Holy
Day Greetings from HomeWorship 101™
“Then
the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins
who
took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Now
five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Those
who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,
but
the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But
while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
And
at midnight a cry was heard:
‘Behold,
the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’
Then
all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
And
the foolish said to the wise,
‘Give
us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
But
the wise answered, saying,
‘No,
lest there should not be enough for us and you;
but
go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
And
while they went to buy, the bridegroom came,
and
those who were ready went in with him to the wedding;
and
the door was shut.
Afterward
the other virgins came also,
saying,
‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’
But
he answered and said,
‘Assuredly,
I say to you, I do not know you.’
Watch
therefore,…” –
Matthew 25:1-13
In
the above parable of the Ten Virgins, the
faithful of the Messiah are liken to the ten virgins.
The wise virgins kept there lamps full by showing themselves
approved through study and walking the – GODLY – walk (Tim.2:15).
To put it another way: Plan as if the Messiah’s coming is
years away, but live as if He is coming tonight.
His true Bride would be watching, waiting, and preparing.
It
is one of those inconvenient truths rabbis/priests
do not talk about very much;
the Messiah will not call everyone who thinks or professes himself or
herself as a Messianic/Christian Believer.
Those call themselves Believers but do not work at it will not
be with the Messiah when He comes calling (Mat.7:21).
Unfortunately, it seems that at least half of the believers, if
not more (Rev.ch.2-3), will not be called.
The question is not whether our FATHER will keep HIS Covenant
promise by sending the Conquering Messiah; HE already proved HIMSELF
when HE sent the suffering Messiah.
The question is, are the faithful keeping their part of the
Covenant?
The
Believers are admonished to watch.
To watch for YHWH’s Heavenly signs (Luk21:36).
And watching for the sign of the 7th New Moon is a
very important spiritual sign. No
one but the FATHER knows when the Bridegroom will return for His Bride
(Mat.24:36; 1Ths.4:13-18). But
we do have solid hints as to when the Conquering Messiah will return
(Rev.12:6). The Bride
should be aware of this because she will be returning with Him
(Rev.2:26-27, 3:21).
In
the end times two prophets will appear
(Rev.11:1-14) and if you heard them say, “the Messiah will appear
on the 7th new moon, at the 3rd hour,” would you know what they
are talking about? Most
know that the Messiah will make His long awaited worldwide appearance
at the end of the Tribulation
period. It will be a
horrible time for the earth and humanity, and those who know Biblical
prophecy will be counting the days (Rev.12:6).
Today we are not yet at the end of the tribulation era, but for
those who can see, we watch for the signs and learn their higher
spiritual lessons.

