Cheshvan 17-27 (Oct 28th - Nov 7th) - The Ark of Intimacy & Being Shut in the Ark of God

Shalom, friends. My name is Chadwick Harvey. You have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we discover the intimacy of God and also being shut in the ark of God, as found in the story of Noah. We're going to look at the story of Noah's template and also have personal and prophetic applications to it. We enter into the actual date that the flood started, which is tonight at sundown, wherever you may be. That's when Heshvan 17, or the eighth month, the 17th day of the month, or the second month, the 17th day, however you want to look at it, that's when the flood started in Noah's story. So, there's a great correlation on the biblical calendar when we look at the story of Noah and those 10 days that he was shut into the ark for, or excuse me, the 40 days and 40 nights that he was shut into the ark for, and then obviously the year after that, 10 days after the full year, he was released on Heshvan 27.

Thank you very much for joining us tonight, my friends. It does begin and end with the biblical calendar, as we always go through. If one's not familiar with that, I'll show you really quick before we begin tonight's lesson. This is where we are, in the month of Heshvan. As you can see, it's the eighth month on the biblical calendar. We're going to go into how important that is as we look to understand these personal applications, these personal intimate moments that we can all have with the Most High. But we have to understand it from the biblical calendar. We must understand the times and the seasons that He is on, so that we can experience these personal intimate moments that some might not be able to because they don't know the biblical calendar date or the story that correlates to the date. So, it's important to understand where we are. I've gone through this on other videos during the Feast of Trumpets and also the feast days, the feast season.

I won't be too redundant on this, but we've been through this trajectory, my friends, from month number one, which is called Nisan today, all the way to month number seven, which is where the feast days are: the Fall Feast Days, the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles. And then we enter into the month of Heshvan. The month of Heshvan doesn't have any feast days. It doesn't have any fast days in it. So, it's a month that is really for growth. It's really a growth month. And this is where we find these beautiful 10 days that we can really get intimate with Yah: from Heshvan 17, which is when Noah entered the ark, to Heshvan 27. Now, of course, Noah stayed in the ark for one year and 10 days. But this personal understanding and application on the calendar, on the month of Heshvan, is very important. Like I said, there are no feast days, there are no fast days in it.

So, there's a very special anointing to it because it's a quiet month. This is where the roots start to grow in the ground, if you will, to prepare for the springtime. So, that's the same thing. And now we find this beautiful date of Heshvan 17, which is when Noah entered the ark, and he was shut in by God. So, God is the one who shut Noah in, and there's a great understanding through this, a personal application through this. We went through it last year as well, and there's a beautiful correlation to these 10 days of being intimate with Him during this intimate month of Heshvan that's very quiet, if you will. Again, no feast days, no fast days. It's a quiet month. It's reserved for the Messiah, is what they say. This will be the first month that the Messiah Yeshua will rule for the entire month on the ground when He returns for the second coming events, from the month of Tishrei. So, it's an important month, even though it's a quiet month, and we find this beautiful understanding with Noah in this.

But it does start, my friends, with understanding the calendar. Because most people would look at tomorrow as October 28th, okay? And that's it. They don't understand the biblical calendar or the biblical date or the application of why tomorrow, October 28th, is not just October 28th according to God. It's according to the day that He shut Noah in the ark: Heshvan 17. So, we'll go through the story really quick, the template, and we'll also look at the personal applications that we can all get from this, as it is an invitation for every one of us, every single year, to get into His ark for all of the things that we pray for: for opening up spiritual gifts, for revelation, intimacy, and all of these things that we pray for. So, we're going to talk about these 10 days, but it also kind of relates to the 10 days of awe as well, from the Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur. If one's not familiar with that, there are 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets, when Yeshua is going to return, to the Feast of Atonement, or Yom Kippur.

There are 10 days. So, when He returns, it'll be 6,000 years plus 10 days before He delivers Israel. Those 10 days of awe. Well, that's the same thing with Noah. Noah went one year and then an extra 10 days. So, those 10 extra days in the story of Noah, and also the story of the Son of Man, it does go back into what Yeshua was trying to say: "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." And that means every single understanding of that, whether it parallels that or whether it's identical, we have to understand that. And these 10 days will not be identical to the 10 days of awe. The story of Noah has 10 extra days from the year calendar, and then Yeshua will have 10 extra days from the 6,000 years or the six days. So, with that being said, my friends, let's look at some of this information to see what kind of revelation that we can get and also the intimacy that we can get during these next 10 days on the biblical calendar.

And again, that's why it's important to understand the calendar, because if we do, then we're going to understand how important these 10 days are that we're about to go through with Noah. So, the Ark of Intimacy. This is what I call it. This is just my personal understanding from Heshvan 17 to Heshvan 27, those 10 days. Noah was in the ark for one year and 10 days. But on the calendar, it's just 10 days that we're looking at between when he entered and then when he exited. So, these 10 days of intimacy, the Ark of Intimacy, this is 10 days of drawing near to Yahweh, remembering Noah, preparing our hearts, and also entering His presence. The primary scriptures you see listed there as a reference point for whoever wants to go back and read those in your private time. But just as we discovered, God's calendar is really where it all starts: the biblical calendar of understanding His days. We have to understand these to get true understanding of this.

Because in Genesis 1:14, "Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons and for days and years.'" We've gone through this many times before, my friends. We're not going to be too redundant for everyone who does know these things. But if one does not, it's very important to go to Genesis 1:14 to understand that God does have a calendar marked by the sun, the moon, and the stars, just like He says here, to divide the day from the night. And He said to let them be for signs and seasons and for days and years. So, He created His calendar in Genesis 1:14 for signs and seasons and for days and years. What are signs? Signs are blood moons, lunar eclipses, solar eclipses, all of these things that we see in the galaxy. And then the word for "seasons" is really not talking about fall, summer, winter, or spring.

It's talking about divine appointment. So, the word for "seasons" is translated as "mo'edim." It's called "mo'ed," "mo'edim," the appointed times of the Father for Yeshua, Jesus, to fulfill. So, this is amazing to understand that. So, this establishes an important foundation that God created the heavenly lights to mark time, and scripture repeatedly associates days and seasons with significant events, including Yeshua, Jesus' first coming and second coming events. So, my friend, the time is this calendar, and the seasons are the feast days in Leviticus 23. That's what He is correlating with Genesis 1:14 and also with Leviticus 23: the times and the seasons of the Most High God. And it's very important for us to understand that when we look at these things. So, Leviticus 23, those are the appointed seasons and times that I pointed to before. Again, I'm not trying to be too redundant tonight.

Most of you guys know these things, and that is the time that He is speaking of. And then when He talks about days and years, well, He's talking about His feast days. He's talking about the Sabbath, Passover, Yom Kippur, First Fruits. Those are the days that He's speaking of. And then the years that He's speaking of is the Shmita year, this seven-year cycle in Leviticus 25, also the Jubilee year in Leviticus 25. It's all biblical, my friends, that we have to go to God's, to the Torah, to the first five books of the Bible, to understand what He's speaking through, so that we can understand that God does have a calendar. He does have times and seasons, or special days, celebrations, feast days that He wants us to be a part of. And then we can understand the arrival of the first coming and the second coming events through Yeshua the Messiah. It's really an amazing thing when we look at it.

So, it's important to understand how God works on His calendar and His days, which we go through. And again, if one's new to this, I've done videos in more depth than what I'm talking about on the Feast of Trumpets video this past year, about a month ago. So, you can check that out for a deeper understanding of it. But we have to realize how the calendar, the time, and the seasons work, because Paul did warn us that we would be caught as a thief in the night if we did not understand those in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5. So, it's very important to understand how the calendar works. This is not an appointed time. Noah's Heshvan 17 is not a divine appointment. I'm just proving to you how important the calendar is with times and seasons and with the rhythm and with the flow of what God is doing. He does flow through His calendar. So, I'm just showing you that this is not an appointed time. This is not a feast day.

I'm just showing you how important the calendar and the feast days are. And then once we understand this, we can understand these seasons of Noah, or the counting of the Omer, or Hanukkah, or all of these unique festivals that most of us were not brought up on, but God does honor them still today, and He expects us to honor them as well. So, super important to understand it from that trajectory. God is not disconnected from time. He created it. He established its rhythms and revealed important events within it. However, it is important to distinguish between days God explicitly commands His people to observe and the historical date scripture records for remembrance and reflection. So, these are the days that He commands us to observe. Don't forget the Sabbath, right here. So, these are the days that He commands us to observe. But He does not command us to observe Heshvan 17, the day that the flood started.

