Our LORD Tarries Yet Again – November 1 2014 Plus 23 More Days of Tarrying? by Brother Dave Headley November 18 2014 Summary November 1 2014, the 8th Day of the 8th Month in The Hebrew Calendar, is a date that has so many things pointing to it that it had to be a very important date in God’s Time Line of The Day of Judgment. November 1 2014 is exactly 3½ years / 42 months / 1260 days from May 21 2011. These things include: 1. The drought and famine of Elijah’s day is a perfect picture of the post-May 21 2011 Day of Judgment - This drought and famine lasted precisely 3 years and 6 months. 2. The time period of 3½ years / 42 months / 1260 days appears a total of 11 Times. 3. Solomon’s Temple was completed some time in The 8th Month; 4. The mathematical relationship between the 1600 Furlongs, The Re-birth of Israel and The Number 666. 5. The spiritually significant numbers 23 & 84 appear and re-appear in God’s Complete Period of Judgment. 6. In 2014, each of the OT Holy days precedes November 1 2014 by a spiritually significant number. And 7. November 1 2014 is The 8th Day of the 8th Month of the 8th Special Lunar Tetrad. Therefore, November 1 2014 was a very important date in God’s Time Line of The Day of Judgment. However, since this date came and went without incident, November 1 2014 is quite obviously not the date of The Last Day. So When Could The Last Day Be? We will attempt to answer this question in this study. The fact that Our LORD did not return on November 1 shows us a repeating pattern of Christ tarrying, and tarrying and tarrying yet again. There are several places in The Bible where this pattern of repeated tarrying appears, including The Parable of the Bridegroom and Ten Virgins, the time when Samuel tarries while King Saul grows impatient and The Exodus Account. So, it should be no surprise to us that Christ has tarried yet again. Even so, there is evidence that He will not tarry for very long. There are a few key points that are important in this study. First, there are several events in The Bible that not 1, but 2 days are in view. These events include: 1. The Day of Atonement. 2. “The Eighth Day.” 3. The Feast of Purim. 4. God Stays The Sun and The Moon while Joshua and God Stays The Sun and The Moon while Joshua and the Israelites defeat The Amorites. 5. David and Jonathan’s secret meeting in the field. The next point is that there are two key events of special spiritual importance that occurred in what appears to be 2 mutually-exclusive times. These two events are: 1. Solomons Temple was completed on some unspecified day in The 8th Month, and 2. The Book containing The Word of God was burned up by King Jehoiakim on some unspecified day in the 9th month (Jeremiah 36:7-23). We then examined how The Number 23 Appears and Re-Appears in God’s Biblical Timeline. Unlike other spiritually significant numbers that are multiplied together, God adds the number 23 to the number of days or years that separate some of the most important events in The Bible. For example, • The Creation (11,013 BC) to The Flood (4,990 BC) equals 6,000 plus 23 Years • The Flood (4,990 BC) to The Cross (33 AD) equals 5,000 plus 23 Years • The Creation (11,013 BC) to The First Day of Judgment May 21 2011 (4,990 BC) equals 13,000 plus 23 Years. But then God switches gears and uses The Number 23 in various ways: • The Church Age (33 AD to 1988 AD) = 1955 Years = 5 x 17 x 23 Years. • The Great Tribulation (May 21 1988 to May 20 2011) = 8400 Days = 23 Years. And the first part of The Great Tribulation lasted 2300 days. • And IF The First Part of The Day of Judgment is indeed 1260 Days / 42 Months / 3½ Years, that would mean it ran from May 21 2011 to November 1 2014. During the 3½-year post-May 21 period the number 23 disappears from view. However, the number 23 re-appears yet again in the combined Great Tribulation Plus The First Part of The Day of Judgment Period. This period equals 8400 Days + 1,260 Days = 9660 Days = 5 x 84 x 23 Days. And this post-November 1 period that we are now in is what appears to be the very last extension/delay. And it looks like this period will last 23 Days, that is, from November 1 2014 to November 23 2014, inclusive. We then reviewed some information from previous studies regarding the number of days between each Holy Day and the November 1 2014 date. There are two Holy Days where The Number 23 comes into view: • Purim (March 16 2014) Delayed to November 1 2014 = 230 Days. • Feast of Tabernacles, 1st Day (October 8 2014) which is both a Sabbath Day and when a Solemn Assembly is held, Delayed to November 1 2014 = 23 Days. We then took a new look at The Feast of Tabernacles. The Feast of Tabernacles is a 7-day (not an 8-day) feast in which The First Day is when a Holy Convocation and Solemn Assembly is held. It is also a Sabbath Day. The Seventh and Last Day of The Feast is Tabernacles is neither. So it is apparent that The First Day of The Feast of Tabernacles is the most important day of this feast. This fact seems incongruous with John 7:37 which states “The last day, that great day of the feast.” If we count down 23 days from The First Day of The Feast of Tabernacles (October 8 2014), then that brings us to the important day of November 1 2014. It is then postulated that counting UP 23 Days from November 1 brings us to a possible candidate for the date of The Last Day. 23 Days from November 1, inclusive, brings us to November 23. In other words, the 23 days leading up to November 1 is a mirror reflection of the 23 days following November 1. