Feast Days
FIRST MONTH
1. Passover - Type and shadow of the DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION, 14th day.
(Exo 12:1 KJV) And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, (Exo 12:2 KJV) This month shall be unto you the BEGINNING OF MONTHS: it shall be the FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR to you. (Exo 12:3 KJV) Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a LAMB, ACCORDING TO the house of their fathers, a LAMB FOR AN HOUSE: (Exo 12:4 KJV) And if the household be TOO LITTLE for the lamb, let him and HIS NEIGHBOR next unto HIS HOUSE take it according to the number of the souls; EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS EATING shall make YOUR COUNT for the lamb. (Exo 12:5 KJV) Your lamb shall be WITHOUT BLEMISH, a male of the FIRST YEAR: ye shall take it OUT FROM the SHEEP, or from the GOATS: (Exo 12:6 KJV) And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. (Exo 12:7 KJV) And they shall take of the BLOOD, and STRIKE IT on the two SIDE OF THE POSTS and on the UPPER DOOR post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. (Exo 12:8 KJV) And they shall EAT THE FLESH in that NIGHT, ROAST WITH FIRE, and UNLEAVENED BREAD; and with BITTER HERBS they shall eat it. (Exo 12:9 KJV) Eat not of it RAW, nor SODDEN at all with water, but ROAST WITH FIRE; his head with his legs, and with the PURTENANCE thereof. (Exo 12:10 KJV) And ye shall let NOTHING OF IT REMAIN until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall BURN WITH FIRE. (Exo 12:11 KJV) And thus shall ye eat it; with your LOINS GIRDED, your SHOES ON your feet, and your STAFF IN YOUR HAND; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S Passover.
To the believer Jesus (WORD) is the beginning. We presenting our bodies, as a living sacrifice, are without spot, or blemish. The first year Lamb represents the first fruits unto God. We are to share the Lamb with the whole household, and our NEIGHBOR, if possible. The sin in our life is covered with the blood of the lamb (JESUS). We must eat all of the flesh (WORD) of the Lamb, nothing of the word should be wasted. We eat the LAMB in the MIDNIGHT HOUR. We were in darkness and the Lord called us out. (Mat 25:6 KJV) And at the MIDNIGHT HOUR there was A CRY MADE, Behold, the BRIDEGROOM COMETH; go ye out to meet him. (Mat 4:16 KJV) The people which SAT IN DARKNESS saw GREAT LIGHT (LAMB); and to them which sat in the region and SHADOW OF DEATH light is sprung up. (Mark 15:33 KJV) And when the sixth hour was come, there was DARKNESS OVER THE WHOLE LAND until the ninth hour.
We as the body of Christ (THE CHURCH) will be roasted, or TRIED BY FIRE. We are not boiled in water being cooked with our own impurities. The dross is separated from the gold, and all that is left is pure gold. We are to have our loins GIRDED WITH THE TRUTH, and our FEET SHOD with the PREPARATION of the GOSPEL of PEACE. Praise God we are ready to go!
(Mat 22:37 KJV) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord THY GOD with ALL thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind. (Mat 22:38 KJV) This is the FIRST and great commandment. (Mat 22:39 KJV) And the SECOND is LIKE UNTO IT, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOR as THYSELF. (Mat 22:40 KJV) On these two commandments HANG ALL THE LAW, and the prophets. We keep the PASSOVER by sharing the LAMB (JESUS) with our NEIGHBORS. We love them unto salvation through Jesus as we do ourselves. This LAMB (JESUS CHRIST) is big enough to feed the whole world, (US) and EVERY NEIGHBOR.
2. Unleavened Bread - Type and shadow of being without sin in Christ Jesus, 15th - 21ST.
(Lev 23:6 KJV) And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD unto the LORD: SEVEN DAYS ye must EAT UNLEAVENED BREAD. (Lev 23:7 KJV) In the first day ye shall have an HOLY CONVOCATION: ye shall do no servile work therein. (Lev 23:8 KJV) But ye shall offer an OFFERING MADE BY FIRE unto the LORD SEVEN DAYS: in the seventh day is an holy CONVOCATION: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Convocation - 4744. miqra', mik-raw'; from H7121; something CALLED OUT, i.e. a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal:--assembly, CALLING, convocation, reading.