So, Heshvan 17 is not a commanded feast day, but it is important to understand that it is one of the most consequential and pivotal days in biblical history. Why do I say that? When we look at the story of Noah, we all know how important Noah was to God. I mean, he lived on this earth for 950 years, almost a sixth of the existence of the world. So, again, we know we're only going to be here for 6,000 years. Well, Noah lived almost a sixth of it. So, I think we can all agree how important Noah was to the world. He repopulated the world. God chose Noah and no one else because he was a man of righteousness. So, again, I think we can all agree how important this date is just because of Noah, of how beautiful Noah is and how righteous he was, a preacher of righteousness. He was only one of eight that was saved. The rest of the world died. So, I think we can all agree how important Heshvan 17 is.

You can even go back to Heshvan 10. Heshvan 10 days ago, you can read and get that knowledge out of the Bible. It doesn't say Heshvan 10, but seven days before that, they were going to enter into the ark. Methuselah died on Heshvan 10. They did the seven-day memorial for him, and then boom, they entered into the ark on Heshvan 17, and the flood started then. So, again, it's not a commanded feast day, but again, if we look at the importance of Noah and the importance that God put on this man's life, then we can understand that this day, and Heshvan 27, and all the other dates that go along on the timeline of Noah that we'll go through, are very important to acknowledge and also to get any kind of personal application we can from that. So, now let's talk about the second month and the eighth month. This is where some people do get confused. In Exodus 12:1-2, Moses was told by God that "this will be the beginning of your months.

It shall be the first month of the year to you." And the calendar that He had set was this. So, when Noah, excuse me, when Moses was on the earth, God told him, "This is your calendar that you go by. Nisan is what they call it today, will be the first month." Well, Noah was not on this calendar because Noah lived before Moses. So, again, how could he be on the calendar? He lived before Moses, a long, long time before, a couple thousand years before Moses did. So, again, Noah was on, just like the whole world was on, excuse me, Noah was on, just like the whole world was on one calendar. They were on the same months, if you will, but they were just reordered differently. So, instead of the first month being Nisan, the first month is Tishrei, down at the bottom of the calendar. So, I'm just calling them by today's names. But the first month of Moses was Nisan. The first month of Adam and Noah was Tishrei.

Adam was born on Tishrei 1, the Feast of Trumpets. Noah was born on the Feast of Trumpets. When you read the story of Noah in Genesis 6-9, Noah was even born on the Feast of Trumpets. So, again, Noah, Adam, Enoch, they were all on one calendar, and it was not the calendar the way that they work today with the months. Because He reordered the months. So, again, same months, if you will, but Tishrei, the first month of Adam and Noah. Moses, the first month is Nisan. He just reordered the months for the believers, for the religious calendar, because the world, the civil calendar is this, the world calendar, and then the biblical calendar is this. So, it's just a reordering of the months. And that's how people get confused, because whenever they read the story of Noah when it says "the second month, the 17th day," they think it's Iyar, because they don't have the knowledge of separating when Moses was born and when Noah was born and what calendar each one would have been on at that time.

So, again, we've got to understand it. So, when it says "the second month, the 17th day of the month," it's talking about Heshvan 17, because again, Moses was not born yet to get the revelation of Exodus 12:1-2. So, I hope that makes sense as we go through this next section we're about to go through. So, again, following the Exodus calendar, Nisan is the first month when God told Moses to reorder the calendar. However, in the traditional Hebrew Jewish civil calendar, the year begins with the Feast of Trumpets with Tishrei 1, which is when Adam was born and also when Noah was born as well. So, here's another understanding of it from a different point of view. So, the Exodus numbering that God told Moses: Nisan's the first month, Iyar's the second month, Tishrei's the seventh, and Heshvan's the eighth. Now, Adam and Noah's calendar would have been: Nisan would have been the seventh month, Iyar the eighth month, Tishrei the first month, and Heshvan the second month.

So, that's just how it historically would have been understood. This distinction matters because Genesis 7:11 identifies the flood's beginning as the 17th day of the second month. That's why we have to understand which calendar to go by, depending on the story, because of the way the calendars worked with history. Genesis itself does not explicitly identify that month as Heshvan. We just have to understand it from a historical point of view of when each individual was born in, and the calendar, and Moses. In Genesis 6:9, Noah did walk with God, as we all know. He was a just man, a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. So, there's a very important understanding: Noah walked with God. And we're going to see what He does with Noah during Heshvan 17. Before Noah entered the ark, he was already walking with God, just like we are all right now as well. That means intimacy preceded the flood.

Intimacy preceded the judgment, and intimacy preceded his entrance into the ark. In Hebrews 11:7, "Noah moved with godly fear." Hebrews explains that Noah acted in faith concerning things not yet seen. I mean, he built the ark. He warned the people for 120 years and built the ark. So, he was preparing for the opportunity. His faith met that opportunity, and he was delivered, and everybody else drowned in the world. This is a powerful New Testament witness to Genesis 6 and 7. Noah obeyed before he could see the fulfillment of what God had warned him about. Very important. Noah obeyed. Abraham obeyed. They had to obey the ways of God, or they would not have been given the victories that Noah and Abraham were, or the promises of the covenants. So, this application is straightforward: faithful obedience does not require us to see the entire journey beforehand. Heshvan 17 is the day that the flood began.

So, wherever you may be at sundown, this is where we are on Heshvan 17 on the biblical calendar. In Genesis 7:11-16, this is where the teaching begins to become very personal for each and every one of us. "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, Heshvan 17, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." Notice the precision and detail. The scripture records Noah's age, the month, the day of the month, the opening of the fountains of the deep, and the opening of the windows of heaven. So, why does the Bible record and why did it preserve these details? The narrative allows us to follow the progression of the flood and recognize the timing of judgment, the preservation, the waiting, and also the restoration. The date was important enough to be recorded, and that's why it was recorded.

It is therefore worth understanding and also applying to our personal lives as well. In Genesis 7:16, this is the central verse. "So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him, and the Lord shut him in." So, Noah built the ark, but God was the one who shut Noah in. Consider the distinction. Noah was responsible for obedience. Noah was responsible for preparation. Noah was responsible for entering. But God Himself secured Noah and His family and the animals in the ark. It says, "And the Lord shut him in." There's something deeply personal in that statement. Noah's obedience brought him to that appointed place, and God's action secured him there. I'll say it again: Noah's obedience brought him to the appointed place, and God's action, because of Noah's obedience, secured him there. So, here's the invitation for all of us in the next 10 days: make a conscious decision to enter a deeper place of fellowship with the Creator of the universe who saved Noah from the flood.

Not because Heshvan 17-27 is a commanded observance, not because something catastrophic or prophetic must happen, but because the biblical account offers a meaningful opportunity to remember Noah's obedience and examine our own relationship with the Father. And on the biblical calendar and template, it provides an intimate opportunity for us to be shut in the door for an intimate 10-day experience with Yahweh. So, now let's look at the prophetic connection, as in the days of Noah. Matthew 24:37-39, Yeshua specifically connects the days of Noah with the coming of the days of the Son of Man. He describes people eating, drinking, marrying, and continuing their ordinary activities until the flood came. This is an important distinction. The problem wasn't that people were eating or marrying. The problem was that they continued doing all these activities without recognizing the seriousness of what was approaching in their time.

And that's what we're seeing today as well. In Matthew 24:39, and this is what Yeshua says about the end of the age compared to Noah's day: "And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away. And so also will be the coming of the Son of Man." So, Yeshua presents Noah's generation as a warning about spiritual unpreparedness. In Matthew 24:42, "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming." So, here's the message: knowing the biblical calendar should inspire watchfulness, not produce false certainty about future events. We can recognize patterns, study prophetic passages, and understand historical dates without claiming that judgment must occur or redemption must occur on a particular anniversary. The goal is to become spiritually prepared and intimate with Yahweh, and then see what happens. And that brings us directly to Matthew 25, the ark and the 10 virgins.

There's a direct correlation between Noah and his generation and what Yeshua said in Matthew 25 for the end of the age generation as well. It's going to be the same exact thing as in the days of Noah. If you look at the comparison between the two, you have Noah's ark: Noah prepared in obedience. The 10 virgins: five of them, the wise ones, were prepared with their lamps and their oil for their lamps to produce the fire. The ones who did not have oil for their lamps, they remained in darkness. Even though they're believers, they were both white, they were both virgins. The wise virgins are in darkness because they don't have any oil to light their lamps. So, without any light, there's darkness. Without any oil, there's no light as well. In Noah's ark, a decisive moment arrived. In the 10 virgins account, the bridegroom arrived. In Noah's template, Noah entered the ark. The wise virgins entered the wedding.

