We are approaching the Yom Teruah / Rosh HaShanah also known as the Feast of Trumpets and know what it means? The Rapture (Yes !, Possibly).
Note: Please! Do not want you to get the impression that this message is intended to mark any date for this event (the rapture), it is not so ...!
That's just a speculative effort to align the facts, and that this message may be changes if there is new information!
It is a very extensive study but worth reading so that we can be prepared for the big day!
The Rapture is not imminent, meaning it will not occur at any time ... So there is a certain time to experience the rapture? The answer is yes.
To understand the revelation of Scripture on the Rapture is important to know the prophetic significance of the Jewish feasts of the Lord, and there is knowledge of Jewish idioms used by Messiah and the Jewish believers of the first century.
There is a huge need of Christ's Church to understand the prophetic meanings of the Lord parties, because they are linked to our redemption.
The seven Jewish holidays (feasts of the Lord) were ordered by God to the people of Israel through his servant Moses described in the Torah, specifically in the Book of Leviticus chapter 23.
"Speak to the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, that convocareis shall be holy convocations; these are my feasts (My Card / My commitments):
These are the feasts of the Lord, the holy convocations, which convocareis in their seasons. " (Lev 23: 2-4)
The first four parties, also called "spring festivals", point to the first coming of the Messiah, which were perfectly fulfilled by Messiah on certain days.
The Pesach (Passover) point to crucifixion and death of Yeshua (Jesus). (Accomplished)
Matzot (unleavened bread) point to the burial of Yeshua (Jesus). (Accomplished)
Habikurim (First Fruits) point to the resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus). (Accomplished)
Shavuot (Pentecost) point to the decline in (Ruach Hakodesh) Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. (Accomplished)
The last three parties, also called "Autumn Holidays" point to the second coming of the Messiah, the first autumn festival is Yom Teruah / Rosh Hashanah known as the Feast of Trumpets who prophetically point to the Rapture of the Church. (Very close to being fulfilled)
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is the day of forgiveness and points to the redemption of Israel during the tribulation period. (Yet to be fulfilled)
Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) point to the Messiah's return to earth and the establishment of the millennial Kingdom. (Yet to be fulfilled)
Let the Feast of Trumpets that point to the Rapture of the Church.
Since the cycle of the first four feasts been fully fulfilled by the Messiah in His first coming, the cycle of the last three feasts will also be perfectly fulfilled by Messiah at his second coming.
To fully understand the rapture of the prophecies contained in the Bible, it is important to answer the two points: first is important to have understanding of the prophetic significance of the Jewish feasts of the Lord; and second is important to know the Jewish idioms of the first century, used by the Messiah and his apostles. It is worth noting that both Yeshua (Jesus) as the apostles were all Jews, followers of the Torah (Pentateuch) and the Tanakh (Old Testament).
Whereas the understanding of the prophetic significance of the Feast of Trumpets points to the Rapture of the Church, and comes three months after the last spring festival (Shavuot / Pentecost), the interval between Shavuot and Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) represents the time we are now living that is the time of the Gentiles and also called the time of grace.
The Feast of Trumpets occurs on 1st day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the religious Jewish calendar and the first civilian Jewish calendar (September / October on our calendar) and occurs TBM on the 1st day of the New Moon, considered the night more dark of the month, which is why it was not easy to identify it, given that its dark side is facing the Earth and sunless access.
The Feast of Trumpets is celebrated for two days because it was necessary to wait for up to 2 days for all Jews around the world know the confirmation of the appearance of the New Moon in Jerusalem. With the confirmation, they could save the party.
The Feast of Trumpets is the only holiday celebrated for two days in Israel, unlike what happens with all the other parties. Uncertainty occurs because of the timetable depends on when the new moon is seen, thereby designating the beginning of each new month by the rabbinical court in Jerusalem.
As the appearance of the new moon could not be accurately calculated, if adopted, then this custom to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets in two days instead of one. Thus, the Feast of Trumpets is celebrated on the first and second day of Tishrei for you are sure that the new moon would appear in Jerusalem.
The Feast of Trumpets is a time of rest, in which the trumpets are sounded to gather the people of Israel to warn about the Day of Atonement proximity (Yom Kippur), which is a day of judgment where it requires preparation and solemnity.
Yom Teruah means 'Day of the Shofar' or 'Day of the trumpet sound Awakening'.
According to Jewish tradition - Talmud
Two witnesses had to witness the new moon in the skies of a high hill in Jerusalem.
They come back and would count in the temple witnessed the New Moon and how long saw.
As a result of verification by the two witnesses was declared the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets.
In the Holy Scriptures there is a reference about this: "Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day (Feast)." (Psalm 81: 3)
Recalling that the Feast of Trumpets is the ONLY of the seven Feasts of the Lord celebrated in New Moon.
THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS HAVE DIFFERENT NAMES.
So a man may have different names to designate it as; father, husband, brother, uncle, nephew, son, the Feast of Trumpets also have names that represent it.
