October 3, 2015 Season of our Rejoicing! Feast of
Tabernacles 2015- Hallelu-YAH!
Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This study is attached for ease of print and study
format- YHWH
is restoring all things; that includes us who were once DRY BONES! All who KNOW HIM and call on His name
will be delivered- HalleluYAH! Why
are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued
at end of this week’s study-
I LOVE this time of year loved one! Every year
during the Fall Feasts I remember my good friend Gilbert in Texas and the T
shirt he had made; on the front side it exclaimed “KEEP THE FEASTS” whereas on the back it gave reason—Or Be A Feast! (Revelation 19:17)
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great Elohim Yahweh; (Revelation 19:18)
That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the
flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and
the flesh of all men, both free and
bond, both small and great.
This is the CAMPING OUT WEEK the week of The Feast of Tabernacles it started on Tuesday evening and will end on Tuesday evening at sundown, October 6th—which also starts the LAST GREAT Day- (8th day) which ends October 7th- both of these days are SET APART High Sabbaths.We are only still scattered and practicing obedience best we can. The GOOD NEWS is that we will someday soon all be back in Jerusalem KEEPING THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES! Hehe so it is easy now to “chill” and draw near to Him as we learn to TRUST AND OBEY!
Our understanding for our obedience
of Keeping His commanded Feasts (These
have erroneously been called “Jewish” Feasts- but they are Biblically described
as Feasts of Yahweh; in caps THE LORD in KJV) as such; should include such an
understanding as the absolute wrath of Yah on those who say they love Him but
by actions say they “hate” Him. Esau was hated by Yahweh for his lack of
obedience to His ways and his inability or total lack of concern to repent. Our
Creator is serious and upon His first arrival was the lamb of Yahweh sacrifice-
now He is returning as a KING and He will finish the remaining part of the
Scripture He quoted in Isaiah 61: (He had
stopped in mid-sentence which
I show His reading in RED- because the first time Messiah came He was
not come to offer vengeance yet)
(Isaiah 61:1)
The Spirit of the Master יהוה is upon me, because יהוה
has anointed me to bring good news to the meek. He has sent me to bind up the
broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to those who are bound, (Isaiah 61:2) to proclaim the acceptable year of יהוה, and the day of vengeance of our
Elohim, to comfort all who mourn, (Isaiah
61:3) to appoint unto those who mourn in Tsiyon: to give them
embellishment for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness. And they shall be called trees of righteousness, a
planting of יהוה, to be adorned.
Some of you may be wondering why I continue to talk
about VAIN WORSHIP. Do "we" worship in VAIN? Maybe we should consider doing only what He
says and not what tradition allows-Here’s why…progressive revelation from
Heaven is what He grows His Kingdom by—we MUST gain an ear to hear Him for
ourselves—hearing from our Heavenly
Father via the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy set-apart Spirit) personal
revelation is what builds intimate RELATIONSHIP! She’mah Israel- HEAR AND DO! WHO DO WE SAY HE
IS?
Matthew 16:15 He said to them, “And
you, who do you say I am?” Matthew 16:16
And Shimʽon
Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.” Matthew 16:17 And יהושע answering, said to him, “Blessed are you,
Shimʽon Bar-Yonah, for
flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.
Mathew 16:18
“And I also say to you that you are Kĕpha, and on this rock (Revealed messages-revelation ) I shall
build my assembly, and the gates of the grave shall not overcome it. Matthew 16:19 “And I shall
give you the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever you bind 1 on earth
shall be having been bound 1 in the heavens, and whatever you loosen 1 on earth
shall be having been loosened 1
in the heavens.” Footnote:
1 binding and loosening is Heḇrew idiom for exercising
authority (to prohibit and permit). Matthew
16:20 Then He warned His taught ones that they should say to no one that
He is יהושע the Messiah.
Yahshua is our head and we are His body-
we can produce nothing that remains apart from Him.
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF REPENTANCE- SEEK A FEAST SITE (Internet) AND ATTEND LOVED ONE- YOU WILL BE BLESSED
BY KEEPING THIS APPOINTMENT (MOEDIM) WITH OUR CREATOR!
