Psalm 119:33-40

ה (Heh) 33 Teach me, Adonai, the way of your laws; keeping them will be its own reward for me. 34 Give me understanding; then I will keep your Torah; I will observe it with all my heart. 35 Guide me on the path of your mitzvot, for I take pleasure in it. 36 Bend my heart toward your instructions and not toward selfish gain. 37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things; with your ways, give me life. 38 Fulfill your promise, which you made to your servant, which you made to those who fear you. 39 Avert the disgrace which I dread, for your rulings are good. 40 See how I long for your precepts; in your righteousness, give me life!

Hey the Fifth letter in the Aleph-Tov, having the numeric value of 5. In Paleo Hebrew the letter looks like a man with his hands raised. The Modern Hebrew, and original name for this letter, is hey, a Hebrew word meaning "behold," as when looking at a great sight. This word can also mean "breath" or "sigh," as one does when looking at a great sight. The meaning of the letter is behold, look, breath, sigh, reveal and revelation from the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out. This letter is a consonant, with an "h" sound, but also used as a vowel with the "eh" sound. When the Greeks adopted this letter it became the epsilon (E-psilon meaning "simple E") with an "eh" sound. This letter is commonly used as a prefix to words to mean "the" as in ha'arets meaning "the land." The use of this prefix is to reveal something of importance within the sentence. The Early Semitic evolved into the Middle Semitic by rotating the letter 90 degrees to the left. This letter then evolved into the late Semitic script that developed into the Modern Hebrew ה. The Middle Semitic was adopted by the Greeks and the Romans to become the E (reversed from its Semitic origin due to the direction of writing). Can also mean brokenness and teshuva, returning to The Most High. One day is like a thousand years” and it’s prophetic significance What does this mean? What is implied when Peter writes, “one day is like a thousand years”. Is this a literal thousand years? We have been taught to believe that; but, as we study, we will realized that it is a key to understanding some of the Bible prophecies. If we look at all the other passages where this word was used with numerals it was translated as “about Mark 5:13 13 Y’shua gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about (hos) two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea. Mark 8:9 9 About (hos) four thousand were there; and He sent them away. First let’s look at the definition of the word (like) in the verse 8 in the Greek and then in Hebrew Like Greek 5613. hós ► Strong's Concordance Hós: as, like as, even as, when, since, as long as Original Word: ὡς Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: hós Phonetic Spelling: (hoce) Short Definition: as, like as, how, while, so that Definition: as, like as, about, as it were, according as, how, when, while, as soon as, so that. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin adverb from hos, Definition As, like as, even as, when, since, as long as NASB Translation about (20), according (2), affected (1), after (2), appear* (1), appeared (1), effect (1), how (20), however* (1), if (10), just (6), just like (1), like (106), like* (1), namely (1), one (2), same way (1), seeing (1), since (2), size (1), so (3), so* (1), though (15), way (1), when (53), whenever* (1), where (1), while (10). Like, Hebrew 3644. Kemo or kamo ► Strong's Concordance Kemo or kamo: like, as, when Part of Speech: adverb; conjunction; substantive; conjunction Transliteration: kemo or kamo Phonetic Spelling: (kem-o') Short Definition: like NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin A pleonastic form of a preposition prefix Definition Like, as, when NASB Translation Alike (1), comparison (1), if (1), like (84), likewise (1), so (1), such (4), such* (1), thus (1), when (1). The word “like and about” (hos), is meant as a comparative phrase. The phrase “as a thousand years” is equally not meant in a literal sense. It alludes to a time period, likened to a thousand years. There is a similar passage comparing a thousand years with a day in Ps 90. Psalm 90:4–6 4 For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night. 5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; in the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew. 6 In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; toward evening it fades and withers away. We can conclude the same for this passage in Psalms as for the passage in 2 Peter. These time periods do not have to be a literal thousand years, although it could be. In order for us to apply this prophetic principle of “one day is like a thousand years” further, we must first find proof in scripture. In the second book of Genesis, we get a good example of the prophetical application and fulfillment of this principle: Genesis 2:17 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” It is no coincidence that those who lived before the Flood died just short of a 1000 years of age. Thus figuratively speaking, Adam, and all his offspring before the flood, died within a “day”—that is, within a thousand years. Can we assume that whenever the word “day” is used, it could mean a thousand years? I don’t think so. It is more complex than that. As always, context is king when interpreting scripture. The Scripture says that the world was created in six days. Was the world actually created in 6000 years? I would not go so far as to say that. Plants were created before the sun and won’t be able to survive for a 1000 years without photosynthesis. Therefore, I support a literal six-day creation. Another example would be the time Yeshua spend in the grave. Those were a literal three days and three nights. We can find many more examples. Both verses Psalm 90 and 2 Peter 3 speaks about the return of our Messiah. Therefore, we can conclude: the phrase “one day is like a thousand years” can only be applied in a prophetic context. It is often said that Genesis 6:3 points to a prophetic time period. It refers to the period of man on earth before Yeshua returns. The calculation is as follows 120 x 50 =6000. The 50 refers to the amount of years of a Jubilee cycle. Only problem is that a Jubilee cycle is only 49 years. Shall we investigate this further? Genesis 6:3 3 Then YHVH said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

How do we calculate a Jubilee? Leviticus 23:15–16 15 ‘You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete Sabbaths. 16 ‘You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to YHVH. It is very important to follow the instructions carefully. We are to commence counting on the first day of the week and end the count on the first day of the week. Take note: the fiftieth day is also the first day of the weekly cycle. This is a pattern for us for the calculation of the Jubilee years. Thus, the 50th year -the Jubilee year – is also the first year of the next sabbatical cycle. Don’t you think it’s awesome to see how the Most High uses the same pattern? I would just like to add this for clarification: If a Jubilee cycle is 50 years, then between the last year of the first cycle and the first sabbatical year of the next cycle, would be eight years to provide for the Jubilee year. This cannot be as we are told in Scripture that a Sabbath Cycle is to be 7 years. How do we apply all we have learned in this study? We have just proven from Scripture that the Jubilee cycle is 49 years instead of 50 years. We also have the prophetic scripture in Gen 6:3. If we apply what we have learned, our calculation of prophetic years would be as follows: 120 x 49 = 5880. We can conclude in saying that one day is like 980 years. Psalm 90:12–13 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may present to you a heart of wisdom. 13 Do return, O YHVH; how long will it be? And be sorry for your servants.

We can only ask the Most High for His wisdom to live our lives according to His plan. Time is short. We have to number our days.  Shema Selah let us hear, listen and obey to His instructions that led us in the good and right way to go! Facebook LIVE video!