The Lord shut Noah in in Noah's ark, and the door was shut after the wise virgins entered. Those outside faced judgment in Noah's account. And then those who were unprepared were excluded and faced judgment, the five foolish virgins as well. So, one important point to make is that we should also recognize an important difference: Genesis explicitly says God shut Noah in, while Matthew 25 simply states the door was shut. The parallels are thematic rather than an assertion that every detail has the same prophetic meaning. In Matthew 25:10, "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready, the wise virgins went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut." Notice the sequence: preparation, arrival, entrance, and shut door. And if we compare that to Genesis 7: obedience, entrance, shut door, and the flood. Well, what's amazing when you look at the Son of Man, we all know what that's going to be.

That's going to be the tabernacle of God that we enter into for the 10 days of awe. And I'm going to explain that here as we go forward. So, this is a compelling biblical pattern. What does it mean to be spiritually prepared? It means more than knowing prophetic timelines. It means knowing the One who is coming. The wise virgins were ready when the bridegroom arrived. The foolish were not. And in Matthew 25:12, the bridegroom's response to the foolish virgins emphasizes the seriousness of being known by Him, because He told them that He did not know them. So, this brings us to the central purpose of the teaching: the calendar can help us remember God's works, but intimacy with Him is the heart of spiritual readiness. So, again, the calendar can help us with a lot of things: accountability and remembering God's works and the scriptures and how they correlate to it, which is very important.

But intimacy with Him ultimately is the heart of spiritual readiness. So, now let's look at Isaiah 26: "Enter into your chambers." This is really for the Feast of Trumpets, and I'm going to explain that. But look at what Isaiah says here: "Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little moment until the indignation has passed." So, again, we go through this on the Feast of Trumpets. And again, this is what Isaiah is really talking about is that time period from the Feast of Trumpets into Yom Kippur. I'm just trying to correlate it to the story of Noah with the 10 days of Noah, because there's a great correlation with the 10 days of Noah and the 10 days of awe, or the 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. So, when Yeshua returns, that's going to be on the 6,000th completed day from Adam, or the sixth day completed.

And then the Day of the Lord will begin on the Feast of Trumpets. Well, those 10 days, in the Day of the Lord, will be kind of like Noah: these 10 days, these 10 extra days. So, we've got to understand that those 10 days are going to be warfare. The Day of the Lord is going to be the sword, going to be fire, all of these things for 10 days. And then He redeems Israel and all of the believers, the Gentiles and the Jews, on the Day of Atonement. So, super important when we look at the correlation between the 10 days of awe and then the 10 days extra of the year that Noah had to stay in, if you will, these 10 days. So, super important to correlate that together because of the intimacy that we can get out of it, is what we're trying to go for in the understanding. So, again, Isaiah is talking about the 10 days of awe. You'll be hidden in the Day of the Lord. That goes with King David in Psalm 27:5: "For He will hide me in His pavilion; In the secret of His tabernacle He will hide me; He will set me high upon a rock." He's talking about the Day of the Lord.

Then also Zephaniah, in the book of Zephaniah, he's talking about it as well, and he tells you clearly that you will be hidden in the Day of the Lord. He says that exactly. So, again, hidden in the Day of the Lord. So, it's called Yom HaKeseh. You'll be hidden in the Day of the Lord, is what the Hebrew would tell you. But that goes into what Noah: you'll be hidden in the ark, just like Noah was as well. So, this passage speaks of God's people entering their chambers while divine indignation passes, which is what will be on the 10 days of awe when He returns, just like it was when Noah got into the ark as well. So, in its prophetic context, it concerns judgment and God's people finding refuge, but it also offers a powerful image for personal reflection. So, compare Genesis 7: Noah enters the ark. Isaiah 26: God's people are instructed to enter their chambers. And Matthew 25: the prepared virgins, the wise virgins, they enter into the wedding.

These passages repeatedly confront us with questions of obedience, preparation, and where we seek refuge. In Psalm 91:1, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." We all know that scripture. That chapter is very important for all of us with spiritual warfare and also with covering and anointing of Psalm 91. "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty," or be sealed in the ark of God, if you will. Notice the word "dwells." It is not merely a temporary visit. The psalm describes a continuing relationship of trust and refuge in God. Therefore, the 10-day invitation, Heshvan 17 to Heshvan 27, is not about withdrawing from responsibilities or expecting some supernatural protection from every hardship. It is about intentionally cultivating the relationship that the Holy Scriptures encourage us to maintain throughout our lives.

And this is just one little journey that we find on the biblical calendar. Again, this is just a 10-day little journey. You're not going to find too many people talking about it, but this is just a journey, a 10-day journey, kind of like the 10 days of awe, but it's not the 10 days of awe. It's not a divine appointment like the 10 days of awe, Trumpets and Yom Kippur is. So, just know that. But it's a very important time in this month of Heshvan, the quiet month, if you will, where the rains are starting to come down and it's a little bit quiet to get inside of the ark of God and be intimate with Him. This is why the flood came during this month, is because of this personal application and revelation that we can all get during this time period of these 10 days. And again, Noah stayed in the ark for one year and 10 days. So, again, if you want to stay in it for a year and 10 days, go right ahead.

But also, just understand, we're just doing this for a 10-day intimate journey. This is not biblical in the way that I'm saying it. There's not a 10-day journey that you're going to find from Heshvan 17 to 27 in the Bible. I just personally, from my personal experience, off the biblical calendar, when we just traject with the calendar and understand where we are on the calendar, which is where we are on Heshvan 17 to Heshvan 27, you will have an intimate moment with the Most High with understanding the biblical narrative of Noah and what he went through. And again, it's not going to be exactly, but just the prophetic understanding of being sealed in and being shut in the ark of God for 10 days, or for a year, or 40 days, or wherever He's got you. Because the flood was for 40 days. We're going to get into that as well. So, what am I trying to say, my friends? It's just about being intimate with the Most High.

And this is just a super understanding to have with the great man Noah and what he went through and the applications that we can get personally from that beautiful story of Noah. So, the 10-day journey of Heshvan 17-27. The biblical timeline: the flood begins on the 17th day of the second month. The ark rests on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th day of the seventh month. So, why is that important? So, again, if we understand the biblical calendar, whenever we see that in the scriptures, the 17th day of the seventh month, that should light all of us up, because that is the Feast of First Fruits. Nisan 17, Nisan 18 is when Yeshua was resurrected from the dead. So, again, that's when the ark landed on the mountains of Ararat. So, again, we just have to correlate it to Messiah, you know, and all of these things. And it's really cool because it's going to go on the biblical calendar: Heshvan 17 to Nisan 17, which is in the spring, the Feast of First Fruits.

And then Genesis 8:5, "The mountain tops became visible on the first day of the tenth month." Why is that important? Because that's when the summer solstice happens. You can read this in the Apocrypha. And again, those are just oral, extra-biblical sources. But in the Apocrypha, it says that Noah celebrated the Tammuz 1, Tishrei 1, Tevet 1, and Nisan 1, because that's the changing of the years, right? Seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Noah celebrated those according to the Apocrypha. So, again, Noah's journey is going along very important dates on the biblical calendar. Then we get to Genesis 8:13: "The waters had dried from the earth's surface on the first day of the first month of Noah's 601st year." Please excuse the misspelling there. That would be on the Feast of Trumpets. So, whenever you read Genesis 8:13, it says "on the first day of the first month." That is the Feast of Trumpets.

That's the 601st year of Noah's life. So, Noah was born on the Feast of Trumpets. That was his 601st year. That doesn't mean it was the 601st year from Adam. No, it was the 601st year from Noah's life. So, again, Adam lived a lot longer than 600 years from Noah. So, very important to realize that. And then we get to Genesis 8:14: "After the Feast of Trumpets, there's 58 days to Heshvan 27, which is pretty interesting. Why is that? Because the number 58 is associated with Noah's name, and his name is associated with comfort and with grace. Very awesome." So, again, if you look at the trajectory of what God did for a year and 10 days, even though we're just doing a little 10-day journey of intimacy, just on our channel, so to speak, but if you look at what He did for the year and 10 days, they were all on very important days, everybody. Heshvan 17, Noah's life is very prophetic. Of course, that's an important day if Noah, if Noah's story lands on it.

Nisan 17, the Feast of First Fruits, Yeshua. Genesis 8, Genesis 8:5, Tammuz 1, that's the beginning of the summer calendar, if you will, solstice, and that's when Noah, according to the Apocrypha, he would celebrate the seasons when they changed. Then we get to Genesis 8:13. That is the Feast of Trumpets. The first day of the first month of Genesis 8:13 would have been the Feast of Trumpets. And that was when Noah's birthday was. And then 58 days from there, he walked out of the ark on Heshvan 27. And 58 is associated with his name, which means grace and comfort. And then in Genesis 8:15-19, God commands Noah to leave the ark, and he walked out. So, the interval from the 17th day of the second month to the 27th day of the second month of Heshvan of the following year is traditionally understood as approximately one year and 10 days, or 360 days using a 360 calendar year. The spiritual significance of the flood began on the 17th day of the second month.

