Lev23:2 Speak to the sons of Yisrael and say to them, the appointed times of Yahuah which you shall proclaim them as holy convocations; My appointed times/moeday, they are these:
Lev23:3 For six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day there is a Shabbat of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a Shabbat to Yahuah in all your dwellings.
Yahuah puts the weekly Shabbat as a moed/appointed time. Here is why?
1.
Weekly Shabbath (7), stated as moeday (My appointed
times in Lev 23, along with the 7 feasts stated after this in the same chapter.
2. In a 365-day calendar there were exactly 52 Sabbaths (52 x 7). These are excluding the High Sabbaths of the feasts. Adding them would be total 59 Sabbaths in an annual year.
The high Sabbaths total to 7 (2 high Sabbaths of Unleavened bread + Shavout + Feast of Trumpets + Yom Kippur + 2 Sabbaths of Sukkot). The Shavout 7 x 7 is the first count of the annual Sabbath from first fruits which falls morrow after the weekly Sabbath of Unleavened bread.
Lev 25:8 You shall count to yourself seven Shabbats of
years, seven times seven years, so that the days of the seven Shabbats of years
shall be to you forty-nine
Lev 25:9 You shall then cause the sound a horn abroad in
the seventh month; on the tenth day of month; on the day of atonement, you
shall cause a horn all through your land.
Lev25:10 You shall thus consecrate the year, the fiftieth year, and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
Post Babylonian captivity, some of the Yahudites because of the 70 years of captivity for not observing the 70 Shemitah cycles when in the land, were careful and broke down their Sabbaths to 7 x 7 + 1 = 50 days and named their 50th day as azteret. They started following the pentecontad calendar, (from πεντηκοντάς pentēkontás) which is an agricultural calendar system thought to be of Amorite origin in which the year is broken down into seven periods of fifty days (a total of 350 days), with an annual supplement of fifteen or sixteen days. In Akkadian, the pentecontad calendar was known as hamšâtum and the period of fifteen days at the end of the year was known to Babylonians as shappatum. The liturgical calendar of the Essenes at Qumran was a pentecontad calendar, marked by festivals on the last day of each fifty-day period such as the Feast of New Wine, the Feast of Oil, and the Feast of New Wheat.
Now you analyze brethren, there are so many
calendars floating today and each camp says they are following the true
calendar, some of them off the top of my head are:
1. Solar calendar
2. Lunar calendar
3. Luni solar calendar
4. Pentecontad calendar (followed by esennes in Qumran)
Pentecontad: The Dead Sea Scrolls, such as 4Q325, 4Q326, 4Q327, and 4Q394, contain a variety of calendar systems, some of which may represent a transition from the more ancient lunar phase week toward the modern fixed week. Among these various calendars can be found the fixed seven-day week, in a calendar of fifty-two weeks, which includes seven-week cycles just like the ancient lunar phase calendars. Now how they broke up the annual year into 50 x 7 is a mystery to me. For me when I see so much division in the Hebrew camps with each one stating my calendar is true is evidence as stated by the nabi Yoel that in the last days the sun will turn dark, the moon into blood and the stars will fall before the great day of Yahuah. The sign is clearly visible and understood spiritually as stated earlier that the sun, moon and stars stood figuratively for Yasharal.
If Lev 23 puts Sabbath as a moeaday (My appointed time) then it has to be in the land. Let me show you how.
Ex 13:5 It shall be when
Yahuah brings you to the land of the Kanaanite, the Chittite, the Emorite, the
Chiuite and the Yebusite, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a
land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall observe this service in
this month.
Ex 13:6 For seven days
you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast
to Yahuah.
Ex 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten the seven days; and nothing leavened shall be seen among you, nor shall any leaven be seen among you in all your borders.
There we go, it says in the land. This is further clarified as ‘the place where Yahuah your Aluahym causes His name to be called.’
Deut 12:5 But you shall seek to the place which Yahuah your El shall choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come.
Deut 16:2 You shall
sacrifice the Passover to Yahuah your El from the flock and the herd, in
the place where Yahuah chooses to establish His name there.
