There
are so many calendars floating around these days among those claiming they are
part of Yasharal and each man/woman is doing what is right in his own eyes and
are not willing to see the historical perspective of Yasharal in
dispersion/captivity and are insistent in observing Yahauh's muaedim/feasts and
Shabbats on foreign soil in a way against Torah in a fleshly way whereas we
transition from the physical to the spiritual in Mashiyach and observe the
feasts spiritually in Mashiyach. They say Shabbat Shalum on different days,
they celebrate feasts on different days claiming they found their calendar from
abominable books as book of Enoch, Temple scroll and other scrolls from Dead
Sea scroll etc. They refuse to look within Torah to see the Ruach in the letter
and would go everywhere else and hence it is evident that they have gone to
Judaism to drink from the old wine and yoke others with their beliefs which
they themselves cannot prove from the inspired scrolls we have. This study is
to show Yasharal's historical perspective as to how their times and laws were
changed and how in dispersion their New moons, Shabbats, sacrifices, feasts etc.
all ceased, this study also shows how we transition from a physical day to
being in the Ruach on Yahuah's day. It's very important to understand the
historical perspective of Yasharal in the time keeping as Yahuah made the timekeepers
on the 4th day and made them with a purpose.
Gen
1:14 And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to
separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times,
and for days and years,
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so.
16 And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
17 And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good.
19 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the fourth day.
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so.
16 And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
17 And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good.
19 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the fourth day.
Gen
1:14 says Aluahym made these lights to be for signs and appointed times, and
for days and years.
There
are calendars only following the path of the sun and leaving out the moon, and
there are calendars only following the moon leaving the path of the sun, it was
prophesied by Daniel of the beast who would try to change times and laws of the
Most high and the qodesh ones would be given to his hand for time/muaed,
times/muaedim and khatsay
Daniel
7:25 and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart
ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times and law, and
they are given into its hand for a time/muaed and times/muaedim and half a
time/khatsay.
There
may be some who may argue that the chapter 7 of Daniel falls into the Aramaic
script for chapter 1, and chapters 8-12 were written in Hebrew but chapters 2-7
of Daniel were written in Aramaic so the word for time/s in Chapter 7 is
'iddan' and so it doesn't speak about Yahuah's muaedim. I don't want to get
into which part was written in Hebrew and which one was written in Aramaic but
with the very argument that chapters 1,8-12 were written in Hebrew then we need
to see Chapter 12 which was written in Hebrew, not that the other chapters were
written in Aramaic but in Hebrew, but unfortunately those pieces of scrolls
went missing and only the Aramaic translation is available of them.
Dan
12:7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the
river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and
swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for a time/muaed H4150,
times/muaedim H4150, and half a time/khatsay H2677. And when they have
ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be
completed.
Hence,
we see the Hebrew clearly says the power of the set-apart people will be
scattered for muaed, muaedim and khatsay and hence it is related to muaedim/appointed
times or feasts of Yahuah.
The
fourth and diverse beast of the seven was Rome. The Caesars to stay in power
for more time changed the times to usher in apostasy, Rome further pushed into mainstream
Christianity with their Julian and then the recent Gregorian calendar which
observes a day from midnight to midnight and the whole world accepted this form
of time keeping.
In
Daniel 8, Daniel speaks of the vision of the Evening and the morning...
Daniel
8: 21 “And the male goat is the sovereign of Greece, and the large horn between
its eyes is the first sovereign.
22 “And that it was broken and four stood up in its place: are four rulerships arising out of that nation, but not in its power.
23 “And in the latter time of their rule, when the transgressors have filled up their measure, a sovereign, fierce of face and skilled at intrigues, shall stand up.
24 “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy incredibly, and shall prosper and thrive, and destroy mighty men, and the set-apart people.
25 “And through his skill he shall make deceit prosper in his hand, and hold himself to be great in his heart, and destroy many who are at ease, and even stand against the Prince of princes – yet without hand he shall be broken.
26 “And what was said in the vision of the evening and morning is truth. And hide the vision, for it is after many days.”
22 “And that it was broken and four stood up in its place: are four rulerships arising out of that nation, but not in its power.
23 “And in the latter time of their rule, when the transgressors have filled up their measure, a sovereign, fierce of face and skilled at intrigues, shall stand up.
24 “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy incredibly, and shall prosper and thrive, and destroy mighty men, and the set-apart people.
25 “And through his skill he shall make deceit prosper in his hand, and hold himself to be great in his heart, and destroy many who are at ease, and even stand against the Prince of princes – yet without hand he shall be broken.
26 “And what was said in the vision of the evening and morning is truth. And hide the vision, for it is after many days.”
Dan
8:14 He said to me, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings; then
the sanctuary shall be properly restored.
Daniel
was told to hide the vision of evening and mornings for it is after many days
(verse 26) and the vision was to be for 2,300 evening and mornings. Note that
some translations say 2300 days which tends to dilute what Daniel was revealed
about the 'evening and morning' visions because it is tied to Gen 1 where it
says '....and it came to be evening and there came to be morning, the first day
and this phrase is repeated for all 6 days of creation.
The
vision of the evening and morning for 2300 nights... While the 2300 evenings
and mornings vision was fulfilled during the Maccabean revolt and the sanctuary
cleansed, however the Alexandrian calendar (Greek) acceptance prevailed when
times changed to 'evening to evening' muaedim and Shabbat observance '
misunderstood as....there came to be evening and the morning' in Gen 1 with a
day beginning from evening and the month beginning with the first crescent moon
which the Yahudites accepted under Alexandrian rule prevailed a wide acceptance
into Judaism and is even observed today. Hence, it's vital to understand what
Gen 1 means when it says... 'There came to be evening and there came to be
morning, first day'
Gen 1:3
And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.
4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness.
5 And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day.
4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good. And Elohim separated the light from the darkness.
5 And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first day.
Aluahym
started with darkness as Gen 1:2 says And the earth came to be formless and
empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep..... and Gen 1:3 Aluahym said
''Let there be light" and there was light and he separated the light from
the darkness and he called the light Day. This shows Aluahym began with the
Light which he called Day and it preceded the night and not vice versa. Hence,
the Day which began with the first beam of light ended with the Night unto the
next first beam of light... A full 24 hours.. i.e. morning (when light came to
be), evening when it disappeared and morning when it reappeared was first day.
There
are those who advocate 'evening to evening' day observance teach that the earth
was in darkness which was night, then Aluahym said ''Let there be light'' and
there was light, and the words 'there came to be evening and there came to be
morning, first day' was just a summary of a day from 'evening to evening'.
Their idea comes from YashaYahu 45:7
Isa
45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, יהוה, do all these.’
They
say if there was darkness as stated in Gen 1:2 then Aluahym started with
darkness and then brought the light,
Hebrew:
way’hiy-`ereb way’hiy-boqer yom ‘echad (And there was evening and there was
morning, one day) they say was just a summary as in Gen 5:23
Gen
5:23 So all the days were (Hebrew: way’hiy kal-y’mey) of Chanok three hundred
and sixty-five years.
They
say the Hebrew phrase 'way’hiy' is just a summary just as in summarizing
Enoch's life. There are two flaws into their claim
1) YashaYahu 45:6 the preceding verse of 7 says.... (here are both the verses:
1) YashaYahu 45:6 the preceding verse of 7 says.... (here are both the verses:
Isa
45:6 so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is
none but Me. I am יהוה, and
there is none else,
Isa 45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, יהוה, do all these.’
Isa 45:7 forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, יהוה, do all these.’
...verse
6 says so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there
is none but me. Yahuah begins with the order of sunrise/light.
The
second flaw is that the Gen 1:2 darkness was a perpetual darkness with absence
of light, so if Aluahym didn't say ''Let there be light'' which is a
progression towards 'life' the darkness was perpetual and absent from 'light or
life'. Moreover, after the summary of the first day 'way’hiy kal-y’mey' the phrase
is repeated for another 5 consecutive times, does this mean every time Alahym
reset to creating in darkness and then moving on to light and then back to
darkness?
