10 DAYS OF AWE HIGH HOLY DAYS OF GOD!!!

The 10 Days of Awe
High Holy Days
Begins with the Feast of Trumpets SEPT 19 2009

Actually the Feast of Trumpets is a 2 day feast on the 23th & 24th
because the Feast of Trumpets is the ONLY Feast of The Lord
that NO MAN know the day or hour, no not even the angels.
To this day it remains a 2 day celebration because
no man knows the day or hour of the FEAST of TRUMPETS

In between the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah - 1st day of the 7th month) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) are 10 days, known as the Ten Days of Awe. These days begin with the blowing of the Shofar, the Feast of Trumpets, and conclude with Yom Kippur. There is an interesting ancient Jewish Tradition that says the sealing angel of Ezekiel chapter 9 and Revelation 7:2-4 and 9:4 is sent out to seal the people of God on Yom Kippur.
(also see John 14:12, Dan 11:32, Rom 8:18-22)
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ -
Adonai Yeshua ha Meshiach.
There is NO other Name.
There are many gods. There is only ONE True God, and NO OTHER Name. Any real true Christian knows this. Any real true Christian will publicly acknowledge The Lord Jesus Christ, in ANY and ALL prayer, in which he is asked to participate, even if he is the President. Otherwise he will not participate OR HE IS NOT a real true Christian.
Just another Fako Christian Actor, one of the MANY tares, among the FEW genuine.
Yes, Real True Christianity, is a VERY STRAIGHT & NARROW WAY.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do we grieve over Him Whom we pierce?

Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.


The 10 days of AWE are about REPENTANCE.
It is impossible to repRev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Do you know the King of Glory, the Lord of Sabbath, is at your door knocking every Friday evening? Can you say AMEN?

ent without the grace of God.




Brethren, the issue is not prayer, it is answered prayer. YHVH will answer prayer according to His WILL 'on earth as it is in heaven'.

HOWEVER IF we regard iniquity in our heart the Lord will not hear us.

We don't even know the extent of our own lawlessness, hence the need for counsel.
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Fire reveals the impurity. You cannot just look at the golden lump and see the impurity within. Gold refined by fire. Genuine faith. In the process of getting genuine faith.... THINGS WILL SURFACE. GARBAGE WILL COME UP. YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT THE CRUD THAT IS COMING TO THE TOP. HIDDEN SIN. HIDDEN ATTITUDES. HIDDEN LAWLESSNESS.



Repentance and calling out to the Lord are necessary all year. However, during the Days of Awe, the Ten Days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, it is more important because it is so written in the Word of God. The FEASTS are FEASTS of The Lord. "Seek The Lord while He may yet be found." When it is written in the Word of God that we are to be MOST diligently seeking Him? During the 10 Days of Awe, those who are wise, and show their love of the Lord by their obedience to His Word, will do as He commanded regarding His FEASTS.

Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

Lev 23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

Lev 23:37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,

Lev 23:44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

2 Chr 2:4 Behold, .... on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

Ezra 3:5 ..., and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated,

During these days, we are instructed to be more diligent than usual, as we ask The Lord to deal with us with special kindness. It is a time to afflict our soul. It is a time to look at our OWN heart.

Jer 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jesus Christ, Yeshua Messiah, died for SINNERS. IF, IF, IF we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

Here are the FEASTS of the LORD as given to Moses, and celebrated, and confirmed by Messiah Yeshua. The spring feasts point to Messiah's first coming as Messiah Ben Joseph, the suffering servant, sin bearer. The fall feasts point to Messiah's second coming as Messiah Ben David, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

1*.) The Lord's Passover. (Messiah is our Passover 1 Cor 5:7 & Isaiah 53)

2.) Unleavened bread. If we have been saved by Messiah, our Passover, Yeshua Messiah, then we should remove the puffing up, or vanity leaven, and get the sin out of our lives and walk in true humility with our God.

3.) First Fruits. "... Who brings forth Bread from the earth. Messiah, the Bread of Life, was Resurrected, the First fruit of those who will be brought forth from the grave of the earth to eternal life.

4*.) Shavot or Pentecost, Feast of Weeks, celebrating the giving of the Royal Law of God, the 10 Commandments, are 10 instructions about real true love. AND the celebration of the GIVING, by Messiah's finished work as the Lamb of God, The Spirit of Holiness, empowering us to KEEP and DO God's Royal Law from the new circumcised heart guided by the Spirit of Holiness and Truth.

5.) Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, the ONLY feast that no man knows the Day or Hour thereof. It is a 2 day celebration because no man knows the day or hour of the Feast of Trumpets. It is about the glorious second coming of Yeshua Messiah as the King of Kings. It is an alarm calling us to REPENT or PERISH.

6.) Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. This is the day when we remember that our sins were covered by the Blood of the Lamb of God. Remembering that the Blood of Yeshua is the price of our redemption, and the only acceptable Kippur or Covering for our sins.

7*.) Tabernacles, or Sukkot. We tabernacle with the Lord. After we have found repentance and covering, and atonement for our sin, we go camping with the Lord and marvel sleeping under the stars that He created, that the Awesome Creator has become our King, Savior, Redeemer and Friend. Alleluia!

* Required Feasts. If one was a DEVOUT man, he would go up to Jerusalem for these 3 required feasts. Yeshua risked His life at the hands of the religious leaders in Jerusalem to go up to Jerusalem for these required feasts. The religious leaders sought to kill Him, before it was time for Him to offer Himself as the Once For ALL Perfect Spotless Passover Lamb of God.

Yeshua was faithful to observe and celebrate these feasts of the Lord which ALL pointed to Himself. He gave us the example that we as His followers should observe and celebrate His feasts. We observe the Feasts of the Lord and have stopped learning the ways of the pagans and heathens to celebrate the feasts of Eastarte and the X-mass winter solstice celebration of the Babylonian sun god and queen of heaven. (See Jeremiah 10th Chapter) Yeshua, Jesus, observe these Feasts of the Lord, as an example that we should follow Him. Let us be diligent to Follow our Lord and Savior's example in observing the feasts as we are instructed.

Since 1999, the drought has been so severe in Israel, that there are many who celebrated all the feasts twice since 1999. The no rain judgment of Rev 11:6a is now HISTORY. The first month according to God's instructions to Moses, would begin on the new moon when the barley was Abib. The drought has been so severe since 1999, that the barley being Abib, until last year, has been a month later than the Rabbis have said. THIS YEAR, SINCE LAST FEAST OF TRUMPETS, ISRAEL HAS SEEN THE MOST ABUNDANT RAINS EVER.

The moon cycle is 29.5 days. This Year the Feast of Trumpets, according to the rabbis, AND the the word of the Lord given to Moses is Sept 27-28, 2003.

Why 2 days? Because NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR OF THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS.

NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR?

Christians over the centuries have separated themselves from their Hebraic roots causing the misunderstanding of key Jewish biblical idioms. An idiom is figure of speech, an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically. Idioms are figures of speech that cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements. Yeshua (Jesus) spoke those words concerning the Messianic Era in Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. He used a common Jewish figure of speech referring to a specific Feast of the Lord. In essence He was saying, "I am coming on Feast of Trumpets! Be watching!" That is the day to which the Jewish idiom would be referring.

Yeshua the Messiah, (Jesus The Christ) was Jewish, and lived a Torah-observant Jewish life. He communicated to His disciples in the Hebrew language, in Hebraic ways. What does it mean to communicate in Hebraic ways? It means to think and talk like a Jew.

Who or what is a Jew. The apostle Paul gives the best definition in Romans 2:28-29

Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

BE A GOD PLEASER - not a Self Pleaser, Man pleaser, or Church pleaser.

A true Jew is a spiritual thing. If you seek to please man, the pastor, the husband, the wife, or YOURSELF, then you are not a Jew. If you seek to PLEASE GOD regardless what anyone else thinks, then you are a Jew.

In Yeshua's day it meant to speak in the language and idioms of the day. Those who heard the Lord speak knew what He was saying and usually what He was alluding to, unless He was speaking in parables. Today's generation of believers struggles to understand His words and concepts. Speaking, like a Jewish Rabbi helped His mission in bringing the gospel message to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matt 15:24).

In Luke 23:31, Yeshua said: For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
In this verse Yeshua points His audience, who had portions of the writings of the Prophets memorized. When Yeshua said green tree and what shall be done in the dry - the minds of the people clicked to Ezekiel 20:45 to 21:7.

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more. Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.

