Shabbat Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,
I noticed the annual Torah portion last week was Behar, and I was disappointed with the many commentaries I read about it.
2 Kings 19:29 proves to you when a 49th year of rest and a jubilee year took place. Those years are 701 and 700 BC. These are very well documented years in history so anyone can figure this out. Then with the many historical proofs we have for other Sabbatical years we can confirm beyond all doubt 700 and 701 BC are in fact the 49th and 50th years in a Jubilee Cycle.
This week, we are going to show you what most commentators teaching about Behar do not. Get ready for a deep dive into knowing Yehovah.
I also want to encourage you all to go to our video we just posted last week and watch it. We have submitted it to Angel Studios in the hope they might sponsor us in future videos.
Angel Studios, did send me this note:
Your Torch (Our Video seeking to be aporved for funding) has now been placed into the Angel Guild for voting! Please read the following instructions carefully to learn how to track your progress and invite others to vote on your Torch:
There are 290,490 members of the Guild. They all get to vote on whether or not my video gets to the next level. If they disapprove, I have at least succeeded in placing this message in front of 290,490 people and their families, warning them about where we are and what is coming. I feel good now that this project is completed and in front of Angel Studios. It is now in Yehovah’s hands. I may get 290,489 no’s. We only need that one person who is willing and able to help us get to the next level.
The responses tell me the people are looking for a feel-good video. They don’t want to hear the things I am presenting. We do need your prayers. But, as of this posting, we have a score of 28, and we need a score of 45 to move to the next level. This scoring is an algorithm of the points people assign to our video.
Here is another way to watch the video and vote if you are a Guild member. However, it will cost you $20 to become a member. I think you can also see the comments people leave or leave your comments.
Inviting Others
You are allowed to invite other people to join the Guild and vote on your project. Here’s how to do so:
- Share this link with anyone who wants to vote https://link.angel.com/guild/
share?code= eIsapBBwq1awjVtZVJ0x - Inform them that they must tap the link on their mobile phone and NOT on a computer
- If they are not already a Guild member, they will be asked to create an Angel account as well as join the Guild before they are able to vote
- Keep in mind that many other Guild members will be voting on your Torch in addition to those you invite
The Guild voting process takes 1-3 weeks on average, but could be shorter or longer depending on Guild activity. When a conclusion has been reached, you will be notified via email.
I was able to load our video at the following venue which I own. This first one is Techcast. You can leave comments if you want.

Torah Portion
Torah Portions
We read through the entire Torah along with the Prophets and the New Testament, once over the course of 3 1/2 years. Or according to the Sabbatical Cycle which means we read it all twice over a 7-year period. This allows us to cover more in-depth rather than being rushed to cover as much as is covered on an annual basis. We allow all to comment and take part in the discussions.
Septennial Torah Portion
If you go to Torah Portion at our archived section, you can then go to the 7th year which is the 7th year of the Sabbatical Cycle, the one we are in now, as we state at the top of every News Letter. There you can scroll down to the proper date, and see that this Shabbat we could very well be midrashing about:
Genesis 17
Judges 10-11
Psalm 35
Matthew 21:23-22:22
We are in the 1st Sabbatical Cycle in 2024-2025. We go through the entire bible twice in a 7 year cycle. This means we cover the entire bible once every 3 1/2 years. It gives us more time to debate and discuss each portion we read.
If you missed last week’s exciting discoveries as we studied that section, you can go and watch past Shabbats on our media section.
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
Join Our Sabbath Meetings
There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.
What are we doing and why do we teach this way?
We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.
The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.
Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are Wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and I and you are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.
Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.
Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.
We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.
We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as Fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.
Jas 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.
We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.
Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers songs and teaching from this hour.
Shabbat Services will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.
We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

The Perpetual Calendar
We have available from our website a calendar you can use to keep track of the days of the month based on when the Barley is ripe and when the moon is sighted. ALl you have to do is download it. https://sightedmoon.com/perpetual-calendar/
With the new year about to begin, you can learn about the calendar as you record it. This is a great tool to have and it is free to anyone who wants it.
Strikes Three, Four and Five
Strikes – Three, Four and Five
We begin this teaching with Israel leaving Mount Sinai on the 20th day of the second month, the second year after the Exodus, in 1378 B.C.
Num 10:11 And on the twentieth of the second month, in the second year, the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle of the testimony.
Num 10:12 And the sons of Israel pulled up stakes in their journeyings out of the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
Then, at the beginning of the 4th month, they sent out the spies to scout the land before they began taking possession.
Num 13:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
Num 13:2 Send men so that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel. You shall send a man from every tribe of their fathers, everyone a ruler among them.
Num 13:3 And Moses by the command of Jehovah sent them from the wilderness of Paran. All those men wereheads of the sons of Israel.
Num 13:4 And these were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
Num 13:5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
Num 13:6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Num 13:7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
Num 13:8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
Num 13:9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
Num 13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
Num 13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
Num 13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
Num 13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
Num 13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
Num 13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
Num 13:16 These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Joshua.