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the number of bullocks that are to be sacrificed on The First Day of Tabernacles is 13, followed by 12 on The Second Day, 11 The Third Day, 10 The Fourth, 9 The Fifth, 8 The Sixth and 7 The Seventh Day. And so The First Day has the most number of bullocks (13) to be sacrificed of all the days of the feast. The Number 13 is associated with The Day of Judgment, that is, from Creation to The First Day of Judgment there are 13,023 Years. We then reviewed some information about how The Moon, something called The Lunar Tetrad And Jericho all point to The Last Day. The Moon can represents both The Law as well as The Accuser, Satan, who uses God’s Law to accuse each of the non-elect. Jericho is the place where several events of key spiritual significance occurred, including: • Moses and Eleazar The High Priest took a Census of The Tribes of Israel near Jericho before The Israelites entered The Promised Land. • The Battle of Jericho. • The Rapture of Elijah. • David Commands his Men to Tarry at Jericho After Being Shamed. • The Capture of the Last King of Judah in the plains of Jericho. • Christ Passes Through Jericho, Taking a Great Multitude with Him. All of these events that occurred at Jericho relate to what will occur on The Last Day. And since Jericho means “Moon” or “Moon City”, it seems likely that The Last Day will fall on The First Day of some Month, the day when The New Moon Crescent becomes visible. This study then shifts back to see how The Number 23 points to the date of The Last Day. The Shipwreck of Acts 27 is a graphic portrait of the post-May 21 2011 Day of Judgment period that we are now in. In this account, the storm lasted for 14 days. The 14 days appears to be a picture of the 1260- day period from May 21 2011 to November 1 2014 - 1260 = 14 x 90. However, when the 14th day came, Paul and the rest of the passengers had to wait a little bit longer, until daybreak (that is, when there is daylight), before they would be saved. In a way, their salvation tarried a bit longer. The text states that there were a total of 276 people on the ship who were saved - 276 = 12 x 23. Some have thought that if each person represents 1 month, then there would be 12 x 23 months which equals 23 years, the length of the pre-May 21 2011 Great Tribulation Period. This may well be true. However, I still contend that the number 276 refers to some aspect of The Day of Judgment. I believe the number 276 indicates the number of hours, specifically 276 hours, 276 hours of daylight. And this is where that intriguing verse in John 11:9 fits in so perfectly – “Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?” And so, if there are 12 hours of daylight in one day, the 276 hours of daylight equates to 23 days. And so, this account in Acts 27 appears to support the hypothesis that there will be a period of 23 literal days that precede the date of The Last Day, that is, the period from November 1 to November 23, inclusive. Remember that November 23 is when The 8th Month ends and The 9th Month begins, in the moment when The New Moon Crescent appears. Also, recall that Solomon’s Temple was completed in the 8th Month and God’s Word was burned in the 9th Month. Even so, I believe Christ will NOT return on November 23 – I believe He will tarry a little bit longer. And finally, here’s the conclusion of this study: Keep in mind that although it appears that The Last Day will fall on November 23 2014, it is clear that it will last for more than 24 hours. Recall “The Eighth Day” and Purim lasted for 2 days. And when God stayed The Sun and The Moon at Joshua’s request for “about a whole day”. And especially when David waited halfway into the second day of the month to appear to Jonathan, after the appearance of The New Moon Crescent. And so again we see a pattern that Christ tarries time after time. In other words, Christ tarried on May 21 2011 and tarried again on November 1 2014 and appears to that He is due to return at the next New Moon Crescent on November 23, only to tarry a little bit more, about a day and a half until November 24-25. AND SO, IF WE ARE TO FIND HARMONY IN ALL THE VERSES IN THIS STUDY (AND FOR THAT MATTER, ALL THE VERSES IN THE BIBLE), IT APPEARS THAT AT THE VERY MOMENT THAT THE SUN IS SETTING AND THE NEW MOON CRESCENT BECOMES VISIBLE, THE VERY MOMENT THAT STRADDLES BOTH THE 8TH AND 9TH MONTHS, THAT GOD WILL STAY BOTH THE SUN AND THE MOON IN PLACE. HE WILL KEEP THE SUN AND THE MOON SUSPENDED IN THE SKY WELL INTO WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE THE SECOND DAY OF THE 9TH MONTH, WHICH WOULD BE NOVEMBER 24-25, BUT IT WILL STILL BE “ONE DAY.” AND SINCE THE MOON REPRESENTS THE LAW, THE CRESCENT MOON WILL HANG OVER THE HEADS OF EVERY PERSON ON THE EARTH WHILE GOD USES HIS LAW TO RENDER HIS JUDGMENT ON MANKIND. I know this all sounds so very extraordinary, but then again, The Last Day is the most extraordinary day in history. And so we should not be surprised by such a scenario.