God later instructed Noah to emerge after the earth had dried. The biblical story moves from judgment and confinement towards renewal, worship, and covenant. And there is something beautiful about using this historical framework as an invitation to examine our own lives. So, this is just, again, people can use it or not use it, but this is just again something that someone can go on for 10 days for intimacy if they choose to. But this is day one, day two, day three, day four through 10. And here's the focus of each day, and also the scripture that you can refer to. So, day one, which is today, would be entering the ark. Obedience would be the main focus, and that's Genesis 7:1-16. Day number two would be Heshvan 18, of course, trusting God when circumstances change. Proverbs 3:5-6. Day three, dwelling in the secret place of the Most High. Psalm 91. Day four, entering into your chambers.

Isaiah 26. Day five, remaining spiritually watchful. Matthew 24. Day six, preparing your lamp. Matthew 25. Day seven, abiding in Yeshua. John 15. Day eight, hearing the Shepherd's voice. John 10. Day nine, seeking direction for your calling. Psalm 25. And then the last day, day 10, preparing for renewed obedience. Romans 12: "The renewal of the mind. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind."

And then Heshvan 27, which is next Shabbat, I believe, 10 days from now, is the concluding day of reflection, drawing from Genesis 8:14-22. So, the most beautiful part of the story is God calls Noah out after He seals Him in and protects Him for a year and 10 days, He and His family and all of the animals that He required. God calls Noah out in Genesis 8:15-16. "Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 'Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives with you.'" Excuse me.

So, God directed Noah in the ark, and God directed Noah out of the ark. Excuse me again. Noah didn't determine the appropriate moment to leave simply because he wanted to return to ordinary life. He waited for God's instruction. He waited. We often ask God to direct our steps, but are we willing to wait for His direction? Are we willing to remain faithful when the next step is not so clear? In Genesis 8:20, "Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar." So, notice that Noah's response after leaving the ark. It was about worship. All about worship. Noah's first reported action after exiting is building an altar. The goal isn't merely to emerge with more information or prophetic whatever it may be. The goal is to emerge with a heart increasingly surrendered to Yahweh and His commandments. So, the question for all of us to answer during these next 10 days, and really for our lifetime, is: What altar of worship, or gratitude, or obedience are we building in this next season of life?

That's a question for all of us: What altar of worship, gratitude, and obedience are we building for the next season of our life? One point I'd like to make before we continue is in Genesis 8:20, it does say, "Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took up every clean animal and of every clean bird." So, even before the Torah was given in Exodus 20, Moses, even in Noah's day, Noah knew what clean and unclean was. He was not going to put a bunch of unclean animals on the altar for Yah. So, that goes to all of our Christian friends out there. If no one knew what was clean and unclean before the Torah was given, the law was given, that means His ways are His ways, all forever, infinity in the past, infinity in the future, and He wrote them on stones, but they're really should be on the tablets of our hearts instead of on stone tablets. So, again, that's for all the Christian friends out there that yes, always clean and unclean, light or dark, good or evil.

That's the way God is. So, what is clean in the beginning is always clean. What is always unclean is unclean. So, again, Noah knew what was clean and unclean before Moses was even born. So, we've got to understand that, my Christian friends, that His ways are His ways. That's it. His ways are His ways, and then He put them on tablets so that mankind could understand them, and on letters and all this so that we can always follow them and understand those. But they again, they should be on the tablets of our hearts instead of on tablets of stone, or both. So, now abiding in Yeshua, John 15:4: "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." So, Noah was preserved in the ark. The wise virgins were prepared for the bridegroom. Psalm 91 describes dwelling in the secret place. Isaiah 26 speaks of entering the chambers, and Yeshua tells His disciples to abide in Him.

The central message is very consistent: our lives must be rooted in fellowship with God, expressed through faith, obedience, and spiritual readiness. And my friends, this is the month of rooting. Just like I said before, with the rains coming and things like this. So, the personal invitation that we all have right now, in my personal opinion, just for our channel, is an invitation to enter these 10 days. Imagine Noah standing before the ark. He had spent 120 years preparing and warning the people, building the ark, etc. He had obeyed Yah's instructions, and eventually the moment came when preparation gave way to entrance. In Genesis 7:6, it tells us, "The Lord shut him in." There's a lesson in that for every one of us. We cannot control the future. We cannot control the nations. We cannot control every circumstance surrounding our families, our ministries, and our personal lives. But we can choose to draw near, intimately, to Yahweh and be shut in the ark of Yahweh.

We can choose to obey His word. We can choose to seek Him with all of our hearts. And we can choose to make room in our lives to hear His voice. But we have to be sealed in the secret place of the Most High, and in this case, sealed into the ark of God. So, my friends, I do challenge every one of us, including myself. Just like I tell you guys, I don't say anything online that I don't tell myself. I'd be a hypocrite. So, I tell myself the same thing. Where do I want to be in 10 days? Where does the intimacy want to be? Where do I want to be with Yahweh in 10 days from now? It's a personal challenge for myself. And if you will allow this and receive it, I do challenge you as well. In the next 10 days, where do you want to be with the Most High? Can you take what we prayed on with the 10 days of awe? If you were with us in the courts of heaven on the 10 days of awe, this is just a double down.

This is just a double down on those 10 days. These 10 days, right? 10 days of awe. Now, again, I'm just correlating prophetically speaking. 10 days of awe where we pray for the righteous rendered verdicts. We pray for the blessings that be poured out on the earth from Yahweh. Now, let's get sealed in and go back at it and double down on those prayers. And again, I don't want to call them requests. I pray in agreement with the righteous rendered verdict. I pray for agreement. I don't keep asking and keep asking. I pray in agreement once I do ask, and I try not to ask again because He's already heard my prayer. So, I just pray in agreement for the righteous rendered verdict. So, again, these are great opportunities, these 10 days, to be sealed in. The tabernacle of God, the ark of God, your prayer closet, whatever you want to call it, to be sealed in with the Most High for 10 days. This is just a personal understanding.

This is not something you'll find in the Bible about these 10 days being whatever, but just draw upon the prophetic understanding of the story. If He shut Noah in on Heshvan 17, He can shut us in. And again, Noah was in it for a year and 10 days, not just 10 days. So, if you want to go for a year and 10 days, please do. I'm going to do that myself. But also for the 10 days as well, to really go back and double down on what we prayed for in the 10 days of awe. For there's some kind of correlation there. Remember, Noah had an extra 10 days on the calendar year, and Yeshua will have an extra 10 days on the calendar year. So, those 10 days are very important. It does mark the perfect divine order. Perfection of order is what the number means. So, this is a very important time in my opinion. If it was for Noah, it is in my mind for us as well. Personally speaking. Now, none of us are going to get into the ark with a bunch of animals and go around the world for, or go around the area for a year and 10 days in the ark.

But you guys know what I'm talking about. We're talking about being intimate with Him and drawing on this personal understanding and prophetic understanding of Noah's story and understanding the date that He was sealed into the ark of God, which is tonight. And we're asking for Yah to seal us in as well for whatever personal journey, or family journey, or community journey, or church journey, or synagogue journey one may be on. To seal you in. Seal you in. Get intimate with the Most High and get the revelations during this quiet month of Heshvan, or the second month, or the eighth month, however you want to call it. Get the intimate moments of this month because that's what this month's about. This month is about getting intimate with the Most High. That's why it's a quiet month. There's no fast days. There's no feast days. It's a quiet month. And it's talking about being the roots of the rains and stuff like that.

It's very important. And now you have the story of Noah telling us to be shut in during this time, prophetically speaking, personally speaking, to be shut in with Him. What does that mean? That means to take a little bit more time than we usually do and to get intimate with Him.

Now, that's not saying just go get isolated for 10 days, or if God calls you to be isolated for 10 days, go get isolated. However the Spirit leads, okay? Some people might go a little bit further. Again, my friends, it's about how God leads you in this. I'm just trying to point out to you what I personally believe: if He shut Noah in on this day, that means this day is a very important day. I think we can all agree with Noah's life. There's only one Noah, right? So Noah's life is very important for us to understand in many different ways as an example to be humble, to obey, and to trust Yahweh. I believe that these 10 days are important because they're biblical. And I believe again, He went for the year, but we're just doing the 10 days. And I believe Cheshvan 17 ultimately is a very important day because that is recorded in the Bible that that's when He shut Noah in. So my question for myself and for everybody else is, do you want to be shut in?