Think
about this, does Aluahym really want us to go to bed soon after the day has
started? No! that does not make any sense. But the day starting at morning
twilight/sunrise makes plenty of sense! If the month is determined by the moon
and the day is determined by the sun, and even the "sunset to sunset"
doctrine teaches that the sun determines the beginning and ending of a day,
then why would the sun determine the START of the day by
setting/ceasing/resting/being lowered/going down at the start? Doesn't it make
much more sense that the sun determines the start of the new day by
rising/springing forth/shining new light/casting away darkness? Which makes
more sense?
The
Jews today only follow a lunar calendar giving no relevance to the sun which
Aluahym made to rule the day. Both the sun and the moon are equally important
in time keeping and one cannot precede the other as stated in Gen 1:14 ....let
them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years, there are those
who only follow a Solar calendar leaving out the moon and both are incorrect.
Psalms
89: 35 “Once I have sworn by My set-apartness, I do not lie to Dawiḏ:
36 “His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
37 “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.
36 “His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
37 “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.
The
seed of Daud is likened to be like the sun and the moon whose witness in the
heaven is steadfast. The sun, moon and stars spiritually point to Yasharal as
seen in Rev 12 which says there was a great Sign/aut H226 in the heavens with
the Woman clothed with the Sun, moon and crown of twelve stars on her head.
Rev
12:1 And a great sign/aut H226 was seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the
sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Rev 12:2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labour and in pain to give birth.
Rev 12:2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labour and in pain to give birth.
The
sign of sun turning black and moon turning into blood and stars falling before
the great day of Yahuah is evident today as they all fell for the Aut/signs
falling into the line of Qayin who had the same aut/H226 mark placed on his
forehead. The physical ushers us into the spiritual.... I was in the Ruach in
the Day of Yahuah... New Yerushalayim doesn't have timekeepers as Yahuah Alahym
and the Lamb are the light of it
Rev
1:10 I came to be in the RUACH on the Day of יהוה, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
Rev
22:5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the
light of the sun, because יהוה Elohim
shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
We are
in hope to enter into New Yerushalayim looking at Mashiyach to deliver us from
the black sun and blood moon sign before the coming of the great day of Yahuah.
Joe
2:31 the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the
coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.
But
it's important to tie the events of Yasharal and their fall as their fall meant
rising for us. Mashiyach is likened to the Sun of righteousness rising with
healing in his wings.
Mal 4:2
“But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing
in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.
We saw
in Psalms 89:35-37 the seed of Daud will be like the sun and the moon and their
witness in heaven is steadfast. The seed of Daud is Mashiyach and we in him. We
need to go through the veil of his flesh into the Ruach to see the fulfilment
of the faithful witness Yahuah gave in his appointed times and Shabbats
Heb
10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the
blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Pre-exile
Yasharal though unfaithful in many ways followed what was handed to them by
Masha through Torah where the spring was the beginning of months just as Yahuah
commanded in Exodus 12 which is the vernal equinox which falls in March (21st)
of each year and the full moon determines the muaedim/appointed times and the
Shabbats, we observe the same feasts being transitioned spiritually in
Mashiyach. Vernal equinox is when the center of the Sun comes closer to the
equator and it happens twice a year once in March and once in September.
Exo
12:2 “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of
the year for you.
Hence,
we see both the sun and the moon in the correct perspective for time keeping.
Gen
1:16 And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
What
about the stars? The stars are clearly visible with their constellations at the
vernal equinox in March.
Psalms
81: 3 Blow a shophar in the New Moon/chadash, in the full moon/kasah H3677 on
our solemn feast/chag
4 For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.
4 For this is a law a for Yisra’ĕl, And a right-ruling of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ.
Kasah means Full Moon and H3680 it means something that is concealed/covered
Psalms
104:19 He made the moon/yarach H3394 for appointed times/muaedim H4150; The sun
knows it’s going down.
20 You put darkness, and it is night, In it all the beasts of the forest creep.
20 You put darkness, and it is night, In it all the beasts of the forest creep.
The
moon/yarach was made for the muaedim/appointed times and we read in Psalms 81:3
it is the full moon and not a crescent moon as modern Judaism follows. Hence,
it's clear that the sun determines the beginning of the first month during
vernal equinox during March each year and rules the day from morning to evening
and the full moon rules the night and determines the beginning of the months in
which the muaedim/appointed times or Shabbats fell.
In the
Pentateuch the word 'morning' always preceded the word 'evening'
Gen
8:22 as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and
winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”
Lev
8:35 “And stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night for
seven days. And you shall guard the duty of יהוה, and not die, for so I have been commanded.”
Deu 28:66
“And your life shall be hanging in suspense before you, and you shall fear day
and night, and not be certain of your life.
Modern
Judaism follows the Winter equinox i.e. in September and celebrate the New Year
at Rosh Hashanah (Festival of Trumpets) rather than in the month of Abib which
is the beginning of months. They observe the crescent moon for the beginning of
their months and their night precede the day i.e. their days begin from evening
to evening. Thus, we see from a historical perspective a lot of change
happened, Rome further modified times and seasons as their Ceasar's to stay
more days/years in power changed the times and seasons, everything as Daniel
prophesied about the evening and morning prophecy depicting the coming apostasy.
Today we see each man/woman doing what is right in their own eyes and they
would refuse to see Yasharal's historical perspective that in their dispersion
all their physical New moons, Shabbats, Appointed times etc. ceased, they will
not transition into the Ruach in observing days in a fulfillment and
completeness in Mashiyach.
Hos
2:11 “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New Moons, and
her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease,
2 Ch
36:21 in order to fill the word of יהוה by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her
Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were
completed.
Psa
137:1 By the rivers of Baḇel, there we sat down and we wept As we remembered
Tsiyon.
Psa 137:2 We hung our lyres Upon the willows in the midst of it.
Psa 137:3 For there our captors Asked us for the words of a song, and our plunderers for rejoicing, saying, “Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!”
Psa 137:4 How could we sing the song of יהוה on foreign soil?
Psa 137:2 We hung our lyres Upon the willows in the midst of it.
Psa 137:3 For there our captors Asked us for the words of a song, and our plunderers for rejoicing, saying, “Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!”
Psa 137:4 How could we sing the song of יהוה on foreign soil?
People
have lost discernment not able to see and understand the sign of the sun
turning black and the moon into blood before the great day of Yahuah.
Those
who lift their eyes to the hills from where our help comes from (Psalms 121:1)
the sun shall not strike them by day nor the moon by night, if we don’t
transition into the Ruach day in Mashiyach and observe the appointed day in the
way it should be then the same sun and the moon set for appointed times will be
like plagues to those claiming to be part of Yasharal.
Psa
121:6 The sun does not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
One of
the plagues mentioned in Revelation 16 is the sun scorching men to death
Rev
16:8 And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given
to him to burn men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of Elohim who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.
Rev 16:9 And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of Elohim who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.
The
dabar of Yahuah is spiritual and we must see the spiritual aspect and not a
literal sun scorching men to death but those after the aut/signs H226 (occupied
in carnal letter) which Yahuah made pointing to the spiritual.
The
lights in the night are prophetic of the dabar of Yahuah which shines in a dark
place until the day star rises in our heart.
2 Peter
1:19 And we have the prophetic word made more certain, which you do well to
heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
morning star rises in your hearts,
Our
Master calls himself as the bright and morning star which is another indication
that the day begins with sunrise and not sunset
Rev
22:16 “I, יהושע, have
sent My messenger to witness to you these matters in the assemblies. I am the
Root and the Offspring of Dawiḏ, the Bright and Morning Star.”
He
promises to give us the morning star...Rev 2: 28 “And I shall give him the
morning star.
