A Quick Review

 חג הסוכו Feast of Sukkot-Booths-Tabernacles

The Feast of Sukkot is also when He
will return to Dwell with us forever.

The Spring Feasts were shadow pictures of
His First Coming, and The Fall Feasts are
Prophetic Window Pictures of His Second Coming.

All of the Feasts of יהוה have been rehearsed since
inception for the time when they would be accomplished,
that we understand exactly Who we worship
and how to worship Him in an acceptable way.

We know our Messiah and what to expect by observing the Authority that He set down for us to follow; a way to Worship Him that is not only agreeable to Him, but Instituted by Him in a manner that is different from all other Mighty Ones and their man made efforts to conform to their man made religious systems.

Man has attempted to disengage himself and others from YHVH's System of worship that contain His perfect plan for our salvation. יהוה Has Authored His Plan -- The Way we are to worship Him, that we go not whoring after the enemies deception through man made practices and spiritual adultery.

We are only here for His Good Pleasure, so why not attend to His Perfect Plan and live within His Yolk, His Law, His TORAH? His system of worship eliminates  covetousness which is idolatry, and keeps us in tune with Him, and places Him in all that we Worship. Why does man develop his own religious designs that pervert what our Master has instituted that we not go whoring after self willed and wild forms of idolatry?

The Feasts of יהוה are perfect convocations that eliminate idolatry in our Worship and places Him as the central figure, and gives us a view of His Purpose all the way into the New Jerusalem with a faith based on His ability to carry out His purposes systematically and in a heavenly instituted manner.

Mankind has always desired to know the future. Some for selfish motives, others for will worship and power over his fellow man. His thirst for power/rebellion can only bring him into worship of the adversary as he follows demonic forces that war against the powers of heaven. Yet man finds every excuse he can conjure up to do it his way which is nothing more than following demons. The Truth as found in Scripture is looked away from in almost a deliberate attempt by many to conform to their fellow mans practices; teachings of men in Whited Sepulchers.

Why does man desire to call יהוה by anything but His Name? Much is being done today to Restore His Perfect Name. New Translations in print restore HaShem YHVH - השמ יהוה - The Name.

Even newer Translations now in their editing stages are taken from Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts to get us out of the Greek way of thinking and back to the Faith that was once delivered to the saints.

A Few Good Men have spent much of their lives preparing for the work they are completing. With the publication of Scripture translated from Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts we can discover our Hebrew Roots and begin to fully understand the plan of Salvation in living color.

New Beginnings.

Shemot 12:2
This is the beginning of months for you,
it is the first month of the year for you.

 Pesach - פסח - Passover, Brought us into the beginning of His Plan of Salvation and instituted the first of the Spring Feasts that we would rehearse for centuries to know when He would come to set us free; we should recognize His Gift and be thankful that we worship an Elohim Who Lives and Reigns in the Heavenlies; Who cares for us enough to give His Life for all who would follow Him; Who in no uncertain terms would surrender to us the kingdom prepared for us from before the foundation of the world, a gift that none other could even dream of.

Through these Feasts, We worship The Only ONE Who Cares Enough to send Himself into our midst, live among us in the flesh, show us vividly His Plans for us, suffer a most ignominious torture at the hands of the enemy with His Very Throne At Stake, that we see His Love for us in no clearer way than spilling His Blood drop by drop before our eyes, and like a sheep that is led to the slaughter He opened not His mouth in remorse except for those Who know not what they do.

As our Spiritual life began at the first Passover, the promise of Eternal life began at it's completion. At the Resurrection we were given full understanding that Eternal life is waiting for all who overcome; The promise of eternal life accomplished before our eyes. We saw the gift of life from the dead when יהושע Raised El'azer. We witnessed יהושע coming out of the grave under His Own Power, For no man takes My life. I have the power to give It and the power to take it back again.

After hearing our Betrothal at the Last Supper, we saw Him return from where He came and HE prepares our place that we be with Him where He is, and we watch for Him in all the expectation of a Bride awaiting her Groom. A shout in the middle of the night will be our call to trim our lamps and go to meet Him at His Coming.

As Moshe said to the Yisraelites at the shore of the Red Sea, Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the deliverance of יהוה which He does for you today.

We will see our Deliverer take us from time into
Eternity in the blink of an eye at the last Trumpet,
and forever be with our Husband, "For your maker is your Husband, יהוה of hosts is His Name." (Isaiah 54:5)

Our Lunar Cycle
Through the Lunar Cycle, our Creator instituted a system of worship that leaves us without any guess work of which day or days we are to assemble and worship Him. No matter where we are in the world, or how much time passes, we can return to His System knowing that we have it right, for If He was able to institute a system of worship, He is also able to preserve that system. All we have to do is observe the quarters of the moon to know when is Shabbat. We have no guess work to understand His Power and His Might. We are able to follow His Easy Burden and Light Yolk from anywhere and at any time throughout our days here on this earth. His Plan is perfect, as is His Purpose under Heaven. He did not leave us comfortless. We celebrate Him in all that we do. We come before Him at His Moadim (appointed times) with confidence that He is there with us in our celebrations.

This one is special to me.
We as a people have rehearsed for centuries the Feasts of יהוה that there be no mistake Who He Is and how to respond to Him in an acceptable way. Now, at this time in our love and commitment to serve Him in all that we are, He has allowed us to see the Proof that He took on the flesh for us and now Sits on the Right Hand of the Mercy Seat.

Preserved for us from it's building in the desert, is the Right-Hand side of the Mercy Seat that was prepared to accept only the Blood that it was waiting for, that of Yahoshua HaMashiach - יהושע המשיח that cleanses us from all matters of fornication and rebellion, made atonement for all sin for all time and Remains ALIVE on the Right Side of the Mercy Seat for us to know and understand that only One Elohim - אלהים Rules in the Heavenlies.

