Today has been a very peaceful day. I slept in this morning and had a late lunch. A few hours later the sun is setting - the days are short but they're getting longer and longer.
Seder Olam
I have a book called "Ancient Seder Olam: A Christian Translation of the 2000 year old scroll". Seder Olam means "Order of the World" or "Progression of Time". It's an ancient scroll that accounts for time from creation, using scripture passages. If it is accurate, we can account how many years from creation when events took place.
I cam across a certain passage that really caught my attention. Maybe it was the bold print that was chosen for certain words:
Ooooh, facinating! But of course I want to go to the source. Certain choice words are used like "rapture" and "invasion". I would like some clarity on the exact words used. Thankfully, I can visit sephora.com and read the original language.
It took me a little to find the passage.
A little copy/paste, a little chatGPT and I have a literal transation from the original language. Some slight differences:
"And in the second year of Ahaziah, Elijah was hidden and was not seen until the arrival of King Messiah. Then he will appear and be hidden again, and he will not be seen until the coming of Gog and Magog. And now he writes down the deeds of all generations."
Connection to the Gospel
What is fascinating for anyone familiar with the gospel is this passage in Matthew 17, where Yeshua says "Elijah has already come":
| Matthew 17 | Mark 9 |
|---|---|
| The disciples asked Him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Jesus replied, "Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things, but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist. | And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected? But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.” |
What a fascinating connection! And what a fascinating time we live in, where we have access to these ancient scrolls, translated from Hebrew and visible on my phone while laying in bed, reading a book.
Bless the Most High!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
