confirm” the date, creating viral excitement but also drawing criticism for being unbiblical or speculative.
However, there’s significant skepticism and criticism: many Christians argue it violates Matthew 24:36 (“no one knows the day or hour”), label it as date-setting or a “cult,” and predict disappointment when it doesn’t happen, similar to past failed prophecies. Reactions range from eager anticipation (“I’m ready to go home”) to outright mockery, with some shocked if it fails and others dismissing it as delusional. Overall, it’s a polarizing topic, blending hope, fear, and debate, but not universally accepted among believers.
The Teaching from Sightedmoon.com on the Rapture
According to teachings on sightedmoon.com, the Rapture—specifically the resurrection and gathering of the 144,000 saints—will occur on Shavuot (Pentecost) in 2033, not on dates like September 23, 2025. This is based on Leviticus 23, which outlines the Holy Days, including Shavuot as the Feast of Weeks (Leviticus 23:15-21), where the counting of 50 days from the Wave Sheaf Offering culminates in an offering of firstfruits wheat, symbolizing the resurrection of the saints as “firstfruits” (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). The site uses Jubilee cycles (49-year periods from Leviticus 25) to map prophetic timelines, placing 2033 as the final year of the Great Tribulation, with Shavuot marking the rapture of those who have endured (Revelation 7:9-17, where the 144,000 come out of the tribulation). This includes the raising of King David. Unlike pre-tribulation views (common in September 23 predictions), sightedmoon.com teaches a post-tribulation rapture: believers must obey Yehovah’s commandments, keep the Sabbath and Holy Days, and endure trials, receiving the Holy Spirit as “oil” for readiness (Matthew 25:1-13). The Tribulation ends on the Day of Atonement 2033, with Shavuot as the time of transformation “in the twinkling of an eye” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52), fulfilling the wedding consummation narrative. This contrasts sharply with 2025 claims, emphasizing proven Jubilee math over visions or date-setting. Additionally, the common criticism based on Matthew 24:36 (“no one knows the day or hour”) stems from a misunderstanding; sightedmoon.com teaches this is a Hebrew idiom and riddle, not a command prohibiting knowledge of end-times timing. Yehshua spoke in parables to reveal truths to the wise while hiding them from the foolish, and this phrase points to the timing being knowable through obedience and study of the feasts.
Recommendation to Explore Further
To dive deeper into these timelines and why Shavuot 2033 aligns with Scripture, I encourage you to get “The Mystery of the Jewish Rapture 2033” by Joseph F. Dumond. It’s available on Amazon or directly from sightedmoon.com, where you can also access free resources to verify the Jubilee cycles and Holy Days for yourself. This book uses biblical proofs to clarify end-times events and prepare readers through obedience. For a thorough explanation of the Hebrew idiom “no man knows the day or the hour” as a riddle rather than a command, check out “It Was a Riddle Not a Command” by the same author, which reveals how Yehshua’s parables disclose the timing to those who seek wisely. That book can also be bought at Amazon or sightedmoon.com.
Why Are We Keeping The Feasts A Month Ahead of Everyone Else?
Why Are We Keeping The Feast A Month Ahead of Everyone Else?
We are in the 40 days of repentance leading up to the Day of Atonement when the books are closed. If your name is not found in that book, then you will not be in the Kingdom. Many people are unaware of the significance of the Feast Days. They are found in Leviticus 23, and they are for all mankind. They are not just for the Jews.
Exo 12:49 There shall be one law to the native, and to the visitor that stays among you.
Lev 24:22 One judgment shall be for you whether an alien or a native; for I am Jehovah your God.
Num 9:14 And if a stranger shall live among you, and prepares the Passover to Jehovah, he shall do according to the ordinance of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for him that was born in the land.
Num 15:15 One ordinance for you of the congregation and also for the stranger that resides with you, an ordinance forever in your generations. As you are, so the stranger shall be before Jehovah.
Num 15:16 One law and one way shall be for you and for the stranger that lives with you.
In the Kingdom of God, there will be one law. The same law that has always been. It is and has always been men who have changed Yehovah’s laws.
