By the time that climate change has advanced to the point where the very specific constants required for the successful growth of coffee are no longer present, the barley cycle will also be so radically out of kilter that a James Malm and his teachings are no longer possible. Maybe at that time, if he is still alive, he will see the wisdom of conjunction, and Hillel II. <br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-61299194321152742332019-03-09T05:58:26.973-08:002019-03-09T05:58:26.973-08:00james Malm wrote: "..This explains the 12th m...james Malm wrote: "..This explains the 12th month or offering day issue between them; but still does not meet the command for all persons to be present at Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast, which necessitates the cutting of the sheaf immediately outside the temple.

It is symbolic of the resurrection of Christ! <br />Where was Christ resurrected from? A tomb immediately outside the walls of Jerusalem! <br />Where was the Sheaf cut, throughout the temple period? Just outside the walls of Jerusalem! <br />To cut it anywhere else is to break God’s command, and obscures the true meaning! See more below.."<br /><br />Where does James get this stuff? And where in the Bible does it say: "To cut it anywhere else is to break God’s command"????????? What command???????<br /><br />Leviticus 23:10 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:"<br /><br />Who cuts? Not the priest! The people (peeps) do! Do all the peeps live in Jerusalem? No! The peeps live in Jerusalem area and "everywhere else!"<br /><br />And the peeps don't all cut it at the same time; they cut it at different times, and then what? They bring the wave sheafs to the priest in advance of when the priest must wave it. Duh!!!!!!!!<br /><br />The peeps weren't breaking God's command when they "cut it anywhere else!"<br /><br />What happens when Satan causes drought year(s) and there is no ripe barley anywhere?

Whether this was the intended time is another matter.<br /><br />1Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. <br /><br />Typology suggests that it should be cut on the mochorath - around the same time-period of Christ’s resurrection.<br /><br />Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow [mochorath] after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. <br /><br />“In analyzing the 33 uses of the word mochorath in scripture, it appears that it essentially means the next normal period of wakefulness. Numbers 11:32 says: And the people stayed up all that day, all that night, and all the next day [mochorath], and gathered the quail... Clearly all the next day follows the night, which would have been completely unnecessary if mochorath began with sunset as some have claimed. Additionally there are five verses (Ex. 32:6; Judg.6:38; 21:4; 1 Sam. 5:3,4) which describe people rising early during this time period called mochorath, and yet this is 8-10 hours or more after the Hebrew day begins (not terribly early if mochorath started at sunset)” (Sanford Beattie, “Resolving the Passover Controversy”, pp.9-10).<br /><br />But it appears it was not to be elevated until Sunday morning Roman time, probably around the time of the morning sacrifice.<br /><br />After sun-set, as we know, is the first day of the week in Jewish time; hence I said Sunday which is not technically correct according to Roman time; I should have said the first day of week - the first of the sabbaths (Matt 28:1).Yes and No to HWAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-54790535554357884962019-03-08T15:27:57.110-08:002019-03-08T15:27:57.110-08:00"Oats, peas, beans and barley grow." - a..."Oats, peas, beans and barley grow." - a song from the old children's show <i>Friendly Giant</i>.<br />R.L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-20548243277280589692019-03-08T15:19:59.908-08:002019-03-08T15:19:59.908-08:00James D.

James Malm's wife then got into SACRED NAMES NONSENSE and divorced him for not going along with it too, and James Malm got into CALENDAR CONFUSION. Having never paid attention in the Worldwide Church of God, James Malm also GARBLED THE GOSPEL. Now, the apostle Paul's double curse will catch up with James Malm. Some sort of triple curse will catch up with those who are foolish enough to listen to the “odd things” that James Malm teaches. When people reject what Herbert W. Armstrong had taught, and listen to James Malm's nonsense instead, and then imagine that they are finally “thinking for themselves,” that is all part of the CURSE.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-52534757970045588292019-03-08T15:04:21.436-08:002019-03-08T15:04:21.436-08:00Yes and No to HWA - this would make the wave sheaf...Yes and No to HWA - this would make the wave sheaf offering on Saturday night, not Sunday.<br />However on Sunday morning according to one Gospel account, Jesus had not been accepted yet, which implies Sunday morning, since it seems He was accepted shortly after.<br /><br />So why don't the COGs celebrate the wave sheaf offering since they say it points to Christ?<br />Seems very inconsistent to me, but then I did not spend 6 months in a small town public library learning all these things.TLAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-37006207962134622602019-03-08T14:50:05.391-08:002019-03-08T14:50:05.391-08:00Easter is actually calculated using the Paschal mo...Easter is actually calculated using the Paschal moon.

I looked up the dates, and this year is basically the latest it can be with Passover on April 19, which is good Friday to Christians, and then Easter Sunday on April 21, which would be in the days of unleavened bread for the old WCG. They always coincided from my memory, at least approximately.<br /><br />I don't keep these Jewish or christian days any longer, but I always pay attention to the timing of them because it relates to the beginning of spring (cycles of the moon). I note that this year in the beginning of March there is still snow on the ground where I live, whereas other years I might be planning to cut my grass soon. I won't be planting any seeds until quite late this years. <br /> <br />Maybe this idiot should join up with Wade Cox and they can start celebrating the new moons or full moons or whatever, and of course more trips to Israel just to make sure everyone isn't lying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-67795619853185139192019-03-08T11:07:41.789-08:002019-03-08T11:07:41.789-08:00James writes:
