This Week in Prophecy: Yom Kippur 5786/5950/2025; Linen Garments; Brit Digital ID; Nigeria Persecution

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Fall Feasts with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 30, 2025 by paulthepoke

Leviticus 16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat and shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and he shall tie the linen sash around his waist, and wear the linen turban; these are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water and then put them on.

Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement is the busiest day of the year for the high priest.

These are the instructions for the high priest before enters the Holy Place in the Temple.

Exodus 28 gives instructions for the priestly garments. The clothing for the priest is to be made of linen. 

Exodus 28:5 They shall take the gold and the blue and the purple and the scarlet material and the fine linen. 

The concept is stated seven more times in Exodus 28. Priestly garments are of linen (Exodus 28:6, 8, 15, 39, 39, 42).

~

Currently, there is a high priest in the Heavenly Tabernacle. He is of the order of Melchizedek. 

Hebrews 6:20 …where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Before going to Heaven to be at the right hand of the Father, Christ the high priest was buried in linen. 

Matthew 27:59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth… (see also Mark 15:46, Luke 23:53).

The body referenced is Jesus after His death.

~

John 20:17 Jesus says to her, “Do not touch Me, for not yet have I ascended to the Father. Now go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”

After His death but before His ascension, Christ was clean and free of sin. He had become a sin offering at the cross. Jesus had overcome death or sin with His resurrection.

Christ is talking to Mary Magdalene. Because of her history, we know she was a sinful woman. Not to pick on Mary, as humans, we are all sinful. Jesus would have said the same thing to any of us if we were in Mary’s place.

Jesus’ resurrected body could not come in contact with sin before going to the Heavenly Tabernacle. Jesus entered Heaven free of sin in His glorified body. Christ presented Himself clean and pure before God the Father in the Heavenly Holy Place.

~

Revelation 13:16-17 And the second beast required all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Britain is tying economic activity to digital identification. In the name of security and illegal immigration of course…

2 Timothy 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted…

This Week in Prophecy: Love Grows Cold; Palestine State

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Culture, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , on September 24, 2025 by paulthepoke

Revelation 11:7-10 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified. For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

I have often wondered how humanity reached the point of celebration with the death of a fellow man in the verses above in Revelation 11. With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we have seen plenty of examples of people celebrating on social media. As of September 2025, we have arrived. People are gloating, celebrating, and gifting over the death of a man.

The verses above mark the halfway point of the 7 year tribulation. I hold to the position the seven year tribulation has not started. Sadly, Scripture says our world will grow colder from this point in time.

Jesus confirms this coming time with the Olivet Discourse.

Matthew 24:12 Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most/many will grow cold.

Joel 3:2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.

This week, England, Canada, and Australia announced their support of a Palestinian state.

Mark 3:23-26 So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand. And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

God’s Fall Appointments, 5786/5950/2025

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Fall Feasts, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 17, 2025 by paulthepoke

God’s Fall Appointments are the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. It’s that time of the year and the Feasts are approaching.

Below is a brief 10 minute video that provides a framework for God’s fall appointed holidays. The video is compliments of T.W. Tramm. Check out his writings and his work in the links below. Facebook continues to remove his articles regarding the rapture. T.W. is always thought provoking and backs his writing with Scriptural evidence. Tramm does his homework.

Numbers 29:1 ‘Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets.

See also Leviticus 23:23-25.

The beginning of the Jewish civil new year is upon us within the next week. This is the Hebrew month of Tishri. It will be the Hebrew year 5786 on a traditional and secular calendar. The date for Yom Teruah is calculated to be near sunset Monday, September 22nd. Some will confirm the new year with the sighting of the new moon. The new year begins when the new moon is confirmed by two witnesses. The traditional Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar.

As the Essenes mark time, the month of Tishri begins on Wednesday, September 17. The Essenes celebrate their New Year in the spring with the beginning of Nisan or Abib per Exodus 12:2. This calendar is a solar calendar.

Check out Ken Johnson’s Essene calendar work at https://dsscalendar.org/

Yom Teruah ends two days later.

The first fall holiday has many names. It is called the Feast of Trumpets by Christians. It is recognized as the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Some refer to it as the “Hidden Day” or the “Wedding of the Messiah”. In Judaism, it is called Yom Teruah which means the “Day of Blowing”.

