Double Confirmation of Meeting With Thomas

5 April 2012. Renamed & Corrected 11 April 2012

By Mark Farquharson

The pattern that I am following is what happened after Jesus’ resurrection. It is the pattern that is important not the actual timing of events. Thus I am looking for signs of these events, which will show were we are in terms of the pattern.

What happened on the 4 April 2012, I take as double confirmation of Jesus’ meeting with Thomas and the other disciples. That is it is a sign of that meeting, and were we are in terms of the pattern. I have mentioned the waiting for Thomas in at least two previous journal entries. After Jesus’ resurrection, he meet with the disciples that day, however Thomas was not with them. After eight days he meet with them again and Thomas was with them. It was sometime after the eight days when Jesus told then to herald the evangel. Refer to this previous entry for more on that: After Resurrection Disciples Told to Herald Evangel

On the 4 April I was on one of my walks, during these walks I usually do get some signs. I saw this road sign “Church of the Nazarene.” Thus I decided to go down that road, however I could not find the church. Looping around I cam back to the sign, and went down the road again. When I got to the intersection which had the shops I decided to give up and go down that road. Just after I had turned into the road I noticed it across the street, next to the shops. I crossed the road and noticed that the shop closest to the church was “St Thomas Opportunity Shop.”

At the time of Jesus’ crucifixion, Pilate write a title on the cross:

John 19:19 Now Pilate writes a title also, and places it on the cross. Now it was written, "Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews." {CLV}

Jesus was a Nazarene because in his childhood he stayed in Nazareth. Thus the church can be a sign of the cross, and the shop was named after Thomas, linking the two together.

I did not go into the church, but I do go into the shop. Outside I noticed that they had a picture of St Thomas Church and the address. Going inside again I asked how to get to the church. The woman explained where it was and said it was next to a Samoan church. She also said that a service was on now. I take that as a sign that the meeting with Thomas was on now.

Thus I followed her directions and came to the church. I went inside, the service was over and had a look around before leaving. I did not talk to anyone there except I think I said hi to someone.

Samoan, is similar to the name “Samson” who was a Nazarite. This does not mean he was from Nazareth. It means a person who has taken a vow to be set apart for God’s service. However it is similar to Nazarene and Jesus is in his Father’s, God’s service. Thus the Samson church can be a sign of Jesus the Nazarene, which was next to St Thomas Church, thus the second confirmation.

The Passover Conference was on the 31 March - 1 April. I take this as mean that a type of Passover was close to that date. Last year I ascended a mount which represented the river of life flowing down the mount on the new earth. I take it as a sign for this year and the date of the resurrection 30 March 2012. On the day of Jesus’ resurrection he ascended to heaven {John 20:16-17}. The Passover Conference itself I take as when Jesus meet with the disciples later that day.

The meeting with Thomas and the other disciples I take as the 4 April given the signs, even thou it was not after eight days. After this Jesus meet some of the disciples while they were fishing. It is some time after this that the body will be told to Herald.

There is also the pattern of Jesus at 12, when he visited the temple with his parents at the time of Passover. While the scripture says they came for festival of the Passover, which is one day, they would have most likely stayed for Unleavened Bread which is seven days, that is why it says “finishing the days” the scripture below.

Luke 2:41-43 And His parents went year by year into Jerusalem, to the festival of the Passover." And when He came to be twelve years old, at their going up into Jerusalem according to the custom of the festival, and finishing the days, at their return the Boy Jesus remains behind in Jerusalem, and His parents know it not, {CLV}

With the Passover on the 28 March, the feast of Unleavened Bread would have been 29 March - 4 April. The boy Jesus was left behind for three days before they returned.

Luke 2:46 And it occurred, after three days they found Him in the sanctuary, seated in the midst of the teachers, hearing them, as well as inquiring of them." {CLV}

The three days would then be 5-7 April, with after three days being the 8 April. Which makes the 5-8 April a watch period.

Luke 2:48-49 And perceiving Him, they were astonished. And His mother said to Him, "Child, why do you thus to us? Lo! your father and I painfully sought you." And He said to them, "Why is it that you sought Me? Had you not perceived that I must be among the things which are My Father's? {CLV}

It is time for the faithful, the members of the body to be among the things which are Our Father’s.

The time of the Conference does correspond to Palm Sunday, when Jesus rode the donkey, with people waving palm branches. This could imply a connection to feast of Tabernacles (palm branches--Lev. 23:40). However this would be incorrect, because the conference was called Passover, not Tabernacles and the feast period that we are entering is not Tabernacles, it is Trumpets. I connect the timing with a type of Passover close to that weekend, like Easter which is on the weekend closest to first Passover.

At the time of the St. Louis conference last year Dr Jones awoke with the revelation that "Hezekiah is dead; long live Manasseh." This connects with Jesus at 12 because Manasseh started to reign when he was 12 and this is the pattern the body is to follow.

The reign starting on the Day of Atonement in 2011, connects with the fortieth jubilee from when Jesus was twelve at the temple. A jubilee is the fiftieth year, 39 Jubilees are 1950 years. Added another 49 years to get to the fortieth jubilee and you come to the year 2011 from when Jesus was 12. However the Jubilee is not declare until the Day of the Atonements:

Leviticus 25:9 and thou hast caused a trumpet of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month; in the day of the atonements ye do cause a trumpet to pass over through all your land; {YLT}

Which last year was on the 8 October. Since Jesus was at the Temple at Passover, one could then assume that one has to wait for the actual first Passover, which is Easter weekend. Then again if you await the Unleavened Bread {9-15 April} and the three days {16-18 April} you get about the 19 April.

However one could think one has to wait for a type of Passover, but not actual First Passover. Taking the mount as a sign of resurrection for this year 30 March indicating the Passover was on the 28 March. Taking into account Unleavened Bread 29 March - 4 April and the three days 5-7 April, you get the 8 April, for when Jesus’ parents find him. But based on when the disciples were told to herald, the dates do not match. The 8 April matching with the after 8 days, when Jesus was manifested, but they were told sometime after that to Herald.

The 30 March this year I am also taking as the end date for the many day journey that I have covered in previous entries, that was represent by two walks that ended in a church at the altar.

Later watch dates are the 14 April 2012, being two cleansing cycles from the end date of the tenth anniversary of a prayer campaign. Two cleansing cycles from the start date brings you to the 31 March 2012. There is also a watch date of the 11 April, being two cycles from the start of the prophetic year.