Really-
Worship in VAIN? Goodness –
maybe we should really reconsider Loved Ones- another Scripture comes to
mind- “Come out of her my people or partake in her plagues!” Loved Ones,
should we worship Him the way He says or obey men and our traditions? Is
obedience to the Word made flesh that dwelled among us really important? Is our own judgment possibly only a heartbeat
away? Do we
really want to nullify all the promises received from obedience- given in the
Word? We should take the time to consider the word “VAIN”.
Matthew
15:3
He answering, said to them, “Why do you also transgress the command of Elohim1 because of
your tradition? Footnote: 1 See Matthew.
5:20. Matthew 15:4 “For Elohim has commanded, saying, ‘Respect your father and
your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Matthew 15:5 “But you say,
‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received
from me has been dedicated,” Matthew 15:6 is certainly released from respecting his father or mother.’ So
you have nullified the command of
Elohim by your tradition. Matthew 15:7 “Hypocrites!
Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, Matthew
15:8 ‘This people draw near to me with their
mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Matthew 15:9 ‘But in vain do they worship me, teaching
as my doctrines- the commands of men.’ ” 1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah
29:13, Mark 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
One of the first things we learn from the Feast of
Tabernacles is that in camping- PLANNING AHEAD IS EVERYTHING! The BRIDE will really make herself
ready! This is such a beautiful picture of our times in the wilderness ahead of
us:
(Revelation 12:6)
And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of Yahweh that they should feed her there a
thousand two hundred and threescore days.
(Revelation 12:7)
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, (Revelation
12:8) and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
heaven. (Revelation 12:9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out
into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation
12:10) And I heard a loud voice
saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of Yahweh,
and the power of Messiah Yahshua: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our Elohim Yahweh day and night.
(Revelation 12:11)
And
they (us) overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:12)
Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and
ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For
the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he
has but a short time. (Revelation 12:13) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto
the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. (Revelation
12:14) And to the woman were
given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness, into
her place, where she is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time from the face of the serpent.
Below we’ll keep this Feast of Tabernacles during the
Millennium reign of Yahshua (Jesus) loved one, so I expect that is a good
enough reason for Truth Searchers like us to start learning obedience in
“Keeping the Feasts!” Remember the Hebrew idiom “The Day that no man
knows the day or the hour!” (Feast of Trumpets) then 15 days later is the Feast
of Tabernacles- Season of our Joy!
(Zechariah 14:16)
And it shall be that all who are left from all the gentiles which came
up against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the
Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, and to observe the Festival of Booths (Tabernacles/Sukkot).
(Zechariah 14:17) And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans
of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign (King), יהוה
of hosts, on them there is to be no rain.
How do we know
when the Biblical year starts and when we are to keep His Biblically prescribed
Feast dates loved one? YHWH put the planets and stars in their courses for
seasons days and years. The moon circles the Earth every 29.54 days so we can
only have a 29 day month or a 30 day month- never a 28 or 31 day month like
Pope Gregory determined. So YHWH is in control of what time it is in His
universe! The Biblical NEW YEAR started at sundown Monday April 4! Here is how we
determine the real start of the year! (Exodus 12:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
Exodus 12:2) “This month is the beginning of months for you; it is the first month
of the year for you. (Just before
Passover)
Why is that of
any importance to you and me living today? Because many of the body of
believers have been blinded by the enemy of our souls and still follow vain traditions which are mostly manmade subtractions,
additions and traditions of “Churchianity” handed down from the anything but a “Holy” Roman Empire ruler
Constantine; who was a sun god
worshiper and enforced these “man made doctrines” with the penalty of death for
rejection. Please understand we should know when the year starts so we can
observe and do His commanded Holy Days (Holidays) and not do vain observations
that He considers abominations. Many Christians honor all the TRADITIONAL holidays such as
Christmas, Easter, Lent and never consider their pagan roots which were
orchestrated by Rome. Some know that the day of the sun (Sun-day) was rooted from sun god
worship and Easter was the pagan fertility goddess, where the Easter Priests (Not Christians or follower of Messiah) -
would impregnate the virgins on the sunrise service and sacrifice the 3 month
old babies from the prior years' sunrise service, dipping the eggs
of Easter into the freshly sacrificed babies blood and declare- HAPPY
EASTER EVERYONE! Have a prosperous and fertile year! This was their form of Happy New Year! Lent was the 40 days of fasting and weeping
for Tamuz followed by killing the pig that killed Tammuz (on a hunting expedition) and having that for Easter ham- goodness-
Loved Ones-think maybe these traditions are possibly an abomination to our
Creator?
