Tu B’Shevat – New Year of the Trees

Tu B’Shevat is a Hebrew word that means the 15th day of the month of Shevat. This year that falls on January 28, 2021. What a beautiful full Moon!! This on the Hebrew calendar is the New Year of the Trees.  This day marks the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle. Leviticus 19:23-25 lay out instructions of how to keep the tree uncircumcised (too young to bear fruit) for the first 3 years, fruit given to priests in the 4th year and on the 5th year and then they can harvest the fruit.

2018 and 2019 saw SUPER BLOOD MOONS on Tu B’Shevat, both years! The astronomers call the ‘triple’ super moons a “Grand Coincidence”, but they were not ever looking at the spiritual significance. This was like a ‘giant stop sign in the heavens’, a sign to the Church to understand the times we are living in right now.

2021 will see FOUR Super-moons in a row!!! March 28 (Nisan 15 – PASSOVER), April 27 (Iyar 15 -2ND PASSOVER), May 26 (Sivan 15) and June 24 (Tammuz 14). None of them fit into the spotlight of New Year of the Trees. But since there are 4 super-moons in a row, this is a “GRAND Grand Coincidence”. What is the Hebrew word for ‘coincidence’? There is none. In Jewish thinking, everything means something.

Since the Super Blue Blood Moon of 2018, I have seen more signs in the heavens. Keep looking up – God has signs in the heavens for the Last Days that we are living in right now!

This is the last Tu B’Shevat before the Shemittah Year begins September 7, 2021 and ends September 26, 2022. This is the Sabbatical Rest for the Land and there will be no working of the ground that entire year. The word Shemittah means “release”.

Leviticus 25:1-7 give instruction for this Sabbath Rest for the land. Verse 2 reads, ” “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to the LORD.”

The Shemittah of 2008 stands out in history. Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has taught much on the Mystery of the Shemittah**. One statement stands out to me, “Sign of the Shemittah means the nation is under judgment”. That year there was a financial implosion on Elul 29, the date marking the beginning of the Shemittah year. That day in 2008 marks the worst stock market loss in history, a plunge of 777.67.

I will be writing more about the Shemittah later as God gives me revelation. But I am convinced that 2021 will mirror 2008 in many ways!! Both were marked with National Judgment.

**(2017) New chapters added! The best-selling author of The Harbinger presents a fascinating look at the Sabbath year mandated by the Torah—and its prophetic significance for us today. Learn what the “pattern of sevens” reveals about world events including the Great Depression; the attacks on September 11, 2001; the stock market crash of 2015; and more.

Tu B’Shevat – New Year of the Trees

Leviticus 19:23, ‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten. (24)  ‘But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a praise to the LORD. (25)  ‘And in the fifth year you may eat its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am the LORD your God.’

Trees are mentioned several times in the Bible, for many different things. In the Garden, there was a Tree of Knowledge  that they were never to eat from. The Tree of Life they were to eat from and live forever. The Olive Tree was used to tell Noah that it was time for Noah to prepare to leave the Ark.

Psalm 1:3,  speaks of a blessed man, “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”

Trees can represent nations. Jesus said in Luke 21:29, “Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees”. The Fig Tree represents Israel and all the trees are the Last Days nations of prophecies.

  • Vine represents Israel’s Spiritual Privileges
  • Fig Tree represents Israel’s National Privileges
  • Olive Tree represents Israel’s Religious Privileges

2018 and 2019 saw SUPER BLOOD MOONS on Tu B’Shevat, both years! The astronomers call the ‘triple’ super moons a “Grand Coincidence”, but they were not ever looking at the spiritual significance. This was like a ‘giant stop sign in the heavens’, a sign to the Church to understand the times we are living in right now.

The Triple Super Moons of Dec 3, 2017, Jan 1, 2018 and Jan 31, 2018 were all extremely prophetic.  https://mbostrom2.com/2018/01/21/supermoon-triad-1-of-3/, https://mbostrom2.com/2018/01/31/super-blue-blood-moon/ . The last of the 3 was a Super Blue Blood Moon on Tu B’Shavet, the New Year of the Trees.