Mal 3:6 For I am Jehovah, I change not. Because of this you sons of Jacob are not destroyed.
Mal 3:7 From the days of your fathers, you have turned aside from My statutes, and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of Hosts. But you say. In what way shall we return?
The current Hillel calendar came to be created in the year 358 C.E. But on the Tombstone of Zoar they did not begin to implement it until 432 and 444 C.E. Those are the earliest dates I can find where they changed record keeping from Aviv to Tishri to begin the year and from using the crescent moon to begin the month to using the conjunction moon. We have recorded this in our books, The Stone Cry Out, Part One and Two. You can get your free copies at https://sightedmoon.com/the-stones-cry-out-lp/. Just click on the link, fill in the form, and start reading right away.
At Sightedmoon.com, we have learned when each calendar came into creation. We have documented those dates in The Stone Cry Out books. The Enoch, Zadok, Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Book of Jubilee Calendars all can be easily proven false, and we show you how to do that in The Stones Cry Out.
This week, I am showing you the calendar Yehovah uses. The same one that the Mishnah records was being used before the Temple was destroyed. The Mishnah was the first book written to record the ceremonies that took place at the temple. They wanted a record because they feared they would not be going back for many years. Rabbi Akiva began this collection before 135 C.E., when he was killed at the end of the Bar Kochba Revolt. That was 65 years after the Temple was destroyed. Rabbi Yehuda then redacted his notes and created the Mishnah in 180 C.E., 110 years after the temple was destroyed and 150 years after Yehshua was killed.
You can read about the Barley ceremony at this link from the Mishnah and this one as well. You can read about the First Fruits of Wheat and then the first fruits of wine, figs, pomegranates, dates and olives at this link. Yes, I am giving you the links so you can look them up yourselves. The first fruits of each species was given at a specific time of year. Barley was given on Wave Sheaf Day during the 7 Days of Unleavened Bread. This was the first Chag or going up to the Temple. The second Chag was Shavuot, when the first fruits of wheat made into two loaves were offered up. The third Chag was at Sukkot when the first fruits of wine, along with the figs, pomegranates, dates and olives were offered.
None of these first fruits depended on the equinox. They were entirely dependent on Yehovah’s decision to make them ripe, which could be achieved by sending the rains or stopping them. In the video you are about to watch, you will hear the witnesses testify how the drought made the crops ripen earlier. Yes, Yehovah did that. But you will also hear how none of them changed their position to come alongside Yehovah once they saw the evidence.
We are now in the final 10 years of awe leading up to the time Satan will be locked away at Atonement in 2033. We, as the bride, must be making ourselves white and being spotless. This means perfecting our walk and not remaining the same for convenience’s sake. But when we see errors, we change and repent.
I pray that each of you watches this video and then shares it each day on your social platforms until the Feast of Trumpets comes, and we then know when the fall feast days are. You can find them on our website at Sightedmoon.com.
Barley Review of 2025: The Barley, The Wheat and the Grapes.
The Divine Covenant: Fire, Feasts, and the Eternal Wedding
The Assassination of Charlie Kirk and Its Aftermath
On September 11, 2025, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent right-wing activist, was fatally shot by a sniper while speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, has been charged with aggravated murder, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, citing text messages where Robinson confessed and expressed frustration with Kirk’s “hatred.” This event has sparked widespread reactions, including a surge in inflammatory rhetoric from influential figures like Elon Musk.
Elon Musk’s Response and Emotions
In the days following Kirk’s assassination, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has taken a notably dark and aggressive turn in his public statements, as detailed in an NBC News report published on September 17, 2025. Musk has repeatedly urged his millions of followers to “fight,” posting variations like “fight or die” at least five times since the killing, rejecting calls for national unity and instead embracing violent imagery and inflammatory language. For instance, he endorsed a congressional member’s post suggesting that those celebrating Kirk’s death “must be thrown out of civil society” with a “100” emoji, demanded the imprisonment of rapper Bobby Vylan for insulting Kirk, and called on tech executives to deplatform or fire critics. Musk has also accused media and educational institutions of “programming people to murder,” framing the incident as part of a deepening cultural and political conflict. His emotions appear raw and defiant—marked by anger, frustration, and a sense of existential threat—echoing his past use of violent symbolism, such as wielding a chainsaw to represent cutting government spending. This culminated in a video appearance at a far-right rally in London on September 13, where he warned, “Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die.” Musk’s posts, including the “Fight Fight Fight” chant (reminiscent of Donald Trump’s post-assassination attempt rallying cry), signal a rejection of de-escalation in favour of confrontation.
