I fear many in the Messianic movement are teetering upon making Jewish traditions equal to what the historic Church calls Sacraments. The benefit they attach to them are quite similar. That is a major reason why it concerns me the distortions, and exaggerations being made concerning Catholicism and what religious practice is, and religious practice of Moses law. People cannot examine themselves in these things if these ideas are distorted.
A person walks in Passover until he can walk in Shavuot, and the goal is to walk in the feast of Tabernacles so that when the fire comes, you will be covered.
Believe it or Not, there are two comings of Jesus.
Hosea 6
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Jesus came to us for the spring rain and he promises to return for the fall rain.
The spring rain is the season of Passover, and the fall rain is the season of Sukkot.
The way he came to us in the spring is the same way he comes to us for the fall, only it will be on a much grander scale.
But we have no need to fear because we know the comings and goings of our Lord and we watch for him on the days that he promises to visit us.
Jesus was all the sacrifices, Passover, Pentecost, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, but that is just sacrifices, and not promises.
Jesus was the sacrifice of Pentecost on Nissan 14 for Passover, but the promise and reward of Pentecost didn't come for 50 days, and that was said to pass away, thus a need for another pouring of rain.
And so we are instructed to pray for the rain for the Pentecost of the fall.
Obviously the marriage ceremony has not taken place, and Jerusalem has not been searched by candlelight, the grape harvest comes, and when it does come, the trampling of the grapes causes a wide river 4 feet deep which will flow 200 miles.
We are to warn everyone to watch the appointed visitation days, and instruct them how to prepare for the coming of the Lord, but how can this be done if things are p[[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] away, and how can the Simchat Torah cycle be taught if people don't want to learn it?
When Jesus stood in the Temple saying,'' It has fallen to me.''
He was following the Torah cycle invented by the Rabbis, and certain prayers are spoken on exact days and Jesus went to fulfill his part of that Torah cycle, besides this, there is no place for a gentile on Simchat Torah, and until the gentile realizes the truth of this, he has no hope of attending Simchat Torah.
Rosh Hashanah is swiftly coming and the bride who does not prepare will not enter into the chamber, so how does the bride prepare?
We are sternly warned to watch, and if we do not watch as instructed, Jesus will come to us like a thief breaking into a house and the waters of men will stand on end while the prepared watch.
If we do not watch the times and the seasons, we will be taken by surprise because Jesus tells us that if we do not watch, he will come to us like a thief in the night.
The book of Revelation is all about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Have you warned your friends about these things Annier?
Do you know what is going to happen on Rosh Hashanah?
The book of Revelation details Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur being fulfilled as well as Sukkot.
We are shown 3 views of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur taking place in the seals, in the trumpets and in the bowls, and these 3 things are about us personally.
I will give you an example of Rosh Hashanah in Revelation.
Not only do we find Rosh Hashanah in the 7th trumpet, we also find them in the 7th seal, and the 7th bowl.
The Seventh Trumpet
15Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever." 16And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,…
FACT~ The Kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord on Rosh Hashanah.
Is this a fact?
How can we easily prove that the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord on Rosh Hashanah?
And if this is a fact{It is}, then what should we be doing when Rosh Hashanah comes each year?
The Torah cycle is very specific, and being that Jesus followed this Torah cycle and that the disciples followed the Torah cycle, it means that the prayers spoken on the Torah cycle have particular days that are appointed for the fulfillment of prophecy on the day and correct year they are spoken.
Jesus quoted Isaiah saying,'' It has fallen to me, AND
In your hearing this is fulfilled
The more people we instruct to watch, the more we save.
They don't have to watch, and in truth, they can speak against the laws of Moses and STILL go to heaven, albeit ''The least in the kingdom.''
But why should so many people miss out?
How hard is it to just watch and pray when we are instructed to watch?
It's not like we have to get on a plane and fly to Jerusalem, now we can just watch and have expectant hope in the promise that those WHO DO WATCH, will not be taken as if Jesus has come and split your waters in two because you did not know the visitation days of your Lord.
You don't watch what you are doing on Rosh Hashanah, you are a bride and you don't know the days of the comings and goings of your husband??
Hannibal can guarantee you that if it is this year, your waters will be split in two as a man who is cut in half dividing soul and spirit.
But how hard is it to watch and say the prayers that are to be said?
How hard is it?
Moses came and warned them saying,'' The Lord will come to you on the third day, see that you do not sleep with your wives, and when the Lord came, it terrified the people, even his voice could be seen, and the entire world heard it.
The people said, '' Do not let the Lord speak to us again.''
So the Lord felt sorry for them, and when he chose to speak to them again, he chose to speak through the disciples who were counting the omer right up unto the promise.
To those who followed God, and who believed in Jesus, and who were doing what they were instructed to do,
To them he came and warned THEM.
Hannibal can guarantee you that God is yet again coming, and the promise will yet again be realized, and the warning will yet again be given to those who follow instruction.
But Somebody has come and taken away the knowledge of the times and seasons, he has deceived the many so that they will not know the days of their visitation.
At what point do we begin teaching people of the second coming of Christ?
At what point are we to teach people what they are instructed to do so that they will receive the warning and not be taken as if Jesus comes to break in your house?
It would be a great kindness to warn people of the impending day of the coming of the Lord and to instruct people not to be caught by surprise.
A person who warns and instructs people to return to Jesus in these things will cover the multitude of sins having saved that person from certain destruction.