The Triple Super Moon of 2019 was the first of 3 super moons in a row and was called a SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON. And it was on the New Year of the Trees! https://mbostrom2.com/2019/01/18/super-wolf-blood-moon-of-2019-pt-1/, https://mbostrom2.com/2019/01/19/super-wolf-blood-moon-of-2019-pt-2/

So what prophetic nations of the Last Days are we supposed to be watching? The next war on God’s Day Timer is found in Ezekiel 38, known as the Gog and Magog War.  Russia, Turkey, Iran are the main nations and are currently in the news every day!

Luke 21:29 (VOICE) (continuing with a parable) “Look over there at that fig tree—and all the trees surrounding it. (30) When the leaves break out of their buds, nobody has to tell you that summer is approaching; it’s obvious to you.”

Summer is the hottest part of the year, and symbolically represents extreme presence of danger, times of war.

 

 

Super Blue Blood Moon 3 of 3

This was the third Super Moon of the Triad. They were back-to-back starting December 2/3, 2017, January 1,  2018 and January 31, 2018. This was highly unusual and caused many of us to “Wake Up” and  “Look Up!” My husband and I viewed this heavenly appearance from our front yard. Below is a photo from my iPhone Sky View app. You will see the moon is HUUUGE and it is in the claws of Cancer, the Crab. We sat in our car with the seat warmers on because it was a beautiful 45 degrees her on the Gulf Coast of Texas. The sight was beautiful but we never had a view of the Blood red color of the Eclipsed Moon.

Jan 31 2018 SuperBlueBlood Moon in Cancer the Crab

Cancer the Crab according to E.W. Bullinger’s  classic book, The Witness of the Stars, tells the story of “Messiah’s redeemed possession held fast“. This sign connects with the Tribe of Issachar, whose tribe is known for an “understanding of the times”. I Chronicles 12:32, “From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.” (NLT)

Below is the second photo of the night I took at 6am CST. It is Libra, the Scales. Bullinger wrote this represents “The Redeemer’s atoning work, or the price deficient balanced by the price which covers.” The Hebrew name is Mozanaim, “the scales, weighing” (Daniel 5:27) Balanced in Libra’s weights is Jupiter, which in Hebrew is Tzedek, and means ‘righteousness‘. This is the King planet, representing King David and Israel. Below Libra is the planet Mars. In Hebrew it is Ma’Adim,  “the red one” and historically has been known as the Planet of War by the Romans and Greeks because it was named after their god of war.

Jan 31 2018 The Scales Jupiter and Mars

What is the full significance of these heavenly appearances? Libra with Jupiter and Mars is not as unusual as the Super Moon Triad, but still amazing to see the heaven’s declare the glory of the Lord. Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.” (God’s Word Translation)

As we get closer to a prophetic happening, the signs in the heavens will be bigger and closer together, just as when we travel by auto to a destination.

The third moon of the Triad of Super Moons has caused a world-wide stir to look up into the heavens. I think the greatest significance is how it fell on the Hebrew New Year of the Trees, Tu B’Shevat or the 15th of the month of Shevat. This new year can be found in Leviticus 19:23-25, ” When you come to the land and you plant any tree, you shall treat its fruit as forbidden; for three years it will be forbidden and not eaten. In the fourth year, all of its fruit shall be sanctified to praise the L-RD. In the fifth year, you may eat its fruit.”

Israel is symbolically referred to as the fig tree, Hosea 9:12, Jeremiah 24:3-10; 29:16-17. In Matthew 24:32-34 and Luke 21:29-32, we see Jesus pointing to signs in the fig tree (Israel) and the other trees (prophetic last days nations).

Jesus told us several times to Watch and Pray, but never does He tell us to speculate. I will continue to watch the signs in the heavens and praise the Creator who planned the greatest story in the Universe, named each star and set each course.