He taught us to NOT LEARN the ways
of the heathen and
say we are worshiping Him! (Jeremiah 10:2) Thus said יהוה, “Do not
learn the way of the gentiles, 1
and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by
them.2 Footnotes:
1 Leviticus 18:3, Deuteronomy 12:30 & 18:9, Ezekiel 11:12 &
20:32, Ephesians 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. 2 Deuteronomy 4:19 & 17:3. He also COMMANDED US:
(Deuteronomy
4:2) “Do not
add to
the Word which I command you, and do not subtract from it 1, so as to
guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote:
1 See also 12:32, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation. 22:18-19. Do you and I suppose he has changed His mind
about that; so we think it okay to ADD these
man made traditions as holy days and festivals (holidays)? And SUBTRACT
His Feasts and festivals?
Obedience is LOVE: (John
14:10)
“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the
Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from myself. But
the Father who stays in me does His works. (John
14:11)
“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, otherwise
believe me because of the works themselves. (John
14:12)
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do
he shall do also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go
to My Father. (John 14:13) “Whatever you ask in
my name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the
Son. (John 14:14) “If you ask whatever
in my Name, I shall do it. (John 14:15) “If you love me, you shall guard (keep) my commands.1 Footnote: 1 See
Exodus 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John 5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:16) “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another
Helper, to stay with you forever – (John 14:17)
the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to
receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He
stays with you and shall be in you. (John
14:18) “I
shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. (John 14:19) “Yet a little while, and the world no longer
sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live. (John 14:20) “In that day you shall know that I am in my Father and you in
me, and I in you. (John 14:21) “He who
possesses my commands and guards (keeps) them; it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I shall
love him and manifest myself to him.”
Why is this even important to us today? Because if
we cannot determine when the year starts we cannot observe His commands out of
loving obedience! Then we’d miss the Feast of our Rejoicing- hehe “Missing”
would be tragic because it is WONDERFUL!
Do we realize
that IN THE BEGINNING Yahshua (Jesus)
was the word and is the word even at Mt Sinai? Malachi 4 and Hebrews 13:8
testifies that He changes not and is the same yesterday, today and forever-
what part of “forever” is so difficult for us to understand? The enemy has
planted many tares and blinded many of us into thinking our religious
traditions are acceptable to our King! However; He claims we are worshiping
Him in VAIN! Please let us not use the excuse that those words have passed away
because Yahshua addressed that thought beforehand and leaves us no excuse when
we stand in His presence; (Matthew 5:17) Think not that I
am come to destroy the law, (Torah-
Instructions) or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:18)
For verily I say unto you, till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till
all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:19) Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach
them, the same
shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. So; is it ALL
fulfilled?
Is the Heaven
and earth passed yet? Nope= not until the millennium reign of Yahshua is it all
fulfilled and we get a new or renewed Heaven and Earth! What is fulfilled were
the Spring Feasts of YHWH; He was and is the Passover Lamb, He is the
High Priest who had to be in seclusion until the First Fruits Offering
and could not be touched (“Don’t touch me Mary- I have not yet ascended to the
Father”) then the graves opened and many were seen around Jerusalem
risen from the dead as He was the first of many of the First Fruits Offering;
then on Shavuot (We now call
Pentecost) He poured out His Spirit that His commands would no longer be
impossible (burdensome) to keep.