1 Thess
5: 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake
you as a thief.
5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
We are
also called children of Day. The Day of Yahuah cannot overtake us to those who
look at Mashiyach as the faithful witness because we have transitioned from the
physical to the spiritual through the veil of his flesh.
But we
cannot deny the historical perspective by which we can pin point the days to
observe them perfectly in Mashiyach, for if you read these Torah portions you
will never understand because of the confusion that would arise from face value
reading unless understood from a correct perspective. Here are a few:
Passover...
Yahuah asked Yasharal in Mitsyarim to kill the Pesach lamb on the evening of
the 14th day of the first month
Exo
12:3 “Speak to all the congregation of Yasharal, saying, ‘On the tenth day of
this new moon each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the
house of his father, a lamb for a household.
6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same new moon. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yasharal shall slay it between the evenings.
6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same new moon. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yasharal shall slay it between the evenings.
And
Yahuah says... Exo 12: 50 And all the children of Yasharal did as יהוה commanded Mosheh and
Aharon, so they did.
51 And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yasharal out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.
51 And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yasharal out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.
It says
on the same day (fourteenth day) Yahuah brought the children of Yasharal out of
the land of Egypt. They killed the lamb in the evening of the 14th day and the
angel of death came at midnight so going by the current Jewish calendar post 6
pm shouldn't it be 15th day? and yet Yahuah says on the same day Yahuah brought
them out.
Exo
12:42 It is a night of watches unto יהוה for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This is that
night of watches unto יהוה, for
all the children of Yasharal throughout their generations.
This
was the night of watches to them throughout their generations. Yahuah
instructed them not to keep any portion of the roasted lamb until morning and
they had to burn whatever remained of it before the morning came in. Why would
Yahuah give such an instruction unless the Pesach day began on the 14th at dawn
and ended at dawn ushering the 15th day which is the High Shabbat of the feast
of Unleavened bread?
Exo
12:8 ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with
unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exo 12:9 ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts.
Exo 12:10 ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire.
Exo 12:9 ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts.
Exo 12:10 ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire.
Numbers
33: 3 So they departed from Raʽmeses in the first month, on the fifteenth
day of the first month, on the morrow of the Pesach the children of
Yasharal went out with boldness before the eyes of all the Mitsrites,
Numbers
33:3 says they departed on the morrow of the Passover on the 15th day. This
shows that the Pesach actually ended at dawn with the beginning of the 15th day
when the first beam of light came in so both the selfsame day as stated in Exo
12:51 and 15th day of the first new moon in Numbers 33:3 are correct because
the transition happened at dawn when they left Egypt. How do we know this?
Exo
12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all
the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a
house where there was not a dead one.
Exo 12:31 Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yasharal. And go, serve יהוה as you have said.
Exo 12:32 “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall barak me too.”
Exo 12:31 Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yasharal. And go, serve יהוה as you have said.
Exo 12:32 “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall barak me too.”
Scriptures
show us Pharaoh and his servants the Egyptians rose up at night and called for
Masha and Aharon by night asking them to leave Egypt.
And the
people took their dough before it was LEAVENED
Exo
12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their
kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders.
Unleavened
bread eating began on the evening of the 14th day of the first month until the
21st day of the same month in the evening for on this same day Yahuah brought
their divisions out of Egypt but we see Numbers 33:3 says he brought them out
on the 15th day of the first month. We will never understand these Torah
portions unless we understand them in the right perspective.
Exo
12:17 ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on this same
day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard
this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law.
Exo
12:18 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you
shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the
evening.
Summarizing,
the unleavened bread eating began on the 14th evening which was still the 14th
and yet the first day of Pesach until the 21st evening of the Unleavened bread.
The 15th day of the month of the feast of Unleavened bread would actually usher
in at dawn just as Yahuah said that in the selfsame day he brought them out of
Egypt and Numbers 33:3 says they came out on the 15th day of the first month
because the night was a ‘night of watch’ for them for all generations unlike
other nights when they slept in rest.
The
counting of eating Unleavened bread would be from 14th evening to the 21st
evening making it 7 days of Unleavened bread eating.
There
was a difference of Pesach observance between the Galileans from the northern
tribes and from the Yahudites (from Yahudah). The northern tribes observed
Pesach like any other feast or Shabbat from 'morning to morning' whereas the
southern tribes post exile from Babylon adopted the 'evening to evening'
observance. This can be seen from Yahuchanan 18:28 that the southern tribes (including
the Pharisees, Saducees, lawyers, priests etc. of that time) had not yet killed
their Pesach lamb and hence to avoid defilement did not enter the Praetorium.
John
18:28 Then they led Yahusha from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early
in the morning; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that
they would not be defiled but might eat the Passover.
Yahusha
and his disciples who lived in Galilee (part of the northern tribe settlement)
had already observed the Pesach the previous night.
Luk
22:7 And the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover had to be
slaughtered.
Luk 22:8 And He sent Kĕpha and Yoḥanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.”
Luk 22:9 And they said to Him, “Where do You wish us to prepare?”
Luk 22:10 And He said to them, “See, as you enter into the city, a man shall meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him into the house he enters.
Luk 22:11 “And you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I might eat the Passover with My taught ones?” ’
Luk 22:12 “And he shall show you a large, furnished upper room. Prepare it there.”
Luk 22:13 And going they found it as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Luk 22:8 And He sent Kĕpha and Yoḥanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.”

Yahuchanan/John
records Yahusha was brought out of the Praetorium at the sixth hour but we have
Mark recording that he was impaled at the third hour, and Matthew records there
was darkness over the whole land from the sixth hour to the ninth hour
Joh
19:14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover week, and about the sixth
hour. And he said to the Yehuḏim, “See your Sovereign!”
Mar
15:25 And it was the third hour, and they impaled Him.
Mat
27:45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until
the ninth hour.
Mat
27:46 And about the ninth hour יהושע cried
out with a loud voice, saying, “Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”
Yahuah
records the difference in hours to show Yahuchanan/John recording the Roman
civil time from midnight as Pilate was deciding the fate of the trial...sixth
hour from midnight which would be 6 am in the morning because John records in
18:28....and it was early in the morning
John
18:27 Kepha then denied again, and immediately a rooster crowed
John 18:28 Then they led Yahusha from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early in the morning; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
John 18:28 Then they led Yahusha from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early in the morning; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
Mark
records the third hour from sunrise showing when he was impaled and Matthew and
Luke compliment Mark's record because Matt 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44 all
three texts say there was darkness over the whole land from the sixth hour/12pm
to the ninth hour/3pm. Though there were two other calendar's floating 'sunrise
to sunrise' and 'evening to evening' the common thing among the two were they
had the same measurement of hours in the night watches and the morning watches
but greatly differed from the start point and the end point of a day. It’s not
that Yahuchanan/John was following a Roman calendar; he simply records the time
as per the trial hour according to the Roman ruler Pilate. We must not forget
all of Yahusha's disciples were at the Pesach the night before with the Master
himself, while the sunset to sunset observer's had yet to kill their Pesach
sacrifice on the evening of Yahusha's death.
John
19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the arab Shabbat (translated as
Preparation), so that the bodies would not remain on the stake on the Shabbat
(for that Shabbat was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be
broken, and that they might be taken away.
The Abary word 'arab' H6153 means 'evening' and also means 'meddle/mingle/barter/mix'. The same audience of the 'evening to evening' observance in John 18:28 wouldn't enter in the Praetorium so as to not defile themselves but might eat the Passover and here in John 19:31 they request Pilate that their legs might not be broken and their bodies not remain on the stake so that their high Shabbat be not broken. They had not yet eaten their Passover. So, what is happening here? According to their calendar they were still on the 13th of Abib which began the previous evening, so at closing the 13th evening transitioning to 14th Abib according to their sunset to sunset time measure they would kill their Pesach lamb, which actually they had to kill the earlier evening as Yahusha’s disciples did and watch the night as Torah states eating the roasted lamb along with the Unleavened Bread right until the 21st day of the first month.