The second fall holiday is the Day of Atonement. See Leviticus 16. Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement is celebrated on Tishri 10th. It is the last day of the 40 day period of Teshuvah or repent in the Hebrew. This holiday is viewed at the holiest day of Judaism. The day is a Sabbath day of rest. Yom Kippur is the only day a fast is required. The day begins at sun down. This is the busiest day of the year for the high priest with multiple animal sacrifices.

The beginning for the Day of Atonement in 2024 is calculated at sundown Wednesday, October 1st and ends the next day, Thursday evening, October 2nd. This date could be determined by the confirmation of the new moon 10 days earlier. The Essenes mark the date as Friday, September 26th through the next day.

Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement

Leviticus 23:33-36 Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD. On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work of any kind. For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the LORD; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work.’”

The third and last fall holiday on God’s calendar is Tabernacles. It is also called Sukkot, the Feast of Booths, the Festival of Tents, or the Feast of the Harvest because it was after the harvest in the fall. Simply put, it was also called “the Feast” or “the Festival”. This festival is a week-long festival from Tishri 15 to 21 on a Hebrew calendar.

On our western Gregorian calendar, in 2025, the Feast of Tabernacles will be observed from about Monday, October 6th to Monday, October 13th. Or, pending the new moon confirmed at the beginning of the Hebrew month of Tishri.

This year, the Essenes mark the beginning of Tabernacles on Wednesday, October 1st (which happens to be the day the secular calendar calculates the onset of Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement) and runs through Tuesday, October 7th. The last and Great Day occurs on Wednesday, October 8th.

Isaiah 12: Jesus and the Water of Life

~

There are seven God appointed holidays communicated through the Mosaic Law. The first four in the Spring were fulfilled to the day by Jesus Himself with His death, burial, resurrection, and the giving of the Holy Spirit. If the first four Spring holidays were fulfilled by Jesus on the God appointed holidays, why would the Fall holidays be any different?

Mark 13:32-33 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come…”

It is easy to see why the verse above is true with all the calendar confusion. The post has covered 4 different time keeping systems for marking God’s Appointments. Ultimately, the question is how does God mark time?

Jesus is coming again…

Are you ready???

Remembering Charlie Kirk; Hamas Leaderless; Terrorism; Wars & Rumors; Persecution; UAP’s

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Fake News???, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 10, 2025 by paulthepoke

2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Matthew 24:9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

Conservative Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a debate event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. The founder of Turning Point USA, known for his conservative Judeo-Christian views on politics and culture, died from injuries after being struck in the neck by a shooter from an estimated 200 yards away. The incident has ignited widespread outrage, with President Donald Trump and lawmakers from both parties condemning the violence and calling for investigations into campus security and political tensions. -Grok edited

Please consider prayer for Charlie and his family.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

The Hebrew word “hamas“. Per lexicons and dictionaries in the Hebrew, “hamas” means violence. The word is translated as violence, wrong, or malicious in the Bible.

Everyone wants the Hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end! The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -President Trump

Two days later…

Qatar and the international community are condemning Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel grows increasingly more isolated in the world. And we wonder how we get to a place where no one will stand up for Israel when Ezekiel 38-39 come calling.

Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’

Mark 13:7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. -Jesus

Israel is and has been fighting wars on multiple fronts: Hamas in Gaza, Houthis in Yemen, targeted strikes in the West Bank, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, Iranian proxies in Syria, and Iran.

Don’t forget Russia and Ukraine, Myanmar Civil War, Sudanese Civil War, Ethiopian Civil War, Nigerian Terrorist Insurgency, Burkina Faso Terrorist Insurgency, Syrian Civil War, Mali Terrorist Insurgency, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Conflict, Afghanistan-Pakistan Border Conflict, Cameroon Anglophone Crisis, Niger Terrorist Insurgency, Colombian Conflict, Haitian Civil War, Afghanistan Civil War, Iraq Civil War, Central African Republic Civil War, Mozambique Civil War, Chad Terrorist Insurgency, Libya Terrorist Insurgency, Ecuador Civil War, and Nepal. -Grok

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you. -LORD God Yahweh

Back in July 2025, French President Macron called for recognition of a Palestinian state.

Protests across France are scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, 2025. Macron’s government has collapsed.

Coincidence or Divine intervention???

The Bible has answers. ALL things were created by and for Him (Jesus). And because of His work on the cross and His resurrection, ALL things in the universe are under His subjection.

