Holy
Day Greetings from HomeWorship 101™
“These
are the Feasts of the Lord (YHWH),
Holy
Convocations
which
you shall proclaim at their appointed times.”
-
Leviticus 23:4
This
year, the Feasts of the seventh month begin with a small controversy.
Once again there is a difference between man’s preprinted
calendars, and YHWH’s Heavenly signs.
The sighting of the crescent new moon is estimated to be 2 days
later then the printed calendar, meaning all the Fall Holy Days are
postponed for 2 days. Some
would say, “…what’s the big deal?”
Technically speaking, it is a big deal.
Do we follow man’s ‘holidays,’ or YHWH’s ‘Holy
Convocations’ at HIS ‘appointed times?’
I can’t help but wonder, is it a subtle test by YHWH to see
how true the Bride
really is? Continue

“Now
I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And
He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,
and
in righteousness He judges and makes war.
His
eyes were like a flame of fire,
and
on His head were many crowns.
He
had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
He
was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and
His name is called The Word of God.
And
the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,
followed
Him on white horses.”

Revelation 19:1-14
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.
The
Believers, especially Christians, 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. Some
believe that this is the day the Messiah will return for His Bride,
but I believe they are mistaken.
The snatching away of the Bride is a surprise, and as we know,
no one but the FATHER knows when the Bridegroom will return for His
Bride (Mat.24:36; 1Ths.4:13-18). Because
of the suffering humankind must endure during the Tribulation era,
YHWH give us solid hints as to when the Conquering Messiah will
return, and HIS Two Prophets will be relaying the same message
(Rev.12:6). The Bride
should be aware of this because she will be returning with Him
(Rev.2:26-27, 3:21).

Estimated
for Sunday night, the 7th new moon will rise
(evening of Sept.20), 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. (I have attached the .wav file which is the traditional shofar
tune played on this day, join us as we step backwards and play a tune
that is still a sweet sound to YHWH – and will be in the
future.)
All
glory goes to our CREATOR.
(Luke
2:14; John 10:25, 14:12-15)
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.
First and foremost, we observe them because Yahshua and the
Apostles did. We observe
them, for those who can see, because they teach humanity about our
CREATOR’S Kingdom. In
the Spring season of Holy Days I covered some of multi-faceted
meanings of YHWH’s Holy Days, and the fall Feasts are loaded with
spiritual symbolism. This
next series of Holy Days draws our attention the to prophecies of the
conquering Messiah and His promised future Millennium Kingdom
(Rev.20:1-3). FYI: one
will never fully understand prophecy until you learn about Holy Days.

"...I
am God, and there is none like Me.
Declaring the end from the beginning.
And
from ancient times
things
that are not yet done..."
-
Isaiah 46:9-10
Prophecy
is YHWH’s way of telling you HE is in charge.
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 exactly 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).
It
has been a long summer and long intermission in YHWH’s Spiritual
Opera
since the last Hoy Day of Pentecost.
The spiritual parable to this is long growing season is
compared to the long growing season of the Age of Grace - the time
between the appearance’s of the redeeming and conquering Messiahs.
Humanity is unique because we believe without seeing (John
20:29),
thus making this time period very important because YHWH needs as many
believers as possible. It’s
a big universe out there, and YHWH has plans for our future.
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. 21, 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!
Today
some say, "The messiah never came, but will someday appear!"
Some
others say, "The Messiah came, and will come again!"
.
It
seems the one thing that all Believers in our CREATOR can agree on is:
THAT
THE MESSIAH IS COMING!!!
On
the 1st day of the 7th new moon,
sometime in the future, almost tomorrow, YHWH’S
Conquering 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. YHWH
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,
(Sept.30, 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.5, 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.12, 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).
Many
still refuse to allow Bible facts
to
get in the way of their feelings.
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 on the 7th month.
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 of the 7th
month, their New Years Day, “a day of new beginnings,” 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.
It is “a day of new beginning,” when the Messiah arrives,
but unfortunately you will not hear the Jews even whisper behind
closed doors, anything of a coming Messiah on this day.
After Christ as the Christian church grew, the controversies of
separating Jewish tradition from GOD’s commands continued
(Act.15:1-36). The result
was that as the Christian church drifted west it developed its own
holidays and traditions. In
Christianity, as it so is in Judaism, there are many inconsistencies
between what the Bible teaches, and what is actually taught and
practiced – Satan has been busy (Gal.1:8; Col.2:18; 2Cor.11:14).
“Muslim
nations around the world must unite militarily
in
response to the imminent coming of Islam's messianic savior – the
Mahdi.”
-
Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei, August 16,2009
FYI:
Even the Muslims are awaiting their messiah,
but I
do not think they are taking about the Messiah of the Bible; their
allegiance will probably be with the false messiah preceding the
Biblical Messiah. I’ll
quote: “Iran's
Ayatollah Khamenei also spoke through his spokesman Ali Saeedi "We
have to train honest forces that can stop the obstacles that may
hinder the coming of the Mahdi like the United States and
Israel." He also
emphasized that the Iranian revolutionary guard possessed a special
religious authority to prepare the way for the Mahdi.”

