The Chanukiah as a Symbol of Christ's Conception |

What I am about to share with everyone is based on the findings of the late Messianic Rabbi Zola Levitt, who noted an amazing connection between human fetal development and the descending order of the Feasts of Israel beginning with Passover. After much study and prayer, our Father God Yahweh showed Zola the connection of conception to the spring Feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread in the spring, and the connection of human birth to the winter celebration of Chanukah. Here is a You Tube video that explores Zola’s findings:

Human Gestation and
the Feasts of the Lord -
Coincidence or Intelligent Design?
After watching the brief recap of Zola’s amazing discovery
on You Tube, go to the Zola Levitt TV Archive to watch Zola himself give this
amazing teaching in his own anointed words:
Levitt TV: “A Child is Born” (The Feasts and Child Development)
Applying this wonderful knowledge to my understanding of the
Feasts was interesting and edifying in and of itself. But one day, when I was
asked to show how the Jewish Feasts were tied to Yahshua’s Conception and
Birth, I made an even more fascinating discovery, which is that Yahshua’s gestational
period falls on the Jewish Feasts in REVERSE ORDER, as if every aspect of Yahshua’s
sinless life was always meant to reverse and replace the sinfulness of human
flesh with the perfect flesh of God Incarnate, the perfect flesh all believers
are promised as an inheritance via our Resurrection into the life to come! This
ties in perfectly with the idea of the Reversal of History reflected
in the nine branches of a Chanukiah Menorah. This is a revelation that God gave
to me back in 2007, and which was subsequently added to a later revision of my
book “The Language of God in Prophecy.”
As shown in the illustration that I made for that book
below, the four branches on the right side of the Menorah can depict the initial
fall from Grace and steady downward spiral of mankind from Creation to the time
of Yahshua, who is signified by the Servant Lamp. Meanwhile, the four branches
on the left side of the Chanukiah depict the reversal of sin and moving from
imperfection to perfection through Christ. This ascension of believers takes
them from Sheol or Hades - where unredeemed sinners go to await judgment - to
the Resurrection, then upward and beyond to the New Creation, which will
feature our earthly life to come in the New Jerusalem. This city built by
Yahweh God for all of His Children will come down out of Heaven to rest forever
after upon the New Earth (See Revelation, Chapter 21).
Fascinatingly, just as Yahshua’s conception is tied to the Feast of Chanukah or
the Festival of Lights, God’s Creation of the New Heaven and New Earth are also
tied to it:
My study of the connection between the Jewish Feast Days, human
gestation and Yahshua’s gestation also led me to synchronize the events of
Yahshua’s life, which fell on major Jewish Feast Days, with the developmental
stages in human gestation. Fascinatingly, through my current review of this
study to write this article, I just realized that the nine branches of the
Chanukiah can also depict the nine months between human conception and birth!
The chart I created below shows the amazing connection between human gestation
and the Jewish Feasts, and Yahshua’s gestation and the same Jewish Feasts in
reverse order.
When this chart is tied to my written research study of the
timing of, and Jewish Feasts surrounding Yahshua’s conception and birth, it
presents a fascinating picture of how Yahshua’s conception and human birth are spiritually
meant to coincide with the Jewish Feast of Chanukah Week, and how Yahshua’s
death and resurrection and the timing of human conception are spiritually tied
to Passover Week. In addition, according to my fetal chart below, Yahshua would have been born between Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets, and the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur, which is five days before the week-long Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles.
Due to Yahshua’s birth near to Sukkot, Messianic scholars like myself have long suspected that Yahshua’s manger may not have been in a barn, but that the manger was actually a Sukkah or booth in the yard of someone’s home in Bethlehem. This connection of Yahshua’s conception, birth, death, and Resurrection to the three week-long Feasts in Judaism suggests that this is what Yahshua meant when He said that no one would know the day or hour of His return. It’s possible that Yahshua will come back to catch away His Bride, the True Church, during one of these week-long Feasts! But the Bible does makes it clear that it’s going to be a surprise to many!

Yahshua’s
38th week of human life - Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah; fell on September
11th in 3 BC. Yahshua may have been born at this time. NOTE: Rosh Hashanah per God’s Calendar is the 1st day of the 1st month called Nissan, not the 1st day of the 7th month called Tishri.

Feast
of Chanukah, begins 25th of Kislev - 40th week; optimal time for human birth is from the 38th to 40th week - Yahshua conceived at Chanukah (See Right Side of Chart)
|
Day
of Atonement or Yom Kippur, (fell on Julian date of September 21st, 3 BC),
40th week - Yahshua’s approximate time of birth; entrance into human
history was from 38th to 40th week.