These were and are the Spring Feasts he and we start our year with- they are
the shadow picture of things to come. The Fall Feasts have not yet been fulfilled-
we are finally; during our generation, approaching the Feast of Trumpets
and at the LAST TRUMPET, the dead in Messiah rise first; then 10 days later we
have the DAY OF ATONEMENT or some of us call Judgment Day; then 5 days
later we have The Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkoth when we tabernacle or
dwell with Him forever; then on the eighth day of this Feast we have the LAST
GREAT DAY or the WEDDING FEAST OF THE LAMB. Once again; these Fall Feasts are not yet fulfilled. So
what does Yahshua say about this; are there still a heaven and an earth? If
there is a heaven and earth still we are commanded to: (Matthew 5:17) think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:18)
For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled. (Matthew 5:19) Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach
them, the same
shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Remember also LOVED
ONES- WE FEAR NOT! We fast and repent
getting rid of our unbelief and replacing it with TRUSTING HIM! (Psalms 20:5) We sing of your deliverance, and in the
Name of our Elohim we set up a banner! יהוה (YHWH) does fill all your requests! (Psalms 20:6)
Now I know that יהוה (YHWH) shall save (deliver) His Anointed; He answers him
from His set-apart heavens with the saving might of His right hand. (Psalms 20:7) Some trust
in chariots, and some in horses, but we remember (trust in) the Name of יהוה (YHWH) our Elohim.
(Psalms 20:8)
They, they have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and are
established. (Psalms 20:9) Save us (YHWH)
יהוה! Let the Sovereign answer us in the day
we call.
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: SUKKOT “Feast of Tabernacles!”
Leviticus
22:26-23;44; Numbers 29:12-16; Zechariah 14:1-21; Revelation 21:1-7
(Leviticus 22:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus
22:2) “Speak to Aharon and his sons, that they separate themselves from
the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and that they do
not profane my set-apart Name in what they set apart to Me. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:3) “Say to them, ‘any man of all your offspring
throughout your generations who draws near the set-apart Offerings which the
children of Yisra’ĕl set apart to יהוה,
while he has uncleanness upon him, that being shall be cut off from before Me.
I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:4) ‘Any man of the offspring of Aharon, who is a
leper or has a discharge, does not eat the set-apart offerings until he
is clean. And whoever touches what is rendered unclean by a corpse, or a man
who has had an emission of semen, (Leviticus 22:5)
or a man who touches any creeping creature by which he would be made unclean,
or any being by whom he would become unclean, even any of his uncleanness; (Leviticus 22:6) the being who has touched it shall
be unclean until evening, and does not eat the set-apart offerings, but
shall bathe his body in water. (Leviticus 22:7) ‘And when the sun goes down he shall be
clean, and afterward eat the set-apart offerings, because it is his
food. (Leviticus 22:8) ‘He does not eat that which dies or is torn by
beasts, becoming unclean by it. I am יהוה.
(Leviticus 22:9) ‘And they shall guard My Charge, lest they
bear sin for it and die thereby, when they profane it. I יהוה
set them apart. (Leviticus 22:10) ‘And no stranger eats the set-apart offering.
A sojourner with the priest, or a hired servant, does not eat the set-apart offering.
(Leviticus 22:11) ‘But when the priest buys a being with his
money, he does eat of it. And one who is born in his house does eat his food. (Leviticus 22:12)
‘And when a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she does not eat
of the set-apart offerings. (Leviticus 22:13) ‘But when a priest’s daughter is a widow or
put away, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her
youth, she does eat her father’s food, but no stranger eats of it. (Leviticus 22:14)
‘And when a man eats the set-apart offering by mistake, then he shall
give a set-apart offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it. (Leviticus 22:15)
‘And let the priests not profane the set-apart offerings of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, which they lift up to יהוה,
(Leviticus 22:16) or allow them to bear the
crookedness of trespass when they eat their set-apart offerings. I am יהוה,
who sets them apart.’ ” (Leviticus 22:17) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 22:18) “Speak to Aharon and his sons, and to all the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of
the strangers in Yisra’ĕl, who brings his offering for any of his vows or for
any of his voluntary offerings, which they bring to יהוה
as a burnt offering, (Leviticus 22:19) for your acceptance, is a male, a perfect one
from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats. (Leviticus
22:20) ‘Whatever has a defect,
you do not bring, for it is not acceptable for you. (Leviticus
22:21) ‘And when a man brings a
peace offering to יהוה, to complete a vow,
or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to be
accepted, let there be no defect in it. (Leviticus
22:22) ‘Those blind or broken or
having a cut, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of them on
the altar to יהוה. (Leviticus 22:23)
‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed you do
prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted. (Leviticus 22:24)
‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or
crushed, or torn or cut, nor do it in your land. (Leviticus
22:25) ‘And from a son of a
stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these as the bread of your Elohim, for
their corruption is in them, and defects are in them, they are not acceptable
for you.’ ” (Leviticus 22:26) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 22:27) “When a bull or a sheep or a goat
is born, it shall be seven days with its mother. And from the eighth day and
thereafter it is acceptable as an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Leviticus 22:28) “But do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and
its young on the same day. (Leviticus 22:29) “And when you bring a slaughtering of
thanksgiving to יהוה, bring it for your
acceptance. (Leviticus 22:30) “It is eaten that same day; leave none of it
till morning. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:31)
“And you shall guard my commands and do them. I am יהוה. (Leviticus 22:32) “And do not profane my set-apart Name, and I
shall be set-apart among the children of Yisra’ĕl. I am יהוה,
who sets you apart, (Leviticus 22:33) who
brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am יהוה.”
