Hebrews 11 and the Rapture
HEBREWS 11 is PURE DOCTRINE
.
Excerpts from the “faith chapter” which tells of the faith and exploits of believers that have gone before us.
“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,…By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; …By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,…By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went…Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed,…” Hebrews 11:1-40
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac:…By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come,…By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph;…By faith Joseph,… gave commandment concerning his bones. By faith Moses,…forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible…By faith they passed through the Red Sea…By faith the walls of Jericho fell down,…By faith the harlot Rahab perished not … And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon,…Barak,…Samson,…Jephthae;…David,…Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,…Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens….Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:…others had trial of cruel mockings…scourgings,…and imprisonment…They were stoned, they were sawn asunder,…tempted,…slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;…they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth,…And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
WHY did they not receive the promise?
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. KJV
“Perfection” to a two part dogma. There is the perfecting of one’s faith in this life:
And then the perfection of the body:
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,” Heb 12:22-23 KJV
In the gospel of Mark10:29-31, Jesus promises eternal life in the world to come, however;
“…many that are first shall be last; and the last first.” KJV
This verse coincides with Hebrews 11, when those who went before us will wait for the end time saints, so that everyone will be made perfect at one time.
Meaning that, the resurrection will be a one-time event that occurs in the middle of the Tribulation.
THE TWO WITNESSES
The two witness appear at the beginning of the tribulation. They are sent here to decry the work of the anti-Crhist spirit on behalf of the saints of the Church of Laodicea.
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." Rev 11:3-10
[1260 days is one half the numbers of days in the lunar calendar]
The Witnesses Killed
“When they finish their testimony, they are killed….Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.”
The 3 ½ days are a metaphor for the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation.
“Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
When the loud voice from heaven says “Come up here,” all of the Saints, from all time, are brought up to heaven in a one time resurrection.
“In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.” Rev 11:11-13 NKJV
In Hebrew, the number seven refers to “completeness” and the “seven thousand people” referred to above is the total number of saints, who since before time began, were promised eternal life in the Kingdom of YHWH.
The number seven thousand meant the same thing when God told Elijah:
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 1 Kings 19:18 KJV
THE PHILADELPHIA BELIEVERS
As I pointed out in the book “The Second Exodus” the believers referred to as the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation, leaves this plane of existence at the start of the tribulation. They do not go to heaven, but rather they leave through a portal into an overlapping or intra-dimensional space.
“I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.”
[The Greek word being translated as “strength,” is NT:1411 (dunamis) and means force (literally or figuratively); specially, miraculous power (usually by implication, a miracle itself):
“Because thou (Philadelphia) hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” Rev 3:8-10 KJV
After Jesus addresses the Church at Philadelphia, he then turns to the Church at Laodicea, which has not been removed, but is still present in this plane of existence until the middle of the tribulation.
Revelation Chapter 20, is it scriptural?
Using the scriptures as a witness unto itself.
:
at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. Deut 19:15 KJV
(Jesus said) But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me. Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid. I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”…John 8:17
Any concept presented as doctrinal truth based on the scriptures, must itself be supported by other witnesses found in the scriptures that are relevant to the proposed concept. Proceeding under this premise, it is evident to me that the Millennial Rule is a false doctrine. Chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation is a complete insert without any basis in scripture. Revelation chapter 19 seamlessly flows into chapter 21 with a ring of truth, further explained below.
Ask yourself, why is it that the Millennial rule concept does not appear in the gospels or the epistles? That alone is enough to question the veracity of the doctrine. In truth, it is part of the oral tradition held by the elders of Israel that the Messiah would rule for a thousand years. Perhaps, since Jesus did not fulfill this tradition at his first appearing, the dominant or most powerful and influential faction of the post Temple period Messianic believers decided to insert it into the Book of Revelation. Why is this group’s view the dominant ecpression.? There was always a debate between the elders of Israel regarding the two messiahs presented in the scriptures, (1) The descendant of David, the Lion of Tribe of Judah, and (2) the Son of Joseph, who like the Patriarch Joseph saved his brothers who betrayed him. This is the Joseph referred to by Phillip, when he finds Nathaniel and says unto him;
“…We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” John 1:45 KJV
Phillip is not referring to Joseph the Carpenter or the supposed step father of Jesus because he was not written of in the law and the prophets. Phillip is comparing Jesus with the Patriarch Joseph, who has now come as the suffering servant of Isaiah 53. It is readily ascertainable by revealing in certain scriptures that indeed a group of messianic elders deliberately edited the New Testament writings in order to accentuated or establish the preeminence of a Davidic Messiah based on tradition. Although I did touch upon some of the false wrings inserted itnto the N.T. by this faction in my books, this topic can only be fully addressed in a separate study reserved for a later time.
Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Dan 2:43-45 KJV
And in the days of these (earthly) Kings, which refers to the last days, God will set up a kingdom, it will not be left to other people. In REV 19 John writes:
“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.”