Num 13:17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way, southward, and go up into the mountain.
Num 13:18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that live in it, whether it is strong or weak, few or many.
Num 13:19 And see what the land is that they live in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they dwell in, whether in tents or in strongholds;
Num 13:20 and what the land is, whether fat or lean, whether there is wood in it or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of first ripe grapes.
Num 13:21 So they went up and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
Num 13:22 And they went up by the south and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Num 13:23 And they came to the valley of Eshcol and cut from there a branch with one cluster of grapes. And they carried it between two men upon a staff, and some of the pomegranates and of the figs.
Num 13:24 The place was called the valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
Report of the Spies
Num 13:25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
Num 13:26 And they left and came to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh. And they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
Num 13:27 And they told him and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey. And this is the fruit of it.
Num 13:28 However, the people that dwell in the land arestrong, and the cities are walled, very great. And also we saw the children of Anak there.
Num 13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of Jordan.
Num 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, Let us go up at once and possess it. For we are well able to overcome it.
Num 13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they arestronger than we.
Num 13:32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched to the sons of Israel, saying, The land through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up those who live in it. And all the people whom we saw in it were men of stature.
Num 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, of the giants. And we were in our own sight like grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
The People Rebel
Num 14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried. And the people wept that night.
Num 14:2 And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. And the whole congregation said to them, Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or, Oh that we had died in the wilderness!
Num 14:3 And why has Jehovah brought us into this land to fall by the sword, so that our wives and our sons should be a prey? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?
Num 14:4 And they said to one another, Let us make a leader, and let us return to Egypt.
Num 14:5 And Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Num 14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those that searched the land, tore their clothes.
Num 14:7 And they spoke to all the company of the sonsof Israel saying, The land which we passed through to search is an exceedingly good land.
Num 14:8 If Jehovah delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.
Num 14:9 Only do not rebel against Jehovah, neither fear the people of the land. For they are bread for us. Their protection has moved from them, and Jehovah is with us. Do not fear them.
Num 14:10 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the sons of Israel.
Num 14:11 And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people provoke Me? And how long will it be before they believe Me, for all the signs which I have shown among them?
Num 14:12 I will strike them with the pestilence and will disinherit them, and will make of you a greater nation and mightier than they.
Moses Intercedes for the People
Num 14:13 And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear, for You have brought up this people in Your might from among them.
Num 14:14 And they will say to the inhabitant of this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are among this people, who is seen eye to eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
Num 14:15 And will You kill this people as one man? Then the nations who have heard Your fame will speak, saying,
Num 14:16 Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has slain them in the wilderness.
Num 14:17 And now, I beseech You, let the power of my Lord be great, according as You have spoken, saying,
Num 14:18 Jehovah is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation.
Num 14:19 I beseech You, pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your mercy, and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.
God Promises Judgment
Num 14:20 And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to your word.
Num 14:21 But truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah.
Num 14:22 Because all those men who have seen My glory and My miracles which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted Me now these ten times, and have not listened to My voice,
Num 14:23 surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked Me see it.
Num 14:24 But My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land into which he went. And his seed shall possess it.
Num 14:25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites lived in the valley.) Tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
Num 14:26 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Num 14:27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmurs against Me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel which they murmur against Me.
Num 14:28 Say to them, As I live, says Jehovah, as you have spoken in My ears, so I will do to you.
Num 14:29 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me,
Num 14:30 you shall certainly not come into the land which I swore to make you live in, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Num 14:31 But your little ones, which you said should be a prey, I will bring them in and they shall know the land which you have despised.
Num 14:32 But as for you, your bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
Num 14:33 And your sons shall feed in the wilderness forty years and bear your fornications, until your dead bodies have wasted in the wilderness.
Num 14:34 According to the number of the days in which you searched the land, forty days, each day for a year you shall bear your iniquities, forty years; and you shall know My alienation.
Num 14:35 I Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. They shall be destroyed in this wilderness, and there they shall die.
Num 14:36 And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report upon the land,
Num 14:37 even those men that brought up the evil report upon the land died by the plague before Jehovah.
Num 14:38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of the men that went to spy out the land, lived.
Israel Defeated in Battle
Num 14:39 And Moses told these sayings to all the sons of Israel. And the people mourned greatly.
Num 14:40 And they rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to the place which Jehovah has promised, for we have sinned.
Num 14:41 And Moses said, Why do you now go beyond the command of Jehovah, since it shall not be blessed?
Num 14:42 Do not go up, for Jehovah is not among you. And shall you not be beaten before your enemies?
Num 14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites arethere before you, and you shall fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with you.
Num 14:44 But they presumed to go up to the hill top. But the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not leave the camp.
Num 14:45 And the Amalekites and the Canaanites who were living in that mountain came down and struck them, and beat them down, to Hormah.
