This Prophetic Sign in the Sky Marked the Most Powerful Moment in History

RON ALLEN  CHARISMA NEWS
As the birth of Jesus had been announced by the light of the Star of Bethlehem, so the death of Jesus was announced by the darkness of Calvary. (Luke 23:44-45)
It is not likely that an atmospheric phenomenon caused the unusual darkness because of the astonishment expressed by observers. Further, the cause of the darkness at noon is stated to be cessation of the shinning of the sun, a celestial event. The most logical celestial cause to look for would be a solar eclipse. Indeed, the early Christian writer Africanus quotes two first century historians, Thallus and Phlegon, who both stated that an eclipse occurred during a full moon during the reign of Tiberius.
However, the darkness could not have been caused by an eclipse, because the sun and moon were on opposite sides of the sky during the full moon which marks the Passover and the crucifixion. A similar effect could have been caused by a large celestial body, like some recently discovered in the outer reaches of the solar system, or a stellar cloud, which could have passed between the earth and sun at that time. Alternatively the sun itself could have seemed to black out in a fashion similar to stars such as R-Corona Borealis, which suffer sudden catastrophic decreases in light emission caused by conditions in the stellar atmosphere. Thus, it is possible for the sun to have stopped shining for a time.
If the cause of the sudden solar darkness was celestial, one effect of the darkness would have been to bring the stars into visibility at noon. Off to the west, the Northern Cross would have stood upright on the horizon, aligning with the actual cross when viewed from Jerusalem. South of the Cross Delphinus (the dolphin) promised the resurrection, while to the North Cepheus the King stood directly over Draco the Dragon. Draco lay on the horizon, illustrating the fact that blood of Christ shed at the crucifixion ended Satan's access to heaven as humanity's accuser, and Satan was cast out of heaven down to Earth. (Rev. 12:12).
Directly overhead at noon was the eighth chapter of the Star Bible, Aries (the ram), which pictures the promised victory of the Lamb of God. The constellation shows the sacrifice of Christ, replacing the ram of Abraham sacrificed on the same hill of Zion 2084 years earlier, as confirmed by the star names El Nath (wounded) and Sheratan (bruised). But the slain Lamb of God is also the Lamb who will open the seals of the book of Revelation (Rev. 5:6-14) as we move toward the end of the age.
Christ's enemies at the end of the age are represented by the constellation Cetus (the sea monster) which pictures the same seven-headed beast we see in the book of Revelation (Rev. 13:1 and 17:3). Star names Mira (the rebel), Diphda (the overthrown) and Minkar (bound enemy) confirm the character and fate of Cetus. The one was overthrows and binds Cetus, Christ, is pictured in the constellation Perseus (the breaker), who is shown carrying the severed heads of His enemies in the star Algol (Evil Spirit).
The third constellation associated with Aries is Cassiopeia (the enthroned woman). This constellation reminds us that the nation of Israel, which had rejected Christ and is represented by Andromeda (the chained woman) in the church age, will be restored and lifted up when Christ returns (Isa. 60:1-2).
On April 19, the sun enters Ares, obscuring it in the light. However, you can find Perseus and Cassiopeia near the northwestern horizon in the early evening this week. Cassiopeia is especially easy to find because of its distinctive "W" configuration. Just before sunrise on Easter morning, the Northern Cross and the Resurrection Constellation Delphinus are almost directly overhead. To their south, Mars, representing the blood shed on the cross, comes when 1.3 degrees of Saturn, which promises the Triumph of Jesus.
The stars of the darkness at noon tell us that God keeps His promises, whether they be of grace or judgment. Encourage a friend tonight to move into the grace side of God's promises.

The Greatest of Israel's Leaders ✡ "She Named Him Moshe" - Israel365

When the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, who made him her son. She named him Moshe, explaining, “I drew him out of the water.”
Exodus 2:10 (The Israel Bible™)

יִגְדַּל הַיֶּלֶד וַתְּבִאֵהוּ לְבַת־פַּרְעֹה וַיְהִי־לָהּ לְבֵן וַתִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ מֹשֶׁה וַתֹּאמֶר כִּי מִן־הַמַּיִם מְשִׁיתִהוּ
Hear the verse in Hebrew

va-yig-DAL ha-YE-led va-t’-vi-AY-hu l’-vat par-OH vai-hee LAH l’-VAYN va-tik-RA sh’-MO mo-SHEH va-TO-mer KEE min ha-MA-yim m’-shee-TI-hu
 

