Time Gates & the Appointed Time & the Reset
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,
so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things,
which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Acts 3:20-21

Having just come through significant "moed" appointed times in the biblical Hebraic calendar, Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits, parallels in the natural are also converging. As spiritual landmarks, we have been expressing the sense of going through 'Time Gates.' In this time of reprieve, alignments are really important as they will impact the future, particularly at these "moed" appointed times. Yes, alignments during 'Time Gates' will impact the future. History is filled with these gates, each with its purpose and impact. But this year is different. The past few weeks have had a marked spiritual impact in the present, but also biblically and historically. The question is, what do we do with it?
We first have to realize we are in such a convergence of time, then discern what the Lord is saying, and develop strategy from that. Check out below:
IDENTIFYING THE TIME GATE:
Spiritual dates 2025 (5785)
(Note how many national elections are happening now and in the coming weeks, Canada, So. Korea, Australia, along with high level trade talks, negotiations with Iran underway, and a sundry of other high level governmental shifts)
All these point to intense spiritual activity. God uses nature to fulfill His purposes. These natural occurrences happening around all this historic convergence speak to a "Time Gate."
Additionally, this happens to be the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. Called by Emperor Constantine I, it met from May to the end of July 325 AD. It was the first ecumenical council of the Christian Church and a landmark in Christian history. Ostensibly, it met to deal with Arianism, proposed by Arius of Alexandria, which had arisen denying the deity of Christ. The council succeeded in affirming the deity of Christ in what we now know as the Nicene Creed. However, the Council also severed the emerging church from its Jewish roots, ostensibly changing Shabbat to Sunday, and Passover to Easter. From the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, "Former ICEJ Executive Director Malcolm Hedding compares what happened at the Nicaea Council to the story of biblical Joseph, who was unrecognizable to his own Hebrew family because he looked Egyptian. Hedding says, 'The Nicaea Council dressed Jesus up as a gentile, and as a result, like Joseph, Jesus was and continues to be unrecognizable to His own brethren, the Jewish people.[1] '" God's defined timeline has all but been forgotten and lost in the vast sea of history...now waiting to be re-discovered.
THE GREAT RESET:
These historic convergences and present-day signs point to a modern-day "Appointed Time," so to speak. The vision received on April 18th, 2025, "Acceleration and Alignment...Get Ready!" on the 250-year anniversary of the American Revolution and Paul Revere's Ride, along with the natural signs occurring around the same time, speaks to high-level spiritual activity. The plumbline of purpose has fallen. We are in it!
Could we be in the generation that the Acts Church called for, who would be privileged to catalyze the "Restoration of all things?" Acts 3:20-21. If not us, who? If not now, when? With the end-time narrative unfolding, it behooves us to take serious consideration to be part of this restoration process. We do not know when, and, yes, there are things yet to happen, but one thing is for sure: Jesus will return on His timeline!
We are now in a time that is known as the "Counting of the Omer." What does that actually mean? This is a 50-day period between the Feast of First Fruits to Pentecost/Shavuot recorded in Jewish history in Leviticus 23:15-16:
And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD.
It links Passover, commemorating the Exodus, to Shavuot/Pentecost, that commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is a period meant for spiritual preparation and refinement for receiving God's Word. With these historic convergences, we submit that this is a key time of turning...for the restoration of the biblical timeline.
Yes, this will be a process, but there is no better place and time than to start. This is not a call into religious ideology or practice, but an invitation and call to an intimate walk in greater dimensions of the Lord. There are keys to our personal journeys to doors yet not opened to the revelation of God through His appointed times, moedim. Steps can be taken in good order and in respect to your various community practices. For your consideration in this season of preparation, some thoughts for prayer and action:

Repentance:
Would lining up with God’s Appointed Times and Feasts as a covenant alignment make a difference in the moral fabric of our communities and nations, divorce rates, crime, and family dysfunction? Food for thought!
Father, may these words penetrate our hearts and cause us to shift back to the foundations and the purposes of your "Appointed Times." May Your Word be a double-edged sword that divides the soul and the spirit, and brings us into alignment with you. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
- Repent for any personal mindset, offense, or opinion that would hinder or separate you from God.
- Follow Jesus' words in Matthew 5:44-45 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.
- Take steps, if the opportunity is right, to reconcile with those in the body of Christ you have knowingly or unknowingly hurt.
- Without pointing fingers (Isaiah 52:9), repent for replacing the biblical calendar with holidays and traditions, which, although they draw us together, have forgotten their roots.
- Ask God for revelation and steps you can take to walk out this repentance to redeem and restore the meaning of the biblical calendar in your life, family, and sphere of influence.
- Forgive yourself and others if they have embraced replacement theology.
- Pray for voices of influence and strategies for restoring the biblical calendar in the Gentile church world.
- Ask God how you can take steps to learn and apply the "Appointed Times" of the Lord, their intended purpose to grow your spiritual life.