This spring, Randy Cates and I went to Israel to search for the first fruits of barley. It was the month of Green Ears. There was lots of barley with green heads, and lots of barley was still in the flowering stage. This describes perfectly the month. That is the month of Green Ears. We found Barley in multiple places that were in the firm dough stage. On Wave Sheaf Day, we went back out, and again, we found barley that was ripe, as in turning brown and shattering. We reported our findings to you all each day. I admit it was very close this year, but if we had waited, then this barley would be shattering by the next possible date the following month, which Devorah reported was the case for some of the fields she was in.
We must have the first fruits of barley to wave before Yehovah so that all the rest of the land can begin to harvest when their fields become mature. Joel Halevi, in the same area, confirmed he had patches of brown and dough-filled barley the same week we reported. He did not have fields of it. Devorah went out, and she, too, confirmed the barley was brown in patches, but she, too, did not have fields of it. Yoel added a 13th month. Devorah was one month behind us already from last year.
We only need an omer of barley to wave on behalf of the entire nation. Yoel and Devorah believe each person must bring an offering and that you can cut the barley and store it until later so everyone can do it at the same time. We do not agree on this at all, because Deut 16:9 tells us we must begin the count to Shavuot when we first put the sickle to the grain. We even made a video showing how Cain did this, taking the offering he presented from the end of the harvest (the Qets or end of the season) and not the first. This was why his offering was rejected.
Many brethren did not agree with our two witnesses, Randy and me. Accusations began to swirl, and the “brethren” called us liars and declared our reports false. Why did they do this? Because it contradicted their position based on the Takanot, they had developed and were unwilling to change or look at the plain evidence.
Yehovah is our witness. He is the one who will show us what the land is doing, and we will keep His Holy Days according to what He shows us. So, this year has been a mess. The Sightedmoon group kept Passover on February 26, 2024. Another group kept it in March, and the Karaite group kept it in April, near the same time as the Hillel calendar people.
When the wheat began to mature, we showed you pictures of the wheat being silaged and explained at what stage that took place. We also showed you still more photos of other golden-brown wheat fields ready to harvest before we kept Shavuot on April 21, 2024. This was a few days before the Karaites and Hillel Calendar people even kept Passover this year, let alone when they would be keeping Wave Sheaf Day.
Again, our witness and multiple pictures of the golden wheat did not count because it was not Emmer wheat, which only one person is looking for because of their own self-made takanot. You cannot find in the Bible that we must use only Emmer wheat to keep the Feast of Shavuot. I, too, had believed this before this year. I do not believe it has to be one ancient strain that is only growing on the land today in a few selected places sought after by one person. Yehovah showed us the Barley, ready to be waved on March 3, 2024. He again showed us the wheat to be waved on April 21, 2024. But despite these two witnesses from Yehovah Himself, many “brethren” followed the takanot of other people.
OK, so rather than attack and slander others as they did to us this year, we waited for Yehovah to show us His third witness and even His fourth and fifth. I know they will not count because they are not Emmer grapes or red grapes or purple grapes or some other ridiculous reason. I know the pomegranates and the fig pictures we are going to show you don’t count because they are domesticated. But here are the pictures of the grapes taken on May 25, 2024. Most people believe we must have wild barley, but this is a takanot. Other believe we must have wild emmer wheat for Shavuot. This, too, is a takanot. To be consistent, should we not also be looking for only wild, undomesticated grapes? If you believe that, then you know nothing about grapes. Grapes only grow because they are pruned, domesticated, and selectively bred to get various varieties. OK, so either you apply your takanot across the board or remove it because it is precisely that, a takanot. Not a commandment from Yehovah.
There is no command to have grapes by such and such a date. One of the only clues we have for the grapes is the section about the spies coming back from the land of Canaan with a large cluster of grapes at that time. And we know that time was the 9th of Av. Many terrible events, such as the destruction of both Temples, occurred on this date, reminding us of this curse starting with the 12 spies. I believe I even showed you one year; it was suspected that Joseph was also thrown into the pit and sold to Midians on this day. On this day, I believe the slaughter in the Valley of Jehosaphat will occur, as spoken of in the book of Revelation. That valley is today known as the Kidron Valley.
The 9th or the 10th of Av this year for us will be on June 16 and or 17th. Some say the 9th of Av and others the 10th of Av. This date is still three weeks away from the day these pictures were taken by Harel Anat in the vineyards of Gavat Nili on May 25, 2024.
You will notice that along with the grapes, they also brought pomegranates and figs. Notice that we are told in Numbers that the first fruits of grapes were expected to be found at that time. It was the Time of the First Ripe Grapes. The first RIPE. The First!!!!
Num 13:19 And see what the land is that they live in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they dwell in, whether in tents or in strongholds;
Num 13:20 and what the land is, whether fat or lean, whether there is wood in it or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of first ripe grapes.
Num 13:23 And they came to the valley of Eshcol and cut from there a branch with one cluster of grapes. And they carried it between two men upon a staff, and some of the pomegranates and of the figs.