Without question, Yeshua's hearers knew He referred to the time of Jacob's Trouble in the Great Tribulation. He warned His audience. But the death of Christ was his victory and triumph over his enemies. His death on a Roman cross was our deliverance, the purchase of eternal life for us. Therefore weep not for Him. BUT let us weep for our own sins, and the sins of our children, which caused His death. Weep for fear of the miseries we shall bring upon ourselves, if we slight His love, and reject His grace to find repentance. If God delivered Him up to such sufferings as these, because He was made a sacrifice for sin, what will He do with sinners themselves?

Unrepentant sinners themselves a dry tree, are good for nothing! The bitter sufferings of our Lord Jesus should make us stand in awe of the justice of God.

The best saints, compared with Christ, are dry trees; if He suffered, why do we not expect to suffer? And what then shall the damnation of sinners be! The sufferings of Christ should shout terror to obstinate transgressors, and those who do DISRESPECT TO HIS ROYAL LAW. (Rom 3:31 Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.)

God through the Messiah Yeshua spoke to the Jews in many portions and in many ways (Hebrews 1:1-2). Yeshua relied upon and used known figures of speech, common expressions, and direct thoughts from the Torah and Prophets. Every phrase and word from the mouth of the Lord meant something to His audience. He spoke with precision.

The "No man knows the day or hour" is one of the most interesting Jewish figures of speech. This figure of speech, or idiom, has been misunderstood by the Church over the years. In context, He refers to His second coming in triumph and, the beginning of the Messianic era and His millennial reign as King of kings over all the earth.

ROSH HASHANAH

The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the seventh month (Tishri).

Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

Themes linked to THIS Feast of the Lord are repentance, resurrection, kingship, coronation and a marriage feast. Rosh Hashanah is not only the start of "The Day of the Lord" (Millennium), but is also the day of the resurrection! It has to do with the moon and its 29-½-day cycle of renewal.

In this period of slightly less than 30 days, the moon goes from darkness to light and back to darkness again. This is not a haphazard occurrence attributed to evolution or science. God planned it for many reasons, one being as a picture of resurrection and renewal. With each cycle of nearly 30 days the ancient rabbis understood that the moon was being reborn or "born again."

NEW MOONS

In Yeshua's day, the moon was so important that a Jewish festival was proclaimed at the beginning of every month. This was called the New Moon Festival and in the apostle Paul makes note of it (Colossians 2:16). King David provoked King Saul over it (1Samuel 20:5). In the millennium all nations will celebrate the New Moon festival every month Isaiah 66:23. It is obvious from the Scriptures that in the millennium God has no plans to do away with His system.

Since it is so important, exactly what is a new moon? It is the opposite of a full moon. Every month the moon goes through a complete cycle of renewal called Rosh Chodesh, the head or beginning of the renewed month. Twelve times a year on Rosh Chodesh, the moon always starts off with its disk being very dark to the naked eye. Over the course of 15 days it gets brighter and brighter until it finally reaches a full white-faced disk or full moon. Over the next 15 days it becomes darker and darker and finally becomes invisible to the naked eye again.

The ancient rabbis saw a great lesson in this. Just as the moon has no light of its own but receives its light from the sun, so we too have no light of our own and must receive it from God. As the moon goes through a near 30-day cycle of dark to light to dark, so we need constant spiritual renewal and repentance. Like the moon, we too must be reborn or "born again" into the Messiah and constantly renewed through REPENTANCE. This is why God called the moon a faithful witness in the sky Psalm 89:37. We have lost touch with God's faithful witness in the sky. But Yeshua, and the people of His day never lost touch with it. The new moon was necessary for the Jewish calendar, and it was also a monthly festival celebrated with a feast fit for a king!

So, when Yeshua said His famous words Matthew 24:36, it had far-reaching implications. Here are the words of Yeshua in Matt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Taking phrases out of Jewish context can lead one to misunderstand His words. For example, in many places of the New Testament. Yeshua knew the future and talked about it openly. In one instance He warned His disciples about their future saying, "See, I have told you ahead of time" Matthew 24:25. His context concerned the tribulation, the destruction of the Temple, the rise and fall of false messiahs (antichrists), etc. If He knew the future in Matt 24:25, and the context is about the Day of Trouble. Why would He suddenly speak as though He did not know the future in the same context just 11 verses later in Matt 24:36? Was He confused? Or was He making perfect sense in light of the customs of the Jews? The phrase, "Of that day and hour no man knows" refers to the sanctification or setting apart of the new moon.

Twelve times a year a new Jewish month (Rosh Chodesh) was announced to the people. We have no system like it today. We look at a calendar to determine the first of the month; the Jews, however, looked at the moon. This system of time keeping was given to the Jews to know precisely when the Holy Feasts of the Lord would fall. The moon was the faithful Jewish calendar or witness in the sky. And 12 times a year was sanctified as the basis of the Jewish calendar.

To correctly announce the first day of the month, established by the new moon, was one of the Sanhedrin's greatest responsibilities. They had to ensure the people knew when the first of the month began 12 times a year! Therefore God said to the leaders of Israel:

Leviticus 23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

As soon as the new moon was announced, the first day of the month began. In Hebrew, those observances have always been called "appointed times" or moedim, literally "a sacred and set time". From God's perspective, the appointed times belong to Him and no one has the authority to change the celebration of an appointed time. To do so was a serious matter and great sin. Appointed times had to be kept because of their Messianic implications.

Also notice the phrase, "holy convocation". God's appointed times are actually "holy rehearsals" set apart to reflect events in the Messianic era. God said to the people, "Pay attention! On this day I am going to do something! Wake-up! The Jews were to know and practice all of God's holy convocations. This is the essence of Paul's words that the Shabbat, new moons and festivals, "are a shadow of things to come to the body of Messiah" (Colossians 2:17).

Twice a year, in the spring and fall, there were several appointed times and specific days of holy convocation dedicated to the Lord. The new moon was the key in being able to fulfill those set times, holy convocations and rehearsals. For example, when the new moon was announced on the first day of Nisan, also called Aviv, or Abib, the people knew when to observe the holy convocations and set times.

Again, once the Sanhedrin set Rosh Chodesh, or the beginning of the new month by sighting the new moon, the rest of the festivals were calculated. However because of the 29.5 day cycle, and a 365.25 day year some years would need a 13th month. Determining the new moon in the FIRST month of Abib or Nissan was the most important for that determination set the appointed times or Feast of the Lord for the whole year. That first month called Nissan was also called Abib. When the BARLEY WAS ABIB. When the barley would be abib means that it has grain heads at the time of the new moon in Jerusalem. This can also be effected by a lack of sufficient rain. With no rain the barley seeds would not germinate. The barley would not be seen abib if there was no rain. Then, all the feasts of the Lord would be postponed by a month in that year.

The seventh month, Tishri, was particularly important because it was the only month that had a holy convocation or appointed time on the first day of the month. This posed a unique problem. The first day of Tishri was the appointed time called Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24). Yet no one could begin observing the festival until they heard those famous words from the President of the Sanhedrin, "Sanctified!" No one in Israel could plan for the first day of the seventh month Tishri, called Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets (also called Rosh Hashanah). When they knew how many days to count to a festival, that would be easy.

But: HOW COULD THEY PLAN FOR A FESTIVAL THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW AT WHAT DAY OR HOUR IT WOULD PUBLICLY BE ANNOUNCED AND THUS BEGIN?

That is why, to this day, the Feast of Trumpets is a 2 day feast of the Lord.

This was unique to Rosh Hashanah and dependent upon the testimony of the two witnesses. Prophetically, we are informed of two important witnesses during the Great Tribulation: Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto My Two Witnesses, and they will prophesy 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.

Of course, anyone could look up into the twilight or early morning sky and, if they looked hard enough, see the new moon or at least its "horns". And certainly a good observer knew when about 29-½ days were completed since the previous Rosh Chodesh. Once proclaimed, the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) commenced. Until that public announcement, everyone had to wait before they could begin the observance of the festival. No one could begin the festival beforehand! Thus, we can more clearly see the analogy Jesus made with His words:

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" was in regard to this important festival of the Feast of Trumpets. Jesus told the apostles as clearly as possible that His Second coming and end of the age of grace and testing of mankind as we know it, was what the Feast of Trumpets is all about. The Feast of Trumpets calls us to seek the Lord while HE MAY YET BE FOUND!

