THE LAST GREAT DAY

HAPPY SHEMINI ATZERET – THE 8TH DAY OF SUKKOT

“Also the 15th day of the 7th month, when you gather the increase of the land, you shall keep the feast of YAHWEH SEVEN days; on the first day a HOLY DAY Sabbath, and on the EIGTH DAY a HOLY SABBATH DAY.” (Lev 23:39)

SHEMINI ATZERET

Today marks the 8th day of Sukkot, a HOLY DAY. Shemini is a Hebrew word that means “eighth”. The Hebrew word Atzeret is generally translated as “assembly“, but shares a root with the word atzor, meaning “stop” or “tarry”. Shemini Atzeret is characterized as a day when believers “tarries” to spend an additional day with Yahweh at the end of Sukkot as He instructed us in Leviticus 23:39, stated above.

FINAL FEAST OF YAHWEH’S 7 FEASTS

Sukkot is the 7th feast in the 7th month and last for 7 days. The EIGHT day is a separate HOLY DAY and pictures the GREAT WHITE JUDGEMENT, directly after the Millennium. (Rev 20:11-12) This is very interesting for me, and I know some of you are also “NUMER-WATCHMAN” who can see this cycle of sevens in this feast which is part of Yahweh’s blueprint for mankind in His beautiful Sabbatical Calendar Timeline. The number 7 plays a very big role in Yahweh’s Salvation Plan for His children.

7 Represent “PERFECTION / COMPLETION”. The number seven is especially prominent in Scripture, appearing over 700 times. Used 735 times (54 times in the book of Revelation alone). The number 7 is the Foundation of YAHWEH’s Word. It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to YAHWEH’s creation of all things. It is one of the most significant numbers in the Bible and there are so many examples in Scripture confirming this and every one of them link into each other.

The patterns of 7 in Scripture are all interconnected.

Let’s look at a few of them.

• The 7 days of creation
• The 7 healthy- and 7 raw-boned cows – Gen 41
• The 7-fold Holy Spirit
• The 7 colours in the rainbow
• 7 times hotter than usual – Daniel 3:19
• The 7 Biblical Feasts
• The 7 species of food – Deut 8:7-8
• The 7 ways the enemy will flee – Deut 28:7
• The 7-fold restore of Proverbs 6:30-31
• The 7 Redemptive Gifts (Rom 12)
• To Forgive 70 x 7
• For 7 days the Bridegroom and Bride will stay in the wedding chamber (Joel 2:16)
• The 7 items of furniture in the Tabernacle
• The 7 times around Jericho’s walls
• The 7 candles of the Menorah
• The 7 years of a Shemitah
• The 7 periods of time – Daniel 4:23
• The 7 women taking hold of one man – Isaiah 4:1
• The 7 enemies of Israel
• The 7 stars’ mystery in – Revelation 1:20
• The 7 golden lampstands – Revelation 1:20
• The 7 years of Tribulation
• The 7 Letters to Churches in Revelation
• The 7 Seals of Revelation
• The 7 Trumpets of Revelation
• The 7 Bowl Judgements of Revelations
• The 7 blazing torches before the throne of YAHWEH – representing the 7 Spirits of YAHWEH – Revelation 4:5

THE GREAT NEW BEGINNING

Now we know SEVEN represents PERFECTION or COMPLETION. The number EIGH represents NEW BEGINNINGS. That is exactly what will happen after the 1000-year Millenium Reign of Yahshua, (6000 year Yahweh gave mankind in Gen 6:3 + 1000 Millenium Rev 20:4-6 = 7000) then there will be the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT and then the NEW (8) JERUSALEM and eternity will begin – THE GREAT NEW (8) BEGINNING. Do you also see that Yahweh started by creating everything new in Genesis and ending again with making a NEW (8) BEGINNING for the righteous ones in Revelations 21-22? How remarkable is that!

YAHSHUA IN THE 8TH DAY

“In the LAST DAY, that GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST, Yahshua stood and cried, saying, ‘If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. Anyone who believes in Me as the scriptures have said, rivers of living water will flow from his belly.” (John 7:37-38)

During the 8th day of Sukkot, the GREAT LAST DAY of the seventh feast, He told his followers that anyone who are thirsty can come to Him and drink from Him and rivers of living waters will flow from their belly. That represents the Holy Spirit, the very Spirit of Yahweh.

THE ETERNAL COVENANT

If Yahshua was born on the first day of Sukkot on the 15th of the 7th month, then according to Yahweh’s instructions, He would have been circumcised on the EIGHT DAY according to Luke 2:21.

“And when EIGHT DAYS had passed to circumcise the Child, His name was called YAHSHUA, the name called by the cherub before He was conceived in the womb.”

Brit Milah is the ceremony during which a circumcision is performed on Jewish baby boys when they are 8 days old. This ceremony is important for many Jewish people as it is a symbol of the covenant that Yahweh made with Abraham. Can you see how Scripture link into each other? There is not one verse in Yahweh’s Word that is not there for a purpose. Yahshua was in the EIGHT day from the beginning and He will reign in the “eight day” forever as He cut covenant with Yahweh, His Father, on the EIGHT DAY of His life, so He will also be in the “Eight day” of Revelation 21-22 in covenant with His Father for an eternity. The Eternal Covenant, and we will be with Him.

It is absolutely fascinating that Yahshua made this powerful statement exactly on the EIGHT day, the GREAT LAST DAY of the feast, the exact say day He was circumcised, that HE is the LIVING WATER! And that HE gives LIVE and will give us a NEW BEGINNING if we drink of Him and if we believe in Him and be filled with His Holy Spirit and walk a righteous life, then we will not be part of the GREAT WHITE THRONE Judgement, but we will be part of Yahweh’s NEW BEGINNING< the NEW JERUSALEM and will live an eternal life with Him.

This short life we have here on earth is our “training ground”. This is the period that we are trained by the only living Elohim, Yahweh Himself, so that we may enter the NEW BEGINNING of eternity with HIM! Let’s take our focus away from the dark chaos the world is in, in this last generation and endtime, final hour. Let us not be filled with fear about the future, because we know Who is in control and we know that there is a beautiful NEW BEGINNING at the end of this love story.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END TRIGGERING THE NEW BEGINNING

My prediction is that Israel will attack Iran after this final HOLY DAY of Sukkot, because Hamas (Iran’s proxy) attacked Israel exactly the day after this FINAL HOLY DAY of Sukkot in 2023. This would be the ideal time frame for Israel for striking Iran. After that, it may be the beginning of the END, especially with the November 5th American election still ahead. But as I said, let’s stay focused on Yahweh, Yahshua and then the end time prophecies that needs to be fulfilled AND REMEMBER that this beginning of the end is not our end, but the beginning of our NEW BEGINNING as Yahweh promised. (Rev 21-22)

There is a promise in the EIGHT DAY that we will have an eternal NEW LIFE in Yahweh and be with Him forever that will start with a BRAND-NEW BEGINNING with Living Water flowing out of our bellies.

MARANATHA!!!!

HAPPY SHEMINI ATZERET