FEASTS- MOEDIM-
Appointments- rehearsals- shadows of good things to come!
(Leviticus 23:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus
23:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘the appointed times of יהוה,
which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, my appointed times,
are these: (Leviticus 23:3) ‘Six days work is
done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath
of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work; it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings. (Leviticus 23:4)
‘These are the appointed times of יהוה,
set-apart gatherings which you are to proclaim at their appointed times. (Leviticus 23:5)
‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings,
is the Passover to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:6)
‘And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to יהוה – seven days you eat
unleavened bread. (Leviticus 23:7) ‘On the first day you have a set-apart
gathering, you do no servile work. (Leviticus 23:8) ‘And you shall bring an offering made by fire
to יהוה for seven days. On the seventh day is a
set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.’ ” (Leviticus
23:9) and יהוה spoke to Mosheh,
saying, (Leviticus 23:10) “Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land
which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of
the first-fruits of your harvest to the
priest. (Leviticus 23:11) ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after
the Sabbath the priest waves it. (Leviticus 23:12) ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you
shall prepare a male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה, (Leviticus
23:13) and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour
mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה,
a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine. (Leviticus 23:14)
‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same
day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings. (Leviticus 23:15)
‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought
the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed
Sabbaths. (Leviticus 23:16) ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath
you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה. (Leviticus
23:17) ‘Bring from your dwellings
for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of
fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה.
(Leviticus 23:18) ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven
lambs a year old, perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a
burnt offering to יהוה, with their grain
offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet
fragrance to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:19)
‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs
a year old, as a peace offering. (Leviticus 23:20) ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the
bread of the first-fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה,
besides the two lambs. They are set-apart to יהוה
for the priest. (Leviticus 23:21) ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a
set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law
forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. (Leviticus 23:22)
‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely reap the
corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning from your
harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” (Leviticus 23:23)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 23:24) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl,
saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you have a rest,
a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a set-apart
gathering. (Leviticus 23:25) ‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring
an offering made by fire to יהוה.’ ” (Leviticus 23:26) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 23:27) “On the tenth day of this seventh month is
the Day
of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you
shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. (Leviticus
23:28) “And you do no work on
that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before
יהוה your Elohim. (Leviticus
23:29) “For any being who is not
afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people. (Leviticus 23:30)
“And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I shall
destroy from the midst of his people. (Leviticus
23:31) “You do no work – a law
forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (Leviticus 23:32)
‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On
the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe
your Sabbath.”