To the believer we eat the unleavened bread which is the bread of life (JESUS CHRIST). To be unleavened means to be without sin. Remember a little leaven (SIN) ruins the whole thing. Do not drink strong drink (SPIRIT OF DEVILS) or doctrines of devils. (1 Cor 5:6 KJV) Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a LITTLE LEAVEN LEAVENETH the WHOLE LUMP?
Leaven - 2220. zumoo, dzoo-mo'-o; from G2219; to CAUSE TO FERMENT: -- leaven.
3. Sheaf Of First Fruits - Type and shadow of being born again (NEW CREATURE), 18th day.
(Lev 23:10 KJV) Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall REAP THE HARVEST thereof, then ye shall bring a SHEAF OF THE FIRST FRUITS of your harvest unto the priest: (Lev 23:11 KJV) And he shall WAVE THE SHEAF before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall WAVE (OFFER) IT. (Lev 23:12 KJV) And ye shall offer that day when ye WAVE the SHEAF an HE LAMB without BLEMISH of the FIRST year for a BURNT offering unto the LORD. (Lev 23:13 KJV) And the MEAT offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering MADE BY FIRE unto the LORD for a SWEET SAVOR: and the DRINK OFFERING thereof shall be of WINE, the fourth part of an hin. (Lev 23:14 KJV) And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
THIRD MONTH
4. Pentecost - Moses Receives The Torah (Pentecost) - Celebrating God's giving of the Torah and Ten Commandments to the Jews at Mt. Sinai.
Type and shadow of the Holy Ghost being poured out under the New Covenant, 50th day. As the Passover represented death, burial, and resurrection, Pentecost was the infilling of the Holy Ghost to the apostles. The apostles were also part of the foundation of the church. Jesus was raised the third day by the spirit. Pentecost being the third month also represented the resurrection (THROUGH THE SPIRIT) of the church under the new covenant on the third day. The old covenant was done away with (PASSED AWAY, EXPIRED, WITHERED, DIED). The new covenant began with power. The COMPLETION of the one church could now be built upon the one FOUNDATION. The Saints of old were resurrected through the new covenant that took place on the day of Pentecost.
(Lev 23:15 KJV) And ye shall count unto you from the MORROW after the SABBATH, from the day that ye brought the SHEAF OF THE WAVE OFFERING of; SEVEN SABBATHS shall be COMPLETE: (Lev 23:16 KJV) Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye NUMBER FIFTY DAYS; and ye shall offer a NEW MEAT OFFERING unto the LORD. (Lev 23:17 KJV) Ye shall bring out of your HABITATIONS TWO WAVE LOAVES of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be BAKEN WITH LEAVEN; they are the FIRST FRUITS unto the LORD. (Lev 23:18 KJV) And ye shall offer with the BREAD SEVEN LAMBS without BLEMISH of the first year, and ONE YOUNG BULLOCK, and TWO RAMS: they shall be for a BURNT OFFERING unto the LORD, with their MEAT OFFERING, and their DRINK OFFERING, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto the LORD. (Lev 23:19 KJV) Then ye shall sacrifice one KID OF GOATS for a SIN OFFERING, and TWO LAMBS of the first year for a sacrifice of PEACE OFFERINGS. (Lev 23:20 KJV) And the priest shall wave them with the BREAD OF THE FIRST FRUITS for a wave offering before the LORD with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. (Lev 23:21 KJV) And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no SERVILE WORK therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Seventh Month
5. Blowing Of The Trumpets - Call to prepare for the DAY OF ATONEMENT, 1st day. Type and shadow of SOUNDING THE WORD under the ANOINTING of the Holy Ghost.
(Lev 23:24 KJV) Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the FIRST DAY of the month, shall ye have a SABBATH, a MEMORIAL of BLOWING OF THE TRUMPETS, an holy convocation. (Lev 23:25 KJV) Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
We preach Jesus Christ and him crucified remembering his death by crucifixion. We must sound with all of our might. (Mat 24:31 KJV) And he shall SEND HIS ANGELS with a GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, and they SHALL GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT from the FOUR WINDS, from ONE END OF HEAVEN TO THE OTHER. We are massager's (ANGELS, MINISTERS OF FIRE, SONS OF THUNDER) sounding the gospel to the whole world. (Mat 9:37 KJV) Then saith he unto his disciples, The HARVEST truly is PLENTEOUS, but the LABORERS are few.