After the beast and the false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire, then;
“…the rest (NT 3062) were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh. Rev 19:21 NKJV
(NT:3062 loipoy, meaning remaining ones)
Now, math was not my best subject, but it seems to me that everyone of the wicked are dead or otherwise removed from the earth, satisfying Daniel Chapter 2; “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom.”REV 20:3, would have us believe that somehow the nations reappear, so they can operate again as Kingdoms, only to be destroyed 1000 years later. This idea is in opposition to Daniel 2, in that “…the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” It is apparent to me by these verses repudiate any notion that man’s kingdoms reappear now that the Kingdom of YHWH has appeared.
REV 20:4-14 introduces the unsupported concepts of a millesimal rule, a first and second resurrection (which violates the teaching behind Hebrews Chapter 11), and a first and second death (which does not appear elsewhere in the scriptures). Finally, there is a white throne judgment where all of the dead are judged by God based on their works, in contradiction of Jesus’ teaching found in John 5:24
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” NKJV
My assessment is that Chapter 20 is unsupported by the rest of the scriptures. All of the wicked are destroyed by the end of Rev., Chapter 19, and the Kingdom or Reign of YHWH begins.
The names Yehoshua and Yahusha
Images are on a separate page below.
Yehoswshua, Yahusha.
OT:3091, Yehowshu`a (yeh-ho-shoo'-ah); from OT:3068 and OT:3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua),
This name is more accurately expressed as “Yaw-saved.”
This name is spelt (from right to left) Yawd, sheva, Hay, waw, choleem, shin, waw, shurake, ayin.
This name is derived from:
OT 3068, “Yehovah,” the Jewish national name of God. and OT:3467, yasha` (yaw-shah'); a primitive root; properly, to be open, wide or free: Notice that since this word is from a primitive (or ancient) root, it has maintained the correct “yaw” sound being made by the vowel “kawmates.” Since OT 3068 and 3091 are derivative words formed to express proper names, let us look back to their respective primitive root to find their correct articulation.
OT 3068 comes from: OT:1961, hayah (haw-yaw); a primitive root [compare OT:1933]; to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass:
Taken from - Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance, which notifies the reader to compare OT 3068 (Jehovah, the Lord) to OT:3050, which is:
OT:3050 Yahh (yaw); contraction for OT:3068, and meaning the same; Jah, the sacred name. As I covered in the video “You Have Not Denied My Name,” Yahh is not a contraction for the sacred name, but rather, the earliest known form of the sacred name, which evolved into YHWH. Therefore, if you take the correct vowels from haw-yaw and the proper name Yaw, and place them under the consonants used to spell the name Joshua, you arrive at Yaw-hoo-shua- a(c)h. This word is spelt (from right to left) Yawd, kawmates, hay. waw, shurake, shin, waw, shurake, ayin. The ayin at the end of shoo-a(c)h has a slight (or soft) guttural sound as in the Scottish word for lake, which is “Loch.” The shin, waw, shurake, and ayin, form the masculine active participle of “Yaw-shah” (OT 3467) which is shoo-a(c)h. The Hebrew scribes writing the Masoretic text did not take the “shah” as a particle from the verb Yaw-shah (OT 3467), to form the word Yah-hoo-sha. Instead, because of the presence of the sacred name “Yaw,” and for the purpose of defining a fundamental attribute of Yaw’s nature, namely, to be able to permanently sustain an action; the scribes use the present consecutive mood, in the same way they use it to spell the sacred name Yah-hoo-ah, the “hoo” being in the present consecutive expressing the indicative; Yaw who is, who is, and who is (the self existent one).
In the name Yawhooshua, The waw, with the vowel point kawmates literally means Yaw has saved, and saved, and saved. This sense of perpetuity is part of the Hebrew mindset when expressing Yahuah’s self existent nature. Our Greco-Roman mindset thinks of existence in lineal terms; such as the past, present, and future; in other words, God is he who was, is, and shall be. In contrast, the Hebrew mindset renders that same idea as Yahuah who was, shall be, who is. Because “he is,” he was and shall be evermore.

Who are the 144,000
The 144,000.
Count of Human Genes Is Put at 140,000, a Significant Increase
NY TIMES, 1999
A new calculation of the number of human genes puts the total far higher than previous estimates, meaning that the human organism is considerably more complex than hitherto expected.
The new estimate, by Incyte Pharmaceuticals of Palo Alto, Calif., sets the number of human genes at 140,000. Each gene specifies the manufacture of one or more proteins, the working parts of the body. As the programming instructions of the human cell, the genes provide all the information needed to develop, operate and maintain the human organism.
The new figure was announced on Monday night by Dr. Randy Scott, president and chief scientific officer of Incyte, at a conference in Miami held by the Institute for Genomic Research…. The number is a sharp upward revision and one that points up how much there is still to learn about human genetic programming.
