2 Esdras is definitely my favourite book! This book says so much. It is a blessing Yahuah has revealed it to us in these end days.
The english word "week" is the hebrew translated word "shabua". The exact definition of a shabua in the hebrew concordance is "a period of seven days". The hebrew word "period" is SYNONOMOUS with and acceptably translated also as "phase". As in the 4 lunar PHASES of the moon, which perfectly track 4 periods/phases of 7 day periods in the heavens. This is why Enoch 73:3 in the aramaic translation says: "the sun gives its light to the moon, in PERIODS (phases) OF SEVEN DAYS". The moons light determines the week.
So in the book of 4 Ezra, every time God tells Ezra to fast for "a period of seven days", this is the english translated word for "week". The 7th day is defined as a "moedim" in Leviticus 231-4. Meaning the 7th day sabbath is an appointed set apart holy meeting time with God. Moedim but be appointed by the moon, according to Psalm 104:19 and Ecclesiasticus 43:6-8.
Notice that each time God commands Ezra to fast for a period of 7 days, the 7th day is always the day that God meets and speaks with Ezra (through an angel) to give him further instruction. Whether you realized it or not, 6 separate times in the book of 4 Ezra, God asks Ezra to fast and pray for a period of 7 day increments (weeks).
This happens in chapters 5:13, 6:35, 9:23, 12:39, and chapter 12:51.
But what is truly a revelation from God takes place in the 10th chapter, verse 59.
This is where God tells Ezra to STOP counting periods of 7 days, and instead observe a 2 day break, seperate from the period of seven days. On the 2nd of these two days, God speaks to Ezra in a dream at night. God did not meet with Ezra on the 1st of these 2 days. But God had a meeting time with Ezra on the 2nd day. This day was New moon day. Although scripture does not call it new moon day in this book, what plays out next reveals that it was in fact NMD.
after Ezra obeys this 2 day stoppage of counting "sevens", and the 2 day period ends, God tells Ezra to START counting sevens (weeks) again. Which Ezra does for the next two sets of 7 days (2 weeks). This is laid out in chapters 12:39 and 12:51.
After these 2 weeks (directly after new moon day) Ezra says in chapter 13:1 that he had a dream at night. So directly after the 7th day of that 2nd week after NMD, Ezra has a dream, which was a vision God gave him. So what this is telling us is that THE VERY NEXT DAY after the last sabbath (seven), God is now meeting with Ezra on the 1st day of the week. Up until this point, this is the first time in the book of 4 Ezra that God meets with him on a day other than sabbath or new moon day. So what is so special about this 1st day of the week that God sends a vision to Ezra? The next verses reveal what day is taking place. . .
In chapter 13, on this day, Ezra is told he will be told many "wonderous things" in 3 days. On the 3rd day a voice came out of a bush to Ezra. Ezra is then told to write the law for 40 days (because the torah was destroyed in the burning of the 1st temple).
This happened on the 16th day of the month.
Who else in s ripture history was told he would receive "many wonderous things", would be "spoken to by a burning bush", and would be asked to seperate himself from the population for 40 days in order to receive the law?
Moses!
In Exodus 34:10, God tells Moses on the 16th day of the 3rd month, the day Israel received the law on my sinai, the feast of weeks according to the book of Jubilees, that he would receive many wonderous things. Moses was spoken to by a burning bush. Moses was told to seperate himself and go up to the mountain to receive and write the law for 40 days.
What is amazing is that Ezra is being told to do the exact same thing, to receive and write the law, since the scriptures were burned during the destruction of the 1st temple. Ezra was given scribes and told to re write the law for 40 days, just like Moses. On tje exact same day Moses was told the same commands.
But let's back track, encase anyone missed it. Ezra was told to STOP COUNTING WEEKS OF 7 DAYS at the end of the month, and observe 2 days of sleep, and that he couldnt start counting days of seven (sabbath weeks) until these two days ended! The book of 4 Ezra testifies that new moon day (and what some call "translation day", were NOT counted in the sevens (sabbath weeks).
What's even more revealing, is that the book of 2nd Baruch does the EXACT SAME THING! If you recall, Baruch is also told to fast and pray for periods of "sevens" (translated in english as "weeks"). And Baruch too rests for a period of 2 days right at the new noon day, before starting his count of sevens again after the NMD.
So Ezra celebrates the Feast of weeks on the 16th day of the 3rd month, and receives the law on this day, just as Moses did on this day according to Jubilees chapter 1.
Jubilees chapter 6 says Noah celebrated this feast at this same time. Chapters 14, 15 and 16 say that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Levi celebrated the feast of weeks on the 16th day of the 3rd month.
Reading it!
I'm truly glad The Son of Man revealed that YHUH(He will destroy) is not the true Heavenly Father
I pray that those in the Hebraic Movement come out of her and repent for your wicked ways of YHUH