Deu 26:2 that you shall take some of the first of all
the produce of the ground which you bring in from your land that Yahuah your El
gives you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place where Yahuah
your Elohim chooses to establish His name.
1 Kings 14: 21 Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon
reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and
he reigned seventeen years in Yerushalayim, the city which Yahuah had chosen
from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother’s name
was Naamah the Ammonitess.
2Ki 21:4 And he built
altars in the house of Yahuah, of which Yahuah had said, In Yerushalam I
shall put My name.
2Chr 6:6 but I have chosen Yerushalam that My name to be there, and I have chosen Dawid to be over My people Yisra’El.
3 times a year it was compulsory that every male, whichever part of the world he was in had to come to Yerushalayim for the 3 pilgrim feasts 1. Unleavened bread 2. Shavout/Pentecost & 3. Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles.
Ex 23:14 Three times in a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me.
Ex 23:15 You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came from Mitsrayim. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.
Ex 23:16 And the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors which you sow in the field; And the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather your labors from the field.
Ex 23:17 Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the face of the Adon (the Master) Yahuah.
Deut 16:16 Three times in a year all your males shall appear before Yahuah your El in the place which He chooses it, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Shabbuot and at the Feast of Sukkot, and they shall not appear before Yahuah empty-handed.
Summary of what I have covered so far:
1. Sabbath is
listed with the moead/feast in Lev 23.
2.
There are so many calendars floating
with each camp saying they are right with their calendar. The evidence is there
of the sun, moon and stars darkening. New addition comment: Yahuah has
sent the lying spirit in the mouth of his nebim who are teaching lies, putting
fear of Torahlessness for not observing the feasts and Sabbaths.
3.
The moead/feast had to be in the
place where Yahuah chooses His name to be called.
4.
Yerushalayim was the place Yahuah
chose to call His name upon.
5.
3 times a year every male had to appear
before Yahuah not without a gift, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the
Feast of Shabbuot and at the Feast of Sukkot.
6. New added comment: Shaul the emissary likens the present Yerushalayim (his time Yerushalayim) with Hagar the bondwoman and her children.
Gal 4:25 For Sinay is a mountain in Arab and it corresponds to the present of Yerushalam, for she is in slavery with her children.
Which of the above commands are you following knowing that we are in dispersion i.e., not in the land?
Jam 1:1 Ya’aqob (James), a servant of Elohim and of our Adon (Master) `Yahusha the Mashiyach, ask for peace to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion.
1Pe 1:1 Petros (Kepha), an apostle of Yahusha the Mashiyach, to the inhabitants scattered throughout Pantos, Galatya, Qapodeqia, Asya, and Bithinyia,
Historical evidence of Yasharal & Yahudah’s dispersion:
Ps 137:1 By the rivers of Babel,
there we sat down and also we wept, when we remembered Tsion.
Ps 137:2 Upon the willows in the
midst of it we hung our harps.
Ps 137:3 For there our captors asked
us the words of a song, and our tormentor's mirth, saying, Sing us one of the
songs of
Ps 137:4 How can we sing the song of Yahuah in a foreign land?
Hos2:9 Therefore, I
shall return and take My grain at harvest time and My new wine in its season. I
shall take away My wool and My flax to cover her nakedness.
Hos2:10 And then I
shall uncover her shamefulness in the sight of her lovers, and a man shall no
deliver her out of My hand.
Hos2:11 I shall also put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her Chadashs (new months), and her Shabbats and all her solemn feasts/moead.
In Hoshea Yahuah says He will return to take His grain at harvest time and His new wine in its season, but will Yasharal or Yahudah be able to offer it? No, they won’t as they will be in captivity/dispersion of nations. He puts an end to all her joy, her new months, her Sabbaths and all her moead/feasts.
2Chr 36:20 And them that had escaped
from the sword he carried away to Babel; and they were servants to him and to
his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Paras,
2Chr36:21 to fulfill the word of
Yahuah by the mouth of YiremYahu, until the land had enjoyed its Shabbats. All
the days of its desolation it kept its Shabbat, to fulfill seventy years.