Teshuvah - Repentance
Rosh HaShanah - Month Head - birth of the world
Yom Teruah - Awakening Day - Day Touch Shofar
Yom HaDin - Judgement Day / Judgment
HaMelech - Messiah's Coronation
Yom HaZikkaron - Memorial Day - Remember Day as memory
The day of Jacob's trouble - (tribulation)
The opening of the gates - Day the gates open
Kiddushin / Nesu'in - Wedding Ceremony
The resurrection of the dead - Rapture
The last trumpet - Messiah's return - Touch Shofar
Yom Hakeseh - Hidden day
The day that "No one knows the day and hour"
All these features connect us directly to the CHURCH OF THE RAPTURE.
In 1 Thessalonians chapter. 5, Paul is talking to the church about the Rapture and the day of the Lord (tribulation / judgment), Paul says: But, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you.
That is relative to time and times, in other words related to parties / God commitments .. Remembering that Paul was a Jew and was talking to a people who are Jewish here, and as Paul was referring to Jewish holidays, the people Jew knew all about the parties ordained by God, and so Paul says he did not need to write or speak to you, for the Jewish people already knew the appointed time for the event which Paul was writing.
There are other examples of Paul who says:
"Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep (die), but shall all be changed;
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye (a sunset), at the last trumpet (played at the end of a Feast of Trumpets); because the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (will experience the rapture of the Bride of the Lord) "(1 Corinthians 15: 51-52).
"For the same Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord "(1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17).
The "Last Trumpet", in turn, is the last trumpet played at the end of the Feast of Trumpets, this party also called "trumpets festival". This festival is described in several passages of Scripture from which we highlight the following:
"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, the first of the month, you shall have rest, memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation." (Leviticus 23:24)
"Likewise, ye shall in the seventh month, on the first day of the month; do no servile work; will be for you day of blowing the trumpets "(number 29: 1).
Whereas there are two kinds of trumpets in the Scriptures, metal and ram's horn (shofar), the "Last Trumpet" played on the Feast of Trumpets is a Shofar ram's horn, different numbers of metal trumpet 10: 1- 3.
As noted above, the Scriptures refer to the "blowing of trumpets", ie there is existence of various tones (sounds) of Shofar.
The Shofar, the Feast of Trumpets, is played by 100 times during the two days of the festival.
Remember that there are 4 different tones of Shofar. The first 3 rings are named Tekiah (AWAKENING TOUCH / clang) Teruah and SHAVARIM, which are played 3 times repeated 11 times, for a total of 99 touches with these first three types of ringtones.
The hundredth and final touch is given by the Last Trumpet, which has a very special sound, different from the previous 99. THE LAST TRUMPET is played on the last day party and his special touch is called Tekiah HA'GADOLAH (the great sound), which is a very long and strong touch, as long as possible.
Being the Last Trumpet of the Feast of Trumpets with a special touch, the Jews always known as the "Last Trumpet".
Be Or it may be that the Rapture of the Church occur around the world in a single moment, to touch the last trump given by a rabbi during the Feast of Trumpets celebrated annually in Jerusalem.
The last trumpet is played at the end of the Feast of Trumpets, the name day of the period, traditionally the Jews as "Opening and closing of eyes", ie the sunset.
The change to night day happens in the blink of an eye by the fact that no one knows the exact time of day trading for the night, ie the sun, and this is what Paul meant that the rapture will occur at sunset Sun.
The touch Tekiah HA'GADOLAH the Last Trumpet happens on the last day, at the end of the Feast of Trumpets, the Day period is traditionally known as "open and close the eyes." This Jewish idiom of the first century means "the sun".
Thus, the touch of the Shofar Final (LAST TRUMPET) is played only on the feast of Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) at the end of this feast day, in a ceremony 100 touches, where the last trumpet is the last played ending this party at sunset (in the "twinkling of an eye").
- The meaning of the idiom "that day and hour no one knows, only the Father" used by the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) in Matthew 24:36.
Due to the uncertainty of the day and time that appear the New Moon in Jerusalem, the Feast of Trumpets, according to Jewish tradition, it was called the "Feast From that day and hour knoweth no man." Yeshua himself has used the idiom "that day and hour no one knows, only the Father" in Matthew 24:36 to refer to "Yom Teruah" when was your second coming.
Thus, the own Yeshua referred to the Feast of Trumpets to tell us about your hidden coming to rapture his church:
"But THAT DAY AND TIME NOBODY KNOWS (THAT FEAST OF TRUMPETS), not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (know)." (Matthew 24:36).
Therefore, given that the expression "Day and Hour No One Knows" refers to the Feast of Trumpets, Yeshua is telling us, in this prophecy, that the Lord's Return will be made during a Feast of Trumpets, celebrated in a year that only the Father knows.
That is, as to whether the year will be the Feast of Trumpets that will take place the Rapture of the Church, only the Heavenly Father knows.
- According to rabbinic tradition, Yom Teruah is the day that the gates of heaven are opened, confirming the revelations of Scripture that the Rapture will take place during this festival.
"Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord. This is the Lord's gate, through which the righteous shall enter "(Psalm 118: 19-20).
As we have seen in this study, the Feast of Trumpets is the ONLY of the seven Feasts of the Lord celebrated in New Moon.
Considering that Yeshua for being a Jew, he was using Jewish idioms according to their customs and traditions.