Feast of Trumpets, Modern Rosh Hashanah, is the sounding of the trumpets on the first day of the seventh month (Tishri) of the religious calendar year (Lev. 23:24; Num. 29:1). The trumpet referred to here was the shofar, a ram's horn. It was distinctive from the silver trumpets blown on the other new moons. Silver trumpets were sounded at the daily burnt offering and at the beginning of each new month (Num. 10:10), but the shofar specifically was blown on the beginning of the month Tishri.

This day evolved into the second most holy day on the modern Jewish religious calendar. It begins the "ten days of awe" before the day of atonement. According to Lev. 23:24-27 the celebration consisted of the blowing of trumpets, a time of rest, and "an offering made by fire."

HOW TO KEEP THE APPOINTED FEAST OF TRUMPETS

The scriptural recommended way of observing this feast is the way Ezra lead the people of God. The book of the Law, the book of Deuteronomy, should be read September 18-19. You will be blessed if you read the entire book of Deuteronomy on the Feast of Trumpets. Seek the Lord for the gift of grace, the gift of repentance at this time. Seek the Lord while HE MAY YET BE FOUND!

The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur came on the tenth day of the seventh month (Tishri-Sept./Oct.) and the fifth day before the feast of tabernacles (Lev. 16:1-34; Num. 29:7-11). According to Leviticus 23:27-28, four main elements comprise this most significant feast. First, it was to be a "holy convocation," drawing the focus of the people to the altar of divine mercy. The holy One of Israel called the people of Israel to gather in His presence and give their undivided attention to Him. Secondly, they were to "humble their souls" ("afflict your souls," Lev. 23:27). This was explained by later tradition to indicate fasting and repentance. Israel understood that this was a day for mourning over their sins. The seriousness of this requirement is reiterated in Leviticus 23:29, "For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people." Thirdly, offerings are central to the day of atonement. The Bible devotes an entire chapter (Lev. 16) to them. They are also listed in Numbers 29:7-11. In addition to these, when the day fell on a Sabbath, the regular Sabbath offerings were offered. The fourth and final element of the day involved the prohibition of labor. The day of atonement was a "Sabbath of rest" (Lev. 23:32), and the Israelites were forbidden to do any work at all. If they disobeyed, they were liable to capital punishment (Lev. 23:30).

The center point of this feast involved the high priest entering the holy of holies. Before entering, the high priest first bathed his entire body, going beyond the mere washing of hands and feet as required for other occasions. This washing symbolized his desire for purification. Rather than donning his usual robe and colorful garments (described in Ex. 28 and Lev. 8), he was commanded to wear special garments of linen. Also, the high priest sacrificed a bullock as a sin offering for himself and for his house (Lev. 16:6). After filling his censer with live coals from the altar, he entered the holy of holies where he placed incense on the coals. Then he took some of the blood from the slain bullock and sprinkled it on the mercy seat ("atonement cover,") and also on the ground in front of the ark, providing atonement for the priesthood (Lev. 16:14-15). Next he sacrificed a male goat as a sin offering for the people. Some of this blood was then also taken into the holy of holies and sprinkled there on behalf of the people (Lev. 16:11-15). Then he took another goat, called the "scapegoat" (for "escape goat"), laid his hands on its head, confessed over it the sins of Israel, and then released it into the desert where it symbolically carried away the sins of the people (Lev. 16:8,10). The remains of the sacrificial bullock and male goat were taken outside the city and burned, and the day was concluded with additional sacrifices.

According to Hebrews chapters 8, 9, &10, this ritual is a symbol of the atoning work of Christ, our great high Priest. He did not need to make any sacrifice for Himself but shed His own blood for our sins. As the high priest of the Old Testament entered the holy of holies with the blood of sacrificial animals, Jesus entered heaven itself to appear on our behalf in front of the Father (Heb. 9:11,12). Each year the high priest repeated his sin offerings for his own sin and the sins of the people, giving an annual reminder that perfect and permanent atonement had not yet been made. But Jesus, through His own blood, accomplished eternal redemption for His people (Heb. 9:12). Just as the sacrifice of the day of atonement was burned outside the camp of Israel, Jesus suffered outside the gate of Jerusalem so that He might redeem His people from sin (Heb. 13:11,12).

The modern Jewish day of atonement (Yom Kippur) is devoid of blood sacrifice but does include a ten-day period (called "days of awe") of penitence, prayer, and fasting in preparation for the most solemn day on the Jewish religious calendar. The feast of Rosh Hashanah (the head of the year) initiates this ten-day period.

Let us try to UNDERSTAND the term

"Feast of the Jews" found in the New Testament

One of the most sad and grievous things in the realm of religion, is how that some people have so perverted, and twisted, and wrested the scriptures, so as to justify Jew hatred and anti-Semitism. These sad, sorry, deceived, and deluded people are champions of Satan the devil. They compound their iniquity by doing their work for the devil, in the name of Jesus Christ. The bible says they are going to be cursed by God.

Christians should not hate anyone and ESPECIALLY not the Jews. In the New Testament, over 20 times we are told that Yeshua, Jesus, is the King of the Jews. Yet these people do not want to obey THE KING. They will say they have somehow replaced Israel. They will say that they are the true Jews. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yet they use the name of Jesus to justify their devilish hatred of Jews. Indeed there are those who say they are Jews, and are not. But it is much more sure that these Jew haters who call themselves Christians, are NOT Christians. Some estimate that perhaps only 2% of those who call themselves Christians really are, in this crocked generation which is on a collision course with the Judgment of God Almighty.

These hate groups, often called Identity groups, by their perversion and wresting of the scriptures, serve the devil in the name of Jesus Christ. God has said He will bless those who bless the Jews and curse those who curse them. Somehow the devil has so twisted these racial identity groups to hate the people that God said we are to bless. Unless they repent, people like Pete Peters are most certainly going to go to hell. Racism and anti-Semitism is a work of iniquity. Heaven will be full of redeemed sinners, and there will be NO WORKERS of INIQUITY. Mat 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work INIQUITY. The identity racial hatred groups will be CURSED BY GOD.

The truth is that Yeshua, Jesus IS King of the Jews. Therefore, if you claim to love Jesus, you MUST love and identify with the Jewish people. Yes, we MUST love the Jews, the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or else we will stand the very real possibility of being CURSED by the God of Abraham.

Here is the best definition of a Jew ever written:
Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

BE A GOD PLEASER - that is how this definition from the word of God defines a Jew. Can you identify with that? Are you a God Pleaser? We should IDENTIFY with that. Let us stand with, and be complimented to be called Jews, and Jew lovers. To be a real genuine Christian you can be no other way.

Now what about the Jews delivering Jesus to be crucified. They were the designated priests of God. They had to be the ones to sacrifice the Lamb of God. What a big mistake the devil made when he got the Jewish High Priest to sacrifice the Lamb of God. 1 Cor 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

These are My Feasts saith the Lord. God does NOT change. How come the New Testament makes reference to Feasts of the Jews? The word Jews is found 175 times in the New Testament and 65 times in John's Gospel. John is the only one who makes this reference to "Feast of the Jews." He is not at all saying The Feasts of the Lord are Feasts of the Jews as some people like to think. God does NOT Change. These are MY feasts Saith the Lord. They are Feasts of the Lord, and soon we will see that John confirms and affirms that truth.

John's gospel is most often used by the apostate "identity" hate groups. The perverse "Identity" groups use John's gospel to make negative, misleading and false statements, to induce hatred of the Jews. They will say things such as "the Jews did persecute Jesus." "The Jews sought to kill Him." "The Jews spoke against Him." "The Jews did not believe Him." "The Jews took up stones to stone Him." "The Jews put pressure on Pilot to kill Him." All of these statements may be wrested from John's gospel and demonstrates a willing ignorance in wresting the scripture, and NOT rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

The anti-Semitic atrocities committed in the name of the church of Jesus Christ through the last sixteen hundred years, which claimed New Testament justification, requires repentance, and not continued perverse wresting of the scriptures. It helps nothing to assume such long history of perverse action justifies the atrocities in any way. Rightly dividing the Word of truth should have stopped such atrocities from the beginning. But the historical Jew hatred, especially from the Roman Catholic Church, is one long gross sad history of iniquity.

Anyone who would rightly divide the word of truth, would show that Yeshua and the New Testament, strongly condemn anti-Semitism. Any form of ethnic or racial hatred, is condemned as a work of iniquity. To say that "the Jews," as used in John's gospel, meant that the whole nation was against Him, is ridiculous. That would be about the same as saying the "white people" in America opposed Abraham Lincoln, and had him killed. It does not take rocket scientist mentality to recognize that it was a small religious group which opposed Jesus.