{JVCI Press Release, 2006 - The Boards of Directors of the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), The Institute of Genomic Research (TIGR) and the J. Craig Venter Science Foundation (JCVSF) today announced the consolidation of these affiliated organizations into one organization, the J. Craig Venter Institute. J. Craig Venter is acknowledged, along with geneticist Francis Sellers Collins as being a primary force behind the Human Genome Project.]

Is there any doubt that YHWH was referring to DNA when he instructed the Hebrews to wear TziTzits?
Yahuah said to Moses, “Speak to the people of Israel, and tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a cord of blue on the tassel of each corner. And it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, to do them … and be holy to Yahuah.” (Numbers 15:37–40)
PLEASE NOTE - TEXTUS RECEPTUS AND MASORETIC SCRIPTURE CHECKED AT:
Institute for New Testament Textual Research - at the University of Münster, Westphalia, Germany, is to research the textual history of the New Testament and to reconstruct its Greek initial text on the basis of the entire manuscript tradition, the early translations and patristic citations; furthermore the preparation of an Editio Critica Maior based on the entire tradition of the New Testament in Greek manuscripts, early versions and New Testament quotations in ancient Christian literature. Under Kurt Aland's supervision, the INTF collected almost the entire material that was needed. The manuscript count in 1950 was 4250, in 1983, 5460, and in 2017 approximately 5800 manuscripts.
The words shown in parenthesis and in red ink, were left untranslated into English from the corresponding Greek word.

[The definite article “the” (#3588) is present in the Greek (to’), but was not translated into English. Instead, the indefinite article “a” was erroneously inserted to form the word “a lamb” instead of “the lamb.” The Savior is not one lamb among others, he is “the lamb” slain before the foundation of the world.]

[Amid is a variant of amidst, meaning “in the middle of,” or “surrounding” rendering this passage to mean, “the lamb standing in the middle of (or surrounded by) the 144,000. There is no modifier present in the sentence to identify exactly who or what the 144,000 is; whether they are men, women, or something else. Since the Book of Revelation is for the end times, there is no reason why we cannot interpret the 144,000 to be the genome that produces immortal life. This interpretation does not find its definition in the 144,000 alone; it begins in the Garden of Eden with the first sin, and the subsequent loss of immortality, and then ends with the immortal sinless man dying on the cross and reversing the curse of sin and death.]

[The six words shown in PARENTHESIS above were not translated into English yet they are very important to the context of the verse.The definite article “the” appears twice as “the name.” The reason for this is that Greeks employ the article before nouns, whereas English syntax abstains from its use before nouns when denoting things that pertain to him who is the subject of discourse (Thayer’s Greek Lexicon).
Greek word 3588 is translated as “together” eight times in the N.T.
Greek word:846 is the reflexive pronoun his (the third person).
Greek word 1125 means to engrave as well as to write. The Greek word used for “mark,” as in “mark of the beast is:5480 charagma (khar'-ag-mah); from the same as NT:5482; charax (khar'-ax); from charasso to sharpen to a point; akin to NT:1125.
Therefore, Part B of verse No. 1, THE ORIGINAL SHOWN DIRECTLY BELOW;
(the) name (his) (also) (the) (name) (together) Father's his written in their foreheads
SHOULD READ;
“having his name, also his Father’s name together written in their foreheads.”
This translation is important because it demonstrates that the Messiah’s name contains the four letters (YHWH) of the Father’s name. So to have the Messiah’s name written on your forehead, is to have the Father’s name also written on your forehead. [“I am come in my Father's name,” John 5:39 KJV]
THE FOREHEAD
The forehead is often used as a metaphor indicating identity and destiny. [See Exodus 28: 36-38, Ezekiel 9:4-6, Revelation 7:3] This is precisely the meaning given to the 144,000 genes having the Messiah’s name engraved on them. This engraving is a seal of ownership. This ownership can be seen in Rev 7 when the servants of God are sealed at the beginning of the tribulation, so that no harm may come to them.
CONTINUING IN REVELATION 14:

[“These,” meaning the 144,000, who “amid” (Greek word 3326) woman were not defiled. In the book “A Beautiful Delusion,” pages 112-114, I explained how during human reproduction, the germ cells remain isolated from the body cells If the baby is female a group of germ cells will become the 400 (or so) oocytes present in an adult woman. The germ cells do not come into contact with blood, and remain undefiled by the morto-genic (or death) factor found in blood. This is further explained in Dr. Michael West’s article found on page 114, where he states that “the cells that made us have no dead ancestors.” Why? Because the oocytes are immortal. The implication behind that statement is this, the same germs cells present in Adam’s wife, have been passed down thru the years right up until each woman alive today. Aside from the scientific evidence supporting this truth, this fact can also be deduced by YHWH’s statement in Genesis 3:15 below:
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;” KJV
YHWH told Adam’s wife that he would bring forth the Messiah from her seed. How then could that seed become defiled? It was not defiled, but rather, it remained as pure as virgins. This sentiment was captured in the Tyndale and Weymouth translations of the Textus Receptus shown below:
“They have kept themselves as pure as virgins, following the Lamb wherever he goes.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation Used by permission of Tyndale House Publishers. Rev 14:4
“…they are as pure as virgins.” Rev 14:4 Weymouth
The Textus Receptus Hebrew for Gen 3:15 (read from right to left).