They
broke Torah, because we saw Yahusha observed the Pesach the previous evening
with his disciples and in the morning when he was brought before Pilate at 6 am
it was already the feast of Unleavened bread which was a high Shabbat and they
didn't realize this and impaled him on the high Shabbat. However, unknowingly
they fulfilled the exact timing in a way because when Yahusha was dying on the
stake the people would have started preparing the sacrificing of the Pesach
Lamb along with the daily evening sacrifice.
In
summary of what we have discussed "The chronological reckoning between
Yahuchanan’s /John's basarah and the synoptics presents a challenge, especially
in relation to the time of the Last Supper. While the synoptics portray the
disciples and the Adonay at the Last Supper as eating the Passover meal on
evening of Abib 14, and Yahusha being impaled the next day, John's basarah
states that the Jews did not enter into the Praetorium "so that they would
not be defiled, but might eat the Passover" (John 18:28). So, the disciples
had eaten the Passover on the previous evening, but the Jews had not. In fact,
John (19:14) states that Yahusha's trial and impaling were on the day of
Preparation for the Passover and not after the eating of the Passover, so that
with the trial and impaling, Mashiyach was actually sacrificed at the same time
the Passover lambs were being slain (19:14) when actually it was already the
high Shabbat of Unelavened Bread.
Joh
19:14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And
he said to the Yahuḏim, “See your Sovereign!”
And it was because of the difference among the Jews in the way they reckoned the beginning and ending of days.
The
disciples of Yahusha understood the Torah perfectly as taught to them by the
Master himself and hence they pinpoint the eating of the unleavened bread on
the 14th of Abib in the evening along with the Passover just as Exodus 12
commands.
Matt
26:17 Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came
to Yahusha and asked, where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the
Passover?
Day of
Atonement:
Lev 23:
27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom ha Kippurim. It shall
be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings and shall
bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Lev
23:32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On
the ninth day of the new month at evening, from evening to evening,
you observe your Sabbath.
Which
is correct ninth day or tenth day? Wouldn't ninth day evening transition into
tenth day if all Shabbats and feasts were from evening to evening? Why would
Yahuah say 10th day of the seventh month in verse 27 and few verses down in
verse 32 he says ninth day at evening if ninth day evening was already the
tenth day according to the 'evening to evening' calendar? This shows that the
Day of Atonement began on the evening of the 9th day of the seventh month at
evening, the 10th day beginning at dawn and the fast ending in the evening of
the 10th day (while the actual day would transition from 10th to the 11th at
dawn). A complete 24-hour evening to evening high Shabbat. A pure exception
which cannot be a rule for other feasts and Shabbats. The reason of such an
observation was because it was a night of watching just as Pesach was.
This is
also the ONLY time this phrase "evening unto evening" in the entire
Bible is used, the closest to it is Unleavened bread as it started from 14th
evening to 21st evening. In Yahudi custom most fast days are considered minor
fast days lasting from sunrise to sunset and they were permitted to eat
breakfast if they ate it before sunrise. With Yahuah asking them to observe the
Fast the previous evening was to humble the soul into ruling out any form of
eating before sunrise so that they humble their souls before him. The spiritual
significance being seeing the affliction and sacrifice of Yahusha our Mashiyach
and humbling our souls before him in looking on him whom we pierced.
Zec
12:10 “And I shall pour on the house of Dawiḏ and on the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look on Me whom
they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son. And
they shall be in bitterness over Him as a bitterness over the first-born.
Zec 12:11 “In that day the mourning in Yerushalayim is going to be great, like the mourning at Haḏaḏ Rimmon in the valley of Meḡiddo.
Zec 12:11 “In that day the mourning in Yerushalayim is going to be great, like the mourning at Haḏaḏ Rimmon in the valley of Meḡiddo.
Re 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which
pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so,
Aman.
Luk 5:33 And they said to Him, “Why do the taught ones of Yaḥuchanan fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”
Luk 5:34 And He said to them, “Are you able to make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
Luk 5:35 “But days shall come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.”
We fast
looking and hastening the coming of our bridegroom to come to take us to be
with him in New Yerushalayim. As long as the bridegroom was with them his
disciples didn't fast. Hence the fast is spiritual as it is a watch of wailing
for the Son whom we pierced.
Psa
19:4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end
of the world. In them He set up a tent for the sun,
Psa 19:5 And it /sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his man/kind of H4480 room, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.
Psa 19:6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, and its circuit to the other end; And naught is hidden from its heat.
Psa 19:5 And it /sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his man/kind of H4480 room, It rejoices like a strong man to run the path.
Psa 19:6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, and its circuit to the other end; And naught is hidden from its heat.
The sun here is likened to a bridegroom coming out of a ‘kind of/ Hebrew: man H4480’ of his room and running it's course
Mal 4:1 “For look, the day shall come, burning like a furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And the day that shall come shall burn them up,” said יהוה of hosts, “which leaves to them neither root nor branch.
Mal 4:2 “But to you who fear My Name the Sun/shamash H8121 of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and be scattered/push H6335 like calves/agalay H5695 from the stall.
The 'signs/aut' H226 were related to the firmament and show us while the physical sun is darkened and strikes those occupied in carnal observance in opposition as Torah states, our bridegroom who is like the SUN will rise with healing in his wings on us
Rev
6:12 And I looked when He opened the sixth seal and saw a great earthquake came
to be. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as
blood.
The sun/shamash H8121 is likened to Yahusha the bridegroom coming out of his chamber/room as a strong man rejoicing to run the path of a CIRCLE with nothing hidden from its path scorching all those outside the covenant with burning like a furnace, burning all the proud and the wrong doer as a stubble. Verse 2 of Mal 4 says ''....And you shall go out and be scattered like calves/agal H5695 and this same word agal H5696 means 'circular/round' shows the elect of Yahusha being scattered on the circle of the earth whom he gathers under his wings by healing them.
The sun/shamash H8121 is likened to Yahusha the bridegroom coming out of his chamber/room as a strong man rejoicing to run the path of a CIRCLE with nothing hidden from its path scorching all those outside the covenant with burning like a furnace, burning all the proud and the wrong doer as a stubble. Verse 2 of Mal 4 says ''....And you shall go out and be scattered like calves/agal H5695 and this same word agal H5696 means 'circular/round' shows the elect of Yahusha being scattered on the circle of the earth whom he gathers under his wings by healing them.
Rev 16:8 And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to burn men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of Aluahym who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.
Those outside the covenant will be scorched with severe heat turning them to stubble as Malachi 4:1 says while the elect will be covered by the shamash/sun of righteousness with healing in his wings even though they are scattered.
When measuring time, the moon was designated to rule only with the stars by night, meaning that when the moon begins to rule arising in the east when the sun has just set in the west, marking the commencement of night. The moon is the lesser light spoken of in Genesis 1:14-18, we find it was created and ordained for the purpose of projecting its full LIGHT on the night it ruled, which can only be realized in a FULL MOON and is designated spiritually to prophecy which shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in our hearts. The bright and morning star is Yahusha ha Mashiyach.
2Pe 1:19 And we have the prophetic word made more certain, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
The night watches:
Just as Pesach night was a night of watches unto them... The Day of atonement was also a night of watches from the 9th evening. Was it a coincidence that on the night after eating the Pesach meal with his disciples Yahusha went to the mount of Olives and prayed and when he found his disciples sleeping he asked them to Watch and Pray that they enter not into temptation?
Mat 26:40 And He came to the taught ones and found them asleep, and said to Kĕpha, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour?
Mat 26:41 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
Matt 24:42 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming. 43 “And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 “Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Aḏam is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
The whore tells us when the good man of the house is coming...