Num 13:24 The place was called the valley of Eshcol because of the cluster of grapes which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
Here are some pictures of the First grapes, pomegranates, and figs. Also, notice we are not soliciting people to go out and find these things. We are just looking at what people post on the Israel Nature Facebook page. Anyone can do this. These people posting all live in the land. They have no agenda to prove or dates to set. They are just posting their pictures showing the beauty of Israel. All you have to do is look, and you can be your own witness.
Here are some pomegranates just flowering and then changing into fruit.
Pomagranate by LIor Nagar May 24, 2024
The following pictures of Pomegranates were uploaded on May 31, 2024 by Efrat Sagmon.
The third fruit that the spies brought back was figs; sure enough, this week, we began to see our first pictures of figs in the land of Israel.
These were taken by Dinah Mahler on May 28, 2024. For those of us who kept Passover on February 26, 2024, and Wave Sheaf Day on March 3, 2024, we are still three weeks away from the 9th or 10th of Av, when the spies would have come back with these three species from the land of Israel: the very first fruits of Grapes, Pomegranates, and Figs. This Sabbath is the 25th day of the 4th month.
We keep pointing these things out to you as a witness so that you can begin to observe the Holy Days at the proper time. Being an ostrich does not help you keep them when Yehovah says. Do not let other people tell you what to believe. Just look at the evidence and then you decide.
Torah Portion Behar
Torah Portion Behar
Those doing the annual Torah portions, meaning those who read the entire Torah in one year, read Behar last week, which is the portion about Leviticus 25. Each time I listen to almost any of those teaching on this, they all evidently end up talking about the freedom aspects of this portion and never discuss when the Sabbatical or Jubilee years are. We do not need to argue over whether or not they are to be kept outside the land, but we will shortly.
sightedmoon.com was founded on the understanding that anyone can know when the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years are. We show you exactly how to prove when they are and then we show you how they reveal end time prophecy.
When you do not keep the Holy Days or the Sabbath, any real Bible student understands that those who do so lack understanding and, by doing so, cannot understand many of the Hebrew expressions in the New Testament or the prophecies that would have been revealed had they kept those Holy Days, which many say are done away with.
In exactly the same way as those who dismiss the Leviticus 23 command to keep the Holy Days and the weekly Sabbath, those people who do keep those Holy Days, no matter which calendar, also dismiss Sabbatical and Jubilee years claiming they are only for in the land of Israel or they are only for the Jews. In so doing, they, too, have blinded themselves from understanding the many pivotal prophetic understandings revealed only once you keep these Sabbatical years.
Together the Leviticus 23 Holy Days in conjunction with the Sabbatical and Jubilee years of Leviticus 25, explain and reveal so many End-Time prophecies that my head spins as I understand more and more. But if your not going to keep the Holy Days or the Sabbatical years, then you will not be able to understand the prophecies they reveal. It is that simple.
Because so many commentators do not keep the Holy Days, let alone the Sabbatical Years, they all revert to this Torah portion called Behar and talk about Liberty and Freedom, not understanding that those blessings only come from obeying Yehovah and keeping His commandments to keep these Moedim.
The Year of Jubilee
Lev 25:8And you shall number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be forty-nine years to you.
Lev 25:9Then you shall cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth of the seventh month; in the day of atonement, the trumpet shall sound throughout all your land.
Lev 25:10And you shall make the fiftieth year holy, oneyear, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you, and you shall return each man to his possession, and you shall return each man to his family.
Lev 25:11That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. You shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather in it of your undressed vine.
Lev 25:12For it is the jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You shall eat the increase of it out of the field.
Lev 25:13In the year of this jubilee you shall return each man to his possession.
I want you to focus in on the word possession. Everyone believes it is talking his land. You are to return everyone to their land. And yes it does mean that but if you stop there then you will miss the entire plan of salvation.
H272 (Brown-Driver-Briggs) אחזּה ‘ăchûzzâh
BDB Definition:
1) possession, property
1a) land
1b) possession by inheritance
Part of Speech: noun feminine
H272 (Strong) אֲחֻזָּה ‘ăchûzzâh akh-ooz-zaw’
Feminine passive participle of H270; something seized, that is, a possession (especially of land): – possession.
H270 (Strong) אָחַז ‘âchaz aw-khaz’
A primitive root; to seize (often with the accessory idea of holding in possession): – + be affrighted, bar, (catch, lay, take) hold (back), come upon, fasten, handle, portion, (get, have or take) possess (-ion).
The root of the word אחזּה ‘ăchûzzâh is אָחַז ‘âchaz pronounced as aw-khaz’ and it means to seize hold of something and to hang on to it.
Each man is to return to his thing that he is to seize hold of and to hold on to it for dear life. This does not sound like liberty in the way that many describe liberty today. Have we overlooked something? Yes, we most certainly have.
Look to the story of Jacob. What did he do?
Gen 32:24 And Jacob was left alone. And a Man wrestled there with him until the breaking of the day.
Gen 32:25 And when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the hollow of his thigh. And the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with Him.
