Ezekiel and the Revelation of the 13 Scrolls – Intro Part 2

13 dated scrolls each containing a vision given to the prophet over a period of 25 years whilst he was in the Babylonian Exile (597BCE). TRADITIONAL DATING METHOD: traditionally Chapter 1:V.2-3 being A DESCRIPTIVE DOCET has thrown off all traditional dating methods. By men not taking into consideration that Chapter 1:vs2-3 is the only date NOT affixed by Ezekiel – but a descriptive scribal tab written in the third person has muddled their whole dating method. This leads to the erroneous belief that EZEKIEL BEGAN HIS MINISTRY IN HIS THIRTIETH YEAR, the thirtieth year being in their mind his age NOT the thirtieth year of captivity of King Jehoiachin. They believe his age (30 years old) corresponds to the fifth year of the exile of Jehoiachin (the editorial note of V.2-3 NOT affixed by Ezekiel himself). Commentators edit and combine 1:1 and 1:2-3 to get “it was in the fifth year of the captivity, in the fourth month and the fifth day of the month 4/5/5.” The edit: is the removal of THIRTIETH YEAR because to them that is his age NOT a date; which flies in the face of the rest of Ezekiel completely! Ezekiel 1:1-2 1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month (4/5/30), as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity…(?/5/5). They take the month from verse 1 (Ezekiel; first person) insert it into verse 2 (editorial docket written in the third person; NOT by Ezekiel)….. …..and leave the year behind ending up with 4/5/5! Whereas 8:1 should be first: 6/5/6 written by Ezekiel and predating the KJ/Masortetic start of Ezekiel by 24 years! Ezekiel 8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was SITTING in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Master יהוה fell there upon me. The date is established: 6th year, 6th month, 5th day: 06/05/06! Ezekiel 8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was SITTING in my house…. Ezekiel 4:4-6 4 lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. 5 For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have fulfilled them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days; a day for a year; a day for a year, I have set for you. Ezekiel is instructed to lie down for a total of 430 days! Why is he sitting up in his house in the month of Elul/the 6th month (06/05/06); exactly 14 months after the prophecy of Chapter 1? If you want to keep the chapters as they are in the Masoritic Text and the King Jimmy you have to admit that Ezekiel got up from lying on his side in rebellion to YHWH 10-30 days early! (30X14=420 days) some Jewish calendaration compute 415 days, some no more than 400 days! But Ezekiel was instructed to lie down for a total of 430 days! HE TOTALLY DISOBEYED יהוה LIKE ALL THE FALSE PROPHETS SURROUNDING HIM AND GOT UP 10-30 DAYS EARLY? You have one of two choices: Keep the current non-inspired chapter and verse divisions and conclude that Ezekiel was being disobedient to יהוה and got up from 10-30 days early! He’d had enough of יהוה. Follow the order of the scrolls as dated BY EZEKIEL; NOT MAN which eradicates the problem completely….and will give you the most important revelation to these end times we live in…..יהוה kept this for you and I for this very day! These 13 scrolls, would have been rolled up one of 2 ways and placed into a stone jar depository. Jeremiah 32:10-11, 10 “and I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the money on the s