The 7th day Sabbath is tied to the land and the Shemitah. How does the counting of omer take place? 7 x 7 Sabbaths +1 i.e., the 50th day is Shavout/Pentecost.
Genesis records
that Yahuah had not caused it to rain on the earth and a mist went up from the
ground and watered the earth for there was no man to till the ground.
Gen 2:4 These
are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day
that יהוה Elohim made earth and
heavens.5 Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the
field had yet sprung up, for יהוה Elohim had not sent rain on the earth, and there was no
man to till the ground, 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the entire
surface of the ground.
During
Shemitah, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity,
including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden. Speaking of
Yasharal's dispersion into the nation's, Yahuah foretold them when giving them
the promised
Lev 26:33 ‘And
I shall scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you. And your
land shall be desert and your cities ruins, 34 and the land enjoy its
Sabbaths as long as it lies waste and you are in your enemies land. Then
the land would rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35 ‘As long as it lies waste it
rests, for the time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it.
The infinite Alahym made the entire creation by entering into it in 6
days & the 7th day He rested from all His works. The cycle of 7
shows that each day is reckoned as a 1000 years as stated in 2Pet3:8
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one
thing, that one day is with YAHUAH as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.
Man is finite and within the perimeter of these 7,000 years in a
Shemitah cycle of judgement and release from the judgement.
Here are some examples:
Qayin if killed
will be avenged 7 fold and Lamech 70 and 7 fold Gen 4:15,24
Ark rested in
the 7th month Gen 8:4
Noach tarried
another 7 days in the ark Gen 8:10,12
7 years of
plentiful and 7 years of famine in Mitsrayim Gen 41:2-3
Exo 1:5 All
those who came from the loins of Yaaqob including Yahusaph were 70 who entered
Mitsrayim
There are 7
high Shabbaths in the feasts
Shemitah cycle
of 7 years, 6 years ploughing and 7th to eat what grows of itself 50th
year jubilee where 7 x 7 +1 shows the release of lands, slaves etc.
Release of
Hebrew slaves every 7 years, 70 elders chosen from Yasharal Num 11:16
Sins of
ignorance required kohen to sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice 7 times before
the sanctuary
Altar and
sanctuary sanctification required kohen to sprinkle blood 7 times Lev 8:11
Lepers
cleansing also required sprinkling of blood 7 times Lev 14:7

Yasharal by Daud caused 70,000 to die due to pestilence
Days of our
life 70 years Ps 90:10

eyes, 7 horns, 7 ruachoth of Alahym Rev 5:6
In the book of Revelation there are seven assemblies, seven angels to the seven assemblies, seven seals, seven trumpet plagues, seven thunders and the seven last plagues. The first resurrection of the dead takes place at the 7th trumpet, completing salvation for the assembly 7 moeadim/feasts completed in the 7th month.
7 days make a
week and the counting of omer is in 7's i.e. 7 x 7 to Shavout
Alaysha asked
Naaman to wash in Yarden by immersing 7 times so that his flesh would be clean 2Kings 5:10

asked to march around Yericho for six days and on 7th day they were to march 7
times

7 colors and Yahuah gave it as a covenant Gen 9:12-16

appearance was as Jasper and Ruby which are the stones in the High priests
chest breastplate as the last and the first stone Exo 28:17-20
Yaaqob served 7
years for Rachel and when cheated by Laban when he gave her Leah, he served
another 7 years for her
When the
Yasharalites entered captivity, they resided in Babylon for 70 years (7 x 10,
YarmeYahu 25:8-12).
Every seven
years was supposed to be a year of rest (the year of Jubilee had other items in
addition to this).