Going forward, Musk’s rhetoric could have significant implications. As one of the world’s most influential figures with control over major platforms and government contracts, his calls to “fight” may further polarize society, potentially inciting more activism, protests, or even violence among his followers. This aligns with his ongoing feud with Trump over issues like spending bills, which has turned personal and could destabilize conservative alliances. It risks amplifying global far-right movements, as seen in the London rally attended by over 100,000 people. It may lead to increased scrutiny on Musk’s businesses, including threats to his government subsidies.
The Jimmy Kimmel Controversy and Its Cultural Impact
Adding to the turmoil, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” was suspended indefinitely by ABC following disparaging remarks he made about Kirk’s death in his Monday monologue. Kimmel suggested that Trump’s MAGA allies were exploiting the killing for political gain, which sparked immediate backlash from conservatives who accused him of insensitivity and hate-mongering. The suspension, announced by ABC and supported by affiliate group Nexstar, has been framed as a victory against “woke” Hollywood elitism, with right-wing commentators celebrating it as evidence of shifting cultural power. This incident has had an enormous effect in galvanizing the right, serving as a wake-up call against what many perceive as “woke” ideologies in media that mock or downplay conservative tragedies. It has fueled boycotts, increased viewership for alternative right-leaning platforms, and intensified debates over free speech, with critics on the left expressing shock and fears of censorship in real time. The fallout underscores a broader cultural reckoning, where the right feels empowered to push back against perceived biases, potentially reshaping late-night TV and entertainment norms.
Why Charlie Kirk’s Death Holds Such Status for the Right
Kirk’s assassination has elevated him to near-martyr status among conservatives and the political right, largely due to his outsized influence as a youth activist, podcaster, and organizer who mobilized millions through Turning Point USA to promote conservative values, election integrity, and opposition to “woke” culture. Many on the right view his death as a direct result of leftist “hate campaigns” and political rhetoric, framing it as an attack on free speech and conservative principles. This narrative has been amplified by figures like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and other far-right leaders abroad, who see Kirk as a symbol of global populist resistance. In the U.S., raw emotions have raged on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers expressing outrage and linking it to broader concerns about political violence. His youth and charisma make his loss particularly poignant, evoking comparisons to historical figures whose deaths galvanized movements.
The Churches Are Filled After His Death
There has been a notable surge in church attendance across the U.S. following Kirk’s death, often dubbed the “Charlie Kirk effect.” Reports indicate churches nationwide, including evangelical and Catholic congregations, have seen overflowing crowds and increased Mass attendance, with some describing it as a “Jesus revival” or Holy Spirit awakening. For instance, at places like the Cathedral of the Madeleine and various college campuses, services were packed, with people turning to faith in record numbers amid the shock. This is attributed to Kirk’s strong advocacy for Christian nationalism through Turning Point Faith, inspiring many to seek spiritual solace and recommit to religious practices. However, reactions are divided: while evangelicals on the right hail him as a martyr, other faith groups have criticized his polarizing politics, though all condemn the violence.
Did Charlie Kirk Keep the Sabbath and Holy Days? What Calendar Did He Use?
Kirk openly embraced and promoted keeping the “Jewish Sabbath” (the seventh-day Sabbath on Saturday), viewing it as a biblical mandate for rest, worship, and family time that he integrated into his Christian life. He wrote a book on the topic, advocating for Sabbath observance as a way to unplug from work and focus on God, and even gained attention from Seventh-day Adventists for his views. In speeches and writings, he contrasted it with Sunday worship, questioning why Christians don’t follow the biblical Sabbath. Regarding Holy Days (biblical feasts like those in Leviticus 23), there is no explicit evidence he observed them beyond the Sabbath, though his emphasis on “Jewish” practices suggests influence from Old Testament observances. As for the calendar, Kirk referenced the “Jewish Sabbath,” implying he followed the standard Jewish calendar (the Hillel calendar, a calculated system used by mainstream Judaism to determine dates), rather than alternatives like the sighted moon calendar promoted by groups such as sightedmoon.com. His advocacy was more about the principle of rest than specific calendrical debates.
