To Relive the Glory of YHVH is a continuation of the articles dedicated to Chag Sukkot, the Festival of the Booths, from the series The Appointed Times of YHVH.

Many Jews, who are still in exile, build their sukkot. But should they build them? Or only the native born in Israel are to dwell in booths on Chag Sukkot? Dwell in booths for seven days, all born in Israel shall dwell in booths, so that your generations know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yehovah your Elohim. (Lev 23:42-43) In the article The Appointed Times of YHVH—the Festival of the Booths we noted...

The baby of Yoseph and Miryam was born on the first day of the Festival of Sukkot, he was circumcised per the Torah, and the name Yehoshua was given to him on the eighth day, Yom HaShemini or Simchat Torah, the Rejoice of Torah. The Word of YHVH rejoiced as all prophecies of His coming were fulfilled in Chag Sukkot (the Festival of the Booths). This is the last article of the series The Appointed Times of YHVH and the Messiah. Every appointed time of YHVH is a footstep of...

On Yom HaShemini (Shemini Atzeret) the annual reading of the Torah ends and resumes again. For this reason, Yom HaShemini is known today also as “Simchat Torah” or “rejoice of Torah.” But is Yom HaShemini a part of the Festival of the Booths, Chag Sukkot, or a separate appointed time of YHVH? This will the subject of this article, which we will address in the following. On the eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall...

There is a widespread tradition that Yeshua the Messiah, known in the Gentile world as “Jesus Christ”, was born on December 25th celebrated today as “Christmas.” While it is not in the scope of this study to expose the influence of paganism in Christianity, and in this tradition particularly, and how the faith did not change Rome, but Rome changed the faith, it suffices to say now that the Messiah was not born in the season of the winter solstice,...

Incorrectly Sukkot is considered the last appointed time of the year in the Rabbinical tradition and is observed for eight instead of seven days. The Torah requires we build sukkot on this appointed time but says nothing about how to build the sukkah (the booth), in which we are to dwell temporarily for seven days. And are why we commanded to observe Chag Sukkot, the Festival of the Booths in the first place? Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of...

Some object whether Yeshua had fulfilled the law of the red heifer, or if he was the Lamb of YHVH, why did He die outside of the Temple and not inside where the Passover lambs were to be slaughtered? Also, they may object as to why did he die on Passover and not on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur? We will address these questions in this article. In Part I of The Appointed Times of YHVH—Day of Atonement and the Messiah, we studied that the Day of the Atonement, Yom Kippur,...

As Mosheh went twice up to the mountain to receive the tablets, so will the Messiah come twice and return on the Day of Atonement to bring a reconciliation and peace between YHVH and His creation as it was before the fall of mankind. We studied in the last article The Appointed Times of YHVH— Day of Atonement that when the children of Israel made the golden calf, they attempted to depict El in a tangible way using the symbol of an ox, which for them was the most natural way...

Ten days after the Day of the Trumpets, Yom Teruah, another appointed time of YHVH is set apart. This day is known as the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur, but more properly: Yom Kippurim. It is considered in Judaism (and rightly so) the holiest, that is the most set-apart day of the year. Why this day is given such a high status by the Rabbis, we will study in this article to which we now turn. These are the appointed times of Yehovah, set-apart gatherings which you are to...

Every appointed time of YHVH is a footstep of the Messiah that leads His people closer to Him. Every appointed time of YHVH is also a set-apart rehearsal for us. And so is the Day of Trumpets. As we walk in the footsteps of the Messiah, beginning with the sacrifice of the Pesach lamb in the spring, we rehearse all appointed times of YHVH and all events that will take place in their own time. And when there is a rehearsal, a real event is coming. If we do not see Mashiach in...

The Torah does not associate the Day of Trumpets, Yom Teruah, with any particular historic event, nor does it give any reason why this appointed time is constituted in the first place. In the Rabbinic tradition Yom Teruah is known as “Rosh HaShanah”, which literally means “head of the year” or the time of the beginning of a new year. But the truth of the matter is that the Torah makes no mentioning at all of the first day of the seventh month as being the head...

The work of the blood of the Covenant of YHVH is not truly explained in the Torah. Hence, the Festival of Weeks, Chag Shavuot, is not truly understood in its full context, either. And why was there any need for blood in the Covenant? What is the Covenant not called “Covenant of salt”? The answer to this question is coming out from the mouth of Yeshua the Messiah who is telling us that the cup of redemption, which represents the blood of the Passover lambs,...