Proverbs 7:19 “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey; 20 “He took a bag of silver with him; He comes home on the day of the Full moon /kasah H3677.
The whore is fleshly Yasharal... Hagar with her children... while she pinpoints the time of her husband’s coming i.e. at Full Moon while she herself has gone into whoredoms of a black sun and blood moon calendar of Judaism. Once these facts are realized it can be understood why the urgent call goes forth in Revelation for Yahuah’s obedient followers to “come out of Babylon.” For all the false calendar systems based upon the sun and/or fraudulent new moons only give birth to erroneous Sabbaths and inaccurate Feast Days. We see many occupied with these today and have even made them go out of the inspired scrolls to fit what they believe by quoting from them.
The
temple sacrifices were always from morning to evening and the temple was closed
to the people at night while only the priests guarded the watches of the continuous
incense and the oil and fire in the lampstands in the nights. What's
interesting to see is that Exo 30:7 says Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense
morning by morning as he trims the lamps he shall burn incense on it. The lamps
and the incense were to be continual without a break so what the verse means is
Aharon the high priest trims the lamps i.e. checks them/dresses them/amend
them. The word 'yatab' means to dress/amend/trim/to be good such as in being
functional. The word 'yatab' has the root word 'tub/tab' which means 'good'
Exo
30:5 “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
Exo 30:6 “And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Witness, before the lid of atonement that is over the Witness, where I am to meet with you.
Exo 30:7 “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he trims/yatab H3190 the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
Exo 30:8 “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – a continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations.
Exo 30:6 “And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Witness, before the lid of atonement that is over the Witness, where I am to meet with you.
Exo 30:7 “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he trims/yatab H3190 the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
Exo 30:8 “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – a continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations.
While
the evening and night watches for lampstands and incense were maintained, the
day was from morning to morning which is seen from the fact that Aharon dressed
the lamps in the mornings , the only exception being the Day of Atonement which
began on an evening and ended on an evening and the Unleavened Bread eating
which began on the 14th evening and ended on the 21st evening. The Yahudites
normalized and fit all their other feast & Shabbat days to an evening to
evening observance.
Manna:
Exo
16:16 “This is the word which יהוה has
commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need,
an omer for each being, according to the number of beings. Let every man take
for those who are in his tent.’ ”
Exo 16:17 And the children of Yasharal did so and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his need.
Exo 16:19 And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exo 16:20 And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22 And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.
Exo 16:23 And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ”
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it.
Exo 16:25 And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field.
Exo 16:17 And the children of Yasharal did so and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his need.
Exo 16:19 And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exo 16:20 And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22 And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.
Exo 16:23 And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ”
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it.
Exo 16:25 And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field.
lt is clear that in verse 19 manna was not to be kept up until the next day - morning and that it came every morning and not evening (verse 21). When they kept it for the Sabbath it was kept up until the next morning (day start) -daybreak and used that day as it said in verse 23 - tomorrow is the rest. In verses 24-25 they were told in the morning, “today is a Sabbath to Yahuah” - they were not told the night before.
The following morning when Shabbat ended it would come fresh in the morning, not evening
Weekly Shabbat:
Based
on the various calendar's floating today we see many on Facebook send a
greeting of Shabbat Shalum on different days, some on Thursdays, Some on Friday
evening, Some on Saturday and so on. This reminds me of Rev 11 the two
witnesses which is the truthful witness of the Turah and the prophets which the
beast which arises from tahum/deep pit will fight against and kill the truthful
witness and while the witness lies dead on the streets of Yerushalayim which is
spiritually called Sodom and Egypt where our Master was impaled, the people
send gifts to one another, and we see the gifts of greeting Shabbat Shalum
being exchanged.
Rev 11:7 And when they have ended their witness, the beast coming up out of the pit of the deep shall fight against them, and overcome them, and kill them,
Rev 11:8 and their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Seḏom and Mitsrayim, where also our Master was impaled,
Rev 11:9 and some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their dead bodies for three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be placed into tombs,
Rev 11:10 and those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and exult. And they shall send gifts to each other, because these two prophets tortured those dwelling on the earth.
Ezekiel 13:10 “Because, yes because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace/Shalum!' when there is no peace/Shalum. And when one is building a wall, see, they are coating it with whitewash!
Jer
6:14 “And they heal the breach of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace/Shalum,
peace/Shalum,’ when there is no peace/Shalum.
Jer 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had done abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore, they shall fall among those who fall. They shall stumble at the time I visit them,” said יהוה.

Mat 24:15 “So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’ spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – he who reads, let him understand
Yahusha
quoted Daniel's prophecy of Daily being taken away and specifically says
''...he who reads, let him understand''

11:29 “At the appointed time/muaed he shall return and go toward the south, but
it shall not be like the former or the latter.
Dan 11:30 “For ships from Kittim shall come against him, and he shall lose heart, and shall return in rage against the set-apart covenant, and shall act, and shall return and consider those who forsake the set-apart covenant.
Dan 11:31 “And strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place, the stronghold, and shall take away that which is continual, and set up the abomination that lays waste
Dan 11:30 “For ships from Kittim shall come against him, and he shall lose heart, and shall return in rage against the set-apart covenant, and shall act, and shall return and consider those who forsake the set-apart covenant.
Dan 11:31 “And strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place, the stronghold, and shall take away that which is continual, and set up the abomination that lays waste
Da
12:11 And from the time that the daily shall be taken away, and the abomination
that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety
days.
At the
muaed/appointed time the Greek beast will return..the ships from Kittim (Kittim
is Rome H3794) shall come against him but he will return and consider those who
forsake the set-apart covenant and the strong ones shall arise from him and
profane the set-apart place and take away that which is continual and set up
the abomination that lays waste. It's important to note that he returns at
muaed/feast of Yahuah. Also, we saw the verses which state the power of the
qodesh people will be scattered for time/muaed, times/muaedim and khatsay.
These are the days we live in. One needs eyes to discern the sun turning black
and the moon turning into blood before the great Day of Yahuah while those able
to see the aut/signs have entered into the Ruach of the Day of Yahuah as the
physical Day transitions into the spiritual in Mashiyach which is eternal.
John
20:1 And it came to be on the first of the Shabbats Miriam Magdalene came early
to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone taken away from the
tomb.
Many
translations translate this verse as Now on the first day of the week, based on
the Greek manuscripts but the Abary translation says 'way’hiy b’echad
baShabbatot' which is correctly translated as 'And it came to be on the first
of the Shabbats.......'
The
'evening to evening' observers present a case stating 'On the first day of the
week while it was still dark' and refute the 'morning to morning' observation
as the 'first day of the week' without realizing that a new day would only
begin at sunrise with the first beam of light and before the sunrise it would
still be the Shabbat. Miriam came to the tomb while it was still dark so it
couldn’t have been the first day of the week but still the Shabbat.
Firstly, they have the translation wrong as 'First day of the week' whereas Yahuchanan/John is showing the counting of the first of the Shabbats to the 7th Shabbat to Shavuot/Pentecost. Secondly, they don't compare with other scriptures as Luke shows us Miriam with other women came at early dawn i.e. when the day was transitioning from a Shabbat (on which Yahusha had already risen as the tomb was empty) to the first day of the week. At DAWN....while it was still dark in John 20:1 was dawn. Let's compare all the 4 basarah's to see this....

look at the grave.
Matthew
records the eve of the Shabbats of the Unleavened bread as it began towards the
first in Shabbats, he too is showing the counting of the first of the weekly
Shabbat counting to Shavout/Pentecost. They translated 'ba/beyt' which means
'in' as 'of'
We must realize the 4 basarah's are like the 4 dimensions of the 4 faces of the karub i.e. man, lion, ox & eagle each figurative of the witness of Yahusha ha Mashiyach.
We must realize the 4 basarah's are like the 4 dimensions of the 4 faces of the karub i.e. man, lion, ox & eagle each figurative of the witness of Yahusha ha Mashiyach.