What Caused the Global Outburst of Emotions?
The worldwide emotional outburst stems from Kirk’s international profile as a key figure in the populist right, with his death amplifying existing political divisions and fears of escalating violence. Grief, anger, and defiance have poured out from world leaders (e.g., in Europe and Latin America), who mourn him as a defender of democracy while blaming “hate-mongering” from the left. Social media and global forums show desensitization concerns alongside ironic commentary, but the core trigger is the assassination’s shock value in a polarized era, evoking calls for unity in faith and politics. This has led to biblical reflections on handling such events with principles like avoiding outbursts of anger.
Biblical Connections to the Last Days
Events like Kirk’s assassination and the ensuing emotional and rhetorical escalation, including Musk’s calls to “fight” and the Kimmel suspension, resonate with biblical descriptions of the last days. In Matthew 24:6-12, Jesus warns of “wars and rumours of wars,” nation rising against nation, famines, earthquakes, and increased lawlessness, where “the love of many will grow cold,” portraying a time of tribulation and division. Musk’s inflammatory language and the global outrage align with 2 Timothy 3:1-5, which describes perilous times where people are “lovers of self, lovers of money, brutal, treacherous, reckless,” and “having the appearance of godliness but denying its power.” The surge in church attendance could echo Joel 2:28-32 and Acts 2:17-21, where God pours out His Spirit in the last days, leading to widespread spiritual awakening amid chaos—much like the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13, where the five foolish virgins, lacking oil (symbolizing the Holy Spirit and preparedness), rush out to buy it just as the bridegroom arrives, only to miss the wedding feast. At sightedmoon.com, we’ve long warned of this very event, urging spiritual readiness through obedience to Yehovah’s commandments and feasts, and now we’re seeing many return to churches to study the scriptures during these final 10 days of awe, seeking the “oil” they previously neglected. Revelation 6’s opening seals depict conquest, war (a rider with a sword taking peace from the earth), and death, symbolizing escalating violence and societal breakdown. These scriptures suggest that such outbursts may signal approaching end-times turmoil, urging believers to watch, pray, and endure (Matthew 24:42-44).

Stephanie then mentions Jeremiah so I did a search for Chuqqah and how it is connected to the Aviv search as well. Here is the results.
“Chuqqah Yareach” is not a direct biblical phrase but appears to be a compound term derived from Hebrew words in Scripture, particularly in the context of prophetic teachings like those from sightedmoon.com or similar biblical calendar studies. Here, “Chuqqah” (חֻקָּה in Hebrew, Strong’s H2708) translates to “statute,” “ordinance,” “decree,” “appointed time,” or “law”—often referring to something prescribed by Yehovah, especially in matters of ritual, timekeeping, or divine order. “Yareach” (יָרֵחַ, Strong’s H3394) means “moon” or “month,” symbolizing the lunar cycles that govern biblical time. Together, “Chuqqah Yareach” can be understood as the “statute” or “ordinance of the moon,” emphasizing Yehovah’s fixed laws for using the moon to determine months, seasons, and holy days.
This concept is rooted in Jeremiah 31:35-36 (ESV), which states: “Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order [chuqqah] of the moon [yareach] and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the Lord of hosts is his name: ‘If this fixed order [chuqqah] departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.'” Here, “chuqqah” underscores the unchanging divine ordinances governing the moon’s cycles, which are essential for the biblical calendar. In the context of the crescent moon calendar, this implies a mandate to observe the moon’s phases—specifically, starting each month (chodesh) with the first visible crescent (new light), as opposed to calculated or conjunction-based systems. This sighted moon method aligns with ancient Israelite practices for determining new moons (rosh chodesh), which in turn set the dates for feasts and appointed times (moedim) like Passover and Sukkot. The statute (chuqqah) ensures the calendar remains tied to observable natural signs, reflecting Yehovah’s covenantal reliability, much like the moon’s phases symbolize renewal and faithfulness in Jewish tradition.
