Ascension Sky!

While they were staring into heaven as He went up, suddenly two men stood with them in white clothing.  They said, "Men of Galilee, why do you keep standing here staring into heaven?  This Yeshua, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into heaven."    Acts 1:10~11

Yesterday I stood and stared into heaven!  I was outside around 5PM and looked up at the sky, or rather, the sky almost seemed to have come down to meet the earth and brought my glance upwards to see a glorious cloud spotted dome with the sapphire blue of heaven making a supernatural glow and lighting up the early evening.

It seemed to be announcing something special and then I remembered!!

It is the 40th day of the omer and the day that Yeshua went up to heaven as I just wrote about in a post the other day!!

It was so wonderful to stand beneath this Ascension Day Sky and then, I saw eagles circling above!!

A majestic sign of God`s Heavenly love and reminder to be prepared!!

In the scriptures these next 10 days were the days that the disciples waited in expectation for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  On that day 3000 souls were saved! May we too wait expectedly and be in One accord, in one place and ready to receive on Shavuot!! May all our unsaved loved ones receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and know their Salvation in Yeshua!  May those of us who know Him be brought together as One in the rushing of the Ruach HaKodesh wind!!

Blessings and Love! Happy counting!

Shabbat Shalom everyone!

Love,♡

Shayndel/Joanne!

PS I am also reminded of this verse in the book of Exodus, and the revelation that this description of God`s feet tells us that who could that have been standing on the Sapphire stone of Heaven!! Indeed, Yeshua!!!   

They saw the God of Israel, and under His feet was something like a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the very heavens.  

Exodus 24:10 

Grilled Fish and 40 Days!

Yeshua said to them, "Come, have breakfast."  

None of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are you?"--knowing it was the Lord.   

וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ בֹּאוּ אִכְלוּ אֲרֻחַת הַבֹּקֶר וְאֵין 

   גַּם־אֶחָד בַּתַּלְמִידִים אֲשֶׁר מְלָאוֹ לִבּוֹ לִשְׁאֹל מִי אָתָּהכִּי יָדְעוּ אֲשֶׁר הוּא הָאָדוֹן׃

 John 21:12 (English, Hebrew)

 

As we count up the Omer, soon we are getting to 40 days, a day in Hebrew calendar called MEM B`Omer.  Mem (מ) מם is the 13th letter of the Hebrew alphabet and the number `40` in Hebrew counting.

The 40th day from after Passover is the day that Yeshua went up to Heaven to sit at the right Hand of the Father!＊  Isn`t it exciting as these 40 days (we are in day 38 today as I write) were the days He would have been appearing to the Disciples. All of the appearances He made to them  after His Resurrection were in the counting of the omer days that we are in now, including  fellowship with them, opening up the Scriptures to them, and making them breakfast.  

So when they got out onto the land, they saw a charcoal fire with fish placed on it, and bread.      

John 21:9

Hence the `grilled fish` in the post title!!

It is exciting times! As we await Shavuot and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit afresh, may we be ready! One bride for our Bridegroom.  Its really happening as Jew and Gentile are coming together as the Father calls us to be One in Messiah!!

I also wanted to share a post I wrote this time last year.  When I visited Israel and had a `breakfast with Yeshua` experience, which made the scripture come alive to me! Photo above: Breakfast with Yeshua, Sea of Galillee (2019).  You can read that post HERE if you would like, hope it blesses you and that we will meet Him this year for new revelation, and even for grilled fish!

 LeChayiim (To LIFE!), as we count up to the appointed `Moadim` of Shavout!!

Much Love in Yeshua. 

Look forward to those 153 fish and more in the catch this year as many many more than that turn their hearts to Yeshua, Jesus in a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit to become `One new man` in Messiah this Shavuot and Pentecost!!

Happy Counting!! 

Love, ❤️

Shayndel/Joanne (And a personal PS as I was researching the Scriptures of when Yeshua appeared to the disciples during these days of the Omer, I saw that one of the woman is `Joanna` (Luke 24:9~10)＊.   Though I must have seen it before, I was excited to note that  `Joanne` in the scriptures! And in Hebrew N.T., written as Yochana (there is no `J` in Hebrew), like this: 

יוחנה

2.  ＊Scriptures referred to about Yeshua`s ascension, 

Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, Acts 1:9, et. al.! 

וַיְהִי בְּבָרֲכוֹ אׂתָם וַיִּפָּרֵד מֵעֲלֵיהֶם וַיִּנָּשֵׂא הַשָּׁמָיְמָה 

Luke 24:51, Hebrew   

3.The verse in Hebrew with `Joanna`! , Luke 24:10

וְאֵלֶּה הֵן אֲשֶׁר הִגִּידוּ אֶל־הַשְּׁלִיחִים אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה מִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וְיוֹחָנָה וּמִרְיָם אֵם יַעֲקׂב וְהָאֲחֵרוֹת׃

 

3. last PS if you made it this far thank you for reading! OH, and just to point out I didn`t actually have fish, but rather yogurt and honey (milk and honey, for the land of milk and honey !)at my breakfast on the Galilee!

 

Breakfast with Yeshua

"Come, have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?"--knowing it was the Lord.  John 21:12 (TLV)

(photo:  Sea of Tiberias (Galilee), taken last May around this time!  story of post to follow!! Just holding the place for Him!)

adding on this journal entry:
Breakfast at the Galilee Encounter
John 21 "Come, have breakfast".

On the last day at the Galilee I decided to have breakfast down by the water.  All the other days of the tour I always loved being with the tour and had breakfast with everyone in the dining room, but this day I saw out the glass doors to and felt called to bring my tray and sit out overlooking the Sea of Galilee.
I encountered "a man" when carrying my tray to go out of the hotel breakfast room.  He took my tray and he escorted me out of the doors and I showed him the spot and he brought me down along with the placemat and accoutrements (fork, silverware, etc).  He set everything up for me and I thanked Him. I told Him his heart was like God.
and spontaneously said that I love Him and all the people of Israel.

He said, "We love you."

I think he was Yeshua, or as Andrea said when I told her the story, God the Father!


Adding on again for my notes and reflection to remember:
When I posted this it struck me that this occurred during the count of the Omer, and I was able to figure out the calendar day, from looking at my journal of the trip, and looking at my Omer counting notes, and indeed it was just a few days before Mem B'Omer, thus it was within the 40 days of when Yeshua appeared to His disciples!!  It excited me to think that even more this really could have been a visit from Yeshua there on the Galilee for that moment , a manifestation of the LORD in the form of the man from the hotel who seemed to just have appeared and escorted me to the sea!!!  Also just to note the way He said "We" I felt like it was Yeshua, and he was referring to Himself, the Father , and the Holy Spirit!! At the same time the simple meaning that "We" referred to the people of Israel also gave me much joy in my heart!  Thank you Yeshua for that wonderful exquisite breakfast with You!!
