Y INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE REDEMPTION'S BLUEPRINT Y It is being spread through out Christiandom that the Church has never been this way before! But, "neither has Israel," the Lord said to me. It is our final battle to victory; a fuller domain, a realm of the Spirit into the last glory where the yeast leavens our whole man, the full stature of Christ.The start of the Fall Feast of Tabernacles, for the two of us as we merge into One! The Western World and America's perspectives of Bible times and doctrines are perverted from its original Jewish setting; in which Satan has blinded our eyes so that we do not fully realize the Appointed Set-Time we are fastly approaching. He does not want to be cast out of the heavens! Especially must we, Americans and Great Britain, return to our Jewish roots relating to the second coming of the Messiah Yeshua, Jesus in understanding the establishment of His earthly kingdom. Every pulpit preaches it, but it is seldom placed in its original setting of the three in one "Feast of Tabernacles." Y By that I mean ... that at Jesus' first coming He anounced, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the 'Acceptable year of the Lord.' [Year of Jubilee]!" From Christ's first coming, fulfilling the Spring Feasts of 1) Passover, 2) Unleavened Bread and, 3) Pentacost, until His second coming to fulfill the Fall Feasts of 1) Feast of Trumpets, 2) Day of Atonement and, 3) Tabernacles proper. It is the 'Year of Jubilee.' This Today will culminate at Jesus' second coming! Luke 4:19; Hebrews 3:7 seq. very important.
Y The Jewish Festivals, are a pattern outlining the Redemption of God concluding in the Messianic Kingdom. The feast of Rosh HaShanah is the final entrance into the Messianic Kingdom. Understanding this will restore to the body of Messiah these long forgotten truths. Remember, we are in the last days of restoring the truth in reality what our Lord Jesus began to do and teach. A presentation of the fall Feast of Tabernacles, its doctrines, customs, and traditions [not ours] define the eschatology of the Coming Age! and of the World to Come!
Y The Gospels and the Epistles, were written in the language of the Festivals. This is our 'Blueprint!' The New Testament is as Jewish as the Old Testament! No wonder the Lord had Jewish saints writing it! It is a Jewish document, a fulfillment of the Old.! It is imperative that todays generation of believers return to the ancient understandings. The disciples asked Jesus,
Y 2
"Will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" It wasn't time for them to know the set [mo'ed] 'times and seasons' for this event to happen. However, we, in this twenty first century are seeing that mo'ed [set] 'time and season.' We will finalize that last glory to glory, growing brighter and brighter unto that perfect Day of Atonement and Tabernacles proper! It begins with Rosh haShanah.This calls for cleansing the temple, and the full separated walk in the Holy Spirit, storing up for ourselves the 'extra Oil.' There is no substitution, brothers and sisters!
Y The Lord said to me, "Israel had to be restored to their land in order for the 'Eschatoligical' Feast of Tabernacles to be literally fulfilled!" Just as Jesus literally fulfilled the early Spring Festivals in Israel. He must literally fulfill the Fall Festivals. Like Israel of old ... we have been 'rehearsing' the Fall Feasts until the final one in reality begins! The church is included in this Festival. Israel, to whom the promises were made, are as much a part of the Body of Christ as the Gentile believer. There is neither Jew nor Gentile in the Body of Yeshua.There is only One Sheepfold.One Great Shepherd of the sheep! See John 10; Read Paul's Ephesians again. He revealed the Mystery.
Y Paul teaches this in his letter to the Roman believers also. The Natural Olive Branches are grafted back into the Olive Tree ... the Wild Olive Branches are not raptured out ... rather they will be 'cut off' if they fall into unbelief as some of the Israelites did! How else do I understand this? Well, the book of Revelation is addressed to the 7even Churches. But it is in an Israeli surrounding, set in the enviornment of the Middle-East. We should not spiritualize everything; it weakens our faith, I believe, in 'working the works' of Jesus. All of the final OldTestament and Jesus' prophecies are about to be fulfilled with no 'longer delay.' It is the 'Appointed Time, Season [mo'ed], of the Feast of Tabernacles! Revelation is a Book of Trumpets! The 'dawning' of the 'New Year' of the Messianic Kingdom Age 'being set up' in the days of the ten kings and the Day of The Lord. It involves the whole world ... not just Jacob/Israel.