Yasharalites
failed to observe 70 Sabbath years, hence the 70 years in captivity. Lev 25,
2Chr36:21
We find seven
pairs of each clean animal on the ark (Genesis 7:2); seven branches on the
tabernacles lampstand
(Exodus 25:37);
seven things Yahuah hates in Proverbs 6:16
Multiples of 7
also figure into scriptural narrative: the “seventy weeks” prophecy in Daniel
9:24 concerns 490 years (7 times 7 times 10).
Heb 9:22 says
almost all things according to Torah are purified by blood and without shedding
of blood there is no remission of sins
Yahuah put
everything under the Shemitah cycle of favor and judgement to transition
creation into freedom from slavery to the completeness of Mashiyach. A transition from physical Shemitah to spiritual Shemitah in Mashiyach, in the New Creation Order.
All generations
from Abraham to Mashiyach were 42 (14+14+14) (7 x 2 + 7 x 2 + 7 x 2)
generations. Yahuah told Abraham that his seed would be afflicted, Gen 15:13
Shaul emissary
says the promise was not to seeds as of many but Seed who is Mashiyach. Gal
3:16
Matt 1:17 So
all the generations from Abraham to Dawid were fourteen generations, and from
Dawid until the exile to Babel were fourteen generations, and from the exile to
Babel until the Messiah were fourteen generations.
Hos 11:1 “When
Yasharal was a child, I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.
Matt 2:15 and
remained there until the death of Herodes,to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the prophet, saying,“Out of Mitsrayim
I have called My Son.
We all fall
into the sonship inheritance being delivered from the bondage of slavery and
this was only possible when Yahusha ha Mashiyach took a finite position in
creation coming as the Son and being part of the Shemittah cycle to deliver us
from bondage of slavery.
When Yahuah
rested on the 7th day, He ceased from all His work as His work of Salvation was
finished from the foundation of this world and completed in time when He
subjected Himself to be part of creation in humility ie. By transforming Himself and journeying us in Himself as the New Creation.

Tents of Shem: Why did
Yahusha mikveh in the wilderness? (dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com)
The Sabbath and Pesach in
the wilderness:
Num 9:1 Thus Yahuah spoke
to Mosheh in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year
after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Num 9:2 Now, let the sons
of Yisra’El prepare the Passover at its appointed time.
Num 9:5 They observed the
Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the
evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Yahuah had
commanded Mosheh, so the sons of Yisra’El did.
Num 15:32 Now while the
sons of Yisra’El were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the
Shabbat day.
Num 15:33 Those who found
him gathering wood brought him to Mosheh and to Aharon and to all the congregation.
Num15:34 and they put him
in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
Num15:35 Then Yahuah said
to Mosheh, the man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall
stone him with stones outside the camp.
Num15:36 So all the
congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones,
just as Yahuah had commanded Mosheh.
Jos 5:5 For all the
people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the
wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
Jos 5:6 For the sons of
Yisra’El walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is,
the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to
the voice of Yahuah, to whom Yahuah had sworn that He would not show them the
land which Yahuah had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with
milk and honey.
Jos 5:7 Their sons whom He
raised up in their place, Yahushua circumcised them; for they were
uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them along the way.
Jos 5:8 And it came to
pass, when all the nation had finished being circumcised, they remained in
their places in the camp until they were healed.
Jos 5:9 Then Yahuah said to
Yahushua, this day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. So,
the name of that place is called Gilgal/galgal גלגל to this day.
Jos 5:10 While the sons of
Yisra’El camped at Gilgal they prepared the Passover on the evening of the
fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Yericho.
Where was Yahusha impaled? At Galgaltha. This was the place where actually the reproach of Mitsrayim/Egypt was laid off. The physical circumcision and the physical entry into Promised land shadowed the heart circumcision and entry into New Yerushalayim just as Abraham and our fathers never considered Kennan to be the promised land but looked towards the Heavenly country.
There are many who teach
that Yasharal observed the Sabbbath and the feasts in the wilderness of Sinai i.e.,
before they entered the land, hence we must observe it even though we are
outside the land.