According to Jewish custom, marriage should be celebrated in New Moon, for a period of time known as "Wedding week or Bride Bridal week." Thus, the Jewish wedding, the groom comes to his bride, without notice to collect. Then both go to the bridal chamber in the groom's father's house. In this chamber, cohabitate and rejoice for seven days with the doors closed. At the end of this week, there is a wedding supper, also called the celebration of the wedding.
It is striking to note that the Prophetic Word is revealed in the prophecies and Jewish customs founded the Sacred texts of the Torah (Pentateuch) and the Old Testament.
The marriage of the King of the Jews, Yeshua, and the Church will EXACTLY as expected from a Jewish groom and his bride. According to Jewish custom, the groom comes for his bride during the New Moon. Now, with the Feast of Trumpets the ONLY LORD'S PARTY celebrated in a New Moon, the following Jewish tradition, the groom should seek his Bride by single occasion of their festivals celebrated in New Moon: the Feast of Trumpets.
First, following the Jewish tradition, the groom comes to meet his bride to snatch her to meet:
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord "(1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17).
The Bridegroom (Yeshua), then take his Bride (the Church) to the house of his Father, as the Lord himself has told us:
"In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am you may be also "(John 14: 2-3).
The Bridegroom and the Bride will stay together for a week (of years) in the heavenly chamber behind closed doors (Matthew 25:10) while on earth will be going on the seven-year Tribulation (Daniel 9:27).
"And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage, and closed the door." (Matthew 25:10)
Always following the Jewish tradition, the end of this week (of years), the wedding supper will be held, called the Supper of the Lamb, perfectly dealt with in the Book of Revelation, chapter 19, which, by revealing the fall of Babylon, the end of the seven years of the Great Tribulation, also reveals that occur at the end of these seven years, the celebration of the Supper of the Lamb.
All minutely perfect:
"Let us rejoice and be glad in, and gave him glory; because coming the marriage of the Lamb, and his wife has made herself ready.
And to her was granted to be arrayed in fine, pure and white linen; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are true words of God "(Revelation 19: 7-9).
Resorting to the original texts: the wedding sequence is when the bridegroom (Yeshua), released by the father (God), the blowing of the shofar, the new moon will fetch the bride (church) in her parents' house, lifting her (Hebrew "nissuin") in the air and snatching it (in Hebrew "laqach") to another in order to take it to the house, he, the groom prepared for them, next to his father's house: "in My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have said unto you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am you may be also "(John 14.2,3).
נשואה n esuw'ah or נשׁאה n = esu'ah what is lifted, carried or loaded
לקח laqach = snatch, take, hold, take, take by wife
Jewish wedding Bridegroom Glorioso, Yeshua and his Bride (the Church of the Lord) will occur in the mold
Jewish Wedding.
The Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit confirms the revelation in 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52, prophesying that the Rapture will occur at the touch of the Last Trumpet (as it is known the last trumpet played at the end of the Feast of Trumpets), to put sunset in Jerusalem (Jewish idiom "in the twinkling of an eye", used in the first century, means "sunset").
However, the Bible does not reveal the year in which occurs the Rapture of Trumpets Feast of the Lord's Bride. Jesus confirmed this information only the Father knows. The idiomatic expression "Of that day and hour knoweth no man" used by Jesus and the Jews of the first century was referring to the Feast of Trumpets, therefore, as the only party held in New Moon, you were reserved two days, with a view that was very difficult to identify which day actually appeared the New Moon in Jerusalem. For this reason, it was common for Jews first century believers refer to the Feast of Trumpets as the Party "From that day and hour no one knows, only the Father." Thus, a better exegesis of Matthew 24:36 sacred text can be understood in this way: "Of that Feast of Trumpets, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only knows."
Continuing the Eternal Messiah marriage, always and perfectly according to Jewish custom, the bridegroom Glorious Jewish, after snatching his Bride - during the New Moon on the Feast of Trumpets, at the last trumpet - the will to the Father's house (John 14: 2-3), where Groom and bride, behind closed doors (Matthew 25:10), be glad and rejoice for a week of years (also called, according to Jewish tradition, the "bride Bridal week" ), in the same period in which the Earth will occur a week of years of the Great Tribulation (Daniel 9:27). At the end of seven years, the Global Babylon will be destroyed, and the Lamb's Wife, will be presented in great glory, the supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19: 7-9).
It is important to note that Scripture reveals that the Rapture of the church will be triggered by the last trumpet that can be played by a rabbi at the Feast of the Trumpets in Jerusalem, "because the last trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" ie "the last trumpet will sound and you will experience the rapture of the Bride of the Lord." Yes, the Rapture of the Church will occur at the end of the Feast of Trumpets, the only of the seven Feasts of the Lord celebrated in a New Moon, the perfect mold of a Jewish wedding.
According to what we examined, the revelation of what time of year you will experience the Rapture of the Church, contained in 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16 is very clear before our eyes. And this is wonderful! According to Jewish tradition (let us remember that the Apostle Paul was a Jew and a deep knowledge of Jewish traditions), "the twinkling of an eye" means "sunset" and "Last Trumpet" refers to the last trumpet played in feast of Trumpets, this party celebrated for two days, from the appearance of the New Moon in Jerusalem. Therefore, there is no doubt that the Rapture of the Church will occur at the LAST TRUMPET Touch that will occur in the sunset of the last day sun of the Feast of Trumpets celebrated in Jerusalem, "for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" , ie "the trumpet will sound and you will experience the rapture of the Bride of the Lord."