And if you want to be shut in, then let's get shut in and let Him shut us in. What does that mean? Let Him dictate to us what we need to be hearing, what we need to be seeing, what we need to be observing, what we need to be reading, what we need to be praying for, what we need to be standing in agreement for, what we need to be opening spiritual gifts, what we need to be praying for, whoever it may be. So this is a very important time in my personal opinion on God's calendar because that's what it says in the Bible. Again, my friends, we're not trying to extract every single anointing that we're going to be Noah. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the prophetic understanding of being sealed in on the date that God sealed Noah in. And that date was today at sundown on the Hebrew calendar. And wherever you may be, that's when He was sealed in the ark. So in James 4, or Ya'akov 4, verse 8: "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." James, and also Peter says, "Humble yourselves, and He will exalt you in due time." So my friends, that's a very important concept because if you want to get into the ark in humility, that's what it is: humility into the ark.

Then when you get out of the ark, He's going to exalt you whenever that is, whenever He gets you out of the ark. If you've been going through a season of warfare, if you've been going through a season of hard times, or whatever it may be, that is okay. Mostly everybody that I talk to, friends or acquaintances or you name it, people online, they're having warfare. People are having warfare tremendously right now because, number one, we're at the end of the age. Number two, it's purification and refinement. And God's going to put every one of us, He's going to put us in the ark whether we want to or not, if we are His. And guess what, friends? You are His. And He's going to put you in and shut you in so that He can, and shut me in as well, so that He can get us to the point that we need to get. It's a beautiful thing if we receive it. So if I can say this, spend some extra time. Spend some extra time.

Take a step back from the world. It's only 10 days or one day or however many days you do it. It's only a few days to step back and take a look. Do some accountability: personal accountability, family accountability, community accountability, church accountability, whatever accountability. And get stuck into the ark of God and be sealed in by Him. It's really a beautiful thing. And when you come out of that ark, whenever it may be, I will testify that you will have more revelation, you'll have more intimacy, and you'll come out with a different mindset and a different heart position than maybe we had before that. Me, me as well, on all of the things that we were praying for. So again, double down on the 10 days of awe, from Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur, where the verdicts are given. Double down on it and stand in agreement. If you're not receiving any answered prayers, if you're going through a tough time, no matter what it is, stand on Him.

Get sealed in Him for 10 days and see what happens. Or a year, see what happens. Six months, whatever God leads you to do. I'm just talking to you personally about what I'm doing and things like that, and some of the things that I draw in on the scriptures. So again, this is not a commanded 10 days. Let me be very clear with that. I just feel like it's very important because of the example of Noah, the righteousness of Noah, the preacher of righteousness. No one else listened to Noah, only his family. Eight people lived; the whole world died but him. So, I think this is a very important day, don't you? This is when the flood did start. 40 days and 40 nights. What's so amazing about this is pretty interesting: that the 40 days, the flood, the 40th day ended on the middle of Hanukkah, basically. People don't realize that, but you've got to know the calendar. So, let me show you on the calendar where this is.

So, when you look at it, Noah was in the ark. You probably cannot see my arrow, but we're in the middle of the month of Cheshvan, the eighth month. So, number eight, we're in that month. We're in the middle of the month, basically. So, Cheshvan 17, if you count 40 days and 40 nights, it's going to put you in Kislev, on Kislev. And that's going to put you in the middle of Hanukkah. It's when the flood ended. So, the 40-day flood started on Cheshvan 17. Count 40 days and you're going to be right there at Kislev 27, if you will, somewhere in there. So, it was on the third day of Hanukkah. Which is pretty amazing. Let me make sure I've got that correctly for you before I say that. But yeah, 13 days plus the tw... So, there you go with that. 40 days and basically the middle of Hanukkah that Noah, I'm sorry, the flood would have ended on. So, really the 40th day, everything's very right on the calendar.

He got into the ark on Cheshvan 17. 40 days later, the middle of Hanukkah, very important. Yeshua celebrated Hanukkah. If you know what it means prophetically speaking, Hanukkah is going to happen again. Daniel prophesied about the future Hanukkah before the first Hanukkah happened in Daniel 12. So, Hanukkah is going to happen again. That's why people need to open their eyes and look at these things. So again, Cheshvan 17, the flood started. 40 days later, in the middle of Hanukkah, it ended. And then the next date you go to is on Nisan 17, which is the Feast of First Fruits. Yeshua was resurrected on the Feast of First Fruits. Pretty amazing. And then you go to Tammuz 1, fourth month. Tammuz 1. That's the beginning of the summer solstice. That, again, extra-biblical sources would tell you that Noah celebrated those. All four of them. And then you have the Feast of Trumpets as the next marker for Noah's story, where he uncovered the ark.

And then 58 days later, which is grace, comfort. And Noah's name is tied to 58. On the 58th day from the Feast of Trumpets, the righteous rendered verdict. Noah got it. He got the righteous rendered verdict and they walked out of the ark 58 days later. And his name means grace and comfort and all of these beautiful things. So friends, I say this to say that the calendar is amazing, in my personal opinion. It's totally amazing. And if we understand it, then we're going to understand these things about Noah. We're going to understand these stories that some people unfortunately don't understand because they don't know the biblical calendar. Again, I say this basically every video: it begins and ends with this. Everything. Noah's story, prophecies, you name it. The Son of Man coming again, Feast of Trumpets, you name it. Everything goes back to this calendar. That's why it's in Genesis 1:14 and not in Deuteronomy 6 or something like that.

God said it in the very beginning. So He wanted everybody on a calendar and understand the times and the seasons and to get these personal revelations that we can all get if we understand the basic understanding of the biblical calendar. So, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." Not fear, not sensationalism, not date setting, not sensationalism, not date setting, but a deliberate decision to seek greater intimacy with the Father. So walking, entering, waiting, listening, emerging, and worshiping is the heart posture of these next few days in my personal opinion: walking, entering into the ark, waiting, hearing, listening, emerging, and then worshiping Him, of course, when we get out. So, from Cheshvan 17 to Cheshvan 27, I would like to invite all of us, me included, to spiritually speaking, to enter into the ark and let Him seal us in for 10 days. Set aside intentional time every single day.

Open the scriptures, pray, examine your heart, ask the Father what needs to change, ask Him where He is directing your steps, and ask Him to deepen your relationship with Him. Not merely for these 10 days, but for the rest of your life. Because ultimately, friends, the greatest blessing isn't knowing what tomorrow holds. It is knowing that the One who holds tomorrow, mañana, b'Yeshua HaMashiach, in the name of Yeshua. Amen. Amen. And amen. Well, friends, thank you very much for joining us tonight. I wanted to come with you really quick tonight, a quick teaching tonight as we enter into this very important day, Cheshvan 17. This is the day that one of God's greatest men that walked this earth, Noah, which we all came from as the regeneration, that He got shut into the ark on this day. On this day only, He got shut in. So that tells you how important Cheshvan 17 is when one of God's holy men that walked this earth was shut into the ark on Cheshvan 17.

So friends, pray into these things. This is just my personal understanding and application that I personally do and how much I've gotten out of it personally with the intimacy that we can get for 10 days. We know what 10 means in the Holy Bible. We know the 10 days of awe. We know that Daniel fasted for 10 days as well when he went to Babylon and he wanted not to eat Nebuchadnezzar's food because it was, you know, wrong, full of dietary law prohibitions. So again, and he got the favor after 10 days. So again, 10 days is very important in the Holy Bible. There are three examples: 10, 10 days of awe, and then you have the 10 days between Cheshvan 17 and Cheshvan 27. Very important time, my friends, because of the understanding that we all want to be shut in at the second coming events, whenever Yeshua returns on the Feast of Trumpets. We all want to be shut in. This is what it relates to prophetically speaking.

We all want to be shut into the ark or the tabernacle of God. "Hide me in Your pavilion," is what it says, King David, "in the day of trouble."

What's the day of trouble? It's not the Antichrist. The Antichrist is not mentioned in any of those passages at all when it's talking about hidden Yom Ha'Kadosh, you want to be hidden in the day of the Lord. It's not saying the day of the Antichrist. The day of the Lord is what the prophets always warned about. So many people are so concerned about the Antichrist; they need to be concerned about Yeshua. The day of the Lord is what the prophets warned about, not the day of the Antichrist. It's just telling you that the Antichrist is coming. It's not telling you you're going to be hidden in the day of the Antichrist. You're going to be hidden in the day of the Lord, as Zephaniah says, Psalm 27 says, Matthew 24 will tell you that as well, 25 will tell you that.

And also Isaiah 26, I believe, is the scripture. So again, we're going to be hidden in the day of Adonai, and that's what it relates to. So these 10 days, you can relate to the 10 days of awe, be hidden in the day of the Lord. You'll be hidden in that ark of God when He returns because He's going to pour out His wrath for 10 days. Those seven bowls in the Book of Revelation, if you read Revelation from the feast day standpoint. So again, that's why it's important, friends, to understand these things from a feast day standpoint, calendar standpoint, so that we can understand the second coming events with Jesus Yeshua, what He's going to do. And it goes into the prophecies and you go into the trajectory that He's going to do. Because if not, then we're not going to understand these things. We're not going to understand He has 10 days of just a war that He's going to pour out His wrath. Christianity cannot teach us this.