Firstly, we must remember
the perimeter of the land & the historical setting of Yasharal before
making such assumptions. There as no Sabbath or any feasts observed in Mitsrayim/Egpyt
before the Torah came (Except for Pesach which had a lifesaving significance of all firstborn of Yasharal). The scripture doesn’t record any of the father’s before
written Torah came, observing any of the appointed times or Shabbaths in their sojourning. The
first Pesach was observed in Mitsrayim/Egypt when the actual killing of the firstborn
took place. This would be the only time (first and the last time) any Pesach would be done on foreign
soil as this was to save them from the destroyer.
These are spiritual things, and we need to discern spiritually.
The context of observing this festival literally was related to the
land: lets re-read verse 25 “And it shall be, when you come to the land which
Yahuah gives you as He promised you will guard this service.
Exo 12:25 “And it shall be, when you come to the land which
יהוה gives you, as He promised, that you shall guard this service.
Exo 12:26 “And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What
does this service mean to you?’
Exo 12:27 then you shall say, ‘It is the Pěsaḥ slaughtering of יהוה, who passed over the
houses of the children of Yisra’ěl in Mitsrayim when He smote the Mitsrites and
delivered our households.’” And the people bowed their heads and did obeisance.
Then why was there an interim Pesach in the wilderness?
There were 3 Pesach’s Yasharal observed before it became a norm for
Yasharal to guard/shamar the Pesach while in the land.
The one Yahushua
did was the third Passover in Yasharal’s history. The first two were kept under
Moses— (1) in Mitsrayim/Egypt, when Yahuah delivered them; (2) the second at Sinai, when
He had “brought them unto Himself.” (3) The third is on the other side of the
Yarden under Yahushua. Two belong to the Exodus, or going out; one to the entrance,
or coming into the land. There were no year-on-year Passover’s observed in the
wilderness for 40 years as some assume. The simple reason being when you read
Joshua 5, we see the entire nation of Yasharal who were circumcised were wiped
out in the wilderness because of their hardness of their hearts and rebellion
against Yahuah. Their children were raised up in their place which was a new
generation and were uncircumcised, and once they crossed the Yarden, Joshua had
them circumcised at the command of Yahauh and named the place Gilgal so as to
take away their reproach.
Ex 12:48 But if a stranger H1616/gar גר sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to Yahuah, let every
male be circumcised to him, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he
shall be like a native of the land. But anyone uncircumcised shall not eat
of it.
Kindly observe
the connection between the Passover and circumcision. The law in Exodus
12:48 is, “no uncircumcised person shall eat
thereof.” Hence, while they wandered in the wilderness, this uncircumcised
generation could not keep the Pesach. We need to be consistent in interpreting scripture by comparing the texts in determining the conditions of observance. Joshua 5:5 records all those who came out
of Mitsrayim were circumcised but the generation born in the wilderness were
not circumcised.
Hence, we
see only one Pesach observed at Sinai in the first month of the 2nd
year from their Exodus from Mitsrayim.
Num 9:1 Thus Yahuah spoke
to Mosheh in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year
after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Num 9:2 Now, let the sons
of Yisra’El prepare the Passover at its appointed time.
Mosheh/Masha records that
the journey from Mt Sinai/Choreb (same mountain) was just 11 days to Qadesh
Barnea by the way of Mount Seir but they wandered 40 years in the wilderness back
and forth Mount Horeb/Sinai. Out of the 40 years of wilderness journey 38 years
they were near Mt Choreb/Sinai and 2 years they crossed the Yarden to be in the
land of Moab which was part of the promised land. Now this Moab was allotted to
the Reubenites. Here is the proof. Kindly read the scriptures.
Nu
21:26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had
fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand,
even unto Arnon.
Ruth
was a Reubenite by birth, Moabitess by geographical location, married to
Machlon who died and left her childless, she was now an Ephrathite having
married Machlon and being a widow and without any inheritance as her in laws
had sold everything and moved to sojourn in the land of Moab where Naomi lost
her husband and her two sons.