All that He has instituted from before the foundation of the universe will unfold into His Perfect Plan, and we will know that we are here for His Good Pleasure. He Speaks with clarity to those who know Him. He Speaks with only One Voice. We are not lead to confusion or conflict of interest when we listen only to His Still Small Voice. His Name is the beginning of Wisdom.

Bring not into your relationship with Him the names
of other mighty ones. Know the Elohim Who
Created you by Name, He cares for you.

Follow His instructions and Call upon His Name,
For all who call upon the Name of יהוה will be saved.

Our Master did not leave us comfortless. Not from the beginning, nor till the consummation. He has been here for us both in Wisdom, Purpose, and in Person. The entire Scriptures witness His Presence before us in all the forms that HE has manifest Himself to us. Eden, Noah's Ark, Smoke and Fire on Mt Sinai, Battles with the enemy, The Prophets, The Ark of the Covenant, His Spirit from Shavuot, and since the Execution Stake, has left us His Living Blood on the Right Hand Side of the Mercy Seat.

Sit Thou on My Right Hand until I make
your enemies a footstool for Your Feet.
Mt 5:35, 22:44, Mk 12:36, Lk 20:43,
Acts 2:35, 7:49, Heb 1:13, 10:13.

He has never left us, nor will He ever forsake us. How do I know? Faith come by hearing, and hearing by the Word of יהוה.  We are saved by Favor (Grace) through this Faith.
Not an invisible Faith. A Faith tried and true.
Come, let us reason together, Said He.

He has been here from the foundation of the world,
that we not walk alone. He has been a friend that
is closer than a brother, in Love that never fails
from before the foundation of the universe.

Hanukkah - Festival of Lights

The celebration of Dedication: The Theme of this Feast is of a Miracle, one day supply of oil lasted for eight days, there is no other explanation but A Miracle. With all of the people aware of the Miracle of Lights, יהושע spoke these Words. John 10:37-38
If I do not the works of My Father, do not believe Me; But if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the Works, so that you know and believe that The Father is in Me, and I in Him.

Every time Yahoshua spoke Words with perfect timing, the people knew exactly what He said; the reaction was the same, they tried to seize Him. The Miracle of Hanukkah was and is known that only the Father could have accomplished it.

I and the Father are One.
John 10:30 can only mean one thing, and the Works done are a witness to the fact, and for this there were those who wanted to seize Him.

John 9:5-7,
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world
made no mistake of what He was saying. The Lights from the Hanukkah Menorah represents the Sh'chinah Glory. When יהושע declared Himself "The Light of the World," there was no mistake what He is saying.

After a review of these Feasts the evidence will be seen that will shatter misunderstood end time prophecies. Not that any Biblical Prophecy will change, for once Spoken not one Word is possible to fail for we Worship a Creator Who does not change, not for one nanosecond.

The Ministry of our Messiah Yahoshua
began some time after the Feast of Sukkot,
in what we call the fall of the year.

The first Feast that He attended was Pesach-פסח-Passover,
John 2:13, and Feast of Unleavened Bread V:23
which are together in an eight day Feast.

The second Feast that יהושע attended is found in
John 5:1, The Feast of Shavuot -חג השבועות. Both of these Feasts require attendance to all who dwell in the land.

By John 6 we are already in Feast of Trumpets - יום תרועה - Yom Teruach, wrongly reported as a Passover witnessed by evidence that Yahoshua went to Kaphar Nahum with His Taught Ones instead of to Yerushalayim. Had this been a Passover or Feast of Booths, יהושע would have been at that Feast, required by TORAH.

John 7, brought us to the
Feast of Booths - Sukkot חג הסוכות,

Tishri 15 thru 22, followed on day 23 by the
Last Great Day - שמיני עצרת - Shemini Atzeret verse 37. The very next Feast is Hanukkah John 10:22. All of these Feast follow in their Proper Order exactly as instituted in Torah. We then follow the Good News of John to the last Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, We find that יהושע attended the Last Supper with His Taught Ones, then minus Yahudah from Qerioth (Judas) whom all the taught ones thought was sent to make a purchase, forbidden at Passover Feast. Whether one believes that the Last Supper was at Passover is not a Salvation issue.

According to John 13:1-2, it was not a Passover.
And before the Festival of Passover.... And the Supper taking place. With Judas gone from the upper room V-29- 31, יהושע began to discuss with them the Cup of the Renewed Covenant, A Renewed command I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all know that you are My taught ones, if you have love for one another.

In John 14 יהושע Renewed the Covenant With His Bride,
Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Elohim, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many staying places. And if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I shall come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you might be too. And where I go you know, and the way you know.

The Love He Has for His Bride is expressed through the rest of Chapter 14 and He assured them that He would not leave them orphans, V-18 I am coming to you.

V-20 In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who possesses My commands and guards 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.

 V-23-24 If anyone loves ME, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make our stay with him. He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word that you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.

John 15:16, You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear much fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He might give you.

V-21 יהושע  Told of the persecutions that
would come. "Because of My Name," said He.

John 16-2-3 Every one who kills you shall think he is
rendering service to Elohim. And this they shall do to
you because they did not know the Father, nor Me.

John 16:15, All that The Father has is Mine. That is why I said that He takes from what is Mine and announces it to you.

V-33, These I have spoken to you that in Me you might have peace. In the world you have pressure, but take courage, I have overcame the world.

These Words of comfort Yahoshua- יהושע spoke to us that we might have Shalom שלום. He prayed the Father on our behalf and His Words have never returned void. When we follow His commands and love one another we surrender to His Authority, and by following in His steps we accomplish His Will while we wait for His return and when He comes will He find שלום.