Why can't they? Is because they don't have the times and the seasons in their theology. If they did, then they would understand these things very well. Unfortunately, a lot of the Christian believers do not. Most of them do not because it's not in their theology. So how could they know if they're not in the theology or the eschatology? So again, that's why we go through what we're going through. Cheshvan 17 is not a divine appointment. It's not a feast day. It's not an appointed time. But again, I think we can all agree Noah was a very important man to God. He loved Noah, and He gave, He basically repopulated the earth through Noah. He saved Noah and no one else, his family, yes, but if it wasn't for Noah, then who knows about his family? So again, He saved Noah and his family. And that's how important it is. And when did He save them? When did He shut them in? Right now, this day today.

And I believe that's how important it is, my friends. If you can extrapolate some of these things from these anointings, from the calendar and from the seasons, it's only going to make your relationship more intimate and stronger with the Most High because you're flowing with Him. Too many people are looking at things from mankind's ways. "Oh, it's a Jewish thing. It's a Christian thing. It's a this thing. It's a that thing." No, this is God's thing. This is God. This is His days. He created the sun and the moon. No one else. Mankind did not create the sun and the moon. He did. These are His days. He says that in Leviticus 23. Yes, they're the Jewish days, but they're His days first. And He gave them to the Jewish people to give to us. So, people have got to get the trajectory right and quit calling them just the Jewish day feast days. They are, but they're not. They're His days for Christians as well.

And that's why people have to really understand. And that's why people don't understand the times and the seasons. That's why they're going to be caught as a thief in the night, like Paul says, because he warns everybody to know the time, calendar, and the seasons in First Thessalonians 5. And if people don't understand that, then they're going to be caught as a thief in the night because they're not reading Paul in context. And Peter warns in Second Peter 3, "Don't twist Paul like they twist the other scriptures to their own destruction," is what Peter says. So, I would take the Apostle Peter and match him with Paul to make sure I have the right understanding that I'm reading Paul in the right context, which Christians mostly are not. And they're taking it way out of context to their own destruction, as Peter warns. So again, don't take me for it. Take Peter, Second Peter, chapter 3, and read what he says about the warnings about twisting Paul like a pretzel, like a lot of Christians do.

Paul does not want to be twisted like a pretzel. And don't put salt on it either. He doesn't want salt in his wounds either while you're twisting. So we've got to quit twisting Paul. Christians do. So that they can understand these deep revelations and these intimate moments that they can have that they are missing because they're not on God's time. They're on their own time. Nothing wrong with that. Pray all you want to your own time, but He wants you to do it on His time as well, mainly His time. He wants you to be intimate with Him on what He has designed and what He has created. And again, Cheshvan 17 is not a feast day, but it's a very important day on the biblical calendar when the world was beginning to be destroyed on Cheshvan 17 and Noah was saved. So now let's go to the end of the age. So when He returns again, it's going to be the same thing. Matthew 25, same thing as Noah's day.

They're going to knock on the ark and He's going to say, "I never knew you. I never knew you," is what it says. And then other places in the Sermon on the Mount, it says, "I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice lawlessness." And for whoever's educated out there, you know what lawlessness means. That means do not practice the Torah. Toralessness. For one that does not practice His Father's instructions, is what it is. It's not talking about American law or even Israeli law. It's talking about His law and His commandments. So again, we just have to go back and get re-educated on these things like all of us have had to do that as well from what we were born with or born through. So again, friends, very important day today, Cheshvan 17. This is the beginning of it. Tomorrow is the ending of it, and it's a very important time to really recalibrate, if you will, from the feast season.

Remember, we just came out of the feast season where we've been praying for righteous rendered verdicts, the blessings of God to be poured out upon us, all of these beautiful things. 48 days later, here we are. 48 days later, we're right here at Cheshvan 17, sealed in. And this is just another application of intimacy with the Most High. And again, one can get very much deep revelation if they choose to do these things on the appointed date that He has done those on, on the biblical calendar. One can get great revelation and intimacy with the Most High by following the dates and getting the personal application from Noah's story and being shut in the ark for however long you want to be shut into: 10 days, a year and 10 days, whatever days that's between you and Yahweh. I'm just trying to inspire people to get intimate with Him on His days, on the day that Noah was shut in, get shut in as well.

I mean, goodness, get shut in as well. I'm going to do the same thing. And then see what happens in these 10 days or in this year or in whatever time you've allotted for your ark journey. It's going to be an interesting time, that is for sure. So, thank you very much, everybody. Don't forget to visit us on the website. Let me put that back up really quick. On the website at faithfulperformance.org, you can sign up for the email list there, and you'll get all the videos that we do each and every time, and you'll also get the free ebook. So, we just released our second edition of our book we released in 2016 called "God's Prophetic Timeline." And it's the second edition because there's more evidence that has come out to support what we believe Daniel is telling us at the end of the age, which is four kingdoms that will rise to power and then Yeshua will return. And we are seeing those kingdoms rise and fall, as you are seeing right now with the Iranian kingdom or Medo-Persia right now being the superpower of the region.

So, I go through that. I go through the importance of 1948, the state of Israel being created for the prophecies to be fulfilled. 1967, they had to control Jerusalem again for the prophecies to be fulfilled. And then after 1967, there is a prophecy that says in Psalm 102, let me try to remember it now that I've said it. Psalm 102, verse 16 and verse 18. "For when the Lord builds up Zion, He will appear in His glory." Verse 18: "This is written for the terminal generation." The Hebrew word is *aḥaron*, which means terminal or last. So, what is Psalm 102 saying? Whenever He builds up Zion, Jerusalem, He's going to appear in His glory. This is written for the last generation. So, He built up, He started building up Zion in 1967. I think we can agree that He has not built up Zion until then. If you go look at Zion until 1967, and so He built Zion up. Now look at Zion and what He's done for the Jewish people, the children of Israel.

And He's going to appear in His glory, is what the Psalmist says. So again, now go to the other prophecies. We've got to have these four kingdoms to come to power because Daniel says it's for the end. Daniel 2:28, Daniel 8:17-20, Daniel 10:14, I think, and then Daniel 12:4. Four times in Daniel's book, out of 12 chapters, he said, "This is for the end." And we all know the other chapters are the lion's story, lion's den, friends in the fire, Nebuchadnezzar being exiled. I mean, so again, the prophecies that he wrote about, not the historical context, the prophecies he wrote about are for the end. The dreams, the visions, statue, dreams, all that. Nebuchadnezzar's statue for the end is what it says. So again, we've got to take it for the end, like Daniel said. And like Gabriel said, the archangel from God's throne, said for the end. So, we go through that. 1948, '67, four kingdoms, second coming events, the battlefront that you're going to see, the northern, middle, and lower battle point.

We're going to Israel. We're going to go through that here this summer, Shavuot. And then we talk about the millennial kingdom. And then we talk about the New Jerusalem. So, it goes on a kind of a prophetic timeline, if you will. Not setting dates, just here you go: '48, '67, whenever these four kingdoms happen, second coming, millennial reign, and then eternal kingdom. So, if you go on the website, sign up for the email, you'll get a free ebook of this book. And also, the one behind me, "The Cross to the Crown." This is a prophecy book. The one behind me is a worship book, "Spirit and Truth Worship Book," on God's calendar and all the major events that's on the calendar during the year. Now, we're going to go through those live on video, but if one wants to read instead of listen to the audio, you can find that. You can get a free ebook by signing up on the email list on faithfulperformance.org, and you'll get this book as well, and all the other books that we're going to release here, which will be about two or three next year.

One of them will be a second edition, and then the other two will be... The second edition will be "God's Fisherman, Satan's Hunters," which you're seeing that as well, Jeremiah 16, and more evidence of that. I wrote that book in 2018, and there's a lot more evidence. I think that's pretty clear that the hunters have been released against the Jewish people in the world. I think that's pretty clear. And then the other two books will be the Book of Revelation. We'll be doing our personal opinion on that. And then also the Book of Jeremiah and the three kings that he had to deal with, especially the last two evil kings that Jeremiah had to deal with. And they said no, and saw what happened. So again, I want to write those books. We're going to get to those books as well, and you'll get a free ebook of all of these things. Just sign up there. We're not going to blow your email up with a lot of stuff at all.

