anniversary of the event

provision of redemption and
salvation through the coming
Messiah, Jesus

which means “a rehearsal.”

Pouring out of the Holy Spirit
Exodus 32:28
“The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about
three thousand of the people died.”
Acts 2:41
“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about
three thousand were added to their number that day.”
2 Corinthians 3:6
“for the letter (of the Law) kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
“In the Wilderness” Satan had 400 years to spawn
the Nephilim in Canaan
Numbers 13:32-33
“The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there
are of great size. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come
from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we
looked the same to them.”
Giants = Nephilim = The Fallen Ones
The Brass Serpent
Numbers 21
He (King Hezekiah) broke into pieces the bronze snake
Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had
been burning incense to it
2 Kings 18:4
John 3:14-16
“Just as Moses lifted up the snake
in the desert, so the Son of Man
must be lifted up, that everyone
who believes in him may have
eternal life.
For God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life.”
Exodus 17:6
Numbers 20:8
“Strike the Rock, Moses”
“Speak to the Rock, Moses”
Suffering Servant
Triumphant King
1 Cor 10:2-4
that rock was Christ
Matthew 26:31
“I will strike the shepherd…”
1 Thes 4:16
“For the Lord Himself will
descend from heaven with a
shout”
Joshua 10: 12-14
So the sun stood still in the
midst of heaven, and did not
hasten to go down for about
a whole day. And there has
been no day like that, before
it or after it, that the Lord
heeded the voice of a man;
for the Lord fought for Israel.
Why did God kill millions of people in the OT?
Having a correct interpretation of Genesis 6,
and the post-flood Nephilim,
is crucial to understanding the fact that:
… Even when He kills off the entire world with a flood
… And entire cities of people in Canaan!
There was a gene-pool problem that threatened every human on Earth
War was being waged upon the ‘Seed of the Woman’ – the Messiah
Interesting… There were 3 areas that Joshua
failed to completely eradicate all the
Rephaim - descendants of Nephilim
(Joshua 15:13-19 &
throughout the book of Judges)
The Golan Heights, Hebron
(West Bank),
and The Gaza Strip.
Most likely written by Samuel prior to
King David.
A record of occasional deliverers rather than a succession
of governors.
Covers about 450 years from Joshua’s conquest of Canaan.
Boaz = The Lord of the Harvest
& The Kinsman-Redeemer
Naomi = Israel
Ruth = Gentile Bride - Church
“May your house be like
the house of Perez, whom
Tamar bore to Judah”
Ruth 4:12

In order to bring Ruth to Naomi, Naomi had to be exiled from her land
Ruth doesn’t replace Naomi
Ruth learns of Boaz through Naomi
Naomi meets Boaz through Ruth
Boaz had to wait for Ruth to make the move toward Him
Boaz confronts Ruth’s rightful Kinsman & purchases her
The book of Ruth is always read during Pentecost
Revelation ch. 5 depicts the book of Ruth
Boaz was Rahab’s Son
Great Grandparents of David
in Genesis 38 - Counting every 49 Hebrew letters (7 x 7)

throne shall be established forever.”
Psalm 89:29
“His seed also I will make to
endure forever, And his
throne as the days of
heaven.
Psalm 89:35-37
Once I have sworn by My
holiness; I will not lie to David:
His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne as the sun before
Me; It shall be established forever
like the moon, Even like the
faithful witness in the sky.”

Does the Bible have errors?
1 Kings 7:23
“He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits
from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure
around it.”
Diameter = 10 cubits
Circumference = 30 cubits
p = C/D
p = 30 / 10
p = 3 ???
p
Shouldn’t it be:
= 3.14159265358979
But the Hebrew word for circumference (qav) is deliberately misspelled!
The addition of the letter heh, makes the Hebrew word qaveh.
God increases the value of the word ‘circumference’ in 1st Kings by a factor
of 1.0471698113207547169811320754717
Original circumference x factor of increase
= hidden meaning of the circumference
30 cubits x 1.0471698113207547169811320754717
= 31.415094339622641509433 cubits
What does this mean for p ?
Circumference = 31.415094339622641509433
Diameter = 10 cubits
p = C / D
p
p
= 31.415094339622641509433 / 10
= 3.1415094339622641509433
p = 3.14159265358979
47’ 1 ½”
15 times more accurate than
the 22/7 estimate
Accurate to 15 thousandths of an inch!
1 Kings 7:23
What are the odds that this
astonishingly accurate
calculation for p would be in the
only verse in
the Bible that
expresses the
relationship
between a
circumference
and a
diameter?

There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death