Y We find: 1) Israel is in pain waiting to be delivered. Creation itself is laboring to birth the next age. God's sons must be delivered into God's glory first, Paul tells us. 2) The twelve tribes are sealed on their foreheads, Manasseh, Joseph's son, from a 'gentile' bride takes the place of the tribe of Dan. We have the symbolic number of 144,000 from each tribe and the Tribulation saints. 3) We see the sealed Firstfruits with the Lamb standing on Mount Zion with their Father's Name in their foreheads. Heaven's counterpart, Mount Zion. 4) The 'Mystery of Iniquity,' that has already been working, has reached its full measure of sin! The tares are about to be bundled by the angelic reapers ... first. 5) Satan fights to stay in the heavens but is cast out with his angels by Michael and his angels, entering the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, who is assisted by the False Prophet.Who is in control of the Iraqi war? Can't we see and understand God's Right Hand in all this? God watches over His 'word' to perform it! Hummmm 6) Israel's two prophets with 'one mouth' and those measured at the Altar do exploits! The nations are in a rage just now! 7) Old Mother Babylon [not denominational churches] is remembered
Y 3
before God and burned by the 10 kings; ... her daughters fall! 8) Armegeddon's prophesied 'mo'ed, Appointed Time' is fulfilled! 9) The Firstfruits are resurrected and have been robed with the bright and glorious garments of Salvation, Immortality. 10) The King has been crowned and the Bride who has made herself ready is seated at His right ... to govern with her Husband. These are only a 'few' prophecies which are mentioned in the book of the Apocalyspe ... ... but not in this order fulfilled!
Y Now the End of the Age and the Coming Age overlap! That is, the Age to Come! The Lord with an Outstretched Arm must defeat His enemies in the overlapping period in setting up and establishing His Messianic Kingdom; it begins, or dawns, at the Feast of Trumpets, or in the Hebraic, Rosh HaShanah, which is the first of the three in one Feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot. Remember, that 'sundown' begins the day ... not 'sunrise.' As God said, "the evening and the morning were the first day, et cetra." So, first we have the Feast of Trumpets for nine days, second we have the Day of Atonement following on the tenth day for four days, and third we have Tabernacles proper lasting seven and one day. The assembly gathers on the first day of the fifthteenth for a holy convocation and on the eighth day for another holy convocation! The month is Tishri, October. However, for the entire month of September-Elul, the 'shofar trumpet' is blown every single day warning the Israelites of the coming judgement and the complete cleansing of themselves before the days of 'Feast of Trumpets begins! Because these Trumpets are the dawning of the Day of the Lord! It is the beginning of 'Jacob's Trouble.' Jerusalen is a burdensome Stone. And how!
Y It is called by several names: 'The Days of Awe,' 'Birth Pangs,' 'The Beginning of Sorrows,' and 'The Great Tribulation.' It lasts 7even years! It is globel. The kings of the earth are in a rage. They come to make war against the Lamb,Yahweh's Son of all things! What are they thinking? It is the 'Complete Fulfillment' of Pslam 2..The Lamb & His deliverers. That is, His Anointed sons! God has set His King on holy Mount Zion. The people and the kings of the earth are ploting a vain thing. Even today the Arab Islamic people declare they will take over the world for Allah, who is not God! "Great Britain and America will be under Islamic rule," they say boldly. "Christians will convert or be killed, and Israel will be pushed into the sea," they declare. While in Palestine Arafat raises his fist and proclaims that Jerusalem will belong to the Palestinians! It is Jihad, Jihad, Jihad! They intend to make Jerusalem another Islamic Mecca! What blasphemy! The United Nations positions itself in Iraq, whom father President Bush made the statement that the United Nations was the 'Parliament of the World! Selah, pause and think of that!
Y Satan has veiled the minds of the whole world but especially the Arab Islamic people who believe that Allah is the true God, the Creator God. How sad it is for that muslim suicide bomber who when he or she kills himself finds he or she is in the torments of hell immediately after death and never to be released except for the final 'second death' appointment! Y "But Yahweh God who sits in the heavens laughs; when the kings and their armies come down to take a spoil against God's people.The Lord shall hold them in derison. When they come down to the Valley
Y 4
of Meggedo He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure."
Y NUGGETS IN SCRIPTURE & UNDERSTANDING Y Redemption not only includes the full restoration of man ... but also the full restoration of all creation! The Lord's saints are the first to be brought into the image of God's Son ... as He is. All humanity will not be restored to a glorified, immortal body like Jesus'. Eventhough, all humanity will have eternal life not all will be blessed; some will rise to everlasting shame and torment.
Y Jacob's Trouble A prophecy for the 'End Time.' It begins with Daniel's 70th Week. The 'mo'ed' time of the final Feast of Tabernacles. It is at the Second Coming of Christ ... because it is the Day of the Lord and the 'resurrection.' "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there will be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered. Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever." Dan 12:1-3.