How to Observe ~
The
Believers are commanded to grow in knowledge and grace
(2Pet.3:18), to be a living sacrifice . . ., transformed by the
renewing of your mind . . . (Rom.12:1-2).
The Holy Days are a personal, spirit-training series of
Heavenly lessons, with subtle instructions that picture a greater
spiritual truth. They
repeat every year, lest we forget, to teach understanding,
to all - men, women and children - that our CREATOR
is still in control of the Heavenly Powers of the Universe and HIS
promises will be fulfilled.
YAHWEH’S
Holy Days address the mind, body, and spirit,
by disposing of your demons through reflection and afflicting
your soul, to have a change of heart and repent.
They connect us to a Heavenly timetable - signs to watch
- and they give us hope for the future, and a place in YHWH’s
universe. They put us
spiritually in control and encourage us to: live-learn-and grow -
HONORABLY!
Just
as any skilled professional is required to take additional training
or annual refresher courses. These
are the annual spiritual refresher courses designed by our CREATOR,
for all of HIS
Believers to practice their spiritual training and maintain a high
level of performance - lest we forget and lose our way.
YHWH
is not a burden but a blessing, and the concern is not for mandatory
ritualism,
but understanding the truth for which it stands, and this
understanding greatly enhances our faith.
For the faithful, the Holy Days are a joyous time because they
symbolize YHWH’s promises being fulfilled.
All the Holy Days together picture YAHWEH’S
grand majestic design of the unfolding spiritual events, affecting all
humanity - that is why it is meaningful to pass on HIS
teachings to others (Heb.9:10; Rom.7:6).
The early Christians were Believers, and therefore already
saved. The observance is
not done for salvation - but of love and respect for our CREATOR
and we celebrate HIS
Covenant with us (1Jno.5:3). For
more info see links below.

The
first order of observing the Holy Days is knowing when.
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
figured mathematically and may be off by a day or two too).
Missing the exact dates is troublesome because it will cause
you to miss your spiritual ‘appointed time’ with YHWH.
For more on Biblical timekeeping log on to:
http://www.homeworship101.com/holy_days_timekeeping&calendar.htm
For
the do-it-yourselfer,
one can check the new moon sighting from anywhere in the Internet
universe.
(1)
An easy way to check the moon phase is to log on to my web page, http://www.homeworship101.com/holy_days_timekeeping&calendar.htm,
scroll down about half way and look for the current moon phase module
on the right side of the page.
(2)
Or, 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 about 2-4% “waxing” moon to be seen by the faithful from the
ground, and that determines the first day of YHWH’s 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 YHWH’s
spring season of Holy Days. Still
awaiting fulfillment are over 300 New
Testament prophecies 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.