Do you consider Jesus your KING? The Bible says 22 times in the New Testament that Jesus is the King of the Jews. Does that make you want to be a Jew so that Jesus, who is the King of the Jews, will be your King? Indeed this is the meaning which Paul gives us that Jesus, Yeshua, is King of the God Pleasers. Do you identify with this? Do you desire Jesus as your King? BE a God Pleaser, not a self pleaser, or a man pleaser. You can not claim to be a Christian and hate Jews. That is an oxymoron.

Every time, all 66 times, John uses the word Jews in his gospel, he uses the Greek word IOUDAIOS - G2453. The best definition of IOUDAIOS, would be that small religious group of rulers of Judea. IOUDAIOS would distinguish Judean Jews, especially in the Temple Religious Complex, FROM ALL OTHER Jews, such as Galilean Jews, or Jews of the Diaspora. It most CERTAINLY WOULD NOT REPRESENT THE ENTIRE JEWISH RACE or nation. To say or believe that ALL the Jews hated and wanted to kill Jesus - Makes as much sense as to say ALL the white people in America hated and wanted to kill Abraham Lincoln. It must also be remembered that it was necessary for the designated High Priest to offer the sacrifice which would sprinkle the BLOOD of the SIN offering on the Mercy Seat. 1 Cor 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Now we come to the term that John uses "Feast of the Jews." Here again we see the FACT that John's Gospel use of Jews INVARIABLY represents that very small sub group of Jewish religious rulers IN JERUSALEM. There were 3 feasts ,of the 7 FEASTS of THE LORD, wherein Jewish men were required to go up to Jerusalem, specifically to the temple mount. That is what makes a Jew to be a DEVOUT man as in Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Devout men were the men who would come in from the Diaspora, (all over the world), to go up to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem for the 3 required FEASTS of THE LORD. The 3 required FEASTS of THE LORD are Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. That is PRECISELY the usage, and exactly what John is doing, when he uses the term Feast of the Jews. John is designating that the feast was one of the FEASTS of THE LORD, where the men were required to go up to the Temple Complex in Jerusalem. The use of the word Jews in John's Gospel, almost always refers to that small group in the religious complex at the Temple, or to those directly under their control or influence. In no case other than the exception of being King of the Jews would it refer to a race or nation, physical, or spiritual.

Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

The FEASTS are FEASTS of THE LORD. John's usage of the term "Feast of the Jews" was specifically used to designate a feast in which devout men would go up to the Temple in Jerusalem, either the Passover FEAST of THE LORD, Pentecost FEAST of THE LORD, or Tabernacles FEAST of THE LORD, was specifically designated by John using the "Feast of the Jews" term. For men had to go to the Temple Complex in Jerusalem for those specific feasts of the Lord, in order to be devout men.

It is important for us to understand this. We should be ready to stand against the perverters of scripture who misuse the term Jew in the gospels and wrest and pervert it to justify the iniquity of racism in general, and anti-Semitism in particular.

It was the BURDEN OF THE LORD for the designated High Priest to sacrifice the ONCE for ALL SIN offering of the Lamb of God. 1 Cor 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Yeshua Messiah was crucified because of MY Sins. Jesus Christ was crucified because of your sins. That is the understanding we must have - That Jesus Christ who IS Come in the Flesh, was sacrifice on that Cross of Calvary for my sins. I am justified by the Faith in that perfect sacrifice of the Lamb of God for my sins. That does not give me a license to sin. By the power of His Holy Spirit it gives me the power to STOP SINNING. That is the real Christian faith which establishes the LAW. Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Leviticus 16:29 - 17:11

And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the L-RD.

It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:

And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.

And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the L-RD commanded Moses.

And the L-RD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the L-RD hath commanded, saying,

What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the L-RD before the tabernacle of the L-RD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the L-RD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the L-RD.

And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the L-RD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the L-RD.

And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the L-RD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

X. SCRIPTURE READINGS & PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION

Exo 32:7-14 And the L-RD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

And the L-RD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

And Moses besought the L-RD his G-d, and said, L-RD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

And the L-RD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Exo 32:30-32 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the L-RD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

And Moses returned unto the L-RD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

Deu 9:18 And I fell down before the L-RD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the L-RD, to provoke him to anger.

Deu 9:25-29 Thus I fell down before the L-RD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the L-RD had said he would destroy you.

I prayed therefore unto the L-RD, and said, O L-rd G-D, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the L-RD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

Isa 64:1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence.

Isa 64:4-12 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O G-d, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

But now, O L-RD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Be not wroth very sore, O L-RD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O L-RD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

Isa 65:8-9 Thus saith the L-RD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

Isa 65:17-25 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an

hundred years old shall be accursed.

And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the L-RD, and their offspring with them.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the L-RD.

Dan 9:4-19 And I prayed unto the L-RD my G-d, and made my confession, and said, O L-rd, the great and dreadful G-d, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;

We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

O L-rd, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

O L-rd, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

To the L-rd our G-d belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

Neither have we obeyed the voice of the L-RD our G-d, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.

Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of G-d, because we have sinned against him.

And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the L-RD our G-d, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

Therefore hath the L-RD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the L-RD our G-d is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.

And now, O L-rd our G-d, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

O L-rd, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

Now therefore, O our G-d, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the L-rd's sake.

O my G-d, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

O L-rd, hear; O L-rd, forgive; O L-rd, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my G-d: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

Rom 9:1-5 I say the truth in Messiah, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

For I could wish that myself were accursed from Messiah for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of G-d, and the promises;

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Messiah came, who is over all, G-d blessed for ever. Amen.

Rom 11:1-2 I say then, Hath G-d cast away his people? G-d forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

G-d hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to G-d against Israel, saying,

Rom 11:22-36 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of G-d: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for G-d is able to graft them in again.

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

For the gifts and calling of G-d are without repentance.

For as ye in times past have not believed G-d, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

For G-d hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of G-d! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

For who hath known the mind of the L-rd? or who hath been his counsellor?

Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

XI. KADDISH

Reader: Let his name be glorified and sanctified throughout the universe which he created according to his purpose. May he bring about the reign of his kingdom in your lifetime, in your days and in the lifetime of all the house of Israel, speedily, soon! And let all say, "Amen."

Congregation: Let his great Name be praised forever and ever, eternally!

Reader: Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, magnified and lauded, be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be he; although he is far greater than all blessings, hymns, praises, and songs which are offered in the world; and all say, Amen. May the prayers and supplications of all Israel be accepted by their Father who is in Heaven; and all say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life for us and for all Israel; and all say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life for us and for all Israel; and all say, Amen.

May he who makes peace in His high places make peace for us and for all Israel, and all say, Amen.

PAST and FUTURE - The Feasts of the LORD Are Important

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Every one of the Feasts of The LORD are prophetic pictures of good things to come. The spring feasts are a picture of the Messiah who would come, who did come, Who IS Come, as the suffering servant, The Lamb of God, prophesied by Abraham, who pays the atoning sin sacrifice, for the sins of mankind. The gospels clearly show Yeshua’s fulfillment of the spring feasts. The fall feasts, the 10 Days of Awe in particular, are about His return as the Lion of Judah, the King of Kings, who will tread out the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God Almighty. The 10 Days of Awe are about Tshuva, REPENTANCE, and begin with the Feast of Trumpets, the evening of Sept 19, 2009 and climaxing with the ONLY biblically REQUIRED fast day, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, September 28, 2009.


Few today, understand the meaning of the term DEVOUT found 9 times, only in the New Testament. Devout men such as Cornelius reverenced God, gave alms, and prayed continuously (Acts. 10:2). For Jews, there was a standard of the Law of Moses, that the LORD required His people to be in Jerusalem for the three REQUIRED Feasts of the LORD. 1. Passover, 2. Pentecost, and 3. Feast of Tabernacles. Each of the REQUIRED pilgrimage Feasts of the Lord, was a rehearsal, and a prophetic picture of prophecy, that God's people were to prepare themselves, for the expectation of the Messiah to come - BOTH times. First as the LAMB of God, Messiah Ben Joseph, the suffering servant and sin sacrifice. SECOND, as the LION of Judah, Messiah Ben David, the KING of Kings, and LORD of Lords. At His SECOND COMING He will tread the winepress of the WRATH of God Almighty. The Holy Bible, in the torah, COMMANDS that these feast are to be honored FOREVER.