Eze
1:10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and each of the four
had the face of a lion on the right side, and each of the four had the face of
an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
Hence,
we must reconcile the witness of the 4 basarah's to see the whole picture. The
4 basarah's testify Miriam and the women came at dawn while it was still dark
on a Shabbat transition to sunlight and this was the first of the Shabbats unto
Shavout and remained there as the sun rose to a new day which was the first day
of the week.
John
20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first of the Shabbats, and when
the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Yahusha
came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
John 20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Master.
John 20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Master.
The Shabbat had already crossed over but Yahuchanan/John to show the maintaining of the count of the first of the 7’s to Shavout tells us it was evening of the count of the first of the Shabbats. What is also notable is that Yahusha is the firstfruits/bakar H1061 and ‘bakar’ is very closely related to baqar/morning H1242
Bakar
H1061: Firstfruits
Baqar H1242: Morning/early/morrow
Both words 'bakar' and 'baqar' have the root word 'bar' which means 'Son'. In 'bakar/firstfruits' the root word 'kar' means 'bowl/hollow/dig'...the hollow/bowl is the picture of the womb from where the Son/Bar springs forth as the firstborn/firstfruits...Daud's offspring.
In 'baqar' the root word 'qar' means to call, the Son/Bar as the sun/quph on the horizon calls and that's what the first beam of light brought in...a hope of Mashiyach as Gen 1:3 is defined by Shaul in 2 Corin 4:6 ... For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Aluahym in the face of יהושע Messiah.
The Son
who sprang forth from the womb/bakar is on the horizon calling /baqar...He is
the bright and morning star, the root and offspring of Daud.
Coming back to the tomb, Miriam and the other women came with the spices and found the tomb empty, she ran and told Kepha and the other disciple whom Yahusha loved
Coming back to the tomb, Miriam and the other women came with the spices and found the tomb empty, she ran and told Kepha and the other disciple whom Yahusha loved
John
20:2 So she ran and came to Simon Kepha and to the other disciple whom Yahusha
loved, and said to them, they have taken away the Master out of the tomb, and
we do not know where they have laid Him.
By that
time, it must have been the morning with the Shabbat ending and that's why Mark
is giving witness the sun had risen but doesn't give the events that happened
from dawn to the rising of the sun which Yahuchanan/John does. The other
disciple outran Kepha and they saw the tomb empty. When they had gone back to
their homes having believed...Miriam stood there weeping and had a first
encounter with the risen Mashiyach.
John 20:10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
John 20:11 But Miriam was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
Yahusha
told her not to touch him for he had not yet ascended to the Father
John 20:15 Yahusha said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, Master, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I shall take Him away.
John 20:16 Yahusha said to her, “Miriam!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which means, Teacher).
John 20:17 Yahusha said to her, “Touch Me not, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My El and your El.’”
But the
same evening told his disciples to touch him
John
20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first of the Shabbats, and when
the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Yahusha
came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
John
20:20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side.
The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Master.
Why did
he tell Miriam not to touch him early in the morning and that same evening he
told his disciples to touch his hands and his side? For this we must understand
Torah.
Three
days from Pesach was the feast of the firstfruits, the Yasharali had to bring
the first-fruits/rashayath of his harvest to the priest and the morrow after
the Shabbat he had to waive it and offer the ban/son lamb a year old, a perfect
one with its grain offering and till they offered this they were not to eat
bread or roasted grain or fresh grain.
Lev
23:9 And יהוה spoke
to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:10 “Speak to the children of Yasharal, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.
Lev 23:10 “Speak to the children of Yasharal, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.
Lev
23:12 ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male/ban
lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,
Lev 23:13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
Lev 23:14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Lev 23:13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
Lev 23:14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
So we
see spiritually Mashiyach fulfilling this as he is the firstfruits offered on
the morrow after the Shabbat, the morning light brought in the morrow after the
Shabbat and very early in the morning the firstfruits were not yet offered in
the Yahudi temple but during the course of the day from sunrise to sunset the
Yasharali's would offer the firstfruits of their barley harvest and the priest
would waive it before Yahuah, that's why he told her not to touch him. But the
same evening he told the disciples to touch his hands and his feet because
during the course of the day the firstfruit wave offering would have been
completed with the ban/male lamb offering and the grain offering. Hence, we see
Mashiyach fulfilling Torah.
Laws of
remaining unclean until the evening:
There
were various laws which kept one unclean until the evening, laws like touching
the bed of a woman mensuration, man who had an emission, man and his wife who
had a sexual intercourse etc. They were to bathe, and they would remain unclean
until evening.
Lev
15:16 ‘And when a man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his
flesh in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:17 ‘And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, shall also be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:18 ‘And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:19 ‘And when a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her flesh is blood, she has to be in her separation for seven days. And whoever touches her is unclean until evening.
Lev 15:20 ‘And whatever she lies on during her separation is unclean. And whatever she sits on is unclean.
Lev 15:21 ‘And anyone who touches her bed has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:22 ‘And whoever touches any object that she sat on has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:23 ‘And if it is on the bed or on any object on which she sits, when he touches it, he is unclean until evening.
Lev 15:17 ‘And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, shall also be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:18 ‘And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:19 ‘And when a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her flesh is blood, she has to be in her separation for seven days. And whoever touches her is unclean until evening.
Lev 15:20 ‘And whatever she lies on during her separation is unclean. And whatever she sits on is unclean.
Lev 15:21 ‘And anyone who touches her bed has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:22 ‘And whoever touches any object that she sat on has to wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
Lev 15:23 ‘And if it is on the bed or on any object on which she sits, when he touches it, he is unclean until evening.
The
'evening to evening' observers would quickly state the day resets at 'evening'
so that's why they were clean after the evening and hence the 'morning to
morning observance is wrong. They say for if the morning to morning observance
would be correct then they should be clean at dawn and not the evening.
What
they fail to see is if they would be unclean until the dawn/twilight they
wouldn't get time to prepare for the Shabbat and other feast days which start
in the morning. Their preparation for the Shabbat and other high days would
begin at night, for on the Shabbat or high days they were not to cook, gather,
or do any work. The evening to morning would be their PREPARATION TIME for the
appointed time which would begin in the morning. Wouldn’t one say for the
Pesach why there is no preparation time? Of course, there was a preparation
time, they had to keep the lamb from the 10th day of the first month to the
14th day of the first month and kill it in between the evenings. They had full
4 days to prepare and they term it as ‘Preparation Passover’. A person unclean
on the 13th day could wash himself on the same day and he would remain unclean
until the evening, the actual Pesach day would begin in the morning which would
be the 14th and the same evening it would qualify him to kill the Pesach lamb
and eat it with the Unleavened bread. Moreover those on a journey or touching a
dead body had a purification of 7 days law and Yahuah made provision for them
as well as they could observe the Pesach in the second month on the same day.
Num 9:5 So they performed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, between the evenings, in the Wilderness of Sinai. According to all that יהוה commanded Mosheh, so the children of Yasharal did.
Num 9:6
But there were men who were defiled for a being of a man, so that they were not
able to perform the Passover on that day. So, they came before Mosheh and
Aharon that day,
Num 9:7
and those men said to him, “We are defiled for the being of a man. Why are we
withheld from bringing near the offering of יהוה at its appointed time among the children of Yisra’ĕl?”
Num 9:8
And Mosheh said to them, “Wait, let me hear what יהוה commands concerning you.”
Num 9:9
And יהוה spoke
to Mosheh, saying,
Num
9:10 “Speak to the children of Yasharal, saying, ‘When
any male of you or your generations is unclean for a being, or is far away on a
journey, he shall still perform the Passover of יהוה.
Num
9:11 ‘On the fourteenth day of the second month, between the evenings,
they perform it – with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they eat it.
Num
9:12 ‘They do not leave of it until morning, and they do not break a
bone of it. According to all the laws of the Passover they perform it.
