Watch Hebrew Date of the Cave Rescue
June 14, 2020
The Cave rescue in Thailand of the 12 boys and their coach on July 8-10, 2018 was like Pentecost. You have the Twelve boys representing the apostles, and the coach representing Christ. The apostles are to come first out of the cave, in that they come out of obscurity. That is they are unknown to the world, then all of a sudden all eyes are on them, the world is watching. This is not all the Christians out there, these are the few that truly believe in Christ and not in themselves for their salvation.
On the day of Pentecost the out pouring of the Holy Spirit occurred on the Apostles in the upper room. We are also awaiting the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The Hebrew date of the cave rescue was Tamuz 25-27, Fourth Hebrew month. Tamuz 25, was the 99th day after the wave-sheaf on the 16th of the first Hebrew month. Note I take wave-sheaf as the day after the special sabbath not the weekly sabbath.
Why not the 50th day for Pentecost instead of the 99th day? Moses is up the mountain for forty six days, that is the forty days plus the six days waiting before he enters the cloud. When he comes down the mountain after this period I take this as the 99th day. There being a few days between going up the mountain and giving the law. Now of course the scriptures do not inform us of this fact.
I know that the Israelites stood afar off and did not hearken to the voice on the fifty day, however shortly after this they did agree to the covenant which Yahweh made with them. Exodus 24:7-8:
“and he taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in the ears of the people, and they say, 'All that which Jehovah hath spoken we do, and obey.' And Moses taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people, and saith, 'Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you, concerning all these things.”{YLT}
It is this covenant that they break by worshiping the golden calves and that is why they are judged, resulting in the death of the 3000. Thus I view this as Pentecost, not the earlier date. This is when the spring wheat would be ready to harvest. It is seven weeks plus 50 days.
You also have the fact that the later rain was not just for the wheat, but also for the wine and the oil, Deu 11:14, Joe 2:23-24. The later rain was for the wheat that had just been planted not to ripen it.
I view the holy spirit coming on the apostles on the 99th day as well, this makes the two events fall on the same Hebrew date. That is the judgement on the Israelites with the death of the 3000, and the coming of the holy spirit and the saving of the 3000. Otherwise they do not line up. Jesus visited the disciples 40 times not 40 consecutive days, and the wait for the spirit was longer than ten days.
The 99th days this year is July 17, 2020, thus watch July 17-19.
