DOUBLE BLESSINGS ALL THE WAY!

Things in the Middle East are getting tenser as we speak and with Iran attacking Israel, we as watchman know that it is part of Biblical Prophecies that are unfolding right in front of our eyes as America siding with Israel. Remember we cannot pray against Yahweh’s Biblical Prophecies, but we can be revived, repented, restored and ready for the arrival of the Bridegroom and help others also to go through The Door with Yahshua when He arrives. 

Let’s take a look at the final 3 Biblical Feasts ahead of us in the 7th Biblical Month. What I discovered was just extraordinary and it is the supernatural move of excellence of the Almighty Yahweh we serve. It is only Him that can bring together 4 back-to-back Sabbaths combining His last 3 feasts of the Biblical year 5994. It is certainly the FINAL COUNT DOWN!

FEAST 5: YOM T’RUAH / FEASTS OF TRUMPETS

I know there are many different calendars “out there” but as Endtime Watchman we need to look what Yahweh said in His “Instruction Books” to decern the truth and not follow pagan or Judaism traditions. Just to be clear about this topic again: We are not celebrating a NEW YEAR as the pagan and Judaism are celebrating during Yom T’ruah. This Feast marks the SEVENTH Biblical month so how can it be a New Year? To learn more Biblical Truth about this, please read my Blog post on this link: https://mattaniahministries.co.za/2024/09/23/yom-truah-is-not-rosh-hashanah/

WHAT IS YAHWEH’S INSTRUCTOINS AND WHERE CAN WE FIND THEM?

The word “Torah” in Hebrew is derived from the root word ירה, which in the hif’il conjugation means ‘to guide’ or ‘to teach’. The meaning of TORAH is therefore “teaching“, “doctrine”, or “instruction“; the commonly accepted “law” gives a wrong impression. The Torah is therefore Yahweh’s Instruction Manual that does not change and is applicable even today. 

We find the “Torah / Instructions of Yahweh” in the first 5 books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) and the Torah applies till today, as I said, to all believers in Yahweh and not ONLY for the Jews. Look at these New Testament Scriptures proving it: “Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is the breaking of the Torah” (1 John 3:4) – “Do we nullify the Torah by faith? Far be it. On the contrary, we ESTABLISHED the Torah!” (Romans 3:31) 

The Torah sanctifies a believer after he is justified and teaches him right from wrong, that means OBEDIENCE IS THE EVIDENCE OF ONE’S FAITH. In that light, we need to also follow Yahweh’s instructions in obedience to observe the Holy Day also.

ON WHAT DATE DID YAHWEH GAVE INSTRUCTION FOR US TO CELEBRATE YOM T’RUAH?

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the SEVENTH month, on the FIRST of the month, a Holy Day Sabbath shall be to you, a memorial acclamation of the resounding of trumpets, a holy gathering.” (Lev 23:24)

LET’S STICK TO YAHWEH’S INSTRUCTIONS

“He made the moon for seasons; the sun knows it’s going down.” (Ps 104:19)

The Hebrew word for season here is “moedim” and is the word for “Holy Day”. The moon also rules the month as the month starts by the new moon conjunction and the day is ruled by the sun. When the sun is down (absence of the sun) the day begins. In like manner at the dark of the moon, the month begins. 

YOM T’RAUH IS ONLY CELEBRATED ON ONE DAY

Now that we read the instruction in Leviticus 23:24 we can see there in verse 24, Yahweh says it will be on in the 7th month on the first DAY of the month, a Holy DAY – not dayS. So, let’s stick to Yahweh’s Instruction Manual and be awake, informed and wise not to fall into Judaism or other pagan, man-made rules. Yom T’rauh is celebrated only on ONE DAY.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN IS THE 1ST DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH?

We look for the New Moon. What is a new moon according to Scripture? Everything that our Heavenly Father does has judicial order. Judicial order is the order that Yahweh set out at creation of how things work, such as gravity. Yahweh’s judicial order sets precedent for our lives and how we are to worship Him. So, when looking at what constitutes a new moon according to Scripture, we will look at the precedents that He has set, since He does not change (Mal 3:6).

“Now faith is the substance of things being hoped, the evidence of things not having been seen”. (Heb 11:1)

So here we see the precedent laid out at creation is that the things created did not come into being out of things that already appeared. The same way that the world started in darkness (Gen 1:2-3), and the day starts in darkness, and even life in the womb starts in darkness, the precedent set is that the month starts at conjunction (in darkness), the exact time each month that the earth, the moon and the sun are lined up in perfect order. It is like when your watch is at exactly 12:00 o’clock and resetting, when the moon and earth and sun totally line up at that one moment each 29 ½ days at conjunction, which is the beginning of the new month. 