Num
9:13 ‘But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and has failed to perform
the Passover, that same being shall be cut off from among his people, because
he did not bring the offering of יהוה at its appointed time – that man bears his sin.
The Torah portion of those coming near a dead body says….
The Torah portion of those coming near a dead body says….
Num 19:11 ‘He who touches/naga H5060 the dead of any human being is unclean for seven days.
Num
19:12 ‘He is to cleanse himself with the water on the third day, and on the
seventh day he is clean. But if he does not cleanse himself on the third day,
then on the seventh day he is not clean.
Num
19:13 ‘Anyone who touches the dead of a human being, and does not cleanse
himself, defiles the Dwelling Place of יהוה. And that being shall be cut off from Yasharal. He is unclean,
for the water for uncleanness was not sprinkled on him, his uncleanness is
still upon him.
The Abary word ‘naga’ also means ‘near/nigh, smite, bring near’. The Jews didn’t enter the Praetorium to avoid defilement, but they came near the dead body of Mashiyach while he hung on the stake becoming unclean and eventually being cut off. Some serious violations of Torah were done by the Yahudi’s at Yahusha’s death. Those who believe in Mashiyach find grace going through the purification by the water of his word on the third day being partakers of the first resurrection.

Continuing
with the unclean until the evening law, the water of purification for the
people of Yasharal, the priest offering the heifer, the one burning the burnt
offering and the one gathering the ashes of the heifer would wash themselves
and remain unclean until the evening. This doesn't mean that the day reset at
evening but gave enough time for even the priests to prepare to present
themselves attendance to the altar, feasts, Shabbats and the service of the
people.
Num
19:1 And יהוה spoke
to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,
Num 19:2 “This is a law of the Torah which יהוה has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Yasharal, that they bring you a red heifer, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish and on which a yoke has never come.
Num 19:3 ‘And you shall give it to Elʽazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and shall slaughter it before him.
Num 19:4 ‘And Elʽazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.
Num 19:5 ‘And the heifer shall be burned before his eyes – he burns its hide, and its flesh, and its blood, and its dung.
Num 19:6 ‘And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet and throw them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer.
Num 19:7 ‘The priest shall then wash his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp, but the priest is unclean until evening.
Num 19:8 ‘And he who is burning it washes his garments in water, and shall bathe his body in water, and is unclean until evening.
Num 19:9 ‘And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and shall place them outside the camp in a clean place. And they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Yasharal for the water for uncleanness, it is for cleansing from sin.

Peace
offerings:
Lev
7:15 ‘As for the flesh of the slaughtering of his peace offering for
thanksgiving, it is eaten the same day it is offered, he does not leave any of
it until morning.
Lev 7:16 ‘And if the offering he brings is a vow or a voluntary offering, it is eaten the same day that he brings his slaughtering, and what is left of it is eaten the next day,
Lev 7:17 but whatever is left of the flesh of the slaughtering on the third day is burned with fire.
Lev 7:16 ‘And if the offering he brings is a vow or a voluntary offering, it is eaten the same day that he brings his slaughtering, and what is left of it is eaten the next day,
Lev 7:17 but whatever is left of the flesh of the slaughtering on the third day is burned with fire.
If the
offering is eaten the same day and none of it is to be left until morning, then
the morning is NOT the same day but the next day! Again, morning here is baqar
H1242 is means daybreak or break of the day or morrow! But if the sacrifice of
his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day
that he offered his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall
be eaten"
Other scriptures showing the new day began at 'sunrise' and not 'sunset':
Other scriptures showing the new day began at 'sunrise' and not 'sunset':
Mar

over to the other side.”

New day, NOT the same day!
Gen
19:33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went
in and lay with her father, and he was not aware of it when she lay down or
when she arose.
34 And it came to be on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, “See, I lay with my father last night. Let us make him drink wine tonight as well, and you go in and lie with him, so that we keep the seed of our father.”
34 And it came to be on the next day that the first-born said to the younger, “See, I lay with my father last night. Let us make him drink wine tonight as well, and you go in and lie with him, so that we keep the seed of our father.”
The
first night the daughters of Lot made him drink wine is separated from the
day... Read verse 34...and it came to be the next day.... If evening to evening
was correct, then the preceding night would be the same day.
Judges
19: 9 And the man arose to go, he and his concubine and his servant. But his
father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, “See, the day is now
drawing toward evening. Please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an
end. Stay here, and let your heart be glad. And you shall rise early tomorrow
for your journey, and you shall go to your tent.”
The day
is coming to an end in the evening... Pls spend the night... And you shall Rise
early Tomorrow (morning brings the morrow).
1Samuel
19:11 And Sha’ul sent messengers to Dawiḏ’s house to watch him and to put him
to death in the morning. And Miḵal, Dawiḏ’s wife, informed him, saying, “If
you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you are put to death.”
Daud's
wife Mikal warned Daud of Shaul's intention to put him to death in the morning
which was TOMORROW and asked him to save his life TONIGHT. Tonight is separated
from the morning (the next day) when Shaul wanted to put Daud to death.
Neh
13:19 And it came to be, at the gates of Yerushalayim, as it began to be
dark/tsalal H6751 before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut,
and commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I
stationed some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought
in on the Sabbath day.
'Evening
to evening' observers use Neh 13:19 as a proof text supporting their view
without reading the context.
Neh 13:15 In those days I saw in Yahuḏah those treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, and figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Yerushalayim on the Sabbath day. So I warned them on the day they sold food.
Neh 13:16 And men of Tsor dwelt there, bringing in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Yahuḏah, and in Yerushalayim.

Neh 13:16 And men of Tsor dwelt there, bringing in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Yahuḏah, and in Yerushalayim.
The
context was that Nehemiah saw the traders from Tsor brought in fish and all kinds
of goods and sold them on the Shabbat to the children of Yahudah and in
Yerushalayim. Nehemiah contends with the nobles as profaning the Shabbat and
takes precautionary measure to close the gate of Yerushalayim the evening
before the Shabbat to prevent these merchants entering into the city at night
to sell to them.
Neh
13:19 And it came to be, at the gates of Yerushalayim, as it began to be dark
before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and commanded that
they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I stationed some of my
servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath
day.
Neh 13:20 And the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares spent the night outside Yerushalayim once or twice,
Neh 13:21 and I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.

Neh 13:21 and I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.
We have
Nehemiah testifying that once he closed the gates of Yerushalayim when it was
getting dark before the Shabbat, the merchants and sellers of all kinds of
wares spent the night outside Yerushalayim once or twice with a hope to enter
in to sell as other times on Shabbat day until Nehemiah warned them (verse 21)
and from that time on they came no more on the Shabbat.
Act 4:3
And they arrested them (Kepha and Yahuchanan), and put them in jail until the
next day, for it was already evening.
If it
was already evening, the evening should bring in the next day, isn't it? :)
1Sa
11:10 So the men of Yaḇĕsh said, “Tomorrow we come out to you, and you shall
do to us whatever seems good to you.”
1Sa 11:11 And it came to be, on the next day, that Sha’ul put the people in three companies. And they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch and smote Ammon until the heat of the day. And it came to be that those left were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

Tomorrow
is associated with the morning watch
There
is so much evidence from scriptures right from Genesis 1 showing the morning
brought in a new day with the first beam of light. The sun marks the beginning
of each new year at the vernal equinox around March 21st and rules the day
morning to sunset, the full moon marks the appointed times in a month and rules
the night with the stars as a light shining in a dark place until the day star
rises in the heart. The luminaries were made as a shadow pointing out to the
true LIGHT Mashiyach and his dabar as a light in a dark path. Those in
Mashiyach have transitioned from the physical to the spiritual seeing the
luminaries darkened and finding their light in Yahuah alone
Isa
60:19 “No longer is the sun your light by day, nor does the moon give light to
you for brightness, but יהוה shall
be to you an everlasting light, and your Elohim your comeliness.