PART 10 - Return to The Shipwreck of Acts 27 PART 11- Conclusion PART 1 - Introduction I must confess that with everything that was pointing to November 1 2014, The 8th Day of The 8th Month of the Hebrew Calendar, that it would indeed be The Last Day. There are numerous agricultural, historical, political, astronomical and mathematical clues that point to November 1 2014 as the date of The Last Day. Thus, there are far too many things from Scripture for us to discount the November 1 2014 date. Some of these things include: • The drought and famine of Elijah’s day is a perfect picture of the post-May 21 2011 Day of Judgment that we are currently in. This drought and famine lasted precisely 3 years and 6 months (Luke 4:25, James 5:17-18). • The time period of 3 years and 6 months / 42 months / 1260 days appears Daniel 7:25, 12:7, Luke 4:25, James 5:17, Revelation 11:2,3,9,11, 12:6, 14, 13:5 for a total of 11 Times. • May 21 2011 + 3 years and 6 months / 42 months / 1260 days brings us to November 1 2014 as a Very Important day in The Day of Judgment. • Solomon’s Temple was completed on some unspecified day in The 8th Month (1 Kings 6:37-38). Solomon’s Temple is clearly a picture of God’s Spiritual Temple made up of His elect. • The Mathematical Relationship between The 1600 Furlongs, The Re-birth of Israel and The Number 666. If the 1600 furlongs of Revelation 14:20 represents NOT days but rather hours, then 1600 hours are in view. Then when we convert this period of hours into 24-hour days, then the 1600 HOURS equals 66.6 DAYS. 66.6 is very similar to the number 666 stated in Revelation 13:18. Furthermore, when one does this conversion from hours to days (i.e., divide 1600 by 24 NOT using a calculator but by doing the division long hand, on paper), the number 144 appears repeatedly as the remainder in the calculations. The Number 144 is very similar to the 144,000 saved from The 12 Tribes of Israel mentioned in Revelation 7:4, 14:1,3. Such a mathematical relationship between such the seemingly disparate numbers of 1600 Furlongs (Rev 14:20), 24 Elders (Rev 4:4 , 10, 5:8, 14, 11:16), The Number 666 (Rev 13:18) and The number144 (Rev 21:17) supports the notion that we are indeed correct that November 1 2014 is a very important date in The Day of Judgment. And regarding The Re-Birth of The Nation of Israel, there are 66 Years in the Hebrew Calendar plus 6, 30-day months from Israel’s Re-Birth on May 14 1948 and November 1 2014 EXACTLY TO THE DAY. • The Numbers 23 & 84 Appear and Re-appear in God’s Complete Period of Judgment. The numbers 23 & 84 are two numbers that appear and re-appear throughout God’s Biblical Timeline of History. And now near The End of Time we see that The Great Tribulation that ran from May 21 1988 to May 20 2011 lasted exactly 23 Years / 8400 Days. Then from May 21 2011 to November 1 2014 there are 1260 Days – 1260 = 15 x 84. And the total number of days from May 21 1988 to November 1 2014 is 8440 Days + 1260 Days = 9660 Days – 9660 = 5 x 23 x 84. Furthermore, 9660 days = 231,840 hours. This finding re-affirms the dates of May 21 1988, September 7 1994, and May 21 2011 as accurate and significant dates in God’s Complete Period of Judgment. • The OT Holy Days of 2014 - In 2014, the number of days that connect each of the OT Holy Days with November 1 2014 are each spiritually significant. We will review this information later. • The Lunar Tetrad of 2014-2015 is the 8th Special Lunar Tetrad since The Birth of Christ. A Lunar Tetrad is sequence of 4 consecutive Total Lunar Eclipses. A Special Lunar Tetrad occurs when the Lunar Eclipses falls on Passover / Feast of Tabernacles / Passover / Feast of Tabernacles. • November 1 2014 is exactly The 8th Day of The 8th Month of The 8th Special Lunar Tetrad. The number 8 is spiritually significant number that is in view in these instances: 1. The number of days after which a newborn male infant is to be circumcised ((Gen 17:11, Lev 12:3). 2. Noah was the 8th of 8 people on the Ark (1 Peter 3:20, 2 Peter 2:5). 3. The Day immediately following the 7-Day Feast of Tabernacles is called “The Eighth Day” (Lev 23:34-36). 4. David was the youngest of 8 brothers (1 Samuel 16:10-13) and 5. it was only after 8 days after the Crucifixion that Christ appeared to all his disciples (John 20:26). Even so, the one big shortcoming with the November 1 2014 date was it was not The 1st Day of The Month, the day of the month when The New Moon Crescent appears - It was The 8th Day of The Month. We know that The New Moon Crescent (along with all the rest of the OT Holy Days) is in view on The Last Day per Isaiah 66:22-24, and Psalm 81:3. And the only way for The New Moon Crescent to appear on any day other than the 1st Day of The Month is by a supernatural act of God. But now that we are past the November 1 date, this issue is no longer a problem. And since this date came and went without incident, November 1 2014 is quite obviously not the date of The Last Day. Even so, November 1 2014 was clearly a very important date in This Day of Judgment that we are currently in. Continue
