Today we continued our study of the Seventh Commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery".
We are looking at Deuteronomy 24:5, as it pertains to End-time Bible Prophecy. It says: “When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.”
Of course, because He is without sin, Yah keeps His Own Torah. As we are finding in our study, Yah will be keeping this Statute in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and beyond...
End-time Events happen on Feast Days: So… The Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be on a Feast Day… And our Heavenly Bridegroom will not go to war until after the Wedding - and the "year" of joy with His people...
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb – The Last Great Day
The Hebrew Wedding is carried out, detail-by-detail, in the Marriage of the Lamb.
Revelation 19:7-9 “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him:
for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself
ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he
saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings
of God.”
Leviticus 11:6 - “And the hare (Arnebeth)… he is unclean unto
you...” Arnebo = “enemy”, “adversary”
Revelation
20:1-3 “And I saw an angel come down from Heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he
laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and
bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,
till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a
little season.”

The
wolf is used in these constellations as a Biblical symbol – wolves conquer
rabbits… Also, wolves portray the end of
violence – peace and safety.
·
Isaiah 65:25 “The
wolf (Ze’eb) and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat
straw like the bullock... They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy
Mountain, saith Yahweh.”
The two
wolves which guard/judge the rabbit are Ze’eb (representing Christ) and Shalem
(from Jerusalem, a reference to the Bride). During the Sheepfold time, aka
millennium, the Bride participates in the work of Judgment:
1 Corinthians
6:2-3 “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge
the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge
the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much
more things that pertain to this life?”
Isaiah 11:6-9 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb... and a
little child shall lead them... They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy Mountain:
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the
sea.”
Connecting the Millennium / Sheepfold with Jubilees:
2 Peter 3:8 -
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years
as one day.”
In terms of
the figurative “day”, man exists for 1 week:
So what happens in a Jubilee?
First
Jubilee Event: the Field is Returned to its original owner – the field is EARTH
· Leviticus 27:24 “In the year of the Jubilee the
field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the
possession of the land did belong.”
· Matthew 13:38 “The field is the world…”
The Jubilee
was “hallowed” and “holy”
· At Jubilee liberty was given to all
throughout the land.
· Families were reunited and lost
inheritance and possessions were restored.
· The land was to “rest” Leviticus 25:10-13
During the
Jubilee, the Land (Earth) Rests: It rests in desolation (emptiness)
· Leviticus 26:32-34 “And I will bring the land into
desolation… and your cities waste. Then
shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in
your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest;
because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.”
o
2 Chronicles 36:21 – tells us that when Judah was captive in Babylon for 70 years, that the
land of Israel was “keeping Sabbath” and was resting in “desolation”.
- Isaiah 24:1, 3, 19 "Behold, Yahweh maketh the
earth empty, and maketh it waste… The land shall be utterly emptied, and
utterly spoiled: for Yahweh hath spoken this word… The earth is utterly
broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved
exceedingly."
- Isaiah 14:3 “And it shall come to pass in the day that
Yahweh shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from
the hard bondage… Yahweh hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the
sceptre of the rulers… The whole
earth is at rest, and is quiet…”
- What day does Yahweh give His people rest from
sorrow, fear and hard bondage? – THE SECOND COMING
- What day does Yahweh break the rule of the
wicked? – THE SECOND COMING
- When is the whole earth at rest? THE SECOND
COMING!
- Revelation 20:3 “And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no
more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must
be loosed a little season.”