Passover Wishes From Rabbi Tuly Weisz & Family

One of the central characters of the Passover store is Moshe (Moses). Moshe was the greatest of all of Israel's leaders. Although Moshe had an intimate relationship with Hashem (God), he is identified as the most humble person to ever live (Numbers 12:3). The name Moshe is a constant reminder of his modest origins. According to the Jewish Sages, Moshe actually had ten names, but out of appreciation to Pharaoh's daughter who saved him from the Nile River, he is referred to by the name she have him; Moshe which means 'I have drawn him from the water'. Tonight, Jews around the world will begin celebrating Passover with a celebratory meal known as a seder. At the seder, the exodus story will be re-told in remembrance of the miracles and wonders that Hashem performed for the Children of Israel as He redeemed them from slavery and delivered them into freedom. Warmest Passover greetings to all readers and supporters of Israel365!

The Coming “Greater Riches” Revival Israel's acceptance leads to "life from the dead" - Ron Cantor Messiah's Mandate


The Coming “Greater Riches” RevivalIsrael's acceptance leads to "life from the dead"

Ron Cantor —  March 30, 2018
A man gives an investor $5,000 and tells him to put it in a safe place where he can make a profit. The investor promptly goes to the horse races and randomly gambles away the $5,000. But somehow, no matter how hard he tries to lose it, he keeps doubling it! By the end of the day, he has $500,000.
This is precisely what happened when Israel rejected the gospel. Israel was called to be a light to the nations. However, despite receiving a massive Jerusalem revival (Acts 2:41, Acts 4:4, Acts 21:20), the leadership rejected the gospel. In the natural, this should have hurt the efforts to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. But, in fact, “to provoke [Israel] to jealousy, salvation has come to the nations.” (Romans 11:11)

Paul’s Argument

God gave Paul insight into His plan. Remember the investor—through doing the wrong thing, he made an amazing profit. That is what Israel did. By doing the wrong thing, revival came to the nations. Paul then argues, if Israel, by rejecting the gospel, caused a massive awakening in the nations, what happens when Israel fulfills her God-ordained plan of following the Messiah? In other words, if the investor, through disobedience made a profit, how much more profit will he make when he truly invests the funds? Paul tells us:
“But if [Israel’s] transgression means riches for the world, and [Israel’s] loss means riches for the nations, how much greater riches will [Israel’s] full inclusion bring! … For if [Israel’s] rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will [Israel’s] acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:12-15)

Six Million or Six Hundred Million

Charles Simeon, who was one of the founders of the London-based Church’s Ministry Among Jewish People in the early 1800s, once got into a theological discussion regarding what some felt was too much emphasis on Jewish evangelism. Simeon had seemed so carried away with the future of the Jews that a friend passed him a slip of paper with a question, “Six millions of Jews and six hundred millions of Gentiles—which is the most important?” Simeon had the answer already. He wrote back, “If the conversion of the six is to be life from the dead to the six hundred, what then?”
Simeon understood that the final revival—the “Greater Riches” revival or “Life from the Dead” awakening depended on Jewish acceptance of Jesus. It is the Jewish acceptance that will release the greater riches that Paul speaks of. And, of course, if greater riches are promised, we must ask ourselves, what are riches? If someone is going to give you something greater than x, you need to know what x is.

Greater Than What?

Paul tells us that riches are what were poured out on the nations in the first century: “if [Israel’s] transgression means riches for the world…” So whatever was coming, it was greater than the grace that Paul had when he spread Yeshua throughout the world—it will be greater than the book of Acts where we see:
  • the dead raised (Acts 20:10)
  • the sick healed (Acts 14:9)
  • miraculous escapes from prison (Acts 16:26)
  • the gospel preached in power (Acts 8:4-8)
  • and so much more!
I believe as we come to the end of the fullness of the nations, we are already seeing the beginning of this “Greater Riches” revival.  There seems to be an overlapping, as one season comes to an end and a new one begins. We are seeing the beginning of Jewish awakening and greater riches being poured out on China, India, Nepal (which now has the fastest growing church in the world!), Argentina and other places.
Why should the nations pray for Israel?
  1. Because through Israel, the gospel came to them. (Acts 1:8)
  2. Because of Israel’s unbelief, the gospel prospered amongst the nations. (Rom. 11:11)
  3. Israel’s acceptance will result in greater riches and life from the dead! (Rom. 11:12, 15)
Buckle your seatbelts!