Jos 13:8 With them the other half tribe
the Re’uḇĕnites and the Gaḏites received their inheritance, which Mosheh had given them, beyond the
Yardĕn eastward, as Mosheh the servant of יהוה had
given them:
Jos 13:9 from Aroʽĕr which is on the bank of the wadi Arnon, and the city that is in the
middle of the wadi, and all the plain of Mĕyḏeḇa as far as Diḇon;
Jos 13:10 and all the cities of Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, who reigned in Ḥeshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon;
Num 32:37 And the children of Re’uḇĕn built Ḥeshbon and Elʽalĕh and Qiryathayim,
Rut 1:1 Now it came about in the days when the judges governed, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beyth lechem in Yahudah went to sojourn in the field of Moab, he, and his wife and his two sons.
Deut 1:1 These are the words which Mosheh
spoke to all Yisra’El across the Yarden in the wilderness, in the Arabah
opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Chazeroth and Dizahab.
Deut 1:2 It is eleven days journey
from Choreb by the way of Mount Seir to Qadesh-Barnea.
Deut 1:3 And it came
to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month on the first day
of the month, Mosheh spoke to the sons of Yisra’El, according to all that Yahuah
had commanded him concerning them.
Deut 1:4 after he
had defeated Sichon the king of the Emorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og
the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei.
Deut 1:5 Across
the Yarden in the land of Moab, Mosheh undertook to expound this law, saying,
Deut 2:14 Now the days
in which we came from Qadesh-barnea until that we crossed over the brook
Zared was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war
perished from within the camp, as Yahuah had sworn to them.
Deut 2:15 And the hand of Yahuah
was also against them, to destroy them from within the camp until they were
consumed.
Mt Choreb/Sinai was within
the perimeter of the promised land and that’s why Stephen calls Yasharal as
assembly in the wilderness.
Acts 7:38 “This is he who
was in the assembly in the wilderness with the messenger who spoke to him on
Mount Sinay, and with our fathers, who received the living words to give to
us,”
Shaul the emissary also
likens this to the present unbelieving & uncircumcised in heart Yerushalayim
(of his time) as Hagar in slavery with her children. Like Stephen he puts Mt
Sinai within the promised land perspective as well.
Gal 4:25 For this Hagar is
Mt Sinay in Arab and it corresponds to the present of Yerushalam, for she is in
slavery with her children.
The name Hagar הגר : The name Hagar means ‘flight/the stranger. Remember we saw the word stranger H1616/gar גר in Exo 12:48. And Hagar was an Egyptian.
Ex 12:48 But if a stranger H1616/gar גר sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to Yahuah, let every male be circumcised to him, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But anyone uncircumcised shall not eat of it.
The Tabernacle in the
wilderness:
We also need to understand
that there was no Sabbath or feast until the Tabernacle of Witness was set up. And a literal command to build a physical Tabernacle with all its elements were all part of the Torah of sin and death for Yahuah said explicitly that he doesn’t dwell in Tabernacles made by man. His original plan and always was to pitch His Tent with us, to dwell within us just as Shaul says we are temple of the Ruach Ha Qodesh.
Acts 7:44 The tabernacle
of witness was with our fathers in the wilderness, as He commanded who
spoke with Moshe in which he make it according to the pattern which he had
seen,
Acts 7:45 which also our
fathers having received it in turn, also brought with Yahushua (Joshua) with
them into the land possessed by the gentiles whom Elohim drove out them before
the presence of our fathers, unto the days of Dawid.
Acts 7:46 Who (David)
found favour in the sight of Elohim, and asked that he might find a dwelling
place for the El of Yaaqob,
Acts 7:47 but Solomon built
a house for Him.
We have Numbers 9 recording
that the children of Yasharal journeyed when the cloud was lifted up from the
Taberncle whether by day or by night at the command of Yahuah.
Num 9:21 And so when the
cloud remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the
morning, they journeyed; whether by day or by night, when the cloud was lifted,
they journeyed.
Num 9:22 Whether it was two
days or a month or days that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying
above it, the sons of Yisra’El encamped and did not journey; but when it was
lifted, they did journey.