Sukkot- Tabernacles-
Moedim (Appointments)
(Leviticus 23:33)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 23:34) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl,
saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of
Booths for seven days to יהוה. (Leviticus
23:35) ‘On the first day is a
set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. (Leviticus
23:36) ‘For seven days you bring
an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the eighth day
there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering
made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing
festival, you do no servile work. (Leviticus 23:37) ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which you proclaim as set-apart
gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to יהוה,
a burnt offering and a grain offering, a slaughtering and drink offerings, as
commanded for every day – (Leviticus 23:38) besides
the Sabbaths of יהוה, and besides your
gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings
which you give to יהוה. (Leviticus 23:39)
‘On
the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the fruit of the
land, observe the festival of יהוה for seven days. On the first day is a
rest, and on the eighth day a rest. (Leviticus
23:40) ‘And you shall take for
yourselves on the first day the fruit of good trees, branches of palm trees,
twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim for seven days. (Leviticus 23:41)
‘And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה
for seven days in the year – a law forever in your generations. Observe it in
the seventh month. (Leviticus 23:42) ‘Dwell
in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’ĕlites dwell in booths, (Leviticus 23:43) so that your generations know that
I made the children of Yisra’ĕl dwell in booths when I brought them out of the
land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ” (Leviticus 23:44) Thus did Mosheh speak of the
appointed times of יהוה to the children of
Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers
29:12) ‘And on the fifteenth day of the seventh
month you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. And you shall
observe a festival to יהוה seven days, (Numbers 29:13) and you shall bring near a burnt offering, an
offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה:
thirteen young bulls, two rams, fourteen lambs a year old, perfect ones they
are, (Numbers 29:14) and their grain offering: fine flour mixed
with oil, three-tenths of an ĕphah for each of the thirteen bulls,
two-tenths for each of the two rams, (Numbers 29:15) and one-tenth for each of the fourteen lambs,
(Numbers 29:16)
and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt
offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.
Yikes! 2/3
are cut off and 1/3 of us will be brought through the fire as we are refined in
fire Loved One! These are the similar numbers of the Great Tribulation in the
last 42 months called Jacob’s Trouble- (Not the Jews Trouble- all of the
Commonwealth of Israel who are grafted in by believing on Yahshua and heirs
according to the promise of Abraham!)
This pertains to ½
also—hmm!
(Zechariah 14:1)
See, a day shall come for יהוה, and your spoil shall be divided in your midst. (Zechariah 14:2)
And I shall gather all the gentiles to battle against Yerushalayim1. And
the city shall be taken, the houses plundered, and the women ravished. Half of
the city shall go into exile, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut
off from the city. Footnote: 1 Joel
3:2, Zeph. 3:8, Revelation. 16:14. (Zechariah
14:3) And יהוה
shall go forth, and He shall fight against those gentiles, as He fights in the
day of battle. (Zechariah 14:4) And in that day His feet shall stand upon the
Mount of Olives, which faces Yerushalayim on the east. And the Mount of Olives
shall be split in two, from east to west, a very great valley, and half of the
mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south. (Zechariah 14:5)
And you shall flee to the valley of My Mountain – for the valley of the
mountains reaches to Atsal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake
in the days of Uzziyah sovereign of Yehuḏah. יהוה
my Elohim shall come – all the set-apart ones with you. (Zechariah 14:6) And in
that day it shall be: there is no light, it is dark. (Zechariah
14:7) And it shall be one day
which is known to יהוה, neither day nor
night, but at evening time there shall be light. (Zechariah
14:8) And in that day it shall be
that living waters flow from Yerushalayim1,
half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea, in
summer as well as in winter. Footnote: 1 Revelation
22:1-2. (Zechariah 14:9) And יהוה
shall be Sovereign over all the earth 1.
In that day there shall be one יהוה, and His Name one. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 24:23, Daniel 2:44, Revelation.