Gen 32:26 And He said, Let Me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let You go except You bless me.
Gen 32:27 And He said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
Gen 32:28 And He said, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for like a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed.
Gen 32:29 And Jacob asked and said, I pray You, reveal Your name. And He said, Why do you ask after My name? And He blessed him there.
Gen 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Face of God; for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Gen 32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.
Jacob wrestled with Yehovah God. He did not die but he did have power with God. The expression you have power with God comes from the word:
H8280 (Brown-Driver-Briggs) שׂרה śârâh
BDB Definition:
1) contend, have power, contend with, persist, exert oneself, persevere
1a) (Qal) to persevere, contend with
Jacob held on to or held in his possession Yehovah and would not let go. Yes, I am being loose with my Hebrew words, but their meanings are similar. Each Shabbat, we wrestle with the word, Yehovah, in our midrash, as we strive to understand what we are being told in each Torah portion we are reading. The Torah portion Behar is about Liberty, but it is much more than being set free or returning to your land inheritance.
But to understand that mysterious elusive meaning of the Jubilee, you can only understand when you do the law as James says.
Jas 2:18 But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works.
Jas 2:19 You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.
Jas 2:20 But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
What are we to possess, from Leviticus 25? Is it just the land? Is this what all the Holy Days, Sabbaths, and Sabbatical Years point us to?
Again, there are two Holy Days Judah has no idea what they are to do or what the purpose of these Holy Days are. One is the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah, The Feast of Shouting), and the other is the 8th Day Feast, Shemini Atzeret.
Many of you do know because you do obey and keep these Moedim at the appointed times.
You are shown a mystery during the days of Unleavened Bread. You are to take the very first of the first fruits and wave it before Yehovah on the 8th day, Sunday, during the seven days of Unleavened Bread.
The Feast of Firstfruits
Lev 23:9 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 23:10 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah to be received for you. On the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Lev 23:12 And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to Jehovah.
Lev 23:13 And its food offering shall be two-tenths part of fine flour mixed with oil, a fire offering to Jehovah for a sweet savor. And the drink offering of it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
Lev 23:14 And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor green ears, until the same day, until you have brought an offering to your God. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Why are we to do this? What is the purpose of waving the first fruits on that Sunday morning? Wrestle with the word… if you will be called Israel, or one who prevailed with Yehovah God. One who “sarah” or “achaz” with Yehovah. Yehovah tells you “to let Him go” (shalach) through the works of Satan, as the dawn of the 7th millennial day is about to break out in 2045. Are you going to “shalach” Yehovah, or are you going to “אחזּה ‘ăchûzzâh” Him?
On this first day of the week, the morrow after the Sabbath during the days of Unleavened Bread, the morrow after Yehshua came out of the grave on Sabbath, leading a host of captives, from the grave, He led them with Him to heaven. He presented these first fruits as the offering of the first fruits of mankind to be raised from the grave.
Mat 27:50 And crying again with a loud voice, Jesus released His spirit.
Mat 27:51 And, behold! The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And the earth quaked, and the rocks were sheared,
Mat 27:52 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep arose,
Mat 27:53 and coming out of the tomb after His resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Eph 4:8 Therefore He says, “When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.”
Eph 4:9 (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10 He who descended is the same also as He who ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.)
1Co 15:20 But now Christ has risen from the dead, andhas become the firstfruit of those who slept.
1Co 15:21 For since death is through man, the resurrection of the dead also is through a Man.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the first-fruit, and afterward they who are Christ’s at His coming;
1Co 15:24 then is the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He makes to cease all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:25 for it is right for Him to reign until He has put all the enemies under His feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy made to cease is death.
1Co 15:27 For He put all things under His feet. But when He says that all things have been put under His feet, it is plain that it excepts Him who has put all things under Him.
1Co 15:28 But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subject to Him who has subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all things in all.
This thing called Wave Sheaf Day, where the barley was waved before the Altar to begin the harvest season, in truth, represented the very first fruits of mankind to be raised from the dead. These saints who came back to life are now FREE from the grave to return to their possession—not the land but unto Yehovah. They now have true liberty. Once you understand this momentous event in the history of humankind, then the rest of Yehovah’s Holy Days and the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years take on a new and meaningful expectation.
Notice that Sunday Wave Sheaf Day is both the first day of the week and the 8th day of the week simultaneously.
When we search for this pattern in the other moedim, we discover it again at the Feast of Shavuot, also called Pentecost Sunday.
The Feast of Weeks
Lev 23:15 And you shall count to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete.
Lev 23:16 To the next day after the seventh sabbath you shall number fifty days. And you shall offer a new food offering to Jehovah.
Lev 23:17 You shall bring out of your homes two wave loaves of two-tenth parts. They shall be of fine flour. They shall be baked with leaven, firstfruits to Jehovah.
Lev 23:18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bull, and two rams. They shall be for a burnt offering to Jehovah, with their food offering, and their drink offerings, a fire offering of sweet savor to Jehovah.