Y [Not A.D. 70]. "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now no, nor ever shall be, And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Please note, not just Israel is envolved in this Tribulation period. Also, this 'mo'ed' set period of time is before the Lord's second coming! "Then [at that time] if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. For false christs [messiahs] and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Please note, there is more than 'one false christ and one false prophet,' there are many working signs and wonders! But there is the 'antichrist' & 'false prophet'. [ All truth is parallel!] "See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe.[[note where He's coming from]] For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles [vultures] will be gathered together. Immediately after the trublation of those days the sun will be darkned, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven will be shaken. [not Satan's angels] Then the sign of the Son of Man will 'appear' [please note where the appearing is] in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see [TV?] the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Y 5
And He will send His angels with the sound of a great trumpet [the Great Shofar Trumpet sounds on the Day of Atonement, being the 10th day ... after the 9 days of Feast of Trumpets], and they will gather together His elect from the four winds [universally], from one end of heaven to the other." Mt 24:15-31; See the parables of Mt 13. Please note: The elect saints are not just His elect located in the Land of Israel! The 'Day of Atonement' is called by the Jews 'The Day of Redemption' or 'Yom Kippur,' also called 'Yom HaPeduth'. Yom Kippur is the Highest and Holiest Day of the year. The apostle Paul tells us "We are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the 'Day of Redemption." Paul also speaks of "Our being gathered together unto Him." He too, tells us of "The last Trumpet sound of the archamgel." And again the angels said, "Why stand you here gazing into heaven," as the disciples watched Jesus being taken up and a cloud received Him, "This same Jesus will so come [again] in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven." Acts 1:9-11; Eph 4:30; 1 Thess 4:13-17; Dan 12:1 seq. [those who have fallen asleep in the dust awke]; 1 Co 15:23, 50-52. The disciples, using O.T. as well as N.T. scriptures, all speak of the same event.
Y A CALL TO REPENTANCE BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD! The world has come to the time of Elul-September before the Feast of Trumpets. In Elul, remember, the trumpet is blown every morning for the full month ... a call for the world to wake up and come to the LORD. This is the time to accept Jesus as Savior and for the saints to confess their sins and repent, don't harden your hearts "Gather yourselves together, yes, gather, together, O undesirable [shamless] nation, Before the decree is issued, Or the day passes like chaff, Before the Lord's fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the Lord's anger comes upon you! Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the Lord's anger." Zeph 2:1-3. Please note: From 2:4-3:7 there is judgement against the nations and Jerusalem's wickedness. His purpose is to gather the nations and pour out His indignation. Ahhhh but, He has a "Faithful Remnant!" Zeph 3:8 seq.
Y SheepShed Sent
Y SheepShed Y ROSH haSHANAH & Y THE SCROLL OF THE APOCALYPSE "The Feast of Tabernacles"
Lesson Two Part Three [Kingdon cont'd.]
Y ROSH HASHANAH THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS The Seven Festivals of Israel were celebrated in two different seasons. They were the two agricultural seasons of the spring and the fall. Both of the harvest seasons depended upon the precious rain! The Israelites called it the 'former' rain [spring] and the 'latter' rain [fall].
The Seven Feasts of Israel were 'types' and 'shadows' of spiritual realities of things to come . . . being fulfilled in the Messiah Yeshua, who was the Reality. His Mystical Body [the Church] must also fulfill the Realities of these Seven Feasts. This Mystical Spiritual Body of His is also known as 'His House'. . . where He dwells by the Holy Spirit. It is a House of Prayer consisting of all different nations, languages, tribes and peoples. These being Jew and Gentile, male and female of all nations! The Messiah Yeshua, is the Head of His body, His house of prayer or His temple. The Messiah performs His role in two different comings or appearances on earth. The first coming fulfilled Messiah ben [son of] Joseph. Isa 11:1-4a,5; 61:1-2a,3. We are to see and understand in the Feasts of Israel that they are divided into His first Coming, the Spring Feasts, and then His second coming will be the Fall Feasts. Therefore, Rosh haShanah, the Feast of Trumpets, begins the Fall Feasts and is the dawning of the Day of the Lord. Rev 8-11. It is the Feastival of Messiah ben David's kingship, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.
The Body of Christ has kept the four spring feasts of the early Rain. 1) Pesach, Passover; 2) Hag ha Matzah, Unleavened Bread; 3) B'Yom Haneefchem Et Ha Omer, 'The Day You Bring in the Sheaf of Wave Offering,' Firstfruits; and 4) Shavuot, Pentecost. Feast of Weeks No one individual can skip any of the four feasts if he/she desires to go on with God. The Feasts are Yahweh's blueprint for 'Times and Seasons.' We are now in the 'Times and Seasons' for the fulfillment of 1) Rosh haShanah, Feast of Trumpets; 2) Day of Atonement; and 3) Feast of Tabernacles, which are the final three in one fall feasts of the 'latter rain.' We MUST have the 'early & latter rains,' the double witness, in order to reap the final Harvest! The signs & wonders are given to the laborers! Look, the fields are white unto harvest; the Spirit is being
Y 2
poured out on His sons and daughters . . . but the 'laborers' are few, they have always been few! So House of Prayer, pray to the Lord of the "Fall Harvest" for the gifted laborers to be SENT into the Fields of Harvest "Even as the Father had SENT You . . . Send, Lord, even me." lk 10; Jn 20:21.
Y THE TRIBULATIONS I believe that there are two Tribulations; 1) the Great Tribulation against the saints by the 'Man of Sin' or the 'Anti-Christ Beast.' Of course, true people of God have always been persecuted by this anti-christ spirit . . . as Noah was with the evil minded ones in his day. Joh chadnezer. Jesus' Kingdom is the Stone that hit the feet of iron and clay bringing down all the Gentile kingdoms in the
