Lifting The Burden
From The Firstfruits
Transferring The Cup To The Wicked

CONSIDERATIONS

          Promised Blessings:  Daniel's 2625 years (Daniel 12:11-12) says:

          "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."

Daniel 12:12

          The 2625 year sequence (1290 + 1335) began with the death of Ahaz (Isaiah 14:28) and ended with the close of the year 6000 from Creation which is prefigured by the annual Passover.   And each Passover is always followed directly by the Week Of Unleavened Bread.   That is, the historic Exodus from Egypt got underway on the first day of the Week Of Unleavened Bread (Numbers 33:3) and Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the Week Of Unleavened Bread (John 20:19) which on that occasion happened to be the Seventh Day of the week which prefigured The LORD'S Day (Genesis 2:2-3; Exodus 20:8-11; 31:12-17; 35:1-3; John 20:1).

          When assembling the 2625 year time bridge, there was only one problem ... the death of Ahaz fell ten years short as Ahaz died in 3385 from Creation.   But the dial was moved backward ten degrees (years) to the beginning of 3376 from Creation (II Kings 20:9-11).   Now everything fit perfectly.   Even the Proclamation of Liberty occurred on Atonement of the year 6000 from Creation (i.e. 120 Jubilee cycles times 50 years per Jubilee cycle:  Genesis 6:3; Leviticus 25:8-10).   That is, even the Proclamation of Liberty was set for 3 October 1995 (EST) (Isaiah 61:1; 49:9; Luke 4:18-19).

          All appeared very copacetic, excellent, as The LORD'S Day began at sundown 16 April 1996 (EST), the start of the day of the first New Moon following the Vernal Equinox.

          What Happened:  But like Hezekiah declared:

          "This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke, and of blasphemy:  for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth."

Isaiah 37:3

          Yes, the LORD was very unhappy with humanity's lifestyle (Jeremiah 34:8,15,17).   So, conditions remained much like what existed for Moses and the Israelites when Moses returned to confront Pharaoh.   Pharaoh refused to believe despite the very obvious signs and even doubled the burden on the Israelites.

          Similarly, (like Job, Jesus, Jeremiah, and others) the Human Shepherd also had been scheduled for special troubles (compare Psalm 89:19-37 with 89:38-52).   That is, when The LORD'S Day began, the cup had not yet changed hands even though The LORD'S Day got underway in the Spring of 1996 (Isaiah 42:6-7,22; 51:21-23; 59:15; Jeremiah 25:15-17,27-29; 30:8-9; Ezekiel 6:10; 34:8,28; Habakkuk 2:16; Zechariah 2:5-9; Revelation 2:10; etc.).   Yet, GOD'S Holy Ark remained captive, prisoner of the Canaanites, even though it could have been brought forth before The Final 42 Year-Hour got underway (Leviticus 26:11-12; Isaiah 40:5; 29:6; Zechariah 5:4).

          GOD'S Properties:  When The LORD'S Day began the Firstfruits had been betrothed to GOD by their faith, believing plus obedience (James 2:14-26).   Yes, the Little Flock or Lambs were identified in the tenth year (5996 from Creation) in preparation for Passover Year and a Multitude were singled out as 6001 from Creation began.   But again nothing visible occurred.   Revelation 6:9-11, the Fifth Seal, attests that these Firstfruits (excepting for the Gleanings) were ready.   But, again, nothing visible happened.

          Meanwhile, the oppressors, the thieves, the hate mongers, the afflictors, and other wrongdoers are still doing their thing.   But remember, even though the Firstfruits continue to be victims, they are now the apple of GOD'S eye, His Betrothed Wife, so the afflictors who touch them are only getting themselves in very serious troubles (Revelation 2:5-9,10; Exodus 23:20-25; Zechariah 2:8; etc.).   So, unless, they drastically change their ways and become part of the Gleanings, they'll have 1,000 years, 1,500 years, or an eternity of misery to figure things out.

          Lifting The Burden:  If the Firstfruits had been the recipients of the promised restoration of health, well-being, and the Seven Spirits of GOD (Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honors, Glory, and Blessings:  Revelation 5:6,12; 7:12), the myriad doubting Thomases long ago would have clamored to get on the bandwagon.   Therefore, the dial has been moved, restored, ten degrees (years) ahead from 6000 to 6010 from Creation (Isaiah 38:8).

          Throughout history people have been repeatedly admonished to obey and to be ready so those who are not amongst the Firstfruits will have no one except themselves to blame.

          "The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

          "That I will break the Assyrian in My land (the Southland), and upon My mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

          "This is the purpose that is proposed upon the whole earth:  and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

          "For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it?   and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

          "In the year that King Ahaz died was this burden."

Isaiah 14:24-28