Lev 23:19 Then you shall sacrifice one he-goat for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
Lev 23:20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits, a wave offering before Jehovah, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Jehovah for the priest.
Lev 23:21 And you shall proclaim on the same day that it may be a holy convocation to you. You shall do no work of labor. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Lev 23:22 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely reap the corner of your field. When you reap the gleaning of your harvest, you shall not gather. You shall leave them to the poor and to the stranger. I am Jehovah your God.
Another first fruits offering. What does this mean? The meaning of this first fruits offering is only revealed to us once we understand what took place at the first, first fruits offering during Passover in 31 C.E. Only then can we understand why Yehshua referred to us as wheat in many of His parables. This is when those of us who are alive and those who have died will be raised up from the grave at His coming on Shavuot. The Jubilee Cycles show us this will take place in 2033. This is what many call the Rapture and they have no clue how much they could learn if they only kept the moedim which teaches them about this most special day.
Mystery and Victory
1Co 15:50 And I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:51 Behold, I speak a mystery to you; we shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed;
1Co 15:52 in a moment, in a glance of an eye, at the last trumpet. For a trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and when this mortal shall put on immortality, then will take place the word that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?”
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 15:58 So that, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Lord.
Shavuot, the next resurrection of the dead, will take place on Sunday, the first and eighth days simultaneously. The pattern has now been revealed to you. But notice this as well. Shavuot is the 50th day and it mirrors the 50th year jubilee count. You just read the commandment to keep the 50th day in Leviticus 23, now read the commandment in Leviticus 25 and notice how similarly it reads.
Lev 23:15 And you shall count to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete.
Lev 23:16 To the next day after the seventh sabbath you shall number fifty days. And you shall offer a new food offering to Jehovah.
Lev 25:8 And you shall number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be forty-nine years to you.
Lev 25:9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth of the seventh month; in the day of atonement, the trumpet shall sound throughout all your land.
Lev 25:10 And you shall make the fiftieth year holy, oneyear, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you, and you shall return each man to his possession, and you shall return each man to his family.
The 50th year has a similar meaning to the 50th day of Shavuot. The return of the people to their possessions is connected to the wheat harvest being raised up and/or changed in the twinkling of an eye. This, too, is connected to the Wave Sheaf Day, when the dead in Christ were raised back to life and went into Jerusalem on that 8th day.
You are being shown yet a third resurrection to take place. A third time, the dead will be raised. But when is this to take place?
Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from Heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
Rev 20:3 And he cast him into the abyss and shut him up and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years should be fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed a little time.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast nor his image, nor had received his mark on their foreheads, nor in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.
The rest of the dead did not live again until after the 7th millennium is over at the same time Satan is released again for a short while. This is their last chance to obey Yehovah and live.
There is yet another 8th-day event to look at. It is called The 8th Day Feast or Shemini Atzeret, but this day is one of those two feasts that the Jews do not know why they keep it.
We find it mentioned along with Sukkot.
The Feast of Booths
Lev 23:33 And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
Lev 23:34 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to Jehovah.
Lev 23:35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no work of labor.
Lev 23:36 Seven days you shall offer a fire offering to Jehovah. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you. And you shall offer a fire offering to Jehovah. It is a solemn assembly. And you shall do no work of labor.
Lev 23:37 These are the feasts of Jehovah which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer a fire offering to Jehovah, a burnt offering and a food offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, everything on its day;
Lev 23:38 besides the sabbath of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your free-will offerings which you give to Jehovah.
Lev 23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast to Jehovah seven days. On the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
Lev 23:40 And you shall take the fruit of majestic trees for yourselves on the first day, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the valley. And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God seven days.
Lev 23:41 And you shall keep it a feast to Jehovah seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.
Lev 23:42 You shall live in booths seven days. All that are born Israelites shall live in booths,
Lev 23:43 so that your generations may know that I made the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.
Lev 23:44 And Moses declared the feasts of Jehovah to the sons of Israel.
Verse 39 is all you are told about this most special of Feast days. Yehovah expects you to think and discover the meaning by understanding Him.
We are told that we must circumcise our boys on the 8th day. Why? What does this have to do with Shemini Atzeet? Circumcision is mentioned multiple times in the Bible. including Genesis 17:10-14, Romans 4:11, and Acts 15:1-29. It symbolizes obedience to Yehovah’s commandments and a seal of righteousness. The New Testament focuses on the circumcision of the heart, representing an inward transformation. Jeremiah meant this when he said Yehovah would write my commandments on their hearts.
Jer 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, men of Judah and people of Jerusalem; lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn so that none can put it out; because of the evil of your doings.
Gen 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
Gen 17:8 And I will give the land to you in which you are a stranger, and to your seed after you, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. And I will be their God.
Gen 17:9 And God said to Abraham, And you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you in their generations.
Gen 17:10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you. Every male child among you shall be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. And it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you.