The Spring feasts are in the month of Abib or Nissan (Mid March to Mid May time frame). Abib, or Nissan, is the Beginning of Months. Nissan or Abib is when the barley crop is abib, or has grain heads, when the new moon occurs. It is when the rabbis, who sit in Moses' seat, say it is. We, or NO other SPECIAL group, need to watch the moon and barley crop. That would be following a religious spirit, rather than the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus Christ made that VERY clear in Matt 23:1-3. (Any Lunar Sabbath keeper should be given warning to cast out the demonic religious counterfeit spirit.) Nissan, or Abib, is the First Month. The New Year DOES NOT begin in the fall; but, in the spring as The LORD instructed Moses. The Spring feasts are in the Month of Abib, or Nissan, which will occur in what today is called Mid March to Mid May, time frame.

DAY OF PREPERATION (Day before Passover): On Abib 14. a. Originally the day the lambs were killed in Egypt and the blood placed over the door post and lintle of the Israelite dwellings. b. The day Yeshua, Jesus, was crucified, died, and was buried, in the middle of the week, Wednesday, just before dark, at even, (Dan 9:27 & Exo 12:18 & Lev 23:5 ). c. The Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua THE Messiah, THE Lamb of God, was sacrificed on a Roman Cross, outside the walls of Jerusalem on WEDNESDAY, Nissan 14, the Day of Preparation, (Wednesday NOT Friday) Nissan 14, 30 C.E., or Wednesday, April 3rd, in 30 A.D..

You are encouraged to click up and read this page regarding the PROOF of what Day of the Week the Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified, and what Day of the Week that He was RISEN from that death on the Cross. http://www.moresureword.com/whenres.htm

The evidence presented there should dispense with ANY doubt, regarding the FACT that The Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified, and Buried, on WEDNESDAY, Nissan 14, or April 3, 30 AD, outside the walls of Jerusalem. The evidence presented there proves conclusively, that Yeshua THE Messiah was Resurrected on the SABBATH, as Lord of the Sabbath, on Saturday, at evening exactly 72 hours from when He died on that Roman Cross and was buried, outside the walls of Jerusalem, on Wednesday Abib 14, 30 CE.

Beginning of the Spring Feasts or the FORMER rain.

1. FEAST OF PESACH (Passover) Ex 12:14: On Abib 14, which originally was the day the Angel of Death passed over the Israelites in Egypt.

2. FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD (Seven days) Ex 12:17; 34:23; Lev 23:15-17; Num 28:26: a. Originally observed as the week for removing the leaven (sin) from the house, and the eating each day, of unleavened bread, in remembrance of the hasty deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt’s boondage. (Deliverance from the devil’s bondage to sin). The True God Sets FREE from Bondage and every false god is a control freak. Through Messiah, our Passover, THE Lamb of God, we may be set free from the bondage of sin, and set free from serving Satan by design or ignorance.

3. THE DAY OF EARLY FIRSTFRUITS – RESURRECTION – Messiah Yeshua is the First Fruit proving the Resurrection of the dead and promise of eternal life. (Yom Habikkurim or Sfirat Haomer): Lev 23:5-12,21: First day after weekly Sabbath meaning "the promise to come." a. Originally, this was the time to reap the harvest, and to wave a sheaf of the firstfruits of barley before The LORD, at the temple, by the priest, expressing thankfulness for the land. b. The same day deliverance for the Hebrews out of Egypt began. c. This was the day AFTER Yeshua resurrected, that Mary met Him in the garden, just before He ascended to His Father to make atonement, (Heb 9:11-12).

4. FEAST OF SHAVOUT OR WEEKS (Pentecost, means 50): The counting of the Omer, seven (7) weeks or fifty (50) days from the day of Firstfruits, this is also called the Later Firstfruits. Also referred to as the Day of Assembly in Deut 18:16. a. Originally the day the law was given to the Israelites at Mt. Sinai, 50 days after they left Egypt; Three thousand slain. b. The priest waved two loaves of leavened bread (wheat), made from the new flour, before The LORD c. The day the Holy Spirit was given to the apostles, 50 days AFTER Passover First Fruits, that is 50 days after the Resurrection of Yeshua; Three thousand received salvation on that First Pentecost after Yeshua's resurrection and ascension.

Beginning of Fall Feasts, or the LATER rain, or double outpouring rain (Hosea 6:1-3; Joel 2:23; Zech.12:10). The Fall Feasts, or high holy days, is a picture of the Messiah as the conquering, reining King, as He is fulfilling His role on the earth. The book of revelation depicts the fulfillment of the Fall Feasts of The LORD.

THE DAYS OF TESHUVAH (Return or Repentance): On Elul 1(August or September - 6 months after Passover, which is the first month of Abib). This starts 30 days before the Feast of Trumpets. Feast of Trumpets is Tshri 1 (7th Month - September or October - in the 7th month. Remember Passover is in Abib, or Nissan, the first month) The days of Teshuvah, or days of Repentance, ends Tshri 10 - on Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement, (total of 40 days). The 40 days of Teshuvah, is a time of returning and repenting before The LORD. During those 40 days, and especially the last 10, and most particularly the LAST day of Yom Kippur, we prepare our heart by seeking forgiveness, through repentance. The last 10 days - the 10 days starting wth the Feast of Trumpets and ending with the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, are known as the Days of Awe.

4. DAY OR FEAST OF TRUMPETS (Rosh HaShanah or Yom Teruach) Num 29:1; Lev 23:23-25: On Tishri 1. Rosh HaShanah means "head of the year." According to Jewish tradition, on this day the gates of heaven are opened, (Rev 3:7-11). Tradition has it as the anniversary of the creation of the world and the beginning of the Kingdom of HaShem (God), Adam and Eve were created, the flood waters dried up, Enoch was taken by the LORD; Sarah, Rachel, and Samuel were conceived, Joseph was freed from prison by Pharaoh, forced labor of Hebrews in Egypt ended, Job contracted leprosy, the start of sacrifices on the altar built by Ezra. According to Jewish tradition all of those events happened on Tishri 1. The Feast of Trumpets is celebrated by blowing trumpets (shofar) 100 times to announce the setting up of The LORD's eternal court.

The sounding of the shofar reminds us of the binding of Isaac by his father Abraham, and we too must be willing to make such sacrifices. On this day we reaffirm our acceptance of The LORD as our King, and He judges all of His human creatures on this day and decides on their fate in the coming year. It is the first month of the new civil year. These 10 days are called the Days of Awe or High Holy Days. This was also the time to bring all of your tithe (10th) for the poor, widows, orphans, and the Levite priest who have no inheritance. Over these 10 days the wheat will be brought in on the threshing floor and separated from the chaff. This 2-day feast comes AT A DAY AND HOUR NO MAN KNOWS and you are not required to go up to the temple on this day. a. This is the day set up to remember the blowing of trumpets when the great sign appeared in the heavens of the announcement of Yeshua’s birth (Lion of Judah), which the Chaldean astronomers had been watching, and waiting for, for over four hundred years, (Rev.12:1-2). b. Will be the announcement of Yeshua’s second coming and the Resurrection of the Saints, (IThess 4:16,17). c. Will be the end of Jacob’s trouble, (Jer 30:7). d. Will be the end of first Gog Magog War at the start of the millennial reign of King Yeshua.

6. DAY OF ATONEMENT (Yom Kippur) Lev 16:29; 23:26-32: On Tishri 10. Will end the 70th week of Daniel 9, and the culmination of the prophecy of Daniel. It is the final day of the 10 Days of Awe. This is the most solemn and holy day in the Jewish year and is spent Fasting, Praying, and Confession of Sins. Yom Kippur is the only REQURED FAST day of the year, in the Holy Bible. Yom Kippur is the day the chaff was burned up on the threshing floor on the temple mount, and this is the day the gates of heaven are closed, (Rev 3:7-11), and those who are not atoned for, will be judged. According to ancient Jewish tradition, this is the day when the sealing angel of Ezekiel 9, Rev 7:2-3, and Rev 9:4, is sent forth to seal the people of God. a. Originally this was the only day of the year, that the high priest could enter the veil, into the Holy of Holies, to make atonement for the sins of the nation, by sacrificing an animal and placing 7 drops of blood on the east end of the top of the ark of the covenant, or mercy seat. b. This was the day the transfiguration took place with Moses and Elijah, representing the Torah and the Prophets, and the day Yeshua’s ministry was confirmed after the order of Melchizedek. c. This also may be the day of the abomination and desolation, when the ANTICHRIST will STOP the OBLATION Altar. God will judge every human heart, regarding if it is like the Holy Spirit filled apostles, who would risk their life, twice a day, every day, AFTER Pentecost, to show RESPECT for the OBLATION Altar - OR - like the antichrist, who wants the OBLATION altar Stopped. (Dan 11:31, 12:11; Mt 24:15, Mk 13:14). d. Will be Judgment Day, or the Day of the Lord, (2Pet 3:10-13; Matt 25:31-34; 2Cor 5:10). e. The day Satan will be locked away for one thousand years.

