Hosea’s Third Day Prophecy
In regards to Hosea’s third day prophecy: Hosea 6:1-3, “Come and let us return to Yahovah. For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has struck us, and He will bind us up. 2After two days He will bring us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him. 3Then we shall know, we who follow on to know (Aleph/Tav) YAHWEH. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.” I want to share with you what Yahovah showed me a few years ago, but first a comment on the calculations. 2015 – 30 = 1,985 years have passed since Yeshua’s resurrection and ascension. So if Yahovah gives Israel 15 more years, that’ll bring us to 2029/2030. The calculations are correct, but Yahovah doesn’t use a Gentile calendar. Think this through, according to Hosea 6:1-2, we’ll be resurrected on day 3, not on day 2, so we cannot be raptured/resurrected before 2029/2030. A day 2 resurrection/rapture would break Scripture and prophecy.
But, Genesis, Daniel and Revelation teach us that Yahovah uses a perfect prophetic calendar of 360-day years. 2,000 years of 360 days = 720,000 days. So, how does this work out on our Gregorian calendar? Modern computers and calendar programs sure have helped in tying down Scriptural events. You have probably heard of astronomers using Julian days to count all days back into the distant past. Well, I use a website www.abdicate.net that uses what they call Serial Day Numbers, or SDNs, to number all days back into the distant past.
Yeshua was crucified on Passover, Nisan 14, 30 AD, which was a Wednesday, April 3, 30 AD Gregorian (April 5, 30, Julian), serial day number 1732110. Exactly 3 days after being placed in the tomb, Yeshua was raised from the dead, at the end of Sabbath, right at sundown on April 6, 30 AD Gregorian, or April 8, Julian, SDN 1732113. That evening at Yeshua’s resurrection began the day of Feast of First Fruits, Sunday, April 7, 30 AD Gregorian, or April 9, Julian. Yeshua was resurrected on First Fruits, to fulfill prophecy (1 Corinthians 15:20, 23). So what? Well, on the First Fruits Sunday during Passover week (week of Unleavened Bread), the Hebrews begin their Omer count of 50 days unto the Feast of Shavuot, or Pentecost. The Jews celebrate Shavuot commemorating the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. We Hebraic roots believers in Messiah Yeshua, celebrate Pentecost as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the BIRTH DAY of the Church of Yeshua HaMashiach!! Well, 50 days from Yeshua’s resurrection on Sabbath, April 6, 30 AD Gregorian, brings us to Sunday, May 26, 30 AD Gregorian, or May 28, Julian, SDN 1732163. The Feast of Weeks, or Shavuot, is 7 Shabuas, or complete Sabbath weeks of 7 days each, then the next day, the 50th day, is ALWAYS on Sunday, the next day (a mini picture of the Jubilee cycle)!
So what? Well, add the 720,000 perfect prophetic TWO days to day 1732163 and you come to SDN 2452163. So what? Well, that day just happened to be Monday, September 10, 2001 AD!! The next day was September 11, 2001, the day that literally changed the history of the world, the Church, and biblical prophecy. WE ARE NOW IN THE 3RD DAY of Hosea, so the tribulation and rapture/resurrection can happen according to Yahovah’s perfect plan and on His calendar!!
When Yahovah showed me this, I was speechless. I could only cry and bless Him in my heart!
Hosea’s third day prophecy is also confirmed in the story of King Hezekiah’s sickness. 2 Kings 20:5, “Return, and you shall say to Hezekiah the leader of My people, So says Yahovah, the Divine One of your father David, I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you; you shall go up to the house of Yahovah the third day.”