Gen 17:12 And a son of eight days shall be circumcised among you, every male child in your generations; he that is born in the house, or bought with silver of any stranger who is not of your seed.
Gen 17:13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your silver, must be circumcised. And My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Gen 17:14 And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.
We are also told that those with a period are not clean until the 8th day.
Lev 15:28 But if she is cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
Lev 15:29 And on the eighth day she shall take two turtle-doves to her, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Lev 15:30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her before Jehovah for the issue of her uncleanness.
Those who have an issue must wait until the 8th day and then they can be atoned for.
Lev 15:13 And when he who issues is cleansed of his issue, then he shall number seven days to himself for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
Lev 15:14 And on the eighth day he shall take two turtle-doves to himself, or two young pigeons, and come before Jehovah to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them to the priest.
Lev 15:15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him before Jehovah for his issue.
I also want you to notice how the laws for leprosy involved the cleansing on the 8th day and how they also employ the two turtle doves.
Laws for Cleansing Lepers
Lev 14:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 14:2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest.
Lev 14:3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp. And the priest shall look, and behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
Lev 14:4 then the priest shall command to take two clean live birds for him that is to be cleansed, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
Lev 14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water.
Lev 14:6 He shall take the living bird, and the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the slain bird, over the running water.
Lev 14:7 And he shall sprinkle on him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

Lev 14:9 But on the seventh day he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eye-brows; even all his hair shall he shave off. And he shall wash his clothes. He also shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
Lev 14:10 And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three-tenth parts of fine flour for a food offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
Lev 14:11 And the priest who is cleansing, and the man who is to be cleansed, shall stand with them before Jehovah at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Lev 14:12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Jehovah.
Lev 14:13 And he shall kill the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place. For as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.
Lev 14:14 And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
Lev 14:15 And the priest shall take from the log of oil and pour into the palm of his own left hand.
Lev 14:16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil in his left hand and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.
Lev 14:17 And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering.
Lev 14:18 And the rest of the oil in the priest’s palm he shall pour on the head of him that is to be cleansed. And the priest shall make an atonement for him before Jehovah.

Lev 14:20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the food offering on the altar. And the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
Lev 14:21 And if he is poor and his hand cannot reach so much, then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one-tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a food offering, and a log of oil,
Lev 14:22 and two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, such as his hand can reach. And the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
Lev 14:23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before Jehovah.
Lev 14:24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Jehovah.
Lev 14:25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. And the priest shall take from the blood of the trespass offering, and put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
Lev 14:26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand.
Lev 14:27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Jehovah.
Lev 14:28 And the priest shall put of the oil in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
Lev 14:29 And the rest of the oil in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before Jehovah.
Lev 14:30 And he shall offer the one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to get,
Lev 14:31 even such as he is able to reach, the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, with the food offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before Jehovah.
Lev 14:32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to reach in his cleansing.
Arron and his sons also went through an elaborate ceremony in preparation to be Priests for Yehovah. And they were only cleansed on the 8th day.
Lev 8:33 You shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation seven days, until the days of your consecration are at an end. For He shall consecrate you seven days.
Lev 8:34 As He has done this day, Jehovah has commanded you to do, to make an atonement for you.
Lev 8:35 And you shall remain at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, so that you do not die. For so I am commanded.
Lev 8:36 And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses.
The Lord Accepts Aaron’s Offering
Lev 9:1 And it happened on the eighth day. Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel.
Lev 9:2 And he said to Aaron, Take a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram without blemish for a burnt offering, and offer before Jehovah.
Lev 9:3 And speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Take a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb of the first year, all without blemish, for a burnt offering.
Lev 9:4 Also take a young bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah, and a food offering mixed with oil. For today Jehovah will appear to you.
Lev 9:5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation. And all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah.
Lev 9:6 And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah commanded that you should do. And the glory of Jehovah shall appear to you.
Lev 9:7 And Moses said to Aaron, Go to the altar, and offer your sin offering and your burnt offerings, and make an atonement for yourself and for the people. And offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them, even as Jehovah commanded.
Lev 9:8 Aaron then went to the altar and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
Lev 9:9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood to him. And he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar.
Lev 9:10 But he burned the fat and the kidneys and the lobe above the liver of the sin offering on the altar, even as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Lev 9:11 And he burned the flesh and the hide with fire outside the camp.
Lev 9:12 And he killed the burnt offering. And Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on the altar.
Lev 9:13 And they presented the burnt offering to him, with the pieces of it, and the head. And he burned them on the altar.
Lev 9:14 And he washed the inward parts and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.
Lev 9:15 And he brought the people’s offering. And he took the he-goat, the sin offering for the people, and killed it and offered it for sin as the first.
Lev 9:16 And he brought the burnt offering and offered it according to the ordinance.
Lev 9:17 And he brought the food offering and took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
Lev 9:18 He also killed the young bull and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings for the people. And Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar all around.
Lev 9:19 And they brought the fat of the young bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the inward parts, and the kidneys, and the lobe above the liver.