ואיבה אשׁית בינך ובין האשׁה ובין זרעךובין זרעה הוא ישׁופך ראשׁ ואתה תשׁופנו עקב׃
Look at the different Hebrew words used to describe the serpent’s seed, and Eve’s seed
זרעה – “her seed,” referring to Adam’s wife, and spelt Zayin, Resh, Ayin, Hay; pronounced phonetically zaw-rah. The last letter in this word, “hay” indicates “life” (fruitful,
reproductive).
זרעך – “thy seed” referring to the serpent’s seed, spelt Zayin, Resh, Ayin, Kaf; pronounced
phonetically Zar-a-kaa. This word is related to OT:2145 zakar (zaw-kawr'); a male (of man or animals) who along with the female (OT:5347 neqebah (nek-ay-baw'); make up the species mankind (OT:120, without the definite article “ha”) referred to in Gen 1:26-27 and 3:22. Mankind is a different species from HaAdam. The Hebrew language present in these verses is irrefutable, Adam, the man (“ish”) along with the woman (his wife) “ishah,” were made from the primordial dust of the world (Proverbs 8), and not from the common dust of the terrestrial ground from which mankind was called forth.
"...they (THE 144,000) follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, "

They “follow the lamb” wherever he goes because they are inside of him, they make up his genome. They “were redeemed from among men” because, as stated in the book “A Beautiful Delusion,” the genome of mankind became mixed with that of Adam and his wife, producing mortality. This meant the immortal life genome had to be redeemed, or separated out and removed from the mixture of two different genomes. This was accomplished in the immortal body of the Messiah, which during gestation suppressed all mortal genes, and expressed only the genes that support immortal life, making them the first fruits of redemption.

It is spelled out in Genesis 1 &2, and readily ascertainable. Yahuah created mankind in his likeness, male and female, and he created the man and the woman to be exactly like Yahuahshuah. The Hebrew words for man and woman, are ish and ishah (respectively). Both words contain the Hebrew word “ash” which means fire, or more specifically, “spark of life.” The words for male and female do contain the “spark of life.”
Consider the following verses from Ephesians:
“For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, … so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. Eph 2:14-16 NKJV
It couldn’t be stated more plainly, he created a new sinless immortal man from the two species of mankind and The Adam.
Addendum to "2028. The Year of His Return?"
Addendum to “2028, the Year of His Return?”
In the book, “2028, The Year Of His Return,” (“2028”) I theorized that the tribulation would begin in April of 2025, based on certain scriptures and other relevant information. At the time I published this book, I didn’t include the information about the Essene calendar until I updated the book “Jesus, King of Judea” in 2021 and listed it as a footnote on page 2 (shown below).
The Essenes calculated the beginning of the end of the world to start on September 24, 2024, by subtracting the date the Israelites entered into the promised land (1406 B.C.), from 3,430; which is the number arrived at by multiplying 49 years times 70 Jubilees. (Leviticus 25:1). I believe that the Essenes, who did not have the Book of Revelation as a reference, correctly calculated the date for the Beginning of Sorrowsreferred to by Jesus in Matt 24:8, which precedes the beginning of the tribulation by a little more than six months. The start of the tribulation will be unmistakably marked by the disappearance of the Philadelphia believers, and the appearance of the two witnesses sent to decry the work of the anti-Christ, and to warn those believers who remain - NOT be deceived.
Is this date accurate? Both the Talmud and Edwin Thiele confirm the Exodus date and entry into the promise land (below):
“…the people of Israel counted 17 Jubilees from the time they entered the Land of Canaan until their exile at the destruction of the First Temple.1 If counting is measured back 17 cycles from Ezekiel's Jubilee (Ezekiel 40:1) that began in Tishri of 574 BC, based on Thiele's computation, the first year of the first cycle would have been 1406 BC. 2According to the religious calendar that started the year in Nisan, and in accordance with Joshua 5:10 that places the entry in the land in Nisan of 1406 BC (the month and year when counting started). But 1406 BC is the year of entry into the land that is traditionally derived by another method, namely taking Thiele's date of 931/930 BC for the start of the divided kingdom after Solomon's death, in conjunction with 1 Kings 6:1 (Solomon's fourth year was 480th year of Exodus-era), to derive the date of the Exodus in 1446 BC. The method of determining the date of the Exodus and entry into Canaan from the Jubilee cycles is independent of the method of deriving these dates from 1 Kings 6:1, yet the two methods agree.” 3

At the time I included the Essene calendar footnote, I did not have a second or third witness to support the authority of said calendar. Among Rabbinical scholars there are two ways of reconciling the matter; (1) the year 2024 marks the end of the 70th Jubilee when counting 49 years x 70; or (2) 2024 starts the beginning of the 70th Jubilee, ending in 50 years (or 2094).