Num 9:23 At the command
of Yahuah they camped, and at the command of Yahuah they journeyed; they kept/shamaru
the charge/mishmereth משמרת of Yahuah, according
to the command of Yahuah by the hand of Mosheh.
משמרת mishmereth H4931 is from משמר H4929 which means guard/charge/keep/safeguard/custodian and also has the root word shamarשמר which also means to keep/guard.
The mishmar משמר was Yahuah, a guardian to them in the wilderness journey where the place He Himself was, and the place which falls within the perimeter of the promised land.
We also saw the word galgal
גלגל/Gilgal which means ‘wheels
rolling’ where Yahuah says He took away the reproach of Yasharal when He
commanded them to be circumcised before eating the Passover when they had crossed
over the Yarden. This same word is root word in Galgaltha which also means ‘skull’,
the place Yahusha was impaled was called ‘Galgatha’.
Eze 10:13 As for the wheels
it was cried to them in my hearing, Whirling wheel/galgal גלגל!
The cherubims were heading
in a direction and it was cried out to them to head to galgal. That’s where the
Master is. That’s where the reproach is removed.
Heb13:11 For the bodies of
beasts, whose blood were brought in the sanctuary to the atonement of sin by
the hand of the high priest, are burned outside the camp.
Heb13:12 For this, Yahusha
also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered
outside the gate.
Heb13:13 Let us
therefore go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Heb13:14 For we do not
have a lasting city here, but we seek the city which is to come.
Conclusion:
I showed evidence that the feasts and Sabbath were to be observed in
the land, the place where Yahuah would call His name on. And the place was
Yerushalayim which Shaul the emissary shows that the earthly Yerushalayim is like
a STRANGER/Hagar in bondage with her children. So, the transition has happened where
we are out of the promised land into pagan lands, and I showed evidence that we
can’t do the Sabbaths and feasts/moeadim in foreign lands and also showed you Yasharal’s
& Yahudah’s perspective when in captivity.
The uncleanliness of Yasharal
today:
We must not forget all of Yahusha's disciples were at the Pesach the night before with the Master himself, while the Yahudites had yet to kill their Pesach sacrifice on the evening of Yahusha's death.
John 19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the ereb 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 'ereb ערב' H6153 means 'evening' and also means 'meddle/mingle/barter/mix'. The Yahudites in John 18:28 wouldn't enter in the Praetorium to not defile themselves but might eat the Passover.
John 18:28 And it came to pass as early in the morning, they led Yahusha from the house of Qayapha to the house of the justice. But they did not enter there so that they would not become impure but could eat the Passover.
Shaul uses the same word in Gal 4:25 showing they didn't transition to the Ruach.
Gal 4:25 For this Hagar is Mt Sinay in EREB ערב and it corresponds to the present of Yerushalam, for she is in slavery with her children.
This is also tied to wayahiy ereb wayahiy boqer (This is what happened next evening, this is what happened next morning) and we see this phrase in Hebrew mindset shows something from the past is journeying to a future goal. The Ereb Pesach without the Jews knowing was going to be their last one for there would be a switch over in a transition by Yahusha ha Mashiyach Himself.
1Co 5:7 Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Messiah our Pěsaḥ was slaughtered for us.
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 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. Remember, Yahusha observed the Pesach the previous night with his talmidim (disciples).
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.
This is the same state of those claiming as part of Yasharal as they have
different days for Sabbaths and feast days and each camp says I am right and
you are wrong. An evidence of Yasharal’s uncleanliness and an awaiting wrath
from Yahusha for disobedience to His command “In the place where my name is
called”.
I urge all readers to carefully read and compare spiritual things with spiritual and come out of the physical Shemitah and the carnal elements tied to it to transition to the Ruach Shemitah in Yahusha ha Mashiyach who Himself stands in the transition from invisible Yahuah to being the visible Yahusha taking on a true Tent which we must pursue as the goal of the Torah. Yahuah has transformed Himself and you won’t find Him anywhere else but in the person of Yahusha. Humble yourself and have the right behaviour of a true Yahudite.