And according to Jewish tradition and the Scriptures of the Tanakh (Old Testament), ONLY THERE IS A "LAST TRUMPET", ie the last trumpet played at the Feast of Trumpets. Thus, the "LAST TRUMPET" 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52 will be the last trumpet that will be played by a rabbi at the end of the Feast of Trumpets in Jerusalem, which will move the hands of the Holy of Holies to snatch his bride to meet in the air.
Recalling also that God said these are STROKE marked and this (the parties) is connected with the Shamayim, The heavenly bodies .., sun, moon, stars, planets .., In Genesis when He created them, He said in Genesis chapter 1:14 "Let there be lights in the expanse of Shamayim (Shamayim is plural for Heaven, then Heaven is) to separate the day from the night, and they serve to SIGNS and TIMES mARKED, and for days and years.
In the year 2014/2015 was the lunar / solar eclipses linked to Jewish festivals and among many other Signs in the heavens and on earth.
What leads us to believe that the Rapture will occur soon this coming Feast of Trumpets. The tetrad of blood moons that is directly related to Israel overlaps the last year Shemittah in a biblical cycle of seven years. It is the year of trial. (Tribulation?!)
In Joel 2:31 says - "The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD."

PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE TO ALL (AS) WOULD YOU KNOW. Thank you.
understand Revelation, one must first understand Daniel. The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation have a connection.
Let us return then to Daniel 7. There we can see the same images used in Revelation 13: lion, bear, leopard and dragon. In Daniel 7, there is a description of a power that would arise in the early centuries of the Christian era. He would unite the church and the state. This religious power usurp the authority of God. Would claim to have power to change the law of God. Let's find out who this power, where he came and what he did. Pesquisemos Bible prophecies that foretell about this power that try to change God's law. Let us open the pages of history and read their own statements claiming to have the authority to change the Sabbath of the Lord.
As you continue to read, you will understand, perhaps for the first time, the central issues in this conflict over worship and you will see why the Sabbath is so important to God. You also understand how Sunday entered the Christian church. It is a wonderful journey when we compare Bible prophecy with history. One night, the prophet Daniel had a dream. That dream is described in Daniel 7: 2 and 3: "In my vision at night I saw the four winds of heaven stirring the great sea. Four great beasts, different from one another, rose from the sea. "What these animals represent in Bible prophecy? "The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will arise on earth" (verse 17). "He gave me this explanation: 'The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth" (verse 23). These four beasts represent four kingdoms that would dominate the world.
In Daniel 7, these four great empires ruling over the world are presented or described as wildlife. In Daniel 2, the same empires are depicted as different amount of metals and strength. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, dreamed of a great image. This statue was head of gold, chest and arms of silver, bronze hips, legs of iron and feet of iron and clay. We do not need to guess the meaning of this giant statue consisting of four metals. Babylon, the first of these four kingdoms, was mentioned by name directly by Daniel (verses 37-40). He also appoints the empire dethrone Babylon, Medo-Persia (Daniel 5: 28-30). And the nation that overthrew the Medo-Persia was Greece (Daniel 8:20, 21). The four image metals represent four world powers: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome.
The image had feet of iron mixed with clay, representing a divided Europe, and a stone without hands, broke free and smashed the statue. This stone symbolizes Jesus, the Eternal Rock, one day destroy the kingdoms of this world and establish an everlasting kingdom. carefully analyze the chapter 7 of Daniel, to see how the animal figures represent these ancient nations. As these prophetic beasts pass through the timeline, we can observe the unfolding of history.
The first animal was like a lion with eagle's wings. Says the report: "The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched and at one point, its wings were plucked, and it was lifted from the ground, firmed up on two feet like a man and received the heart of man "(Daniel 7: 4). Babylon was in located in what is now Iraq, about 95 kilometers south of Baghdad. When archaeologists were conducting excavations in Iraq, they found the figure of a winged lion clearly carved on the walls of Babylon, which were made of bricks.
The lion with eagle's wings was a common symbol and name of Babylon. In fact, the prophet Jeremiah (4: 7), when talking about Babylon, says the following: "A lion got out of its den, a destroyer of nations has set the path."
Jeremiah says the destroyer of nations, Babylon, would go to Jerusalem to destroy it. The lion with eagle's wings was a common symbol of Babylon in the ancient world. At the time of Daniel, the kingdom was a gigantic power that ruled the world. Then another nation would rise. Babylon does not rule the world forever. "Then I saw a second animal that looked like a bear. He was raised by one of its sides, and in the mouth, between his teeth, had three ribs. I was told, 'Get up and eat how much meat can!' "(Daniel 7: 5).
Notice now that the second empire is like a bear that stands on one side. The Medo-Persia overthrew Babylon. The bear Medo-Persia, rising by one of its sides, is the Persians who first overthrew Babylon to then dominate the fears. What the bear has mouth? Three ribs. When Medo-Persia conquered the world, she won first Babylon, then toward the north, where he won Lydia and then to the south, which dominated Egypt.