Regarding the discrepancy, the Jewish Encyclopedia states:
“The biblical regulations concerning the Jubilee year appear in Leviticus 25. According to these regulations, the Jubilee was to be sounded once 49 years had been counted, raising an ambiguity over whether the Jubilee was within the 49th year, or followed it as an intercalation in the 7-year sabbatical cycles; scholars and classical rabbinical sources are divided on the question.”
The scriptures states:
“Yahuah then spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai saying… 'When you come into the land which I shall give you, then the land shall have a sabbath to Yahuah. … during the seventh year the land shall have a sabbath rest,...
So the entire seventh year is a sabbath rest. The 49th year begins a Jubilee.
And thou shalt number … seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then [at 49 years) shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. Lev 25:8-9 KJV
Then there is this:
You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you (Leviticus 25:1–4, 8–10, NASB).”
Author Lefebvre offers this critique of the discrepancy:
Another practical problem that would occur if the Jubilee cycle were 50 years is that, after the first cycle, the Jubilee and Sabbatical cycles would be out of phase unless the seventh Sabbatical cycle was stretched to eight years. But Scripture gives no instructions for making such an adjustment. Instead, it is assumed that the two cycles will always be in phase so that the shofar can be sounded in the seventh year of the seventh Sabbatical cycle. [Wilkipedia under “Jubilee,”]

Wikipedia Article:
Further arguments in favor of a concurrent sabbatical and Jubilee sabbath is offered by Thomas North, and supported by Lefebvre on scriptural grounds:
An example of the textual argument is given by North 4 in his comparison of Leviticus 23:15–16 with Leviticus 25:8–11. The first passage establishes the timing, in days, for the Festival of Weeks (Shavuot), while the second prescribes the timing, in years, for the Jubilee. In the first passage, the start of counting for the Festival of Weeks is said to be "the day after the Sabbath" Leviticus 23:15), and is to end "the day after the seventh Sabbath" (Leviticus 23:16). These seven weeks would constitute 49 days in most modern methods of reckoning. Nevertheless, verse 16 says that they are to be reckoned as 50 days. This method of reckoning (sometimes called "inclusive numbering") is fairly common in Scripture; for example, the Feast of Tabernacles is to last for seven days (Leviticus 23:34–36), but the last day is called the eighth day (v. 36). North found this comparison between Leviticus 23 (Feast of Weeks) and Leviticus 25 (Jubilees) to be "the strongest possible support for the forty-ninth year" as the Jubilee year. His conclusion that the Jubilee was identical with the seventh Sabbatical year was followed by Lefebvre, for this as well as additional reasons.

It appears to me that the concurrent sabbath model is supported by scripture, and by the Essene Calendar which calculates a Jubilee year to be the 49th year. Entry of the number “50” could simply be an error, or the result of a Pharisaical interpretation which is not uncommon as shown in the article below:
How Did Scribes and the Scribal Tradition Shape the Hebrew Bible? by Ian Werrett
Professor, Ph.D. in biblical studies and second temple Judaism, University of St. Andrews, Scotland
The fact that scribes, editors, and copyists were not wedded to “authenticity,” or to the idea that word-for-word accuracy maintained the sacredness of a text, is clear in the innumerable variations in the early source materials that eventually became known as “the Bible.” This explains why the Hebrew text of Gen 1:2 states that “God ceased on the seventh day,” while the Septuagint and other ancient versions (the Samaritan and the Peshitta) reflect a text that says, “God ceased on the sixth day.” Similarly, the Masoretic Text of Exod 1:5 states that 70 descendants of Jacob came down to Egypt, while the Septuagint, two Dead Sea Scroll fragments, and some other witnesses offer the number 75. In most versions of Isa 6:2, the word “holy” is found three times, but the great Isaiah Scroll from Qumran translates it only twice: “Holy, holy is the LORD of hosts.” A careful comparison of the biblical text’s ancient attestations shows such “small” variations in virtually every verse, indicating that copyists through the late Second Temple period did not view themselves as Xerox machines or believe that they must reproduce texts exactly and precisely. https://www.stmartin.edu/directory/faculty-staff-directory/ian-werrett-phd
I believe the Essene Calendar is reliable, and most likely sets the date for the beginning of sorrows that precedes the start of the tribulation.