Estimated
for Saturday night or the next night,
the 7th new moon will rise
(estimated evening of Sept. 23), and it will begin the early-fall
season of the Biblical Holy Days (Lev.23:23-36).
The day is announced with the shrill sound of the shofar or
trumpet. The last
Biblical Holy Day was in June, and since then it has been a long
growing season of day-to-day routines.
Now the blasts of the shofar are humanities spiritual wake-up
call. (Play the attached .wav file)
The
new moon is rich in our CREATOR’S spiritual symbolism.
The new moon day, the 1st day of the month, is
mentioned 80 times in the Bible.
The 14th and 15th days are mentioned 19
and 13 times, and the 21st day is also important.
In the Bible YHWH visited with HIS Prophets on these days.
Unfortunately most of the faithful haven’t got a clue.
I often wonder: Is the laity who does not want to learn, or the
priests who do not want to teach?
As the faithful know, YHWH establishes, and HIS Messiah
fulfills. When
Yahshua-Jesus returns He will fulfill these Holy Days, then all the
world will worship YHWH on HIS true Holy Days (Isa.66:23; Ezk.46:6-11)
– not just the Jews.
We
do not observe the Holy Day season as a requirement of salvation.
We observe them because, for those who can see, they teach
humanity about our CREATOR’S Kingdom.
This next series of Holy Days draws our attention the to
prophecies of the promised future Kingdom.
Log on: http://www.homeworship101.com/holy_days_fall.htm
Think
about it,
YHWH, our CREATOR, established the spring Holy Days of Passover, the
days of Unleavened Bread, the Day of Firsfruits, and Pentecost – and
Yahshua fulfilled them all according to YHWH’S new moon calendar.
What makes you think He (Yahshua) will not fulfill the fall
season of Holy Days when YHWH deems it so?
The
Messiah, sent by our FATHER, has two missions:
The rejected-suffering
Messiah to cancel the debt of sin; and the conquering
/ ruling Messiah to cancel the evil chaos that rules this world
(Isa.53:3-6, 9:6-7). It
is an interesting coincidence that Yahshua, exactly fulfilled the
mission of the suffering Messiah in the early-spring
season of Biblical Holy Days (Lev.23:4-22).
He was crucified on Passover, buried on the Days of Unleavened
Bread, and rose on the Day of Firstfruits.
On the Day of Pentecost, He fulfilled another Covenant
promise by giving us the Holy Spirit (Act.ch.2).
The
world is already into the third act of a spiritual opera
that, in my humble opinion, is headed toward its inevitable
conclusion.
The
early-fall season of Holy Days begins
with,
“…The
day of the LORD…” -
Joel 1
The
1st day of the 7th month,
(Sept. 24, estimated) called the Day
of Trumpets (Hebrew: Yom Teru’ah – Day of Shouting), blow the
shofar or the trumpet! It
is humanities spiritual wake up call to the unfolding spiritual
events!
On
the 1st day of the 7th new moon,
sometime in the future, almost tomorrow, YHWH’S
Messiah arrives to usher in a Kingdom of Peace (Mat.24:29-31;
Luk.21:25-28; Rev.1:7). And
on this day, sometime in the future, after the thousand years are
finished, the shofar’s blast will announce the imminent Judgment of
YHWH. HE will return to
Earth, stop the warring factions in the last great battle between good
and evil (Rev.20:7-9), and begin the preparations for the final Great
White Throne Judgment.
On
the 10th day of the 7th month,
(Oct 3, estimated), is the Day of Atonement (Hebrew: Yom Kippur).
It is Divine Judgment Day.
Sometime in the future, almost tomorrow, it will be the day
when the Messiah will judge the nations (Mat.25:32).
We all know, the haters, the destroyers, and warmongers will
not do well. And sometime
in the future, after the Millennium rule of the Messiah, on this day,
YHWH will judge a-l-l humanity and the angels (Rev.20:11-15;
2Pet.2:4).
On
the 15th day of the 7th month
(Oct 8, estimated), is the Festival of Tabernacles (Hebrew: Hag Ha-Sukkot
– Feast of Booths). HalleluYAH!
Rejoice! Dance!
And be happy!!! We
have survived Judgment Day! This
is a 7-day festival celebrating that we are under YHWH and HIS
Messiah’s protection.
The
Tabernacles protection is temporary
while permanent arrangements are made.
After the 7-day festival, the eight-day, is the last Holy Day
called the Last Great Day (Hebrew: Shemini Atzeret – 8th
Day of Assembly), (Oct 15, estimated).
The Holy Day symbolizes the time when humanity will enter their
new world of the Messiah’s Millennium Kingdom.
And sometime in the future, after the thousand years were
finished, on this day, YHWH will establish HIS everlasting Kingdom on
Earth as humanity finally enters New Jerusalem (Rev.21:1).
Please
understand, these are NOT Jewish holidays.
These are universal Biblical – YHWH’S - Holy Days, teaching
universal spiritual lessons. The
Ancient Israelites were almost always at war with their neighbors and
they developed a kind of circle the wagons mentality.
As a result they took these Holy Days hostage – so to speak,
and covered them with Jewish tradition, which covered their original
meaning. Then what
happens is that ritual of the tradition becomes more important then
the spiritual lessons our CREATOR was trying to teach the world.
This was the root cause of many of the Gospel controversies
(Mar.7:8).
For
example, the first day of this season is called the Day of
Trumpets, Yom Teru’ah, or the Day of the LORD, Joel 1:15, 3:14.
Jewish religion calls it Rosh Ha Shanah, which means the head
of the New Year. The
trouble is, the Torah/Biblical New Year starts in the spring, Exo.12.2
not in the fall. In the
time of Ancient Israel many of their pagan neighbors had their new
years celebrations in the fall, so the ancient Israelites played the
get-along game and called this Holy Day their New Years Day, and the
tradition continues today. This
is ancient political correctness because this dark-ruled world does
not like any talk of the coming Messiah so the original meaning of the
Day of Elohim
has been hidden and mostly forgotten.
As the Christian church grew, the controversies of separating
Jewish tradition from GOD commands continued (Act.15:1-36).
The result was that as the Christian church drifted west it
developed its own holidays and traditions.
As
in Christianity, so is it in Judaism, there are many inconsistencies
between what the Bible teaches, and what is actually taught and
practiced – Satan has been busy.
Be
a moon spotter.
The
sighting of the 7th new moon is important
because all the other Holy Days are based on it.
The Holy Day dates I quote come from reliable eyewitnesses to
the first visible new moon in Jerusalem (the printed calendars are
figures mathematically and this year they are a day or two too early).
Missing the exact dates is troublesome because it will cause
you to miss your spiritual appointed time with YHWH.

For
the do-it-yourselfer,
one can check the new moon sighting from anywhere in the Internet
universe. On the bottom
of my web pages in the Bible Study Tools section, click the solar
phase link, or http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/uncgi/Earth/action?opt=-p,
to see when the evening shadow falls over Jerusalem.
When it does, click the moon phase link, or http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/uncgi/Earth/action?opt=-m&img=Moon.evif,
to see the phase of the moon. It
takes a 2-4% moon to be seen by the faithful from the ground and that
determines the first day of the lunar month.
In
closing…
YHWH
will send a Messiah
to save humanity from the curse of sin was one of the first promises
HE made to Adam and Eve. YHWH
restated again to Noah, then to Moses, and to King David, it is a
Covenant promise that YHWH has reminded us of many times in Scriptures.
Make-no-mistake,
Yahshua of Nazareth was the only man to fulfill to the letter over 200
Scriptural prophecies, many were predicted some 1,000 years in
advance. Every single
prophecy of the suffering messiah was precisely fulfilled by the life
of Yahshua, in a literal, common sense way, culminating in the spring
season of Holy Days. Still
awaiting fulfillment are over 300 prophecies in the New Testament of
Yahshua's second coming as the Conquering/Redeeming Messiah ready to
be played out in the fall season of Holy Days.
YHWH
already clearly demonstrated that HE keeps HIS Covenant promises, the
only question remains,
will you?
In
the spirit of Daniel 12:4,
"...knowledge shall increase in the end times,” for more info.

Please
remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for all those who
stand with Israel (Ps.122).
Enjoy
the journey of learning…
Wishing
all joyful season of Holy Day blessings.
Your
faithful servant in Yahshua, Errol.
