Coming back around this a second time. So good. Also seems like a clear re-run of the miraculous catch of Luke 5: 1-11. Interested to hear your thoughts on the implications of that.
Hi Chad! Very nice your video! Again giving me good support for my studies. It is very interesting how the readings of the third Sunday of Easter connect, especially the one from John and Acts with the conversion of Saul. We can see two restorations: that of Peter, who before denied the savior for fear of dying, but after being restored is killed for being a witness of Christ. And also Saul, who previously persecuted Christ in order to put an end to his message, but then is restored by Christ himself and becomes a preacher of the Gospel.
Chad, I don't know how I missed this teaching but I was blessed to find it this morning and share my quiet time with you and (John 21). Thank you for the link to the article on the 153 fish and thank you for your excellent teaching! I have a different perspective to offer on the 153 fish (not of my own invention). Noting that the appointed times of (Leviticus 23) give us the days in a DDMM format; applying that model to the 153 fish decode as the 15th day of the third month. Applying that to the appointed times we find that per the Essenes the 15th day of the third month is Shavuot (Pentecost). Understanding that Jesus is Priest forever in the Order of Melchizedek and that they (the Essenes and Zadok priests) kept a different calendar than the Pharisees it gave me pause to wonder if there was a basis for this idea? That would lead me to ask, "is (John 21) a picture of the harpazo?" I believe it is. The event happens at the twinkling of an eye and shadows several elements of the resurrection/rapture. If so, could the 153 fish be a shadow of a future date? It makes me wonder...
Do you have any evidence from literature contemporary with the NT that such a DDMM method of decoding was used? I’ve read widely in that literature and have never seen it. Just curious.
@@chadbird1517 No, not directly so far. I have been exploring the DSS (Nods to Ken Johnson, ThD for his work on the Essene calendar and DSS translations). It's not that DDMM is given from Qumran more a matter of how Shavuot is calculated and how the calendar of the Essenes works. My question in prayer and study has been if Jesus was crucified relative to the calendar of the ruling party of the day, and raised on the their Feast of First Fruits as a testimony, may we understand His return on the clouds according to the same or a different calendar? (John 21) has such strong imagery of the harpazo that it begged to wonder. Given that Shavuot is calculated differently depending on which sect is counting the Omer it struck me that 153 might be a reference to a specific calendar or system. The system that made the most sense is the Essene calendar given the history of John the Baptist and his position in the School of the Prophets and their connection to the Order of Melchizedek. Shavuot is a fixed date on their calendar and always day 15 of the third month or what would be called Sivan 15 today (allowing for a Spring New Year). It is Torah that gives the DDMM format and the calendar that offers an appointed time that fits that construct consistently is that of the Essenes. Also, when asking "who" the other two disciples may have been in the boat fishing that morning -- two names come to mind that are interesting. Andrew and Philip with Philip especially interesting given his connection with harpazo.
Brother Chad! Thanks for this - great material! One question though, why do you understand "creatures of the wilderness" as "God's people" in Psalm 74:14?
The reason I'm asking is, it seems the point of Psalm 74:14 is not that God fed His people, but that He fed His people's enemies' flesh to the wild animals of the wilderness. To make your point, I would go to the fact that Jesus fed His disciples bread in John 21 (along with fish) and make the connection with God feeding His people manna in the wilderness. I'm not sure Psalm 74 works? But I'm open to being corrected :)
Peter’s restoration and forgiveness by Jesus is also one of my favourites stories.

Once more I thank you for enlightenment . Did I miss last week's? Prayers for you and your family and thanksgiving! Sam

Did this happen on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee near the city of Tiberius? If so, does this add any meaning to this account?
Chad, Peter didn't lose the Holy Spirit.
Did I say he did? It’s been a long time since I recorded this video so I don’t remember.