Bereshyith and the Tent of Meeting
Bereshyith and the Tent of Meeting
Was the earth destroyed at some time previous to the flood? Not when considering the facts stated in this study. Certain creation events that occur in Genesis also happen to occur in chronological order in the assembly of the Tent of Meeting. However, before we look at the parallel meaning behind the events; a review of the first letter of the scriptures is in order. Shown below is Genesis Chapter 1 taken from the Sovereign Grace Interlinear Bible. The first thing to notice on the first line to the far right is the letter “bayt” which is shown larger than the rest of the text and receives a dagesh lene which doubles the letter, exemplified below in the Masoretic Text version.
PIC 1 - All pictures or illustrations are on a page below.
Sovereign Grace Interlinear Bible (enlarged):

PIC 3
Convert the Aramaic block Hebrew to the original ancient Hebrew letters:
PIC 4
The first question to answer is why does the sentence begin with two letters “B?” A typical rabbinical answer is that the double “B” is meant to harden the “B” sound of the word Bereshiyth. However, the word Bereshyith already receives a hard “B” sound with only one “B” present. The truth is, the creation story actually recounts a one-time event in great detail, that subsequently puts down any and all attempts to make it into something else. Let us suppose that the first and enlarged “B” stands for the Creator’s bayit (or house) located in infinity. Infinity is the place that has always existed, unlike the three dimensional world which has a point of origin. The best way I know of to represent this idea, is to use the tesseract, or fourth dimensional cube. Shown below is a three dimensional representation of fourth dimensional space.
PIC 5 PIC 6
The cube on the left represents infinity. In this place, according to a Hebrew oral tradition, the creator, alone, held all of the matter needed to create the three dimensional world in the palm of his hands, and it was the color of turquoise (Genesis Rabah Midrash). The Creator was and is first, especially in the order of things. There is no trinitarianism or binitarianism in Hebrew writings. This is the declaration being made in the Shema:
“Shema YawshurUl, adoni Ulhenuw, adoni echad.”
Hear O’ Israel, our master, the mighty one, our master is first.
The creator revealed this same fundamental principle to Isaiah in the form of a simple question:
“Is there a God besides me, a maker, whom I have not known?” Isa 44:8 Douay-Rheims
The phrase “whom I have not known,” is not merely intended to mean that no other maker has shown up; but rather, it is in the indicative mood and meant to assert a fact. This statement can easily mean that the creator searched infinity, whatever that involved, and found no other god. Thus, a true rendering of the Hebrew word Bereshyith would be, “First,” being derived from “re'shiyth; OT:7225, and meaning the first, in place, time, order or rank.
The second diagram (aboe-right) represents the three dimensional world formed outside of the infinity cube, from the matter held in the hands of the creator.
A door was opened in infinity that released the matter and energy used to create the three-dimensional world. The door is reflected in the letter “bayt” shown below.
PIC 7 PIC 8
(It is interesting to note that the letter bayit is in the shape of a typical Hebrew tent floorplan. Woman and children slept in the main chamber, while the man slept in the doorway to defend the family from animals. He was known as the “Houseband” from where we get the Nordic/Saxon word “husband.”)
Getting to the comparison between Gen 1 and Ex 40:
Gen 1:1 - First (In the beginning) God created Heavens and the (entity) earth
The corresponding Exodus verse:
EX 40:2A - On the firstday of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. Shown below is the two rooms of the Tent of Meeting.
PIC 9
Just as the Hebrew word for heaven is in the plural (heavens), so also the Tent of Meeting, which had the same floorplan as Solomon’s temple, has two rooms representing the heaven and the heaven of heavens.
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! 2 Chron 6:18 KJV
PIC 10
EX 40:2B - And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
The Ark of the Covenant situated in the heaven of heavens, represents the promise of immortal life. The first tablets given to Moses were made from a stone which was not cut by the hand of man, and the words were written by the finger of Yahuah. The two stones were three dimensional, written on the front and back, representing the original bodies of Adam and Eve which were broken to pieces in idolatry. The second set of stones, fashioned by the hand of man, were placed in the ark awaiting the promise of the Messiah and the resurrection. This is why the Messiah called his Father’s house a house of prayer. Prayers went up everyday calling for the coming of the Messiah.
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist”. Col 1:16-17 KJV
______________________________
It’s interesting to note, that all of the objects brought in to the tent, were made by the children of YawshurUl beforehand.
“…so the children of Israel made all the work.” Ex 39:42 KJV
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph 2:10 KJV
GEN 1:2 – “And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”
EX 40:3A - And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order.
Explanation: The Hebrew word for “without form” is “tohuw” (OT:8414); and simply means “to lie waste;” a desolation of surface) a desert. The Hebrew word for “void” is “bohuw” (OT 922), and it simply means to be empty The meaning of without form and void within the context of the first chapter of Genesis, simply means that the earth was void of life, which is why God created environments first and then creatures suited for each environment. This interpretation is in keeping with Proverbs chapter 8:22-31, whereby the Creator first brought water and dust into the newly formed three-dimensional world, he then commanded energy to exist in this world (Gen 1:3), without which he could not create life on earth. He drew a circle on the abyss that became a firmament separating the waters below the firmament from the waters above the firmament. He then gathered the waters below the firmament into one place and the dry land appeared. He then created all sorts of lifeforms including the sons of men. This interpretation agrees with Exodus 40:3A”
“…thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order (arak, OT:6186, a primitive root; to arrange, put in order) the things that are to be set in order (erek, OT:6187,from OT:6186; a pile) upon it;”
Certain objects were brought into the Tent at one time, piled on the table, and then set in their proper order. In the same manner the Creator used raw materials to set in order biomes, habitats, and lifeforms.
