Very relevant information on this upcoming day of Atonement.

Day of Atonement begins sundown, Wednesday October 21st, 2026. The 10th day of Tishri, the day of Yeshua's baptism. A lot in this post. It is a day of fasting, repenting of sins, known and unknown, and asking for redemption and forgiveness, of the previous year.
It is a rite, a Holy Fall Feast Day, still in effect in our time. The the removal of a year's worth of baggage and accumulated garbage makes this an especially Great Day for the Soul whom earnestly seeks a release and freedom from sin, in their daily walk and way.

The baptism of Yeshua

In the year 29 AD, a very interesting celestial configuration appeared on Tishri 10, Yom Kippur, dramatically marking for all time the very day Yeshua was baptized in the Jordan. The value of recognizing this sign lies in teaching us the vocabulary of the celestial language and in dating the event, so we have multiple points of confirmation to affix important events to our calendar. For us in our day, it is a celestial date stamp, if you will. This revelation about the celestial dating of this event is one in a series of such revelations.
On this holy day, the planet Mercury (the messenger planet) conjoined with the star in Virgo which is today known as Spica. It is known in Arabic as Al Zimach; "the branch." In Hebrew it is "tsemech" which means, "branch." Of the twenty or so Hebrew words in the Old Testament scriptures that are translated "branch," "tsemech" is the one, the only one, which is exclusively messianic. In celestial language, a Mercury/Tsemech conjunction would then be interpreted as the announcement of the branch.
According to the scriptural account of Yeshua's baptism, an audible heavenly announcement was made. Recorded in the first three Gospels, this audible announcement from heaven was given in concert with an announcement from the celestial heavens.

| Near as what that looked like I could find after searching for more than 2 decades. It even has the lagoon our Father provided. Yeshua and John, sealing the deal at the appointed time. |
Side note. Every painting or movie I ever watched had me in the water fully clothed. NOT SO. I never wore leather anything, sandles, waist belt/girdle, or anything in the water. No one did. The water would ruin it and that would be that, as anyone knows whom has foolishly done so, even once. I slipped an over shirt on, like I wear today, with the sleeves removed. That over shirt, which was linen, light gray in color, went to about a six inches or so, above my knees. we dried the baptismal robes we started using after about 6 months on rope lines between trees, along with any other wet garments or towels. Took about an hour and a half for everything to dry. Everyone went into the water bare footed, their heads uncovered, and as said elsewhere, in the robes Martha and her girls had sown for us. Mainly for the modesty of the people involved and the era. Bikinis and the kind of thing that is around today would be considered UNDERWEAR and something shameful. And bras did NOT exist in those days.
The voice came from "heaven." Where is our attention directed? UP! To the heavens!!! And what was happening in heaven at that time? The mercury/Tsemech conjunction: An announcement of the messianic branch, brought forth as the celestial Word poured forth speech into all the earth, even to the ends of the world! There was no speech or language where this voice was not heard!
1.The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Psalm 19:1-4a
What
an awesome synchronized testimony! That celestial witness was a
necessary second witness validating the message of the audible voice
from heaven - that the branch had arrived and that it was Yeshua of
nazareth - the anointed one - Yeshua HaMashiach!
The heavens most
certainly do function as signs to mark seasons (the moad, the appointed
times, the Holy Days) as stated in Genesis Chapter 1. Clearly, the
spiritual seasons regarding Y'shua in God's plan of redemption for man
are as much a part of God's design for the celestial heavens as the
natural cycle of the four seasons we call Spring, Summer, Autumn and
Winter.
The fact that the voice from heaven accompanying Yeshua's
baptism is omitted in John's Gospel record is a noteworthy observation
that encourages us to pay close attention to why this might be so. Since
it is the Gospel of john that is the very gospel ordained to proclaim
Yeshua with a focus as the son of god, the most conspicuous absence of
the audible voice declaring the relationship between the branch and the
one from whom it came brings our focus upon this very relationship and
upon the "missing" voice which declared it.
Now, at this late hour at the close of the age, we learn that the declaration of Yeshua as the son of God at that time isn't really missing at all from John's Gospel account. It was merely displaced somewhat. It appears in the passage in the form of John's testimony, as it is he who represented the Father Himself, symbolically.
32And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Spirit. 34And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of YHVH.
John 1:32-34
Side Note. I had stated elsewhere that Yeshua and I knew each other as cousins. We both grew up with similar stories put upon us by our respective parents; both had miraculous births, etc. That morning, when I awoke, YHVH, our Heavenly Father, simply stated that the Spirit that descends UPON THE MAN you immerse, He will baptize with the Holy Spirit. Put that way, my expectations were that it could then BE ANYBODY. Not necessarily Yeshua. When Yesh did appear, I was most pleased, because I wasn't CERTAIN WHAT MAN would be baptizing with the Holy Spirit, though it must be Yeshua. In my mind. It was just the way it was put to me. A MAN. Not Yeshua, my Son. Just to clear things up, which is what I have been wanting to do for thousands of years.
Do
you see it? Representing the Heavenly Father, John bore witness thusly:
"I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God." so it is in
this cryptic fashion that the Heavenly Father brought forth testimony
through another medium of revelation! It is found here in the gospel
record ordained to establish this very fact. It was hidden in symbolism -
typology. For emphasis. This is God's way of revealing his great
truths. He emphasizes important things by hiding them. Strange but true.
But
that's not the whole story because there is yet another celestial voice
bearing witness with the Mercury/Tsemech conjunction on that holy day!
Let me set up some background for you. Isaiah is the prophet whose
message foretelling about John the Baptist is recorded in all four
Gospels, so there's a distinct correlation between these two great
prophets. If you look at the reference I just gave from John 1, you find
in verse 33 that God sent John to baptize with water and that Yeshua
would baptize with spirit. (See also Mark 1:8) Now, consider the message
from Isaiah 44.
3For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
Isaiah 44:3
Note the water and the spirit - both here are "poured out."
There's
a Zodiacal constellation in which we find this significance of the
"pouring out." The brightest (or, alpha) star in this constellation is
named Sa'ad al Melik, which means "the record of the pouring forth." the
beta star's name, Saad al Sund, means "who goeth and returneth," or,
"the pourer out." This constellation we call "Aquarius" (The Water
Bearer) means "Their Blessings Ensured, or the Living Waters of Blessing
Poured Forth for the Redeemed" according to Bullinger. He wrote this
about Aquarius. "The atonement being
made, the blessings have been procured, and now they can be bestowed and
poured forth upon the redeemed. This is the truth, whether we think of
Abel's lamb, of patriarchal sacrifices, the offerings under the law, or
of that great sacrifice of which they all testified. They all with one
voice tell us that atonement made is the only foundation of blessing."
See
how insightfully he speaks of atonement with regard to this sign?
That's what Aquarius is about! The connection between Aquarius and this
Day of Atonement in 29 AD is that this is the sign where the other
celestial event took place! At the time Mercury and Tsemech were in
conjunction in Virgo, the moon conjoined with Jupiter the (Messiah/King
planet) in the precise portion of the sky where the water is pouring out
of the urn or pitcher borne by Aquarius! The Moon speaks of the
reflection of the Bridegroom's glory - the Bride! As Yeshua was being
anointed from Above with holy spirit, marking and equipping him as the
Messiah - the Anointed one of Israel, and while the audible (voice) and
inaudible (celestial) announcements declaring Yeshua as the pleasing son
and Messianic branch of Yahweh were being made, the
Messianic-presence/Moon was conjoining the Messiah/King planet in the
sign who's brightest star's name means "the record of the pouring
forth."