It's just going to be videos and books, you know. And then "The Watchman Report" is a spin-off of Faithful Performance, and it has a lot of news articles in one area. If you're interested in the Middle East and knowing what's going on and what's going down with the Middle East and prophecies, we bring a lot, a lot of articles to one source so that you don't have to look all over the place for all these articles. You've got all these articles from different sources bringing in information for all of us to decipher so that we're not fooled by any worldly politician or whoever it may be. Please follow the biblical prophets. The biblical prophets are going to dictate what the politicians do. Does that make sense? So, at the end of the age, which most people believe we're living at the end of the age before Jesus returns, people believe, okay, the end of the age. Well, if we're living at the end of the age, then the biblical prophets are going to take over the geopolitical understanding.

No one else. All of the people of the earth, the world leaders are going to follow what they have ordained through God. So they prophesied it out, and these worldly leaders, whether they know it or not, are going to fall in alignment with the prophets, not the other way around. Too many people are following the politicians and not the prophets. That's why it's easy to understand the Middle East if you know the prophets and not the politicians. People listen to the politicians, you're going to be deceived. So please understand that. It's very important to understand the biblical prophets at the end of the age. If one believes we're living at the end of the age, at the end of the age, the biblical prophets, Moses, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, all the other ones, they're going to take over the geopolitical understanding of this earth. In the Middle East, in North Africa, I can't say everywhere else.

But for the Middle East and North Africa, they will take over anybody's position on what they feel like whoever is going to do over there, Israel, America, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, you name it, the prophets will dictate that, not the politicians. The politicians will fall in alignment with what the prophets have ordained, if that makes sense. So please visit us on the website. There's some other cool things on there. The Hebrew calendar is on there, a lot of other resources, etc. We'd love to connect with you there. And then also "The Watchman Report" will keep you updated with the articles that are all going on in the world. And don't forget, we are going back to Israel on June 7th through the 17th. It's during the Feast of Shavuot, Pentecost. Very important time, as we all know, the giving of the Torah and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit will be in Israel at that time. I believe we'll be celebrating it in the Sea of Galilee, I believe, and it'll be a very amazing time.

You can click on the QR code or go to the website as well. You'll find the 11-day journey. I believe I'll be doing a video on the Israel trip in the first week or so in November. So, once we get to November, we'll probably crank it up a little bit more with more information or more videos on the trip. So I believe that will be November 10th that Miss Marne Baker, who's TAVA Journeys, and myself will come on, and we will explain everything in much detail. So, pray about these things. We'd love to see everybody over there who's wanting to go. Well, thank you very much, everybody, for being with us. A very important day. It is not a feast day, but it is a very important day to really understand prophetically speaking and personally speaking how important this day is. And again, I've said it about three or four times: Noah. That's all you have to say. Noah. Cheshvan 17 is important. Noah. Cheshvan 27.

It's important because it has to deal with one of God's holiest men in the Bible, which is Noah. I think we can all agree with that. So, friends, get shut in. Get shut into the ark of God and get intimate with Him. Of course, we can get intimate with Him every day. But on the days like this, Passover, or Cheshvan 17, Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, you name it. On His days, Purim, Hanukkah, you name it. On His days, you know what I'm talking about. For all of you out there who experience these things on His calendar, you know what I'm talking about. There is obvious intimacy when we're not on His days, but whenever we have His days, the level goes a little bit higher. It's kind of like sports, you know, we're all familiar with sports, whatever sport you want to talk about. There's the regular season, and then there's the postseason, and then there's the Super Bowl or World Series or whatever.

Well, this is not the regular season, but this is not the Super Bowl either, and this is not the World Series. This is in between the ordinary days and the high priority days, the high holy days. This is not a holy day, but it's an important day because of Noah. And He got shut into the ark today. I want to be shut in that ark, and I know you do as well. So, let's get shut into the ark. Let's see what happens. You know, let's get in. As far as fasting and prayer, please pray to the Most High about fasting and prayer, especially if you have medical problems and things like that. If you cannot fast, then do not worry about it. God knows if you cannot fast. But if you can fast and God's leading you to that, then get with Him on that. Just, of course, be careful with fasting, especially if you have medical issues. But this is a great time, my friends, again, of understanding of the biblical scriptures.

An important date just to pray into, be intimate with Yahweh, that extra understanding of being sealed in. We want to be like Noah, right? We want to be like the holy men of the Bible, David, Noah, Moses. Of course, we want to be like the prophets. We want to be like all of God's people who loved Him, who kept His commandments, and they wanted the deeper revelations of these things. He said, my friends, there are a lot of revelations in the story of Noah. We all know that. The main one is to be shut in, personally speaking, to be shut into the Most High, into the ark of the Most High. And whatever you're praying for, whatever you're interceding for, whatever you're warring for, now is a good time to go back at it. Now's a good time to go to the courts of heaven. Now's a good time to quote the word of God over your life, your family's life, your land, your home, you name it. But now's a good time to anoint yourself with the anointing of being sealed.

Don't you want to be sealed? It's just an application. You don't have to do it. It's just a personal application of being sealed in by the holy anointing oil. So all of these things, in my personal opinion, they do matter. I know how much they've helped my personal life. Are they required? Of course not. God tells you what's required in the Torah. But if we can go deeper, go deeper and go beyond what's required and what's commanded, if you will. When I say that, not oral traditions. Not oral anything. Just the understanding, the deeper revelations of the story of Noah, the deeper revelations of the story of David, the deeper revelations of whoever. And get the deeper understanding of these things because He did it to them as well. He shut Noah in on this day, not any other day in the Bible. He shut him in on this day for a reason. So that's why I say it's not a feast day. It's not a fast day.

It's a very important day because it has to deal with God and Noah and shutting him in, and the rest of the world drowned during the 40 days. So I think we can all agree that this is a very important day. And I want to challenge not only you but myself. I challenge myself as well every day, but I'll challenge myself as well for 10 days, get in, or for a year, or however long God does it. But for this understanding, 10 days, and we'll see what happens after 10 days. Amen. Amen. And amen. So, I want to encourage you guys with that. Shalom to you, Denise. Thank you so much for joining us. Good evening to you as well. We hope you have a great evening and we hope you get sealed in and see what God does for you and your family in this beautiful time that we're in right now. Miss Na, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much for your emails. We are praying for you. We stand with you, of course, we do.

And so shalom to you and thank you as well for joining us tonight and for your kind remarks, and we stand with you on your prayers and also what you wrote in the emails as well. We hope all is well in Estonia. Mr. Michael, shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. We hope you're having a great week and we hope that you get sealed into the Most High as well during this time period. Yes, I have seen your email and I will respond to you here tomorrow, my friend. Been a busy week, so please forgive me. And I guess it's still the week, Mr. Michael. Please pray for people because people will celebrate Halloween on the Sabbath. I hate Halloween. Yeah. I mean, there are two great sins there: number one, breaking the Sabbath, and Halloween. So, two bad things that are coming here this Shabbat for a lot of Christians, you know. Even in my hometown, you see these churches doing trunk-or-treat or whatever they call this stuff, and you just want to go there and you want to act like Judah Maccabee, you know what I'm saying?

Not really. And I'm not, but you just want to go in there and you just want to, like Abraham did with Terah's idols as well, you know, go in there and just break all of them. You know, that's what Abraham did to his father's idols if you go read some of the extra-biblical sources. And that's what needs to happen ultimately. And I think at the appointed time, God will allow some of these things to happen to get the people's attention. Remember, and people might not want to receive this, but remember when ISIS ramped through the Middle East and broke all those idols in the Middle East. Now, again, no one supports ISIS. But again, God will allow a Nebuchadnezzar or an ISIS to go tear down a bunch of idols over in the Middle East. He will allow that. And again, I think He's going to allow that again, you know, because of the idolatry that we're seeing in some of the land. So, yes, our Christian friends need to really wake up.

This should be common sense about Halloween. Goodness, God told me my life was a lie on Halloween, 2014. That's when I was born again was after that. So again, I've got a personal account on that as well. I mean, this should be common sense for me as well back then. But again, I was stupid and I was ignorant and I was in abominations and all these things. That's where I was. I didn't have a clue. And that's why God, in my opinion, He told me what He told me: "Your life is a lie." So Christians are very deceived. If they're deceived on Halloween, you have no clue about Christmas. I mean, if they can't get Halloween right, there's no point even talking to them about Christmas. You won't even get to the front door with that. If they can't get Halloween right, goodness gracious alive. This is easy to understand. Just from a world point of view, it should be easy to understand that this is a demonic holiday that people should not be addressing or being a part of.

You cannot mix the cup of the Lord with the cup of the devil. You just can't. That's what Paul says to my Christian friends. So, if my Christian friends would just go back and read Paul, he would tell you to stay away from Halloween. He'd tell you to celebrate Passover, 1 Corinthians 5:7. He'd tell you to stay away from all this stuff. But unfortunately, I don't think people are reading the Bible. I think people are going to church, getting a motivational speech on a scripture they've heard a thousand times with a cupcake and a coffee, is what I think. Seriously, I mean that is what I truly think. You know, because people, how can you read the Bible and come up with this stuff? Read Paul and come up with this stuff, let alone what God says in Torah about not messing with ghosts and all these wicked things and witchcraft and stuff like that that Christians want to dabble in. I've dabbled in it as well.