PIC 11
The earth did not have a civilization that existed prior to Adam and mankind, that was subsequently destroyed. Death and destruction are the punishment for sin, and there was no sin prior to the sin of Adam.
Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Rom 5:12 KJV
In addition to this, in order to support the “Gap” theory, or the theory of a pre-existent civilization before Adam, some individuals refer to Gen 1:28 and the word “replenish” as proof of this theory:
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.”
The verb “to fill,” which in the Hebrew is male' (maw-lay' or maw-law') [OT:4390] is being conjugated (phonetically) as “Uwmil’uw,” and translated as “replenish.”
In Gen 1:22, God blessed the animals saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.” In this instance, the same verb conjugation from Gen 1:28 is used (“Uwmil’uw”) but this time it is properly translated as fill instead of replenish.
Furthermore, the translation of the verb “to exist” (haw-yaw) OT 1961) as “had become” is in error. The Hebrew word “was,” spelt phonetically as “haayataah;” is the same word used in Gen 3:20 to express the fact that Eve was (haayataah) the mother of all living, and not that she had become the mother of all living.
The Gap Theory or Recreation Theory is not supported by scripture.
Continuing with the Comparison:
GEN 1:3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light, ..”
This verse when properly translated means “Exist Energy and energy existed.” God did not say ‘energy exist’ because he was not creating energy, He is energy. By exclaiming “Exist Energy!” the creator was bringing energy into the three dimensional world he was forming. The verse “Exist Energy and energy existed” is in the Hebrew present consecutive meaning it is an ongoing action that will not cease until another verb or the definite article is introduced into the context of the action, which is found in the next sentence, “And God saw the light and it was good…” The verb “saw” ends the consecutive action (in a real sense, putting on the breaks).In 2014, the Jet Propulsion lab at Cal Tech discovered what they called “tears” in the space time continuum, indicating that light once traveled exponentially faster than its current rate of 186,282 miles per second.. This makes perfect sense. If the Creator quickly (and exponentially) filled his three dimensional world with matter and energy to a certain point and then abruptly slowed the advance to 186,282 miles per second, the electrons in the outer orbit of different molecules would jump to the middle orbit and release their excess energy as light (photons).
And God saw the light and it was good…”
Compare Genesis 3:1 to:
EX 40:4B “…and thou shalt bring in the candlestick (menorah) and light the lamps thereof.”
PIC 12
Lastly:
Gen 1:4 – “…and God divided the light from the darkness.” KJV
Ex 40:5 - And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
Pic 13
The violet, blue, and purple hanging placed at the entrance to the tabernacle, separated the light from the darkness. The incense was placed before the veil in front of the ark, symbolizing the sweet smelling aroma of immortal life, in direct contrast to the stench of death. The Creator did not command that the incense be lit on fire. Who, besides a group of Pharisees, has ever leaned over a fire, taken a deep inhale of the smoke, and found it to be a sweat aroma? That is patently absurd.
Bereshyith, Translated
The Complutensian
The ‘Complutensian Polyglot Bible’ was the first multi-lingual Bible, with translations in Hebrew, Latin, Greek and Aramaic. It was a massive undertaking, which took 15 years to produce, beginning in 1502 and being completed in 1517. The work was the initiative of the Primate of Spain, confessor to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, Cardinal and Chief Inquisitor Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros (1436–1517) who also financed the project.
Below is a copy of Genesis 1:1, translated into Greek, Latin, from the Hebrew:
PIC 1
Greek
In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
ΕΝ APXH ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.
Latin
In the beginning created God heaven, and earth.
In princípio creávit Deus cælum et terram.
In Hebrew, the correct plain translation into English is as follows (reading from right to left):
PIC 2
Earth entity heavens alpha- GOD created First House
and (the) (the) Bet (plural He (The Father’s)
-Title)
Reading left to right:
First (Reshyith) created he (baw-raw), God (Ulheem), the alphabet (aleph-taw), heavens (shamayim) and the entity (wa-et) earth (eretz).
Let’s look at the sentence word by word:
Reshyith –
re'shiyth (ray-sheeth'); OT:7225, from the same as OT:7218; the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically, a firstfruit). Philo in his treatise On the Creation states, "In the beginning he created, is equivalent to 'first of all he created…'" (Genesis Rebah, Book I:27).