Bible prophecy is extremely accurate. That's fantastic!
A third empire arises: "Then I saw another beast, which looked like a leopard. Back it had four wings like those of a bird.
This animal had four heads, and was given authority to rule "(verse 6). The Greeks defeated the Medes and Persians. Alexander the Great and his Greek army conquered the world quickly. If you wanted to describe a rapid conquest, what animal would you choose? Who moved well agile: the leopard. But if you wanted to talk about an extremely rapid conquest, even fast, which could make your leopard? Place wings on it! God put wings on this leopard to describe agile conquests of Alexander the Great. Why four heads? Note again the accuracy of Bible prophecy: Alexander the Great died very young, at age 36.
The four leopard heads represent the four generals of Alexander who divided the empire: Cassander, Ptolemy, Seleucus and Antigonus. The four generals of Alexander ruled exactly as the Bible foretold. The Scriptures describe a fourth empire: "In my vision at night also saw a fourth beast, terrifying, scary and very powerful. I had great iron teeth with which tore and devoured its victims, and trampled whatever was left. It was different from all the previous animals, and it had ten horns "(verse 7).
It is clear that this fourth beast is the Roman Empire. This period brings us to the time of Christ. It was a Roman decree brought Joseph to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. It was Pontius Pilate, a Roman, who judged Jesus. It was a Roman soldier who nailed Jesus on the cross. Rome ruled the world in the days of Christ. Christianity was born and raised in the Roman Empire. The Bible describes the collapse of that empire clearly through the symbol of the feet of the image and the fourth animal horns.
The image of Daniel 2 had feet of iron and clay, representing Europe divided. The fourth beast had ten horns. Rome was divided into ten major territories. The barbarian tribes swept through the empire, pillaged and took spoils, destroying villages and occupying cities. The Roman Empire was divided. The barbarian tribes the sectioned into small kingdoms. The Anglo-Saxons settled in England. The Franks, in the territory of France. The Germans, in the Germany region. And other northern tribes spread throughout the Empire, dividing the territory more or less the way we see today. These divisions represent the ten horns of the fourth beast.
Then God reveals how the apostasy infiltrate the church in time in which the Roman Empire was being devastated by barbarian tribes from the north.
The mysterious little horn
The prophecy in Daniel 7 clearly reveals the conflict over worship and shows precisely how the Sabbath was changed. While Daniel in vision saw these ten horns, something surprising came: "As I considered the horns, I saw another little horn, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted to make way for him. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking arrogantly "(verse 8).
The Bible says this little horn arose and was different from the others. Who is this little horn that rises over the other ten? Let us try to find out some things the Bible says about this mysterious
little horn.
First, it appears among the top ten. If the ten horns are the divisions of Rome, the little horn necessarily arises in Western Europe. He does not come in Asia, Africa, North or South America. Its roots can be found on European soil.
Second, the Bible says that this little horn would arise after the ten horns. It does not appear in the time of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. Arises after the fall of the Roman Empire. It is a power that arises from Rome in the first centuries.
Third, the Bible also says that this little horn has eyes like a man. What does this mean? You know how a prophet is called in the Bible? In Scripture, the prophets are called "seers" because they see with the eyes of God. man's eyes do not represent the divine wisdom, but human. It is a religious system based on the teachings of men that would arise from Rome.
Note that the Bible says in verse 24 that this horn is different from all others. This is the fourth track to understand the little horn. All powers before it - Babylon Average- Persia, Greece and Rome - constituted political powers. This is different. This is not a political power in the first instance; It is a religious power, a religio-political power. What this can do? He would try to change the very law of God. Look at what the Bible says in verse 25: ". He will speak against the Most High, oppress his saints and try to change times and laws" Can you imagine a better way to say "against the most High" than through an attempt to change the law of God, especially the Sabbath? This power would attempt to change the very law of God. The text is not talking about changing tax laws or policies. When a nation succeeds another, almost always human laws are changed. But this little horn would speak against the Most High, assuming the prerogatives of God and trying to change the divine laws.
Note that the Bible does not say that he could change those laws; I could only try to change them. No earthly power, however powerful claims to be, has the authority to change the law of God. But this power think possess such authority.
Daniel's prophecy predicts that a great religious power would rise to
from the ancient Roman Empire. This power would be small at first, but become extremely powerful. He would claim to have authority to modify even the law of God. What happened? In an attempt to please the pagans who were entering the church in large numbers and to make Christianity more acceptable to the empire, the Roman power sought to change the law of God. The change from Saturday occurred gradually over a long time period. It resulted in a series of social and religious factors.
Dr. John Eadie helps us understand the roots of this change in your Bible encyclopedia. He says: "Sunday was the name given by the heathens
first day of the week because it was the day on which they worshiped the sun. "1 The Sun worship was common in Egypt, Babylon, Persia and Rome.
In the 4th century, the Roman Emperor Constantine was also influenced by the worship of the sun. He wanted to unite his empire. How could achieve
such a feat? Constantine issued a decree to promote one days
Common rest to the fullest extent of the empire. His clear intention was to promote unity between pagans and Christians in his kingdom.