7. FEAST OF SUKKOT (Tabernacles, or Booths) Lev 23:33-43; Ex 23:16; 34:22, John 7:2: On Tishri 15. This was the first day the glory of The LORD showed Himself in the tent of meeting. The Hebrew word Sukkot means hut, or booth, or tent. a. Originally commanded by The LORD for the Israelites to observe, for seven (7) days, in remembrance of The LORD and their Hebrew ancestors living in tents in the wilderness. Over these seven days a total of 70 bulls were sacrificed, representing a bull for every nation. b. Birth of Yeshua, yes, the birth of Jesus, is NOT the pagan Tamuz, or X-mass celebration. Yeshua was born on the Feast of Tabernacles. Tabernacles is the, true birthday of Jesus, Sept 23rd, Feast of Sukkot. And the Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us, when God took on Himself a tabernacle of flesh, Emmanuel, God with us, The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). c. All the nations will one day celebrate this feast, (Zec 14:16) d. Will be the Marriage Supper (Feast) with the Lamb, (Rev 19:7,8).

The LAST GREAT DAY: (Seven Days after Sukkot) On Tishri 22. As a special part of the celebration once a year, the priest on this day, would go down to Gahanna and draw water from the well of salvation, (well of Yeshua) mixed with a little wine, and pour it over the alter, to remind the people of the coming Messiah, that would pour out the Holy Spirit (Isa 12:1-3). The water and wine mixed looked like blood. a. Yeshua was circumcised on that day. b. Yeshua claimed to be the living water to the priest in the temple as they poured out the water on the alter, (John 4:14; 7:37-38). c. Will be the day of the pouring out of the Lord's Spirit on all flesh, later rain. d. Will be the Last Great Battle of Armageddon, and the return of Yeshua, (2nd coming) and the beginning of His millennium rein! e. Will be the day of the resurrection of the wicked dead AFTER the millennium for the judgment.

In Addition to the 7 Feasts of the Lord, the Jews have 2 other feasts that are optional. Those feasts are Hanukkah and Purim. Yeshua risked His life to go to the temple at the feast of Deducation, (Hanukkah), to declare that He is the Light of the world. Therefore, of these 2 extra feasts, it would seem that Christians have good reason to celebrate Hanukkah, when Jesus declared that He is the Light of the world.

FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS or FEAST OF DEDICATION (Hanukkah): Approximately 60 days after the Last Great Day on Kislew 25. a. Originally the day the 2nd temple was rededicated after it was defiled by the Greek Syrian ruler Antiochus IV, who slaughtered a pig on the alter. Thousands of Jews were massacred during the years of this war. The feast marked the end of the war, which was led by the Jewish leader, Yehudah Maccabee, to recapture Jerusalem. This celebration lasted eight (8) days, and is observed with a 9-candle menorah, and is in commemoration to the miracle of the oil burning in the temple 7 branch menorah, for 8 days, in 164 B.C. b. During this time Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel and told she was going to conceive by the Holy Spirit, and give birth to the Messiah, and the conception took place Teveth 2, which was the last day of the celebration of Hanukkah. c. Yeshua declared Himself to be the light of the world during this feast, (John 9:5-7; 10:22). d. Today this is a celebration of the rededication of our bodies (temples) to serving The LORD, Yeshua, Jesus, who is the light of the world.

PURIM (Feast of Lots): On Adar 14. a. Originally this is the celebration of the deliverance of the Persian Jews from a plot to exterminate them. Both Israel and Judah had been divided but had to unite and turn to The LORD for mercy. A lottery decided which day the Jews would die, and the day was Adar 13, but Esther exposed the lies of Haman to the King, and he was hanged, and Mordecai took his place as the king’s chief minister. The Jewish nation earned the right to leave exile, return to the Holy Land, and rebuild the temple, (Esther 9:20-32). b. The story of Purim is symbolic in that Esther fasted for three (3) days and then rose to go before the King to save all Israel, just as Yeshua was in the tomb in the eatrh for three (3) days and then rose to bring salvation to the world. c. Haman represented the sinful flesh, which was put to death. Mordecai represented the Messiah Yeshua, and was given unlimited command with great celebration.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Feasts of the Lord are very helpful in understanding the book of
The Revelation. The Temple really is the scene of the visions. When
we can understand what was ordained by God to be done in the Temple,
that can give us great insight to have understanding of the prophecy
of the Revelation. What Moses was instructed to make was a PATTERN
of this Temple of which John was given revelation in heaven. The
visions in the Temple relate to the feasts of the seventh month
which are all about the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ as
the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The fall feasts of the Lord tell of
the coming of Messiah Ben David, the KING of Kings and LORD of
Lords.

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to
show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and
he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of
this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for
the time is at hand.

No people ever reading the prophecy of the Revelation had more
reason to believe that we may understand the Revelation in fullness.
No people ever reading the Revelation have such reason to beleive
the time is at hand, as we have as we look at the Revelation TODAY.

The Passover feast of the Lord, the feasts of the First Month, are
about Messiah's first coming as Messiah Ben Joseph, the Suffering
Servant, the Most Holy, Sin Sacrifice, the Lamb of God. The Son of
God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, and He did
that, and He said, IT IS FINISHED. Alleluia Yeshua.

The feasts of the First Month are about Messiah's First Coming and
the Feasts of the seventh month are about His Second Coming.
Messiah's first coming had been completed when John was given the
REVELATION. This revelation is about the feasts of the seventh
month, the revelation regarding the Second Coming of Adonai Yeshua
Ha Meshiach, the Lord Jesus Christ.

On the first day of the Seventh month, is the feast that no man
knoweth the day or hour thereof, not even the angels, the Feast of
Trumpets. On that first day of the Seventh month, in the morning,
the High-Priest trimmed the lamps. Therefore, this Prophecy begins
with a vision of one like the Son of man, in the High-Priest's
garments, appearing in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks,
in the midst of them, trimming the lamps. He does this with what
appeared like a rod of seven stars in his right hand: and this
preparing of the lamps is done by the sending seven instructions to
the Angels and/or pastors of the seven Churches.

These preparations for the churches contain warnings against the
approaching Apostasy, and therefore relate to the times when the
Apostasy began to work strongly, and before it prevailed. It began
to work in the Apostles days, and was to continue working until the
man of sin would be revealed to the world in fullness. It began to
work in the metaphysical Gentiles, (New Age & WordFaith), and
Kabalistic Jews. Such groups used to be called Gnostics, or those
who had special hidden knowledge. This is occultic, hidden knowledge
is the meaning of occult, or as Daniel called it, understanding DARK
sentences. The occult is the OPPOSITE of true faith in Messiah,
which puts everything IN THE LIGHT.

John calls the Gnostics of his time Antichrists. In his First
Epistle, John says that in his days there were many Antichrists. The
Apostles EARNESTLY CONTENDED with the synagogue of Satan of the
Gnostics. By the Apostles condemning them so authoritatively, the
Churches were safe from the Gnostic attacks during the opening of
the first four seals. The visions at the opening of the first four
seals deal with civil affairs of the heathen Roman Empire. As long
as the Apostolic doctrine prevailed, the Church remained in purity
of the Faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fifth seal marks the
departure of the Church from the doctrine of the Apostles, and the
Church's need to be admonished and chastised by these Epistles.
These admonishments and chastisements would continue until the
Apostasy, the great falling away from THE Faith took place.

This great falling away from THE Faith is marked in time by the
opening of the seventh seal. The admonitions in these seven Epistles
relate to the state of the Church in the times of the fifth and
sixth seals. At the opening of the fifth seal, the Church is purged
from hypocrites by a great persecution. The hypocrites will NOT
ENDURE persecution, and Jesus tells us that those who ENDURE TO THE
END, are the ones who will be saved. When the sixth seal is opened,
that which restrained is taken out of the way, namely the sovereign
nation states. The very existence of independent sovereign nation
states has been a restraint and hindrance to the antichrist global
Satanist goal of Babylon. That is what Nimrod's tower of Babel was
all about, to centralize all nations. At the opening of the seventh
seal, the man of sin is revealed in fullness. However, saints can
and should know his identity NOW.