Memorial - 2143. zeker, zay'-ker; or zeker, zeh'-ker, from H2142; a memento, abstr. RECOLLECTION (rarely if ever); by impl. commemoration:--memorial, MEMORY, REMEMBRANCE, scent.
6. Day Of Atonement - Type and shadow of the blood taking away all sin (KNOWN AND UNKNOWN). The blood must do the washing, not us through our righteousness.
(Lev 23:27 KJV) Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of ATONEMENT: it shall be an HOLY CONVOCATION unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. (Lev 23:28 KJV) And ye shall do no WORK in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. (Lev 23:29 KJV) For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. (Lev 23:30 KJV) And whatsoever soul it be that DOETH ANY WORK in that same day, the same SOUL WILL I DESTROY from among his people. (Lev 23:31 KJV) Ye shall do NO MANNER OF WORK: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (Lev 23:32 KJV) It shall be unto you a SABBATH OF REST, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath. We must cease from the works of the old man so that the new man may live through us.
7. Tabernacles - Type and shadow of coming into the perfection of the saints, HOLY OF HOLLIES.
(Lev 23:34 KJV) Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The FIFTEENTH DAY of this SEVENTH MONTH shall be the FEAST OF TABERNACLES for SEVEN DAYS unto the LORD. (Lev 23:35 KJV) On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. (Lev 23:36 KJV) Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the EIGHTH DAY shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. (Lev 23:37 KJV) These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: (Lev 23:38 KJV) Beside the Sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD. (Lev 23:39 KJV) Also in the FIFTEENTH DAY of the SEVENTH MONTH, when ye have gathered in the FRUIT of the LAND, ye shall keep a FEAST unto the LORD SEVEN DAYS: on the FIRST DAY shall be a SABBATH, and on the EIGHTH DAY shall be a SABBATH. (Lev 23:40 KJV) And ye shall take you on the first day the BOUGHS of GOODLY TREES, BRANCHES of PALM TREES, and the BOUGHS of THICK TREES, and WILLOWS of the BROOK; and ye SHALL REJOICE before the LORD your God SEVEN DAYS. (Lev 23:41 KJV) And ye shall keep it a FEAST unto the LORD SEVEN DAYS in the YEAR. It shall be a STATUTE FOR EVER in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. (Lev 23:42 KJV) Ye shall dwell in BOOTHS SEVEN DAYS; all that are ISRAELITES BORN shall DWELL IN BOOTHS: (Lev 23:43 KJV) That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to DWELL IN BOOTHS, when I brought them out of the LAND OF EGYPT: I am the LORD your God.
EIGHTH DAY - CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART A NEW BEGINNING.
Booth - 5521. cukkah, sook-kaw'; fem. of H5520; a hut or lair:--booth, cottage, covert, pavilion, tabernacle, tent.
I dwell in the tent, or tabernacle of God. I was brought out of the land Egypt. (Hosea 11:1 KJV) When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called MY SON OUT OF EGYPT.
I also eat at his table being Israel, the first fruits unto God. (Luke 22:30 KJV) That ye MAY EAT and DRINK AT MY TABLE in MY KINGDOM, and SIT ON THRONES JUDGING the TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL. As the church we are sitting on the throne as joint heirs with Christ. We have sit down in Christ's throne with him as he has set down in the Father's throne with him. We through the spirit have become one.
(Rev 7:4 KJV) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. (Rev 14:3 KJV) And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the HUNDRED and FORTY and FOUR THOUSAND, which WERE REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH. (Rev 14:4 KJV) These are they which were NOT DEFILED with women; for they are VIRGINS. These are they which FOLLOW THE LAMB whithersoever HE GOETH. These WERE REDEEMED FROM AMONG MEN, being the FIRST FRUITS unto God and to the Lamb. (2 Cor 11:2 KJV) For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have ESPOUSED YOU to ONE HUSBAND, that I may present you as a CHASTE VIRGIN to Christ.
HEBREW CALENDAR
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. > >>> (7.) 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. = CIVIL YEAR
The seventh month of PASSOVER now started the year over for Israel.
7. = 1.