The emperor's decree dated 321 A.D. He commands: "Let the judges and the people of the cities, as well as merchants, shall rest on the venerable day of the sun." Constantine called Sunday "the venerable day of the Sun". He said that the shops should be closed.
In the time of Constantine, the church and the state have teamed up in an attempt to Christianize the pagan and unite the empire. The Roman government and the Roman church came together. The following statement is fantastic, and was published in March 1894 by The Catholic World: "The sun was the most important god among pagans. [...] There is indeed something real in the sun that makes it a proper representation of Jesus, the Sun of Righteousness. Therefore, the church in these countries seems to have said: 'Let's keep the old pagan name. He must remain consecrated, sanctified. 'And thus, the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder, became the Christian Sunday, sacred to Jesus. "
You could see how it happened? He watched Sunday entered the church? Constantine wanted to unite his empire and the leaders of the Roman Church wanted to convert the heathen. Sunday became the means to achieve both. So the Bible Sabbath was changed by the Roman church and the state.
There is another issue at stake here. The Roman church wanted to distance themselves from Judaism. There was an anti-Semitic feeling in the Roman Empire. This contributed to the change of the Sabbath to Sunday as a day of worship.
The Council (Synod) of Laodicea, held around 363 or 364 (dates vary), records the first ban in the custody of the Bible Sabbath. Bishops gathered in Laodicea and decreed: "Christians must not Judaize" (ie, should not keep the Sabbath) "and remain idle during the Sabbath."
Through this decree, the church council was saying, "We are forbidding Christians to rest on the Sabbath. They must work on that day. "Since Sunday should be honored in a special way. If Christians were found "judaizing" (keeping the Sabbath) would be "excluded from Christ."
Here we find a church council that united with the Roman government to try to change the authority Saturday to Sunday. change
Saturday occurred gradually, as Christians distanced themselves from the Jews and that the church and state leaders joined hands to unite the empire.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PASSOVER ...
Christian Easter a great spiritual trap! For the true followers or disciples of the Messiah is important to remember that we should not follow the mistakes and the great desecration committed by the Roman Church when promoted changes in weather and laws (Daniel 7:25), the calendar we follow today is the Gregorian, promulgated by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.
>
> The Gregorian Calendar is a calendar that has its origins in Europe in the fifteenth century, promulgated by Pope Gregory XIII (1502-1585) on 24 February of the year 1582 to replace the Julian calendar, the oldest, established by the Roman leader Julius Caesar (100 BC-44 BC) in 46 BC, being used officially by most countries.
>
> For historical reasons, as well as convention and practicality the Gregorian calendar was adopted to mark the calendar year worldwide, making the relationship between the nations of the rest of the globe.
>
> ➡ The intentions seem good, but go against the CREATOR determinations.
>
> We can not forget that Easter (PESACH) is a Jewish festival that follows the Lunar calendar, given by the Creator.
>
> Here are some aspects that the Word tells us about Easter.
>
> Exodus: 12. 1. Now the Creator spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying:
>
> 2. This MONTH shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the FIRST MONTH of YEAR.
>
> 3. Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying:
>
> The tenth of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for each family.
>
> 8. And that night they shall eat the roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
>
> 14. And this day shall be unto you for MEMORIAL, and celebrate it here for the party CREATOR; throughout your generations the feast by PERPETUAL status.
>
> In Leviticus 23: 5
> Is set Easter is on the 14th of the first month, in the afternoon, the Jewish year, Nisan.
>
> Numbers: 9. 2. Let the children of Israel the Passover in its appointed season.
>
> 3. On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, his PARTICULAR TIME to celebrate; in all their STATUTES, and according to all his Ordinances to celebrate.
>
> ➡ As we can see in these passages that Easter is the correct way beyond the month, right day and time to be celebrated, the real Easter is not the Roman Easter that is inserted into a schedule that differs from the Jewish calendar, in addition to being celebrated wrong.
>
> This year, Easter, or Nisan, occurs in the setting of the sun day April 21!
>
> This date may be proven by any synagogue or Israeli world federation.
>
> ➡ We can also help speaking of evil symbolisms that are gaining ground at that time such as the Easter egg and the rabbit is a great insult and desecration of the true meaning of EASTER, the rabbit and the egg are cult symbolisms the goddesses of fertility, several ancient people celebrated this event worshiping false gods.
>
> The Babylonians people have celebrated the return of the "Goddess of Spring" holding a egg in his hand as he watched a rabbit (symbol of fertility), jumping happily around her feet.
>
> The Egg Ostera loads and Easter are ancient animistic symbols arrival of the northern spring in the northern hemisphere begins on March 21, and that brings the hope of a good harvest in the northern hemisphere.
>
> The Word tells us in the book of Hosea: 4. 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
>
> Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy Creator, I will also forget thy children.
>
> For lack of knowledge many are suffering, unfortunately seek religious system and forget what truly sets us free is the knowledge of the Word and practice, but few want to practice what determines the ETERNAL WORD.
>
> Matthew: 15.6. He says that "just because of your many TRADITIONS invalidate the ETERNAL WORD.