Therefore, NO people ever to look at the admonishments given by the
Lord have greater need, and incentive, to pay attention to the seven
Epistles. After the lamps, John saw the door of the Temple opened;
and by the voice as it were of a trumpet, was called up to the
eastern gate of the great court, to see the visions. A throne was
set, the mercy-seat upon the Ark of the Covenant, which is between
the Cherubims. And a rainbow was about the throne, the emblem of
glory. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats. And
upon the seats were four and twenty Elders sitting, clothed in white
raiment, with crowns on their heads; representing the Princes of the
four and twenty courses of the Priests clothed in linen. And out of
the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings, and voices, like
the flashes of the fire upon the Altar at the morning OBLATION
sacrifice. John heard the thundering voices of those that sounded
the trumpets. And there were seven lamps of fire burning, in the
Temple, before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God, or
Angels of the seven Churches, represented in the beginning of this
Prophecy of the Revelation by the seven stars.

And before the throne was a sea of glass clear as crystal; the
brazen sea between the porch of the Temple and the Altar, filled
with clear water. And in the midst of the throne, and round about
the throne, were four Beasts full of eyes before and behind. One
Beast before the throne and one behind it, appearing to John as in
the midst of the throne, and one on either side in the circle about
it, representing by the multitude of their eyes the people standing
in the four sides of the peoples court.

And the first Beast was like a lion, and the second was like a calf,
and the third had the face of a man, and the fourth was like a
flying eagle. The people of Israel in the wilderness encamped round
about the tabernacle, and on the east side were three tribes under
the standard of Judah, on the west were three tribes under the
standard of Ephraim, on the south were three tribes under the
standard of Reuben, and on the north were three tribes under the
standard of Dan, Numb. 2. And the standard of Judah was a Lion, that
of Ephraim an Ox, that of Reuben a Man, and that of Dan an Eagle. A
Cherubim had one body with four faces, the faces of a Lion, an Ox, a
Man and an Eagle, looking to the four winds of heaven, without
turning just like in Ezekiel's vision when this throne of God was
brought to earth rather than the prophet of God on the other side of
the cross going to that throne in the third heaven.

And they rest not day and night, or at the morning and evening
OBLATION sacrifices, saying, holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty,
which was, and is, and is to come. These are the same as what
appeared to Isaiah in a vision like this of John and Ezekiel. Isaiah
also saw the Lord upon a throne in the temple; and the Seraphims
that cried, Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts. And when those
beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on the
throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders
fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that
liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne,
saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and
power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they
are and were created.

At the morning and evening OBLATION sacrifices, just as soon as the
sacrifice was laid upon the Altar, and the drink-offering began to
be poured out, the trumpets sounded, and the Levites sang by course
three times; and every time when the trumpets sounded, the people
fell down and worshipped. It should be NO WONDER or mystery to any
true Christian why when the Holy Spirit filled Apostles were
threatened, beaten, jailed and even the first Apostle Martyr, James,
was killed in the Temple, that you would still find the Apostles in
that Temple, for the morning and even OBLATION sacrifices. Three
times the people worshipped, and that is why the Beasts cry Holy,
holy, holy, and at the end of the song, the people prayed standing,
till the OBLATION service was finished. In the meantime the Priests
went into the Temple, and there fell down before him that sat upon
the throne, and worshipped.

And John saw, in the right hand of him that sat upon the throne, a
book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals,
like the book which Daniel was commanded to seal up. And none was
found worthy to open the book, ONLY the Lamb of God.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been
slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took
the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And
when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty
elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps,
and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast
redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue,
and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and
priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

At the foot of the Altar, stood a lamb as it had been slain, the
morning OBLATION sacrifice; having seven horns, which are the seven
Churches, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent
forth into all the earth.


It was the custom for the High-Priest, seven days before the fast of
the seventh month, the Day of Atonement, to continue constantly in
the Temple. There he would study the book of the Law, (Deuteronomy)
that he might be perfect in it against the day of Atonement, Yom
Kippur. This entire service was completely to be performed by the
high priest. Part of that complex duty of the High Priest on the Day
of Atonement was reading the Law to the people. To help his studying
the Law there were certain Priests appointed by the Sanhedrin to be
with him those seven days in one of his chambers in the Temple.
These priests would be with him to review with him about the Law.
They would read it to him, and remind him to read and study it
himself. This high priest duty of opening and reading the Law those
seven days, point to the Lamb's opening the seals. We are to
understand God's time reckoning that those seven days begin in the
evening before each day. The day begins in the evening, and the ONLY
BIBLICALLY REQUIRED FAST DAY begins in the morning of the tenth day,
after that seventh day of preparation.

The seventh seal was therefore opened on the day of Atonement. And
when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven
about the space of half an hour. The High-Priest, stood at the
Altar, having a golden Censer; and there was given him much incense,
that he should offer it with the prayers of all Saints, upon the
golden Altar which was before the throne.

The custom was, on other days, for one of the Priests to take fire
from the great Altar in a silver censer; but on this day, for the
High-Priest to take fire from the great Altar in a golden Censer.
When he would come down from the great Altar, he took incense from
one of the Priests who brought it to him, and went with it to the
golden Altar. And while he offered the incense, the people prayed
outside in SILENCE, which is as the SILENCE in heaven for half an
hour. When the High-Priest had laid the incense on the Altar, he
carried a Censer of it burning in his hand, into the most holy place
before the Ark.

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the
saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. On other
days, there was a certain measure of incense for the golden Altar.
But on the Day of Atonement there was a much greater quantity for
BOTH the Altar and the Most Holy Place. That is why we see MUCH
INCENSE in Rev 8:3. After this we see in Rev 8:5 And the angel took
the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into
the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings,
and an earthquake. The angel, meaning by the hands of the Priests,
he cast it to the earth without the Temple, for burning the Goat and
the other free will love offering sacrifices, until the evening
OBLATION sacrifice was ended.

And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an
earthquake, meaning, the voice of the High-Priest reading the Law to
the people, and other voices and thunderings from the trumpets and
temple music at the sacrifices, and lightnings from the fire of the
Altar.

When the worship of the day of Atonement was finished, the seven
Angels sound their trumpets at the great sacrifices of the seven
days of the Feast of Tabernacles. That is when the seven thunders
utter their voices, which are like the music of the Temple, and
singing of the Levites, mixed with the soundings of the trumpets.
Then the seven Angels pour out their vials of wrath, which are as
the drink-offerings of those sacrifices of the Feast of Tabernacles.

John said, after the visions of the sixth seal, And after these
things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth,
holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow
on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another
angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God:
and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was
given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth,
neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of
our God in their foreheads, Rev 7:1-3. This sealing speaks to a
tradition of the Jews, that upon the day of Atonement all the people
of Israel are sealed up in the book of life and/or book of death.

On the first day of the month Tishri, the seventh month, three books
are opened in judgment. First is the book of life with the names of
those are written who are perfectly just. Second is the book of
death with the names of those are written who are atheists or very
wicked. And third is the book with the names of those whose judgment
is suspended till the day of Atonement, and whose names are not
written in the book of life or death before that day.

The first ten days of the seventh month are the Days of Awe, the
days of REPENTANCE, seeking God's grace which is found in
Repentance. During the 10 days of Awe, many will fast and pray very
much, and are very devout, so that on the tenth day their sins may
be remitted, and their names may be written in the book of life; on
the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. On the Day of Atonement, in
returning home from the Synagogues, they say to one another, "God,
the creator, seal you to a good year."

The traditional belief is that the books are now sealed up, and that
the sentence of God remains unchanged to the end of the year. This
is also the meaning of the two Goats, upon whose foreheads the High-
Priest yearly, on the day of Atonement, puts one of the two lots
inscribed, For God and For Azazel. God's lot refers to the people
who are sealed with the name of God in their foreheads. The lot
Azazel, which was sent into the wilderness, represents those who
receive the mark and name of the Beast, and go into the wilderness
with the great Whore.

