=== Three Times a Year Window Opens (01:59) ===

[00:00:00]  Tell us about a little bit about the blessings of those who stand with Israel.
[00:00:06]  And what do you think of the Jewish calendar?
[00:00:11]  I find it one of the great study aids for me.
[00:00:13]  What do you think?
[00:00:14]  And Jim, I know we're almost out of time, so I'll say this quickly.
[00:00:18]  The Bible lets us know, is there not an appointed time?
[00:00:22]  The word appointed in Hebrew is the word Moadim.
[00:00:25]  And what that means on God's calendar, God is God 24-7.
[00:00:29]  We know that.
[00:00:30]  He is the same God every moment of every day.
[00:00:33]  And yet the prophet says, call upon the Lord while he is near.
[00:00:38]  Well, what does that mean?
[00:00:39]  On these appointed times, you know, we're talking about Malachi chapter 3.
[00:00:44]  I'll open the windows of heaven.
[00:00:46]  God says, return to me, I'll return to you.
[00:00:48]  This, and it's all in there.
[00:00:50]  Malachi chapter 3, the greater teaching of that, and every Jew knows this, is to the Gentiles.
[00:00:57]  Because if you look at Malachi chapter 3, it's talking about the quick return of the Messiah.
[00:01:03]  When Jesus first returned, first coming, he was here 33 years.
[00:01:07]  He'll come as a thief in the night.
[00:01:09]  So I teach on all this.
[00:01:11]  Why is this important?
[00:01:12]  Three times a year, we come before the Lord and we don't come empty-handed.
[00:01:18]  Those three times, Passover, Resurrection Sunday, Shavuot, Pentecost, Sukkot, Feast of Tabernacles, three times a year, God has a window ready to open up over us.
[00:01:33]  The word window in Hebrew is the word Yeshod, which means a funnel from the throne and the power of God to your knee.
[00:01:42]  Three times a year, this window opens up and then it closes right now as we're with you.
[00:01:50]  We're in a 30-day grace period, Jim, of coming out of Pentecost, Shavuot.
[00:01:55]  The window right now, right now, right now is open.