>
> Do not participate in the deceptions proposed by RELIGIONS.
To understand Revelation, one must first understand Daniel. The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation have a connection.
Let us return then to Daniel 7. There we can see the same images used in Revelation 13: lion, bear, leopard and dragon. In Daniel 7, there is a description of a power that would arise in the early centuries of the Christian era. He would unite the church and the state. This religious power usurp the authority of God. Would claim to have power to change the law of God. Let's find out who this power, where he came and what he did. Pesquisemos Bible prophecies that foretell about this power that try to change God's law. Let us open the pages of history and read their own statements claiming to have the authority to change the Sabbath of the Lord.
As you continue to read, you will understand, perhaps for the first time, the central issues in this conflict over worship and you will see why the Sabbath is so important to God. You also understand how Sunday entered the Christian church. It is a wonderful journey when we compare Bible prophecy with history. One night, the prophet Daniel had a dream. That dream is described in Daniel 7: 2 and 3: "In my vision at night I saw the four winds of heaven stirring the great sea. Four great beasts, different from one another, rose from the sea. "What these animals represent in Bible prophecy? "The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will arise on earth" (verse 17). "He gave me this explanation: 'The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth" (verse 23). These four beasts represent four kingdoms that would dominate the world.
In Daniel 7, these four great empires ruling over the world are presented or described as wildlife. In Daniel 2, the same empires are depicted as different amount of metals and strength. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, dreamed of a great image. This statue was head of gold, chest and arms of silver, bronze hips, legs of iron and feet of iron and clay. We do not need to guess the meaning of this giant statue consisting of four metals. Babylon, the first of these four kingdoms, was mentioned by name directly by Daniel (verses 37-40). He also appoints the empire dethrone Babylon, Medo-Persia (Daniel 5: 28-30). And the nation that overthrew the Medo-Persia was Greece (Daniel 8:20, 21). The four image metals represent four world powers: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome.
The image had feet of iron mixed with clay, representing a divided Europe, and a stone without hands, broke free and smashed the statue. This stone symbolizes Jesus, the Eternal Rock, one day destroy the kingdoms of this world and establish an everlasting kingdom. carefully analyze the chapter 7 of Daniel, to see how the animal figures represent these ancient nations. As these prophetic beasts pass through the timeline, we can observe the unfolding of history.
The first animal was like a lion with eagle's wings. Says the report: "The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched and at one point, its wings were plucked, and it was lifted from the ground, firmed up on two feet like a man and received the heart of man "(Daniel 7: 4). Babylon was in located in what is now Iraq, about 95 kilometers south of Baghdad. When archaeologists were conducting excavations in Iraq, they found the figure of a winged lion clearly carved on the walls of Babylon, which were made of bricks.
The lion with eagle's wings was a common symbol and name of Babylon. In fact, the prophet Jeremiah (4: 7), when talking about Babylon, says the following: "A lion got out of its den, a destroyer of nations has set the path."
Jeremiah says the destroyer of nations, Babylon, would go to Jerusalem to destroy it. The lion with eagle's wings was a common symbol of Babylon in the ancient world. At the time of Daniel, the kingdom was a gigantic power that ruled the world. Then another nation would rise. Babylon does not rule the world forever. "Then I saw a second animal that looked like a bear. He was raised by one of its sides, and in the mouth, between his teeth, had three ribs. I was told, 'Get up and eat how much meat can!' "(Daniel 7: 5).
Notice now that the second empire is like a bear that stands on one side. The Medo-Persia overthrew Babylon. The bear Medo-Persia, rising by one of its sides, is the Persians who first overthrew Babylon to then dominate the fears. What the bear has mouth? Three ribs. When Medo-Persia conquered the world, she won first Babylon, then toward the north, where he won Lydia and then to the south, which dominated Egypt.
Bible prophecy is extremely accurate. That's fantastic!
A third empire arises: "Then I saw another beast, which looked like a leopard. Back it had four wings like those of a bird.
This animal had four heads, and was given authority to rule "(verse 6). The Greeks defeated the Medes and Persians. Alexander the Great and his Greek army conquered the world quickly. If you wanted to describe a rapid conquest, what animal would you choose? Who moved well agile: the leopard. But if you wanted to talk about an extremely rapid conquest, even fast, which could make your leopard? Place wings on it! God put wings on this leopard to describe agile conquests of Alexander the Great. Why four heads? Note again the accuracy of Bible prophecy: Alexander the Great died very young, at age 36.
The four leopard heads represent the four generals of Alexander who divided the empire: Cassander, Ptolemy, Seleucus and Antigonus. The four generals of Alexander ruled exactly as the Bible foretold. The Scriptures describe a fourth empire: "In my vision at night also saw a fourth beast, terrifying, scary and very powerful. I had great iron teeth with which tore and devoured its victims, and trampled whatever was left. It was different from all the previous animals, and it had ten horns "(verse 7).
It is clear that this fourth beast is the Roman Empire. This period brings us to the time of Christ. It was a Roman decree brought Joseph to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. It was Pontius Pilate, a Roman, who judged Jesus. It was a Roman soldier who nailed Jesus on the cross. Rome ruled the world in the days of Christ. Christianity was born and raised in the Roman Empire. The Bible describes the collapse of that empire clearly through the symbol of the feet of the image and the fourth animal horns.