Isa 60:20 “No longer does your sun go down, nor your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
Isa 60:21 “And your people, all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of My planting, a work of My hands, to be adorned.
Isa 60:20 “No longer does your sun go down, nor your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
Isa 60:21 “And your people, all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of My planting, a work of My hands, to be adorned.
Mat
24:29 “And immediately after the distress of those days the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from
the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
Mat 24:30 “And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem.
Mat 24:30 “And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem.
Rev
8:12 And the fourth messenger sounded, and a third of the sun was struck, and a
third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were
darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
We see
so much of apostasy as people go outside the inspired scrolls to books of
Enoch, Jubilees, Temple scrolls etc. and calculate days in their calendar
proving what they are following is true and each one is doing what is right in
their own eyes. Yahuah has sent them a strong delusion to believe the lie. They
are not able to see the sign of the sun turning black which Yahuah brought
about when Yahusha hung on the stake from the sixth hour to the ninth hour, a
complete solar eclipse never experienced before to show the apostasy that
prevailed during Yahusha's time and him be impaled on the Unleavened bread
while they thought their evening would bring in the feast of Pesach which they
would eat with the unleavened bread. Yahuah also fulfilled Torah by bringing
the morning and evening sacrifices offered daily from sunrise to sunset in the
temple making them One in Mashiyach and as prophesied at evening time there was
LIGHT, the darkness couldn't comprehend/suppress the light. The evening came
with a light also shows the fulfillment of the light of the candlestick which
had to be maintained even in the night.
Luke
23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over the whole
land until the ninth hour,
Zec
14:6 And in that day it shall be: there is no light, it is dark.
Zec 14:7 And it shall be one day which is known to יהוה, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
Zec 14:7 And it shall be one day which is known to יהוה, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
Moreover
Yahuah also fulfilled by bringing the feast of Pesach (the first feast) and the
feast of Tabernacles (last feast) together when Yahusha before undergoing the
trial entered Yerushalayim just before Pesach and the people brought branches
of palm trees and laid them on the ground and cried 'Baruk haba bashem Yahuah'.
Yahuah shows us spiritually a transition from the physical to the spiritual
making everything One in Mashiyach.
Col
2:16 Let no one therefore judge you in food, or drink, or in respect of a
festival or Rashey Chadashim (new months) or Shabbats
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of the Mashiyach.
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of the Mashiyach.
We are
called to go beyond the veil of Yahusha's flesh to enter into the most set
apart place and all feasts, Shabbats, New months, food and drinks stand as
shadows of things to come.
Heb
10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the
blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Finally
let's revisit Proverbs 7:19 “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a
long journey;
Pro 7:20 “He took a bundle/tsrar H6872 of silver/kasap H3701 with him; He comes home on the day of the full moon/kasah H3677.”
Pro 7:20 “He took a bundle/tsrar H6872 of silver/kasap H3701 with him; He comes home on the day of the full moon/kasah H3677.”
The
root word 'kas' is in 'kasap/silver' as well as in 'kasah/full moon', the word
'kas' means 'cup/cover/seat’.
'kasah'
H3677 means 'full moon' and H3678 'kasah' means 'throne'
'kasap' H3701 means 'silver' and H3700 same word means 'desire/longing'
'kasap' H3701 means 'silver' and H3700 same word means 'desire/longing'
She says her husband is gone on a long journey and has taken a bundle of a covering/kas, desire/kasap, he will return on the day of the throne or rule/kasah. The full moon stood as sign of the feast day of Yahuah (Psalms 81:3) as a light shining in a dark place (2 Peter 1:19) a shadow pointing to the Day star i.e. Mashiyach who would bring in the EVERLASTING LIGHT.
The Jews observe the crescent moon also called the silver moon for all their feasts, it is also a sign to them that he has taken all their silver moons in a bundle and will return to judge them at the full moon for their harlotry and the full moon/kasah also means 'Throne/Taking seat'
So,
what do we do who are in Mashiyach on Yahuah’s appointed days?
Firstly,
we must identify that Yahuah’s feasts are spring feasts and fall feasts
Pesach,
Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Shavuot are the spring feasts and Yom Teruah,
Yom Kippur & Sukkoth are the fall feasts.
How do
we observe the feasts?
The
spring vernal equinox comes on March 20th or 21st every
year, this is the time when the sun comes closest to the equator and the first
new moon from the spring equinox is the first day of the month Abib which is
the first month in Yahuah’s timeline. Counting 14 days from Day 1 (New moon) is
the feast of Pesach which is an evening to evening night watch feast. The 15th
day early morning is the feast of Unleavened bread (7 days feast) and on this
day the moon is kasha/full moon and is a high Shabbat. Three days from Pesach
is the feast of first fruits. The 14th day to the 21st
day of the month of Abib is the feast of Unleavened bread which begins and ends
with a high Shabbat. The regular Shabbat which falls on the 7th day
of the week during the feast of Unleavened bread, count from here 7 Shabbaths
we arrive at Shavout/Pentecost. Yahuah literally fulfilled these feasts in its
perfect timing when Yahusha died and rose again and when the Ruach came on the
day of Shavout.
The
fall feasts have yet to be literally fulfilled and we look towards the events
that will take place until the coming of Mashiyach.
March
20th was the spring vernal equinox this year with the new
moon/chadash on March 24th night…counting 14 days from morning of
Mar 25th we come to 7th April as the Pesach and 8th
April the full moon as first day of Unleavened Bread. But the Jews celebrate
the Pesach and the Unleavened bread on the 15th day of the first
month which is the 8th of April’20. That’s how we see that Yahusha
with his disciples had celebrated the Pesach a day before than they did. Once
we have identified the spring equinox and the first new moon its then easy to
calculate the feast days. No need of complex calendars to add and subtract
days. The new moon closest to the equinox is the first day of the month.
Autumn
equinox this year is on Sept 22nd and the new moon closest to the
equinox is the 17th of Sept’20 and hence, 18th Sept is
Yom Teruah (feast of trumpets), counting 10 days from here is 27th
Sept’20 which is Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and the 15th day from
18th Sept’20 is 2nd Oct which is a full moon and the
feast of Sukkoth (Feast of Tabernacles)
Thus,
we see the sun and the moon are the faithful witness Yahuah made for His
appointed times and point out to Mashiyach the TRUE LIGHT and hence we transition
into Him while the lights are darkened due to the prince of the power of the
air using men to darken the muaedim where the elect transition into the Ruach
where they remain scattered for a time/muaed, times/muaedim and katsay/half a
time . While we are in this tent and though away from New Yerushalayim we
observe these feasts in praise, worship & prayer and breaking of bread and
partaking of the fruit of the wine, remembering (zakar) Yahusha’s death and his
resurrection and his coming to take us to be with Him. Here is the significance
of each feast finding its fulfillment and transitioned in Mashiyach:
1. Pesach -death of the Lamb
2. Unleavened bread- we become unleavened in Him (1 Corin 5:7-8)
3. Firstfruits- Resurrection of Yahusha (1Corn 15:20)
4. Shavout- Being filled with his Ruach and we are being offered as
the firstfruits in Him (James 1:18)
5. Yom Teruah- The announcement of His coming (Matt 25;6)
6. Yom Kippur- Ephraim (double ash Heap) representing the firstborn
son (Yasharal) coming back into the tent through the ashes of the red heifer
(Adam Parah) who is Mashiyach (Jer 31:9)
7. Sukkoth – Yahuah tabernacled with Yasharal -Marriage supper of
the Lamb. Great rejoicing in the camp (Rev 19:9)
We
don’t follow any calendar by adding or subtracting dates, we follow the lights
Yahuah gave as a witness of the gates of heaven to be opened spiritually during
these times as these are His appointed times.
