The Appointed Times of YHVH—the Festival of the First-fruits and the Messiah

Posted by on Apr 4, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

The First-fruits is considered a purely agricultural holiday under the shadow of Passover and is virtually unknown. However, by His obedience to His Father’s will to take our punishment on the cross and with His resurrection, Yeshua made the First-fruits the greatest of all appointed times of YHVH. Without the fulfillment of the First-fruits as a day of the resurrection of the Lamb of YHVH, the Pesach, all other appointed times make little sense and our faith has no...

The Appointed Times of YHVH—the Festival of the First-fruits

Posted by on Mar 29, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

In Rabbinical Judaism the Festival of the First-fruits (HaBikkurim) is considered a purely agricultural holiday, in the Messianic movement this day goes almost unnoticeable under the shadow of the Passover, and in the Christianity it is simply unknown. And the reason being is that this forgotten festival is seen as a festival within the Festival of the Unleavened Bread (Chag Matzot), and sadly it has become “too little” to notice. However, the appointed time of...

The Appointed Times of YHVH—the Festival of the Unleavened Bread and the Messiah

Posted by on Mar 23, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

The Lamb of YHVH and the unleavened bread are not to be forgotten, but to serve as a reminder from generation to generation of what YHVH did for us in Egypt. And if the Festival of the Unleavened Bread is to be remembered throughout the generations, Yeshua the Messiah is also to be remembered as the Lamb of YHVH. This article is a continuation of the articles regarding the Festival of Unleavened Bread Part I and Part II, and will focus on how Yeshua the Messiah fulfilled...

The Appointed Times of YHVH–the Festival of the Unleavened Bread Part II

Posted by on Mar 15, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

Should we sacrifice lamb today and eat it for the Festival of the Unleavened Bread (Chag Matzot)? Actually, these are two separate questions which we will answer in this article. But let us recall from Part I of this series that Pesach (Passover) is not a name of feast, nor is it a name of day. Pesach is not a feast at all, but the Passover lamb for the feast of the Unleavened Bread observed for seven days: from the fifteenth until the twenty-first day of the first month of...

The Appointed Times of YHVH–the Festival of the Unleavened Bread Part I

Posted by on Mar 12, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

In the Rabbinical Judaism the Passover and the Festival of the Unleavened Bread (Chag Matzot) seem to be fused into one feast. We need to clarify that according to the Torah, the actual Appointed Time is the Feast of Unleavened Bread, while “the Passover” is not part of it; Passover is the sacrificial lamb for the feast. In the article Introduction to the Appointed Times of YHVH we discussed the festive seasons and the days which YHVH called מוֹעֲדִים...

Do Not Sell Wisdom, Instruction, and Understanding!

Posted by on Mar 4, 2017 in The Messiah

The words “Do not sell wisdom, instruction, and understanding” belong to the richest and wisest man ever born. Yet, he says when you obtain the truth (wisdom) from the Scripture, do not sell it for money. In this article we will study what his descendant Yeshua the Messiah says concerning this controversial topic of selling wisdom, instruction, and understanding. In Mat 10:8 he says: “Freely you have received, freely you give”. Obtain truth and do...

This is My Name Forever!

The Creator of the universe says about His Name Yehovah: “This is My Name forever!” And Elohim said to Mosheh, “I exist who I exist.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I exist’ has sent me to you.’ And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Israel, ‘Yehovah Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Avraham, the Elohim of Yitschak, and the Elohim of Ya’akov, has sent...

The Appointed Times of YHVH—the Shabbat and the Messiah

Posted by on Mar 2, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

Shabbat was the first appointed time set by YHVH from the very beginning of His creation. Here we will discuss the Shabbat and the Messiah, or how Yeshua the Messiah fulfills the Shabbat day and the role He plays in the Redemption Plan of YHVH. Also we will discuss what the Rabbinical literature says about the Messiah, and also how the Messiah’s mission has been encoded in the names of the first ten generation in the Book of Genesis. Shabbat: the first appointed time...

The Appointed Times of YHVH—The Shabbat Part II

Posted by on Feb 25, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

In Rabbinical Judaism, “Do not kindle a fire on Shabbat” is seen as a “concept” which is understood as do not kindle any fire on Shabbat. This verse is seen not just as a Torah command but as a concept which forbids lighting even a candle on the Shabbat. Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Shabbat day. (Exo 35:3) This “concept” teaches that the fire can be kindled before the Shabbat and the fire can burn during the...

The Appointed Times of YHVH—The Shabbat Part I

Posted by on Feb 19, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

The appointed time Shabbat is universal and immemorial in its observance. It tells of the eternal Shabbat-keeping which remains for the people of God, as Apostle Shaul (Paul) has rightly said it in Hebrews. When we keep the Shabbat (Sabbath), the whole world knows who our God is and thus we know we have the sign the Creator has given us to keep: the Shabbat. In the article Introduction to the Appointed Times of YHVH we discussed the festive seasons and days which YHVH...

Introduction to the Appointed Times of YHVH

Posted by on Feb 12, 2017 in The Appointed Times of YHVH

There are seventy set-apart appointed times of YHVH (holy days) in the Biblical year. There is no other calendar with so many festive days. Leviticus 23 contains a calendar of the appointed times or meetings concerning the festive times of Israel. These holy days are not “Jewish,” these holy days belong to the Creator. However, time is coming when every day will be festive: the days of the seventh millennium, the Shabbat millennium, when the Kingdom of YHVH will...

Posted by on Feb 9, 2017 in Prophecy Insight

In this article the author is challenging the idea that the Babylon in Jeremiah 50 and Jeremiah 51 is not the ancient Babylon, but a modern-day country in existence today that will be filled with men, as with locusts.
