In this segment: Chadwick details the biblical calendar, explaining that the 40-day flood began on Heshvan 17 and ended around the middle of Hanukkah. He highlights other significant dates in Noah's story, such as Nisan 17 and the Feast of Trumpets, and connects the number 58 to Noah's name, signifying grace and comfort. Chadwick encourages listeners to use the period from Heshvan 17 to 27 for intentional intimacy with God, spiritually entering the ark.
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.
