What 4?
For Jesus’ sake! That’s what 4!
Are you up to speed on the two full solar eclipses, crisscrossing over Bald Knob Cross of Peace in southern Illinois, on August 21 (Jesus’ birthday), 2017 and April 8 (the day in the tomb), 2024? Some people even think research supports the notion that Machiventa Melchizedek will return with the second eclipse. See the Topical Study: Bald Knob Cross of Peace and “signs of the times”.
That being said, interesting to note …
The 4000th anniversary of Machiventa’s arrival, during the times of Abraham, is the year 2021.
(93:2.1) It was 1,973 years before the birth of Jesus that Machiventa was bestowed upon the human races of Urantia. His coming was unspectacular; his materialization was not witnessed by human eyes. He was first observed by mortal man on that eventful day when he entered the tent of Amdon, a Chaldean herder of Sumerian extraction. And the proclamation of his mission was embodied in the simple statement which he made to this shepherd, “I am Melchizedek, priest of El Elyon, the Most High, the one and only God.”
(122:8.1) All that night Mary was restless so that neither of them slept much. By the break of day the pangs of childbirth were well in evidence, and at noon, August 21, 7 B.C., with the help and kind ministrations of women fellow travelers, Mary was delivered of a male child. Jesus of Nazareth was born into the world, was wrapped in the clothes which Mary had brought along for such a possible contingency, and laid in a near-by manger.
The 400th anniversary of Thanksgiving is the year of our Lord 2021.
“Nearly all of what historians have learned about one of the first Thanksgiving featscomes from a single eyewitness report: a letter written in December 1621 by Edward Winslow, one of the 100 or so people who sailed from England aboard the Mayflower in 1620 and founded Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. William Bradford, Plymouth’s governor in 1621, wrote briefly of the event in Of Plymouth Plantation, his history of the colony, but that was more than 20 years after the feast itself.
“According to this account (elements of which continue to be debated by historians, especially regarding the presence and role of Native Americans), the historic event didn’t happen on the fourth Thursday in November, as it does today—and it wasn’t known as Thanksgiving. In fact, it took place over three days sometime between late September and mid-November in 1621, and was considered a harvest celebration.” (history.com)
The 40th anniversary of the death of the world’s interracial prophet, Bob Marley, is the year 2021.
“I and I” is the common way of speaking among those practicing the Rastafarian religion, which was globally popularized by the music of Bob Marley. The phrase is used as a way of emphasizing the importance of developing a relationship with the indwelling spirit of God, which is central to Rastifarian religion and culture. Consider what one interviewer got as last words from Bob Marley to his fans:
“The voice to the people that love life, inside of them that talks to them, you know, that is the voice that these people must listen to. Because in everything you’re going to do, there’s a wrong way and a right way. And if you listen good, you will know the right way. You know? Because there’s a voice inside talking to everyone … seeing … seeing …”
The 4th Easter after the first eclipse was on the 4th day of the 4th month in the year 2021.
How 4-tunate is all of that?
