Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 65:17-25
"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new
earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will
rejoice over Jerusalem
and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying
will be heard in it no more. "Never again will there be in it an infant
who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; he who
dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth; he who fails to reach a hundred
will be considered accursed. They will build houses and dwell in them; they
will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. No longer will they build houses and
others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so
will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of
their hands. They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune;
for they will be a people blessed by HaShem, they and
their descendants with them. Before they call I will answer; while they are
still speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the
lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be
the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain," says HaShem.
The wedding at Cana:
The first
day, two hours before the end of the day:
Yochanan (John) 1:35-42
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Yeshua passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of
God!" When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Yeshua.
Turning around, Yeshua saw them following and asked, "What do you
want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher),
"where are you staying?" "Come," he replied, "and you
will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day
with him. It was about the tenth hour. Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one
of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Yeshua. The first
thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have
found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). And
he brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him and said, "You are Simon
son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is
Peter).
I was
wondering if the tenth hour might indicate that Messiah is telling us that the Cana event is happening very close (within two hours) of
the end of the fourth millenium.
The second day:
Yochanan (John) 1:43-51
The next day Yeshua decided to leave for Galilee.
Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me." Philip, like Andrew and
Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote
about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote--Yeshua of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph." "Nazareth!
Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked. "Come and
see," said Philip. When Yeshua saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him,
"Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false." "How
do you know me?" Nathanael asked. Yeshua answered, "I saw you while
you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you." Then
Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."
Yeshua said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree.
You shall see greater things than that." He then added, "I tell you
the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and
descending on the Son of Man."
The third day:
Yochanan (John) 2:1-11
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.
Yeshua' mother was there, And Yeshua and his
disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When
the wine was gone, Yeshua' mother said to him, "They have no more
wine." "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Yeshua replied.
"My time has not yet come." His mother said
to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty
gallons. Yeshua said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so
they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and
take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, And the master of the
banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize
where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside And said,
"Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after
the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till
now." This, the first of his miraculous signs, Yeshua performed at Cana in
Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his
disciples put their faith in him.
"My
time has not yet come" may refer to the fact that His time for glory will
be on the third millenium from when this event took place, the end of the
fourth millenium. If this is prophetical, and I believe that it is, then we
should have the wedding of the Lamb at the end of the seventh millenium.