8. = 2.
9. = 3.
10. = 4.
11. = 5.
12.= 6.
7. = COMPLETION OF THE SACRED YEAR
Passover which was the seventh month of the civil year became the beginning of months for Israel. God changed the calendar to a new beginning. The previous six months were forgotten as God gave Israel a new beginning, the foundation for Israel's experience in God. The unleavened bread, or first fruits unto God is a type and shadow of us starting our walk in Christ Jesus. Our first works are repentance, and baptism in Jesus name. If we fully repent then we have the PROMISE of the HOLY GHOST. The PROMISE of the Holy Ghost is TO ESTABLISH the NEW COVENANT (WORD) in our HEARTS. (Jer 31:31 KJV) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. (Jer 31:33 KJV) But this SHALL BE the COVENANT that I will make with the HOUSE OF ISRAEL; After those days, saith the LORD, I will PUT MY LAW IN THEIR INWARD PARTS, and WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS; and WILL BE THEIR GOD, and they SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
(Acts 2:38 KJV) Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE of you in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION OF SINS, and YE SHALL RECEIVE the GIFT of the HOLY GHOST.
It is a PROMISE that the BLOOD of Jesus Christ will make ATONEMENT for your sins, and you will receive the SPIRIT, HOLY GHOST, WORD, OR JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART. The word (HOLY GHOST) is written upon all of our hearts under the new covenant, this is THE PROMISE! This PROMISE was not given under the old covenant, but THE LAW, WORD was written on tablets of stone. (Rom 7:7 KJV) What shall we say then? IS THE LAW SIN? GOD FORBID. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the LAW (WORD): for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Everyone must go through the one door, Jesus Christ. The death of the Messiah opened the door for all to enter into the true spirit of God. Israel (THE CHURCH) under the old covenant, and Israel (THE CHURCH) under the new covenant.
There is more to follow after the Passover, no believer should stop at the beginning. Jesus is the door, and the beginning, but the old man must be crucified and brought to perfection (TABERNACLES, THE END). (Eph 4:13 KJV) Till we all COME IN THE UNITY of the FAITH, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT MAN, unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of CHRIST. (Rev 22:13 KJV) I am ALPHA and OMEGA, the BEGINNING and THE END, the FIRST and the LAST. The revelation of the GODHEAD, AND BAPTISM IN JESUS NAME IS JUST THE BEGINNING. The way that you know someone has the Holy Ghost, is by seeing the WORD MANIFESTED in POWER in their life. This means they have the POWER TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE, and BRING FORTH FRUIT. The spirit the word is in their heart written there for all men to see.
(Acts 18:8 KJV) And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, BELIEVED on the LORD with all his house; and MANY of the CORINTHIANS HEARING BELIEVED, and WERE BAPTIZED. Many Corinthians were baptized in Jesus name and many spoke in tongues. These were still on milk. It is sad, but today most Apostolic leaders, and prophets of the oneness denominations are also ON MILK. The doctrine of Jezebel the Trinity harlot is being taught by most, (THANK GOD NOT ALL). You brothers need to COME AGAINST THIS DOCTRINE and REBUKE IT with POWER (HOLY GHOST). ELIJAH came against the prophets of BAAL. We also are suppose to rebuke the prophets of BAAL in this age. (2 Tim 4:2 KJV) Preach the WORD; be INSTANT in SEASON, OUT of SEASON; REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT with all LONGSUFFERING and DOCTRINE. (1 Cor 3:2 KJV) I have FED YOU with MILK, and NOT WITH MEAT: for hitherto ye were NOT ABLE TO BEAR IT, neither YET NOW ARE YE ABLE.
(Mat 15:14 KJV) Let them alone: they be BLIND LEADERS of THE BLIND. And if the BLIND LEAD THE BLIND, BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH. Remember the WHORE'S DOCTRINE is a DEEP DITCH. (Prov 23:27 KJV) For a WHORE IS A DEEP DITCH ; and a STRANGE WOMAN is a NARROW PIT.
To many of the Jesus name people have stop at the TERM PENTECOSTAL. They are at the PASSOVER and have not left EGYPT. We must go all the way to the FEAST OF THE TABERNACLES. We must enter into HIS REST, and CEASE from our OWN WORKS.
Daniel