Bara –
The Hebrew word bara' (baw-raw'); OT:1254, is a primitive root; and means (absolutely) to create (notice the primitive root retains the ancient kawmates “aw” sound, before the Hebrews adopted the Aramaic “ah” sound after the Babylonian captivity. Bara is conjugated in the third person, “created he,” and is then modified by the word that follows, Ulheem.
Ulheem –
The original Title, in the plural, the Creator choose to express himself and his elect one (the word), who is represented by the Aleph-Taw. that follows. It is readily discernable. when tracking the evolution of Ulheem to the Aramaic version of Elohim, to see the truth of the matter.
'Elohiym (el-o-heem'); OT:430, is the plural of OT:433; and means gods in the ordinary sense;
OT:433, which is elowahh, derived from OT:410; and meaning a deity or the Deity.
OT:410, is 'el (ale); shortened from OT:352; and meaning strength; mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity).
OT:352 is 'ayil (ah'-yil); from the same as OT:193; properly, strength; hence, anything strong; specifically a chief (politically); also a ram (from his strength);
OT:193 'uwl (ool); from an unused root meaning to twist, i.e. (by implication) be strong; the body (as being rolled together); also powerful:
Uwl is the correct ancient Hebrew title for the Creator, that he chose for himself. Case in point; the ancient city of Bethel (10thCentury B.C.) was originally called Bethuwl. The “House of God.” The evolution of Beyth-' El can be found in Gesenius’ or Strong’s Concordance, where Beyth ‘El (bayth-ale'); OT:1008 is from OT:1004 and OT:410. 410 finds its root in OT 193, “uwl.” (shown above) The same goes for the name Saul (also 10thCentury B.C.) which is OT word 7586, Sha'uwl (shaw-ool'); passive participle of OT:7592; asked.of God. This word, like Beth’Uwl, was change to “EL” in honor of the Canaanite deity of the same name.
PIC 3
Virgin - bethuwlah, OT:1330, a virgin.
Look at the construct of the word virgin (shown below) :
PIC4
From right too left, the letters B and T, with the vowel point sheva and pronounced “Beth.” Next, the vertical line with a dot in the middle. That is the letter “waw,” possessing a shurake (u) vowel point for the word “Uwl” meaning, “The Almighty.” Followed by the vowel point “kawmates (aw) and the letter “hay,” which at the end of a word quiesces as “ah,” but when modified by the kawmates becomes “aaw.” This word literally means the virgin, or specifically the virgin’s womb, is the “house of the Almighty that gives life.”
The children of Israel worshipped EL the Chief Deity of the Canaanite Pantheon, naming the last month of their calendar ELUL.אֱלוּל which literally means EL-ALMIGHTY.
Pay close attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips. Exodus 23:13
The Aleph-Taw -
The two letters; aleph and taw, represent an abbreviated version of the Alphabet, in the same way an English speaking person might say they want everything, “from A-Z.” Since God created the three dimensional world with words, doesn’t that imply he created an alphabet first.
“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.” Ps 33:6 KJV
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, … Heb 11:3 KJV
The Aleph-taw also testifies to the presence of the elect one, the mashiyach, who was slain before the foundation of the world. Without the Alphabet, creation would not be possible.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, …. John 1:1-2 Textus Receptus (Stephanus 1550)
Shamayim -
Shamayim (shaw-mah'-yim); which is OT:8064, is from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve).
‘Eth –
Strong’s Concordance lists, 'eth; (OT:853) to be apparently contracted from OT:226 in the demonstrative sense of entity (a thing with distinct and independent existence); properly self. OT 226 is 'uwth (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc. Both definitions fit, in that the creator flooded the three dimensional world with water and primordial dust, and then separated the water from the duct making the earth appear. The earth stands as an entity in contrast to the heavens. While the water and the land became two biomes containing all sorts of life, they are both the same yet completely different. In the same way the earth stood out from the heavens.
Erets -
'erets (eh'-rets); OT:776 from an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth:
The two worlds, the Spirit realm and the Terrestrial Realm.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Heb 11:3 KJV
The amplified version of Gen 1:1
It is first necessary to find Hebrew words with the same root, that applies the same word meaning to the context of different selected verse(s). For example:
Bawrah, Bawkar and bawnah, to create, to give birth, to build a family, are all related in some degree. They begin with the Hebrew letter ב (bayt) which is in the form of a house; and have the multi-faceted purpose of referring to worlds, houses, and families, which is applicable to the creation narrative of Gen 1.
bara' (baw-raw'); OT:1254, a primitive root; (absolutely) to create;
bakar (baw-kar'); OT:1069 ,a primitive root; properly, to burst the womb, i.e. (causatively) bear or make early fruit (of woman or tree).
banah (baw-naw'); OT:1129, a primitive root; to build (literally and figuratively), to lay a foundation.
For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. Isa 45:18 KJV
First of all, bursting forth, to form a foundation, created he the ALMIGHTY and the word, heavens and the entity earth.