Colossians 1:16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Colossians 1:20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

~

Matthew 22:37-40 And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” -Jesus

This Week in Prophecy: Eternal Life; Pharmakeia; Free Speech; Blood Red Moon Over Israel

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Culture, Prophecy, Signs: Sun, Moon, Stars..., Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 7, 2025 by paulthepoke

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Only one way to eternal life boys…

These two have no regard for the lives of others. They determine who lives as they see it. China has a rich history of organ harvesting, allegedly. All they are thinking about are themselves.

By the way, you both are mortal. And you will meet your Maker.

~

Revelation 18:23 and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.

The focus is on the word “sorcery“. This is the Greek word φαρμακεία/pharmakeia. In English, this is where we get the word “pharmacy”. It is used 2 times in the New Testament. In both cases, many translators use the word “sorcery“.

φαρμακεία/pharmakeia can also be translated as: the use of drugs, potions, and enchantments; poisoning; the occult, witchcraft; the remedy, the cure.

One of the reasons Mystery Babylon is destroyed is because of φαρμακεία/pharmakeia.

The end result of φαρμακεία/pharmakeia… destruction.

Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

In light of these two verses, it makes one wonder about the spiritual state of the United Kingdom.

British comedian Graham Linehan was arrested upon arrival at Heathrow Airport.

Exodus 15:4 Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

The free flow of information via the internet was disrupted in the Red Sea.

Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.

It is the season of Teshuvah and a lunar eclipse or a blood red moon is coming to Israel tonight.

This particular total lunar eclipse will last from 17:30 GMT to 18:52 GMT, making it visible across a significant portion of the globe. People in Asia, including India and China, will experience the best viewing conditions for the total eclipse. The phenomenon will also be visible on the eastern edge of Africa and in western Australia.

For observers in Israel, the eclipse timeline unfolds as follows:

  • 6:28 p.m.: Partial eclipse begins (though the Moon rises at 6:51 p.m. in Israel)
  • 8:30 p.m. – 9:52 p.m.: Total eclipse phase, with the Moon appearing deep red
  • 9:12 p.m.: Eclipse reaches its peak
  • 11:55 p.m.: Eclipse concludes entirely

This Week in Prophecy: Shofar on Temple Mount; Turkey; Greta Again

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Temple, Teshuvah/Repent, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , on September 1, 2025 by paulthepoke

Joel 2:1-2 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like the dawn overspreading the mountains a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come.

The blowing of a shofar signaled many things in Biblical times. The shofar blast was a call to war and the prospect of danger. 

A shofar blast occurred this past week on the Temple Mount. See the link below.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=embed_video&v=790171380152613

This marks two years in a row a shofar has been blown on the Temple Mount. Last year on Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, a group of 6 Jews managed to blast all 100 tones required for the feast.

For the First Time Since the Second Temple: Shofar Sounded on Temple Mount; Silver Trumpet Sounded as Call to War

During the season of Teshuvah or repent, it is a custom to blow the shofar daily. The trumpet is blown every day except Shabbat or the Sabbath (Saturday for us in western culture) and the last day of month of Elul. The trumpet is blown after the morning service.

The blowing of the shofar started with Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. The blowing of the shofar is associated with God descending to Mount Sinai and the gathering of nation Israel. This is where Moses is called to ascend the mountain to meet God (Exodus 19:13-19). This is when and where Israel received the law.

The shofar was a way to call soldiers. The trumpet preceded the Ark of the Covenant. 

2 Samuel 6:15 So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

The trumpet blast signified the beginning of the month (Numbers 10:10). 

Psalm 81:3-4 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. 

Some form of a trumpet blast(s) is used at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). A trumpet blast also signals the beginning of Jubilee (Leviticus 25).

~

The Palestinian Authority has expressed their concern about the blowing of a shofar.

The P.A.’s Jerusalem Governorate warned in a statement that the Jewish tradition of sounding the shofar throughout the Hebrew month of Elul is “no longer a passing religious ritual, but has become one of the most dangerous tools of the occupation to impose its alleged sovereignty.”

The PA has called upon the United Nations to… “halt these attacks and provide international protection for Islamic and Christian holy sites”.

https://www.jns.org/pa-shofar-most-dangerous-tool-used-to-assert-sovereignty

“The blowing of the horn in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa is an extremely dangerous step. This ritual continues the religious ceremonies carried out by Jewish settlers and aims to change the current historical and legal status of Al-Aqsa.”