The saints long for this seal to walk in a maintained fullness of
His Spirit. The sealing of the servants of God on the Day of
Atonement relates to what John gives in The Revelation of the
opening of the seventh seal. After the Lamb had opened six of the
seals and John has seen the visions relating to those six seals, he
looked on the backside of the seventh and then saw the four Angels
holding the four winds of heaven, and another Angel ascending from
the East with the seal of God. The Angels which held the four winds
were the first four of the seven Angels. When the seventh seal was
opened they were all seen standing before God. When the four angels
hold the four winds, there was silence in heaven for half an hour.

Then while the servants of God were being sealed, the Angel with the
golden Censer offered their prayers with incense upon the golden
Altar, and read the Law. As soon as the saints of God were sealed,
the winds hurt the earth at the sounding of the first trumpet. The
sea is hurt at the sounding of the second. These winds signify the
wars which Jesus told us would be as never had been or would never
again be. The first four trumpets are about this coming THIRD WORLD
WAR. We see the first four seals set apart from the last three by
the appearance of four horsemen towards the four winds of heaven.
The wars of the first four trumpets are set apart from those of the
last three by the mercy of God holding the winds, to minimize the
destruction of the NUCLEAR wars. Henry Gruver's visions noted the
mercy of God holding the four winds, and the three great woes.

We should remember and recognize the Ezekiel chapter nine vision as
being coincident with this same time of GREAT DESTRUCTION. And,
behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth
toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and
one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn
by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
.
The six men, like the Angels of the first six trumpets, are
commanded to slay those men who are not set apart unto God. The
hundred forty and four thousand are sealed. No man could number them
with the 666 number of the beast IN their right hand or forehead.
They are sealed to preserve them from the plagues of the first six
trumpets. The hundred forty and four thousand can be seen to be
twelve, times twelve, times ten, times ten, times ten. Twelve being
a number related to groups of God's people, and ten the number for
fullness or completeness. It may be seen that God's people, times
God's people, times fullness, times completeness, times fullness, to
be ALL of God's people.

For sure God's people will be preaching the EVERLASTING GOSPEL of
Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him;
for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. The
saints of God who trust only in His Mercy, and only His Atonement,
also do hope that by the preaching of the everlasting gospel, they
grow into a great multitude, which no man could number, of all
nations, and kindreds, and people and tongues: for the Glory of God.

At the sounding of the seventh trumpet, THE LAST TRUMP, the saints
come out of the great tribulation with Palms in their hands. The
kingdoms of this world, by the war to which that trumpet sounds,
become the kingdoms of God and His Christ. The worship of the great
Hosanna was kept by the Jews upon the seventh or LAST day of the
Feast of Tabernacles. On that seventh and last day of the Feast of
Tabernacles they would be carrying Palms in their hands, and crying
Hosanna.

After six of the Angels, just like the six men with slaughter-
weapons, (Ezekiel 9), had sounded their trumpets, the Lamb in the
form of a mighty Angel came down from heaven clothed with a cloud,
and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the
Sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.

We remember the form in which Christ appeared in the beginning of
this book of Revelation. Now, He had in his hand a little book open,
which is the SAME book which he had just opened; because, He
received only one book from Him that sitteth upon the throne. He
alone was worthy to open and look on this book. And he set his right
foot upon the sea and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a
loud voice, as when a lion roareth.

The High-Priest on the day of Atonement, would stand in an elevated
place in the peoples court, at the Eastern gate of the Priests
court, and read the Law to the people. This reading would be done
while the Heifer and the Goat which was the Lord's lot, were burning
outside the Temple. The way and place this platform was set up for
this reading, helps understand what John saw. The High Priest would
be standing in such a manner, that his right foot might appear to
John like it was standing on the sea of glass, and his left foot on
the ground of the house. That is how the High-Priest would be seen
to cry with a loud voice, in reading the Law on the day of Atonement.

And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. Thunders
are the voice of a cloud, a multitude; and this multitude may be the
Levites, who sang with thundering voices, and played with musical
instruments at the great sacrifices, on the seven days of the Feast
of Tabernacles: at which times the trumpets also sounded. For the
trumpets sounded, and the Levites sang, three times at every
sacrifice.

I do believe that the seven thunders is a repetition of the Prophecy
of the seven trumpets in another form. And the Angel which I saw
stand upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven,
and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, that after the seven
thunders there should be time no longer; but in the days of the
voice of the seventh Angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his
servants the Prophets. (Rev 10:5-7)

The voices of the thunders last to the end of this world, and so do
those trumpets, SHOFARS.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and
said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the
angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went
unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he
said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly
bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the
little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my
mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was
bitter. Rev 10:8-10

This is very much like Ezekiel's eating of the book (Eze 3), which
was full of lamentations and mourning and woe, but sweet in his
mouth. Eating the book is becoming inspired with the Word of God and
Prophecy contained in it. It was sweet in John's mouth. We should
know that it is not about the bitter things like the Gentiles being
in the outward court of the Temple, or the treading the holy city
under foot; or the prophesying of the two Witnesses in sackcloth and
being killed by the Beast. It must begin right after that with the
sweet Prophecy of the glorious Woman in Heaven, and the victory of
Michael over the Dragon.

After the sweetness, it is bitter in John's belly. This is where we
see the gorey details of the great Apostasy, the great falling away
from THE Faith.

It is bitterly sad how the glorious Church whose seed kept the
commandments of God, and had the testimony of Jesus, continued to be
the same on the outward appearance. The sad truth in the great
apostasy is very different from the outward appearance. Before the
great apostasy her faithfulness came from the heart to fear God and
keep His commandments as the only acceptable response to the great
love of God had changed. The heart now was covetous and licentious
covered by a hypocritical religious appearance. The church in the
great Apostasy RIDES THE BEAST becomes an instrument of the global
antichrist state beast, (501c3). She no longer had the genuine
faith, devotion, and godliness, but became the great Whore. She was
totally corrupt in heart but kept her outward form and shape.

We should be well aware of the times. The prophesied 42 no rain
judgment on Israel is history. It concluded after exactly 42 months
and in 2003 the Jordan again overflowed its banks after the sea of
Galilee being at the lowest level in the history of planet earth.
The documentation of these facts may be seen at
http://www.moresureword.com/rain.htm

And while the Gentiles tread the Holy City underfoot shouting the
Allah Akbar blasphemy of the moon god on the TEMPLE Mount the two
witnesses, prophesy somewhere like Elijah and Moses. This call of
Elijah is upon all true faithful remnant believers to simply say to
a world of antichrist confusion, How long halt ye between two
opinions. Like Moses, all true faithful remnant believers will be
calling all to fear God and keep His commandments, to love the Lord,
cleave to the Lord and to OBEY the Lord. There will be two to meet
up in Jerusalem soon to announce the judgments of the plagues of the
trumpets and vials of wrath. They will meet up in Jerusalem to
conclude their ministry where they will be killed and rise again
from the dead, and ascend up to heaven in a cloud; and then the
seventh trumpet sounds to the day of judgment.

John is inspired again having eaten the book, and begins the
Interpretation: Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in
heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament:
and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an
earthquake, and great hail. Because he mentions the Ark, we may know
that this was the first Temple. The second Temple had no Ark. The
judgments answer to the wars in the revived antichrist fourth beast
Roman Empire.

The true FAITHFUL Church, the glorious bride of the Kinsman
Redeemer, is persecuted, and here on this earth she is pained in
travail. The servants of God will be sealed with the fullness of His
Spirit, and the rest will be sealed for destruction with the mark of
the Beast. At the opening of the seventh seal, are the seven
trumpets and the pouring out of seven vials of wrath. We see it all
again from the perspective of the saints in the antichrist war upon
them. We see the Gentiles worshipping in the outward court, and
finally the Beast killing the witnesses in the streets of the great
city. These things are clarified by the vision of a woman sitting on
the Beast, drunken with the blood of the Saints, and we see how the
great city of Babylon is made to fall in one hour and come to the
GREAT DAY of JUDGMENT.

The entire book of The Revelation has statements of these things
that the saints in the last days of the antichrist war on the saints
will understand to be clear and confirming restatements and
confirming second and third witness of what the Word of God has
said. The book of the Revelation is like the hub of the wheel of all
prophecy with all of the bible prophets as spokes of the wheel
strengthening the focal point of the hub. These same things may be
found in the book of Deuteronomy, which are confirmed by The
Revelation. We see the judgments repeated, interpreted, and
confirmed by the visions following the seventh trumpet.

What a Great Joy to live for His glory in this time of Great
Tribulation.

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by
the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the
death.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make
war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of
God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
into the city.

should overtake you as a thief.