Regarding the connection to the month of Aviv (also called Nisan, the first biblical month in spring), “chuqqah” extends to the ordinances for beginning the year with Aviv, as commanded in Exodus 12:2: “This month [Aviv] shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.” Aviv (meaning “spring” or the stage when barley ears are ripe) is determined by the moon’s cycle combined with agricultural signs: the new year starts with the first sighted crescent moon after the barley reaches the aviv stage, ensuring Passover falls in spring (Exodus 13:4, Deuteronomy 16:1). This ties back to “chuqqah yareach” because the moon’s ordinances (chuqqah) govern the monthly cycle, while Aviv’s start requires aligning the lunar sighting with the barley harvest wave offering (Leviticus 23:9-14), making it a divine statute for the entire calendar. In essence, keeping Aviv as the first month upholds the broader chuqqah of the moon, ensuring all feasts are observed at their appointed times in harmony with creation’s rhythms.
Stephanie then goes on to talk about this next verse:
Deu 30:18 I denounce H5046 unto you this day, H3117 that H3588 ye shall surely perish, H6 H6 and that ye shall not H3808 prolong H748 your days H3117 upon H5921 the land, H127 whither H834 H8033 thou H859 passest over H5674(H853)Jordan H3383 to go H935 to possess H3423 it.
H6 (Ancient Hebrew)
H6 = AHLB# 1027-C (V)
1027) Db% (Db% BD) ac: Separate co: Alone ab: Destruction:The pictograph b is a representation of a tent. The d is a picture of the tent door. These two pictographs represent “the door of the tent”. The father of the tent often sat alone at the door of the tent. Here he could receive shade from the sun, watch over his household and watch the road for approaching strangers. (see Genesis 18:1,2) (eng: bad – as being alone)
H6 (Strong) אָבַד ‘âbad aw-bad’
A primitive root; properly to wander away, that is lose oneself; by implication to perish (causatively, destroy): – break, destroy (-uction), + not escape, fail, lose, (cause to, make) perish, spend, X and surely, take, be undone, X utterly, be void of, have no way to flee.
What Stephanie is connecting through this word Abad is the name of Satan in Hebrew:
Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in Greek his name is Apollyon.
Stephanie and Paul from this study they did are saying it very plainly. To avoid falling under the persuasion of Satan, Abaddon, or Apollyon, it is essential to guard and keep the Aviv and Crescent moon calendar, and to discard all that foolishness found in other calendars like Zadoc.
Colossians 2:16-17 refers to the concept of “Chuqqah Yareach” (the ordinances or statutes of the moon) by mentioning “new moons” as part of the shadows pointing to Christ: “Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.” This alludes to the lunar calendar’s role in determining appointed times, echoing the fixed order of the moon in Jeremiah 31:35-36. Other New Testament passages indirectly reference the moon’s ordinances through end-times signs in the heavens, implying disruption or fulfillment of these divine statutes:
- Matthew 24:29: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”
- Mark 13:24-25: “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”
- Luke 21:25: “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves.”
- Acts 2:20 (quoting Joel 2:31): “The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.”
- Revelation 6:12: “When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood.”
- Revelation 8:12: “The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.”
- Revelation 12:1: “And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”
These verses do not use the Hebrew term “Chuqqah Yareach” directly (as it’s an Old Testament concept from Jeremiah), but they build on it by portraying the moon as part of Yehovah’s ordained celestial order, which will be disrupted or fulfilled in prophetic events.
Deu 30:1 And it shall be when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and when you shall call them to mind among all the nations where Jehovah your God has driven you,
Deu 30:2 and shall return to Jehovah your God and shall obey His voice according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, with all your heart, and with all your soul,
Deu 30:3 then Jehovah your God will turn your captivity. And He will have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the nations where Jehovah your God has scattered you.