YAHWEH IS PERFECT AND SYMMETRICAL

The day starts when the sun disappears over the horizon and is not visible any longer. The month starts at conjunction when the last waning crescent has disappeared and now the moon is in perfect alignment (conjunction) with the sun and earth, and the year begins when the sun passes the equator and now is back into the first heavenly constellation of the year.

The sun, moon and stars are a clock in the sky. When you see a quarter moon the month is ¼ over. When you see a full moon, the month is half over. When you see a waning ¼ of a moon left, the month is ¾ over, and when the again in conjunction it is resetting the new month. If someone was starting the new month by visually sighting a crescent moon, then when you see a quarter moon it would not be ¼ of the month over, when you see a full moon, it would not be ½ of the month over. It would throw off the symmetrical sighting of the whole moon cycle.

Also if we look at Genesis 1:14 “And Elohim said, Let light sources be in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs and for (Holy day) seasons, and for days and years.” So, we see again the precedent set out by Yahweh is that the luminary bodies (Sun, Moon, and stars) would be the dividing factor on calculating time.

Since the Sun is the greater light it would rule the day, and the moon being the lesser light would rule the month, and a combination of the sun and stars and their yearly rotation and cycle would rule the year. This is how the Holy Days would be counted. Also notice there is nothing stated here about barley in the above verse. 

Psalm 104:19 “He made the moon for seasons (mo’edim); the sun knows it’s going down.” Notice that the sun knows it’s going down. As mentioned, it is the absence of the sun that starts the day as it is the absence of the moon that starts the month. 

COVERED MOON

“Blow the ram’s horn in the new moon, at the covered moon, on our feast day.” (Psalm 81:3)

This scripture, which was originally written in Hebrew, has always been known to refer to the Feast of Trumpets or in Hebrew Yom Teruah. So, if the first day of the 7th month is a new moon and it is “covered” or “concealed” as the scripture states, then it can only be referring to the conjunction and not sighting a crescent.

The word for “covered moon” is “keseh” and in Hebrew means to be fully covered, or concealed, which again can only refer to the conjunction of the moon. Actually, Yahweh simply tells us in Scripture what the markers are for the time He created (Gen 1:14) and man was simply meant to watch for those markers and see the heavenly signs for the start of the day, month, and year. 

WHEN IS THE MOON COVERED FOR YOM T’RAUH?

The moon phases for Jerusalem shows that the New Moon is at 21h49 on October 2nd. (See attached) That means, the sunset was before the conjunction and the New Month can only start AFTER the conjunction as we learned in the above teaching. In other words, the New Month can only start AFTER the New Moon and then the First Day of the Seventh month can only start at the NEXT SUNSET AFTER the New Moon. That will be on the Gregorian Calendar at sunset Thursday, October the 3rd and it then will also be the First DAY of the Seventh Month at sunset of the 6th day of the week. From sunset (Thursday, Oct 3rd) to sunset (Friday, Oct 4th) will be DAY ONE of the Seventh Biblical Month. This is the ONLY DAY we will celebrate Yom T’ruah.

4 BACK-2-BACK DOUBLE BLESSINGS IN MONTH 7

The Gregorian year 2024 / Biblical Year 5994 is definitely an extra extraordinary year! There are 5 Prophecies that points to 2024/5994 that makes this an exciting season and generation for us to live in.  (see link: https://youtu.be/Bq3nL-EvNbE?si=YhZiuhZXP1q3lKI6 ) But something took my breath away as I was working on this post about the last 3 feasts that are left in the 7th Biblical month of this year! There are 4 Sabbaths that are linked with the last 3 feasts and the last and 7th feast, links up with 2 Sabbaths that also make a total of 9 Holy Days in a row! Wowerzzz THIS IS SO AWESOME!! Just take a look at this brake down I made to understand the beautiful double blessings inside these last 3 Biblical Feasts.

Without understanding Yahweh’s Biblical Calendar in the heavens and His circular pattern of worship it would be almost impossible to calculate the calendar correctly and to keep the set apart Holy Days of Yahweh properly.

I pray that you will be greatly benefited by this teaching.

Be Blessed, B’Shem Yahshua,

MARANATHA!