So, I'm not being a hypocrite, but I'm just telling you it's wrong because God's just not going to correct you or me and then all the other Christians, you have the grace to go do all that. But Chadwick and whoever else, you cannot do that. Your life's a lie. I mean, come on. I mean, He's the same. He's going to tell everybody the same if people are listening. But people are listening to the false spirit instead of the Holy Spirit, instead of the Spirit of Truth. They're listening to the counterfeit spirit and they're being deceived because, just like Satan told Adam and Eve that they could do whatever they want and God's not going to do that to them. That's the same little Satan that is choking the Christians. "Oh, go ahead. You can do that. What? Don't listen to these people say you can't celebrate Halloween. Come on. That's just a light-hearted thing. Come on." Same thing as in the garden.

That's what Satan told Eve and Adam as well. "Don't worry. Don't worry. It's okay. You've got the grace." Can't you hear Satan say that? "You've got the grace. Go, go, go eat that tree of knowledge of good and evil. You're going to be just fine." Same thing as the Christians today with Halloween and all this stuff. Same thing. They're listening to the same false spirit from Satan saying that they can be a part of these things. They're not realizing what they're doing to their children by putting these things on them. Opening up the demonic to their lives is what they're really doing. If you look at it spiritually, they're opening up the demonic to them. And again, we wonder why some of our children are having a hard time. Well, go look at how you celebrate. And again, I tell the parents this all the time: Parents, if you want to go celebrate all this wicked stuff, go. But leave your kids out of it.

Please leave the children out of it. If you want to go act like a pagan, if you want to go celebrate these crazy things, leave your children out of it. Because all you're doing, or I would be doing, or whoever would be doing, is opening up the demonic activity around our kids by celebrating Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. Go look at the celebrations. Go look at where they come from. No one has the power to overchange those. They would be calling themselves God if they thought they had the power to cleanse Halloween or to cleanse all these other things. They are self-idolatry, is what that is. No one has the power to call anything good or evil or clean or unclean but God. That's it. He's the only one. And He has called everything that we've just mentioned evil. Just to say it nicely, you know, Halloween, all these things that people celebrate because they've got the grace. And we'll find out what does the oil represent in the wise virgin's lamp.

In my personal opinion, it's the word of God. Some people say the Holy Spirit. To me, the same Holy Spirit, word of God. You cannot separate those, as you know, Denise. So for me, the oil represents the word of God. And you put the Holy Spirit as well, because to me, they're one. So again, it's very important, this oil in the wise virgins and the foolish virgins. Because if you really think about it, literally, the wise virgins have oil in their lamp. So they just don't have a lamp that's dark. They have a lamp with oil, and that oil makes light. The foolish virgins have a lamp with no oil. So that means they cannot have light because they have no oil. Right? So it's just a common understanding. And why He said it is, "If you have a lamp, you have oil, you're the light of the world. If you don't have oil in it, you're a believer because you're a virgin, but you're still in darkness because you don't have oil in your lamp." And that person or those people will be told, "I never knew you." You know, how do you know Him?

And that goes into answering the question, I believe, what is oil? Well, how do you know Him? Because that's what Yeshua said. "How do you know Him?" "I never knew you, foolish virgins." You're believers. You believe in Me, but why aren't you a wise virgin? Why don't you have oil in your lamp? And then He says, "You never knew Me," or "I never knew you." Well, how do you know Him? The word of God. We cannot know the Messiah truly unless we know the Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Why? Because number one, that's God's instructions, and that's who Yeshua is. But number two, that's who He is. That's His ways. That's His character. That's who He is. So again, when He says, "I don't know you," or "get lawlessness," or "not the Torah," He's telling everybody, including myself, that if we don't follow His ways, we're not going to know Him. How could you know Him? How can I know my real father on this earth right now if I don't know his ways?

Doesn't that make up the characteristics of my human father on this earth? Doesn't that make up the human quality of my mother as well? How do I know my mother? Do I just know her name or do I know her ways? I know how she is. I know her good qualities. She doesn't have any bad qualities if she's listening, but anyhow. So anyhow, you know what I'm saying? So, you've got to know Him through the word of God. And that's why, in my opinion, we've come to the conclusion, in my opinion, of what oil represents, because He says, "I never knew you," or "I never knew me," or whatever, because there's no oil. What's oil? How do you know Him? The word of God and the precious Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is going to bring Yeshua more real to all of us. Going to point us back to the truth of the scriptures. So, they're really one: the Holy Spirit and the word of God. So, to answer the question, I think it's both of that.

But I think people really need to go to the deeper understanding of a lamp with no Torah and no light. And what does that mean standing before the King of Israel? Not too great. Shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us, Monster Ball. Always great to see you. We hope you're having a great week and we hope you have a great rest of the week, and we hope that you get sealed in the ark of God and have a beautiful intimate moment with Him. Amen. Amen. And amen. Mr. Michael, why Halloween will be on this Shabbat? Why? Well, that's how the calendar is just rotated. And again, I want to make a quick point of this: just because it's called Saturday on the Gregorian calendar, that's not what the Hebrew calendar says. So it's not Saturday or Saturn in the Hebrew is Shabbat. So, again, we don't go by the Gregorian calendar's names, Saturn, all the stuff, Sunday, sun worship, all the stuff. You know, it's Shabbat is Saturday.

Shabbat. So, people get confused with why they have Shabbat on a Saturn, Saturn day or whatever. No, that's the pagans doing it their way. On the Hebrew calendar, it's Shabbat, you know, pretty much. So, I wanted just to have that. So, that's just the way the calendars collide. But if you're on the biblical calendar, which you are, my friend, who cares what the Gregorian calendar does with all these dates? Now, I care because it's a disgrace what they're doing to Shabbat, especially Halloween on Shabbat. Two great sins on Halloween on this Shabbat: breaking the fourth commandment and worshiping or having a good time on an evil holiday. So, again, people just need to be very careful of these things, of what they're opening up to themselves and also their children. Instead of Halloween, it used to be called All Saints Day. That's right. And then there's the Day of the Dead, or Day of November 1st, and all this pagan stuff.

But on the biblical calendar, you don't see any of that stuff. That's the difference. All right. Okay. My nephew's name is Noah. Well, that's awesome, man. That's an awesome name for your nephew. What a great name, Noah. "And let not lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge God, and He will direct your path." Amen. Amen. And amen. Well, my friends, thank you so much for being with us. We got down to all the chats, and I know I have a very, very early day tomorrow, and I know I'm sure most of you do as well. And we have to work. So, thank you so much for being with us. We're going to call it a night. We'll have a few days off here. We'll be out of town for a little bit, but we'll be back in town and we'll be back with you next week. We'll be back with you here, and we hope that you get sealed in the ark of God.

We hope that you can take the personal application and really get intimate with Him. That's why we do these videos: to show people the calendar and the importance of the days in the Bible, whether with Noah, Abraham, or whoever it may be, Yeshua of course. We do this to open up knowledge for ourselves and for others, so that we can get as intimate with Him as possible.

As we go through the journey of the calendar year, we get as intimate with Him as possible on His feast days and on these other significant days like Cheshvan 17, Purim, or Hanukkah. They are beautiful days to be associated with and to get intimate with the Most High.

On this day, I believe He wants us to be sealed in our prayer closet, wherever we like to get intimate with Him. Be sealed in with Him for what He wants to show all of us – what we've been praying for: the righteous rendered verdicts, more revelation, more instructions, more strategies, whatever it may be. Now is a great opportunity.

This little season that we're in now, these 10 days, is a great opportunity to double down on what you've been praying for and what you've been standing in agreement with. Be sealed in with Him during this time period.

Thank you so much for being with us. It's great to see everybody. We will be seeing everybody next week. We hope to see you again next week when we come back.

Until that time, may God bless you. May He keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you His grace. May He lift up His countenance upon you and your family and give you His everlasting shalom. In Hebrew, *yevarechecha Adonai v'yishmerecha, ya'er Adonai panav elecha v'yichuneka, yisa Adonai panav elecha v'yasem l'cha shalom*. In the name above every other name, in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, in the name of blood, Yeshua. Amen. Amen and amen.

Have a good time in the Ark of God, everybody. We'll see you next week. God bless everybody. We love you. Shalom to you.

"Move me along the flood waters, higher ground. Lord, guide me in Your arms so I don't lose my crown. Forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound. Oh, forever I'll rest in Your arms, safe and sound. Oh, safe and sound."