Yeshua/Jesus Baptism Site - Bethany Beyond The Jordan, Jordan
https://old.bitchute.com/video/CX9AWBvYRZk8/
Excellent video of the discovery of the baptism site at Bethany, formerly known in the days of Joshua as Bethabara.
 |
| They built a kind of gazebo there, after the fact. For 2000 years, people have been flocking to MOSTLY THE WRONG SITES to see where things happened. This is Holy Ground. You took off your sandals standing in this place. |
Bethany Beyond The Jordan (Bethabara) is the site where John the Baptist conducted baptisms, and thus where he baptized Yeshua Christ.
Early in the Christian era, some churches were built at the baptism site. It was the discovery of the ruins of these churches and the adjacent baptism ponds and how they aligned with early writings that described the area that have led many archaeologists to believe that this was where John conducted baptisms. And it is.
- Nearby is Tell Elias, or Elijah's Hill, where that in the 9th century BC Elijah ascended to heaven.
- This Joshua and the Hebrews crossed over into the promised land upon this holy ground. Where the ark of the covenant stopped the waters while the 12 tribes crossed over.
- Baptism of our savior, Yeshua, on Tishrei 10, Yom Kippur. Elijah is reborn as John to do the sacred deed.
- Where Elijah and Elisha both, stopped the waters in order to cross to the other side dry.
The Photos (in order)
M11A4569 - Archeologists believe this was the site where John the Baptist conducted baptisms, and thus where he would have baptized Yeshua. Correct.
M11A4573 - Another view of the baptism site; because its waters are diverted for irrigation and other uses, the River Jordan was much broader back then than it is today, leaving the site a short walk away from the main channel of today's river. The river was changed in the 6th century, to preserve the site from blasphemers.
M11A4577 - Ruins of John the Baptist church M11A4583 - Ruins of the basilica, the Church of the Trinity, with the baptism pool in the distance
M11A4580 - Ruins at the lower basilica
M11A4611 - water from the River Jordan is made available for visitors near the banks of the main channel
M11A4617 - Today's River Jordan is a narrow channel; it also marks the boundary between Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank; the facility on the West Bank is designed for those visitors who want to be baptized in the river itself
M11A4545 - Nearby Tell Elias, or Elijah's Hill, is where tradition holds that the prophet Elijah ascended to Heaven; Jericho lies in the distance. Correct.

What is baptism, really
Don Bradley 6-8-24
 |
| As it was that day at Bethany, in the Jordan River. |
In baptism, a person enters the water, guided by the hands of the baptizer, a man or woman in Earthly corruption. Many lives of error, mistakes, and frequent breaks with the Law of YHVH, as given us by the Ten Commandments; in short, sin. We enter the water in sin, in violation of the Living Law still yet radiating from the Seat of the Most High In Heaven and His earthly throne, the mercy seat over which lies this mirror tablet of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
It is the mind and body that is cleansed and made ready. Ready for the Holy Spirit, awaiting to descend and enter. Then the person breaks forth from the water and upon THEIR VERY FIRST BREATH, they breathe in the Holy Spirit of the Most High Adonai, through the atonement of their sin, His blood on the Mercy Seat. Upon that first gasp and intake of air, they are born, not of man, but of Almighty God, YHVH.
The mind is cleansed of old attachments and links to the lawless one. It is free. Free of sin, washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, spotless, blameless, and True.
I have seen it countless times. In my own baptism, witnessed by my son Matthew, it was so. And it is so for all mankind. If they accept His Holy Sacrifice and wish to become a son of God.
It is my wish, that this wish, be in your heart.
Don