To see the reversal of history along with the reversal in
timing between human gestation and Yahshua’s Fetal development, first note Passover
Week. Zola wisely tied the conception and implantation of the corrupted flesh
of a human fetus to Passover, which saved the Israelites from physical death,
though their flesh remained corrupted. But the sinfulness of our flesh was
negated by, or healed over by Yahshua’s death and resurrection into everlasting
life during Passover Week! At that time, Yahshua was given a perfect body of
flesh and spirit that was physically different than the purely spiritual body
that He inhabited prior to His birth in Miriam’s womb. This prophetic quality
can also be seen by noting that, whereas the week of Chanukah is tied to human
birth in a body of corrupted, carnal flesh, this curse is negated by the
conception and implantation of Yahshua’s perfect flesh and Spirit in Miriam’s
womb during that same Feast!
Israel ,
in the centuries before the birth of Christ. At that time, the olive oil needed
for the Temple Menorah had been in short supply.
Nonetheless, during the week that it took for the Levite priests to procure
more oil, all seven lamps on the solid gold, seven-branched Temple lampstand
burned for a full week on only one day’s worth of oil!
According to what God showed me when I created the Chanukiah illustration for my Language of God Book Series, the spiritual conception of the Bride of Christ at the First Rapture is tied to the day of Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks, which is called Shavuot in Hebrew. Meanwhile, the Bride’s full birth or presentation to God after the Second Rapture at the Wedding of the Lamb in Heaven is tied to Chanukah or the Feast of Dedication.
The Feast of Chanukah is also known as the Festival
of Lights due to the Miracle of the Menorah, which legend states happened at
the time of the Second Temple’s re-dedication to God, shortly after Jerusalem was
liberated from foreign occupation. This happened early in the rule of the
Maccabean kings over
This supposition casts doubt on the idea that the Rapture of
the Bride of Yahshua is tied to the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah. Could it
be that the Feast of Trumpets is not meant to be seen as the Wedding Day, but
only a warning that the Bridegroom is near? Could the translation or birth of
the Bride of Christ at the Wedding of the Lamb be tied to Chanukah - just as
human birth is? It is an interesting possibility! Fascinatingly, my research
has also shown that there may be Two Rapture Events, with the First Rapture of
the Wise Virgins being tied to the beginning of the Great Tribulation, or the middle of the seven year Tribulation period.
In the article I linked to about the possibility of two Rapture events, I still think that the First Rapture is tied to the season of Pentecost or Shavuot, which is in the early summer (or technically, the late spring) and had to occur around then, I no longer believe it necessarily has to occur when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Remember that early summer in the Southern Hemisphere is in December, and the First Rapture could actually occur around then - near to the time of Chanukah. There is no doubt that the First Rapture is described in terms of summer, so it most likely will be when it is early to mid summer in at least one half of the world. For more information about the dating of the Tribulation with the Signs in the Heavens and the Jewish Feasts, and a comprehensive study of the unfolding of Bible Prophecy, see my book: “The Language of God in Prophecy,” which is available for purchase at my POEM web site, and at Amazon.com.

I pray that you will be deeply blessed by my writings, and will find spiritual value in studying my prophetic findings hidden within the fetal chart that I shared in this article.

As a Believer I don't like being skeptical of things like this, but some things stuck out at me.
ReplyDeleteChanukah is 8 months and 10 days after Passover, not 9.
The correlations for the Nisan Feasts are not based on how long into the pregnancy something happens but when on a Woman's monthly cycle she's likely to Conceive.
"The reason for my skepticism is that too many believers that are awaiting the Rapture are expecting Yahshua to return on just about any one of the Feasts, and the Bible makes it clear that it’s going to be a surprise!" I reject this basic Pre-Tirb supposition, it's a surprise only to The World, The Bible is equally clear we should not be taken by Surprise. I believe the 70th Week begins and end sin Nisan just as the first 69 did, and the Parusia occurs in Tishri in the middle of the Week.
I don't know how I missed replying to you back in 2014, but I am doing so now. I believe that just as I made some incorrect assumptions in 2014, you have made some incorrect assumptions also, and I would like to point you to my recent article expounding upon Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 Weeks, which shows that Yahshua fulfilled the first half of the 70th week during His First Advent, AND ONLY THE SECOND HALF OF THAT 70TH WEEK NEEDS TO BE FULFILLED IN THE FUTURE. Just as the Bible says, the Great Tribulation is only 3.5 years long.

sorry but the Church does not have to be here for the Tribulation need to see Isaiah 57:1 also read Revelation chapter 1&2 only one Church will go thru the Great Tribulation and the Church of Philadelphia will be taken out before the hour of trial. All so read Revelation 6:12-17. The Bride of Christ if we are the body of Christ here on earth. Why would we have to take on the wrath of the Lamb? This is bad Hermeneutics. But glad to see some one also using all 9 feast day to see what I have been seeing. As there are 3 harvest barley, wheat and grapes.
ReplyDeleteI never said the Church has to go through the Great Tribulation. But I believe we will be here to experience the first Five Tribulation Seal Judgments, and the Rapture will likely occur just before the Sixth Seal is opened. Because that is when God's Wrath begins to be poured out, and we as believers are not subject to God's Wrath, only Satan's Wrath.