The image of Daniel 2 had feet of iron and clay, representing Europe divided. The fourth beast had ten horns. Rome was divided into ten major territories. The barbarian tribes swept through the empire, pillaged and took spoils, destroying villages and occupying cities. The Roman Empire was divided. The barbarian tribes the sectioned into small kingdoms. The Anglo-Saxons settled in England. The Franks, in the territory of France. The Germans, in the Germany region. And other northern tribes spread throughout the Empire, dividing the territory more or less the way we see today. These divisions represent the ten horns of the fourth beast.
Then God reveals how the apostasy infiltrate the church in time in which the Roman Empire was being devastated by barbarian tribes from the north.
The mysterious little horn
The prophecy in Daniel 7 clearly reveals the conflict over worship and shows precisely how the Sabbath was changed. While Daniel in vision saw these ten horns, something surprising came: "As I considered the horns, I saw another little horn, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted to make way for him. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking arrogantly "(verse 8).
The Bible says this little horn arose and was different from the others. Who is this little horn that rises over the other ten? Let us try to find out some things the Bible says about this mysterious
little horn.
First, it appears among the top ten. If the ten horns are the divisions of Rome, the little horn necessarily arises in Western Europe. He does not come in Asia, Africa, North or South America. Its roots can be found on European soil.
Second, the Bible says that this little horn would arise after the ten horns. It does not appear in the time of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. Arises after the fall of the Roman Empire. It is a power that arises from Rome in the first centuries.
Third, the Bible also says that this little horn has eyes like a man. What does this mean? You know how a prophet is called in the Bible? In Scripture, the prophets are called "seers" because they see with the eyes of God. man's eyes do not represent the divine wisdom, but human. It is a religious system based on the teachings of men that would arise from Rome.
Note that the Bible says in verse 24 that this horn is different from all others. This is the fourth track to understand the little horn. All powers before it - Babylon Average- Persia, Greece and Rome - constituted political powers. This is different. This is not a political power in the first instance; It is a religious power, a religio-political power. What this can do? He would try to change the very law of God. Look at what the Bible says in verse 25: ". He will speak against the Most High, oppress his saints and try to change times and laws" Can you imagine a better way to say "against the most High" than through an attempt to change the law of God, especially the Sabbath? This power would attempt to change the very law of God. The text is not talking about changing tax laws or policies. When a nation succeeds another, almost always human laws are changed. But this little horn would speak against the Most High, assuming the prerogatives of God and trying to change the divine laws.
Note that the Bible does not say that he could change those laws; I could only try to change them. No earthly power, however powerful claims to be, has the authority to change the law of God. But this power think possess such authority.
Daniel's prophecy predicts that a great religious power would rise to
from the ancient Roman Empire. This power would be small at first, but become extremely powerful. He would claim to have authority to modify even the law of God. What happened? In an attempt to please the pagans who were entering the church in large numbers and to make Christianity more acceptable to the empire, the Roman power sought to change the law of God. The change from Saturday occurred gradually over a long time period. It resulted in a series of social and religious factors.
Dr. John Eadie helps us understand the roots of this change in your Bible encyclopedia. He says: "Sunday was the name given by the heathens
first day of the week because it was the day on which they worshiped the sun. "1 The Sun worship was common in Egypt, Babylon, Persia and Rome.
In the 4th century, the Roman Emperor Constantine was also influenced by the worship of the sun. He wanted to unite his empire. How could achieve
such a feat? Constantine issued a decree to promote one days
Common rest to the fullest extent of the empire. His clear intention was to promote unity between pagans and Christians in his kingdom.
The emperor's decree dated 321 A.D. He commands: "Let the judges and the people of the cities, as well as merchants, shall rest on the venerable day of the sun." Constantine called Sunday "the venerable day of the Sun". He said that the shops should be closed.
In the time of Constantine, the church and the state have teamed up in an attempt to Christianize the pagan and unite the empire. The Roman government and the Roman church came together. The following statement is fantastic, and was published in March 1894 by The Catholic World: "The sun was the most important god among pagans. [...] There is indeed something real in the sun that makes it a proper representation of Jesus, the Sun of Righteousness. Therefore, the church in these countries seems to have said: 'Let's keep the old pagan name. He must remain consecrated, sanctified. 'And thus, the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder, became the Christian Sunday, sacred to Jesus. "
You could see how it happened? He watched Sunday entered the church? Constantine wanted to unite his empire and the leaders of the Roman Church wanted to convert the heathen. Sunday became the means to achieve both. So the Bible Sabbath was changed by the Roman church and the state.
There is another issue at stake here. The Roman church wanted to distance themselves from Judaism. There was an anti-Semitic feeling in the Roman Empire. This contributed to the change of the Sabbath to Sunday as a day of worship.
The Council (Synod) of Laodicea, held around 363 or 364 (dates vary), records the first ban in the custody of the Bible Sabbath. Bishops gathered in Laodicea and decreed: "Christians must not Judaize" (ie, should not keep the Sabbath) "and remain idle during the Sabbath."