You will be blessed and/or cursed, wherever you are on this earth or in the heavens. This means these commandments, these ordinances for the moon and the Aviv must be kept everywhere and not just for the Jews in the land. Verse says that IF you turn, if you SHOOB return to Him and keep His Torah, then and only then will He have compassion on you and come to gather you or Rapture you from the nations. YOU MUST BE KEEPING THE HOLY DAYS AT THE PROPER TIME.
We are certainly living in amazing and turbulent times. As believers it is difficult to not allow our emotions to in get in the way of our spiritual walk.
Psalm 37 should play a key role in the approach we should be taking at this time when governments are collapsing, evil is ascendant, uncertainty is everywhere.
This Psalm instructs us not to fret, to trust in the Lord, delight in the Lord, commit our way to Him, to rest in Him, to cease from anger, and (3 times) to wait upon the Lord.
It then promises that the arms of the wicked shall be broken, they will perish and be consumed into smoke.
There are many more instructions within this Psalm that are encouraging and directive.
The righteous will inherit the earth.
I meditate on this word to help me navigate these rebellious times. I encourage all who read to seek direction in these times.
I want to affirm Neil’s comment. I’m reading through the Psalms currently and Psalm 37 was one I thought, just this week, “I should memorize that one.” A confirmation.
As the world increases in its darkness, the Psalms become that calming, steady reminder we are not alone, we have a Father who draws near to us and watches over us as we walk in stumbling obedience to His Torah.
Mike, I see Ps 37 as the handbook for these times. It really helps with the anger issues.
Charlie Kirk / Sabbath / 10 Virgins:
In the newsletter this week, you contemplate a bit about Charlie Kirk’s death and mentioned his keeping of the Sabbath. It should also be noted that his last book written is in the editing stage as it is about to be published post mortem (in December).
The timing that I believe that the the 10 Virgins waking up and the 5 foolish among them not being prepared (and, thus, no time to actually practice torah and be protected) is the beginning of the tribulation (Spring 2030, just after Passover in that Sabbatical year). As you teach, the Lamb/Messiah is already here like a thief in the night. There comes a point that He protects those who are with Him (the 5 wise virgins), while the beast persecutes the harlot makes war with the Lamb during the tribulation.
Rev 17:14 (NKVJ) “These [the multitude of the “beast” from previous verse] will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
The wise virgins are with the Lamb at this time (ie: He is no longer the Thief in the Night, but the Bridegroom that has come and is protecting these wise virgins here on earth… but He has that bit of treading the winepress to do, as written about in Isiah 63).
So… what I think this means concerning Charlie Kirk’s death is that Yehovah is using Charlie Kirk as a “martyr” to teach the Sabbath as a starting point so that they can learn more over the next four and a half years. [THEY STILL HAVE TIME!] He is still desiring that those who will prepare themselves in those couple of years before the midnight hour arrives not perish.
Personally, this week in a restaurant on Friday afternoon, I was able to teach an older married couple to keep the Sabbath (which they said they were going to do beginning that evening) because of their interest in Charlie Kirk. THEY ASKED ME TO TEACH THEM ABOUT THE SABBATH BECAUSE OF CHARLIE KIRK… I did not have “work” at convincing them at all. Tomorrow, I’m going to give them a copy of the “I do” lesson book that is on this Sightedmoon website.
Take a moment and set aside everything else aside that Charlie Kirk spoke on and all of the other reactions and such. Charlie Kirk’s last message to the world is to begin by keeping the Sabbaths. This message is what is beginning to flood social media and will have a resurgence once his book is published at the end of the year. The number of people that will begin the walk (that you and I did decades ago) will be fruitful. We sometimes wonder, is there even 144,000? Well, this is part of that gathering.
Those of us at Sightedmoon have work to do… the Lord of the Harvest will be employing us in this harvest. I have a feeling that we will need to pick up with what Charlie Kirk taught these new believers who are about to keep the Sabbath and teach them “the rest of the story” after they read Charlie’s book in December… just in time for Passover next year… and a few years before the mess of the tribulation.