11:15. (Zechariah 14:10) All the land shall be changed into a desert
plain from Geḇa to Rimmon south of Yerushalayim, and she shall be raised up
and inhabited in her place from Binyamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate
and the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Ḥanan’ĕl to the winepresses of the
sovereign. (Zechariah 14:11) And they shall dwell in her, and there shall
be no more utter destruction 1, but
Yerushalayim shall be safely inhabited. Footnote: 1
Malachi 4:6. (Zechariah 14:12) And this is the plague with which יהוה plagues all the people who fought against
Yerushalayim: their flesh shall decay while they stand on their feet, and their
eyes decay in their sockets, and their tongues decay in their mouths. (Zechariah 14:13)
And it shall be in that day that a great confusion from יהוה is among them, and every one of them shall seize the hand of
his neighbor, and his hand rise up against his neighbor’s hand. (Zechariah 14:14)
And Yehuḏah shall fight at Yerushalayim as well. And the wealth of all
the gentiles round about shall be gathered together: gold, and silver, and
garments in great quantities. (Zechariah 14:15) So also is the plague on the horse and the
mule, on the camel and the donkey, and on all the cattle that are in those
camps – as this plague. (Zechariah 14:16) And it shall be that all who are left from
all the gentiles which came up against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to
year to bow themselves to the Sovereign, יהוה
of hosts, and to observe the Festival of Booths. (Zechariah 14:17)
And it shall be that if anyone of the clans of the earth does not come
up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign, יהוה
of hosts, on them there is to be no rain. (Zechariah
14:18) And if the clan of
Mitsrayim does not come up and enter in, then there is no rain. On them
is the plague with which יהוה plagues the gentiles
who do not come up to observe the Festival of Booths. (Zechariah
14:19) This
is the punishment of Mitsrayim and the punishment of all the gentiles that do
not come up to observe the Festival of Booths. (Zechariah
14:20) In that day “SET-APART TO יהוה” shall be engraved on the bells of the
horses. And the pots in the House of יהוה
shall be like the bowls before the altar. (Zechariah
14:21) And every pot in
Yerushalayim and Yehuḏah shall be set-apart to יהוה
of hosts. And all those who slaughter shall come and take them and cook in
them. And there shall no longer be a merchant in the House of יהוה of hosts, in that day.
If there were only 6 billion- (More likely now over 7 billion)
CONSIDER- ¼ cut off first- that is minus 1.5 billion, that leaves 4.5 billion,
then 1/3 are cut off – that is another minus of 1.5 billion- that leaves 3
billion of us; YIKES that is at least ½ the population being cut off!
Shouldn’t we use this time Loved One to draw near to YHWH? We fear
NOT! Hallelu-Yah!
Let’s look- we start with the fourth seal for ¼: (Revelation 6:7) and when He opened the fourth
seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” (Revelation 6:8)
And I looked and saw a pale horse. And he who sat on it had the name
Death, and the grave followed with him. And authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the earth. Here’s the next
1/3: (Revelation 9:14) saying to the
sixth messenger who had the trumpet, “Release the four messengers, those having
been bound at the great river Euphrates.” (Revelation
9:15) And the four messengers,
those having been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were
released to kill a third of mankind.
After the 1000 year
Millennium (The Sabbath Day Rest) Where Yahshua
“Tabernacles” with us- then we get a New Heaven and a New Earth! Hallelu-Yah!
(Revelation 21:1)
And I saw a renewed heaven and a
renewed earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away,
and the sea is no more. (Revelation 21:2) And I, Yoḥanan,
saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down out of the heaven
from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:3)
And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth of
Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people,
and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. (Revelation 21:4)
“And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall
be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying. And there shall be no more pain,
for the former matters have passed away.” (Revelation
21:5) And He who was sitting on
the throne said, “See, I make all matters new.” And He said to me,
“Write, for these words are true and trustworthy.” (Revelation
21:6) And He said to me, “It is
done! I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End. To the one who
thirsts I shall give of the fountain of the water of life without payment. (Revelation 21:7)
“The one who overcomes shall inherit all this, and I shall be his
Elohim and he shall be my son.
I do hope you are participating with
Loved Ones- loved one; in keeping the Feast of Tabernacles- wherever you are- thank you for your prayers for
us- you KNOW you are much loved! Hallelu-Yah! May YHWH bless you, provide for
you, shield and protect you- in the Season of Our Rejoicing! You are really
much loved. Remember 400 times in the KJV the word “fear” is used. 331 of those
are FEAR NOT! That leaves 69 “fears” left- and most of those pertain to FEAR
YHWH! (Who alone can cast you into hell’s flames for eternity) So FEAR NOT!
Shalom
to your home- uhh- Sukkah/Tent- Loved One!

explanation of the Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which
sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year
starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just
happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following
his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah
(Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our
obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab
the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from
them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
(Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship
which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many
peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray
before יהוה.’ (Zechariah
8:23) “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered
northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the
nations take hold, yea, they
shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22
