2 Chron 2:4; "see, I am building a House for the Name of YHWH my Elohim, to set it apart to Him, to burn before Him sweet incense, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the New Moons, and on the appointed times (Feasts) of YHWH our Elohim. This is for Yisrael for ever."
We read in Leviticus 23 about the Feasts/appointed times of YHWH. They give us great insight into the end time prophecies...They are prophesies in themselves!
If you think it is not necessary to keep these feast, I've got news for you! Only four of these feast has been fulfilled: Pesach (Messiah's sacrifice), Feast of unleavened bread - His time in the grave, Feast of First Fruit (Messiah's Resurrection) and Shavuot (out pour of the Set-Apart Spirit).
Some churches think they celebrate these feasts - but on the wrong dates and even some on old pagan feasts:
Amos 5:21; "I have hated, I have despised your festivals, and I am not pleased with your assemblies."
The three remaining feasts that still needs to be fulfilled are the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles.)
These feasts can only be fulfilled by the true Messiah and soon will.
Col 2:16-17; "Let no one therefor judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths - which are a shadow of what is to come - but the body of Messiah!"
I have heard people rip these verse to shreds! Let no one judge you if you do keep these - for they remain prophesies of things still to take place. The only one to judge in how it must be kept, is the Body of Messiah!
We can not choose how to worship YHWH, everyone thinking his way is good. He tells us in His Scriptures how He wants to be worshipped. The Torah says that if you worship Him in ANY other way, even if your intentions are good, that He will see it as Idol worship!
Lev 23: 2; "...the appointed times of YHWH which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, MY APPOINTED TIMES, are these:"
Remember, these are His Festivals NOT Jewish festivals...One can read in the Renewed Covenant of how the disciples and Yeh'shua kept them.
Here are the dates for the Appointed times of YHWH for 2010:
We only know in part now, but one day we will know in full. Our assembly has calculated these dates to the best of our current knowledge:
1. Every 7th day is Sabbath :)
2. Beginning of the Scriptural year will be 15 April = 1 Aviv
3. Pesach will be on the eve of 14 Aviv = 28 April
4. Feast of Unleavened Bread will be 29 April - 5 May
29 th and the 5th are High Sabbath - no career work.
5. Feast of First Fruit - Fall in the Feast of Unleavened bread - 2 May
6. The fifty days to Shavuot falls on 20 June - High Sabbath - No career work.
7. 8 October - Feast of Trumpets - High Sabbath - No career work.
8. Eve of 16 Oct - eve of 17 Oct - High Sabbath - NO WORK. PRAYING. FASTING FOOD AND WATER.
9. 22 - 28 Oct - Sukkot. 22 Oct - High Sabbath - No career work. 29th Oct - fellowship with other believers - feasting! and High Sabbath - no career work.
Shavua Tov!

The Fathers Messenger
Deut 18: 15 - 18: "Y'HWH your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst from your brothers. Listen to Him, according to all you asked of Y'HWH your Elohim in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear again the voice of Y'HWH my Elohim, nor let me see this great fire any more, lest I die.' And Y'HWH said to me, 'What they have spoken is good. I shall raise up tor them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers. And i shall put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. "
Deut 18: 15 - 18: "Y'HWH your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst from your brothers. Listen to Him, according to all you asked of Y'HWH your Elohim in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear again the voice of Yehuweh my Elohim, nor let me see this great fire any more, lest I die.' And Yehuweh said to me, 'What they have spoken is good. I shall raise up tor them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers. And i shall put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him."
If you read the Torah and what happened at mount Horeb you realize that Elohim wanted to give His Torah to His people Himself. He wanted to talk to them and write it on their hearts. But they were afraid...and said rather give us a Messenger, please rather sent someone from your Set-apart mountain with Your Word. So He did, He send us His Son, to speak His word. But His own brothers did not want to listen...they rejected Him...(Story of Joseph).
The Messiah spoke Torah, the Words of His Father. Thus you can not go to the Father, except through the Son.
Not only was He The Prophet, He paid our penalty for not obeying the Torah of the Father. He is the Lamb. As we are entering this festive time, the time of Pesach, Feast of unleavened bread an first fruits - rejoice with me! Accept the Blood of the Messiah, Search through your lives for the leaven/sin and clean out your house, so that we can stand pure and set apart before the Master. So that we can join the First Fruit, Yehshua ha Masiach, as sons and daughters of the Creator of heaven and earth.
So lets belief in His promises (Faith) and obey His voice and Messenger (Torah).
He is the Man that saves!!
Psalm 19:1; "The heavens are proclaiming the esteem of El, And the expanse is declaring the work of His hand."
Psalm 19:7-11; "The Torah of Y'HWH is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of Yehuweh is trustworthy, making wise the simple; The orders of Y'HWH is straight, rejoicing the heart; The command of Y'HWH is clear, enlightening the eyes; The fear of Y'HWH is clean, standing forever, the right-rulings of Y'HWH are true, they are righteous altogether, More desirable than gold; sweeter than honey and honeycomb. Also, Your servant is warned by them, in guarding them, there is great reward."

Waiting on Pesach
It has been a loooong time since I published anything!
This week is Pesach!!!! What an exciting time of the year! I will shortly post a piece about Pesach.
I think it is important that we enter this week with an expectation in our hearts! If you do not expect something - then you will not receive! If you do not want to learn, you will find no wisdom. If you do not choose to listen...you will not hear.
Just a piece of Scripture from the Messianic Writings - Phil 4: 4-7: "Rejoice in Elohim always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!” Let your gentleness be known to all men. The IEUE (YHWH in Ancient) is at hand. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to Elohim. And the peace of IEUE, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Messiah Yeshuo."