Lev 9:20 And they put the fat on the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar.
Lev 9:21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before Jehovah, as Moses commanded.
Lev 9:22 And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and peace offerings.
Lev 9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out and blessed the people. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the people.
Lev 9:24 And there came a fire out from before Jehovah, and burned up the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. And all the people saw and shouted and fell on their faces.
At the end of this 8th-day ceremony, notice what Yehovah did. He sent forth a fire which consumed the offering on the Altar. This event took place at Passover after they had made the wave offering. I think it was eight days after the Wave Offering.
Another 8th-day event is Solomon’s dedication of the Temple. This is the very same Feast of Dedication Yehshua was keeping in John 10:22. To prove this, just read John chapters 7 through 11. It all took place during Sukkot that year.
The Ark Brought to the Temple
2Ch 5:2 And Solomon gathered the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which isZion.
2Ch 5:3 And all the men of Israel gathered themselves to the king in the feast in the seventh month.
2Ch 5:4 And all the elders of Israel came. And the Levites took up the ark.
2Ch 5:5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that werein the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought these up.
2Ch 5:6 And King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were gathered to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
2Ch 5:7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, to the Holy of Holies in the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubs.
2Ch 5:8 For the cherubs spread out their wings over the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark and its staves above.
2Ch 5:9 And they drew out the staves so that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there it is until this day.
2Ch 5:10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tables which Moses put in it at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel when they came out of Egypt.
2Ch 5:11 And it happened as the priests came out of the holy place, for all the priests present were sanctified, and did not wait by division.
2Ch 5:12 And the Levitical singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brothers, being clothed in white linen, having cymbals and with harps and lyres, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets,
2Ch 5:13 and they were as one to the trumpeters and to the singers, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and as they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, For He is good, for His mercy endures forever, the house was filled with a cloud, the house of Jehovah,
2Ch 5:14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God!
Fire from Heaven
2Ch 7:1 And when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from Heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices. And the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
2Ch 7:2 And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah because the glory of Jehovah had filled Jehovah’s house.
2Ch 7:3 And when all the sons of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah on the house, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised Jehovah, saying, For He isgood, for His mercy endures forever.
Chronicles tells you that Yehovah filled the Temple, but to know when, we must read 1 Kings 8 to learn that it was on the 8th day.
The Ark Brought into the Temple
1Ki 8:1 And Solomon gathered the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, so that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
1Ki 8:2 And all the men of Israel were gathered to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which isthe seventh month.
1Ki 8:3 And all the elders of Israel came in, and the priests took up the ark.
1Ki 8:4 And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels which were in the tabernacle; even those the priests and the Levites brought up.
1Ki 8:5 And King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who had assembled to him, were with him before the ark sacrificing sheep and oxen which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
1Ki 8:6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah into its place, into the holy place of the house, into the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubs.
1Ki 8:7 For the cherubs spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark. And the cherubs covered the ark and the staves of it above.
1Ki 8:8 And they drew out the staves, so that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place, in front of the Holy of Holies. And they were not seen outside. And there they are until today.
1Ki 8:9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.
1Ki 8:10 And it happened when the priests had come out of the Holy of Holies, the cloud filled the house of Jehovah.
1Ki 8:11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.
Solomon Blesses the Lord
1Ki 8:12 And Solomon said, Jehovah said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
1Ki 8:13 I have surely built a house of loftiness for You, a settled place for You to abide in forever.
1Ki 8:14 And the king turned his face around and blessed all the congregation of Israel. And all the congregation of Israel stood.
1Ki 8:15 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to David my father, and has fulfilled it by His hand, saying,
1Ki 8:16 From the day that I brought forth My people Israel out of Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, so that My name might be in it. But I chose David to be over My people Israel.
1Ki 8:17 And it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
1Ki 8:18 And Jehovah said to my father David, Because it was in your heart to build a house to My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
1Ki 8:19 Only, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall come out of your loins, he shall build the house to My name.
1Ki 8:20 And Jehovah has performed His Word which He spoke, and I have risen up instead of my father David. And I sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised. And I have built a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
1Ki 8:21 And I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication
1Ki 8:22 And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.
1Ki 8:23 And he said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, there isno God like You, in Heaven above or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their heart,
1Ki 8:24 who have kept with Your servant David my father what You promised him. You also spoke with Your mouth, and have fulfilled with Your hand, as it istoday.
1Ki 8:25 And now, Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David, my father, what You promised him, saying, There shall not be cut off from you a man in My sight to sit on the throne of Israel— if your sons take heed to their way so that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.
1Ki 8:26 And now, O God of Israel, I pray You, let Your Word be proved to be true, the Word which You spoke to Your servant David my father.
1Ki 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built?
1Ki 8:28 Yet, O, Jehovah my God, You have turned toward the prayer of Your servant and to his request, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today;
1Ki 8:29 for Your eyes to be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, My name shall be there; to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place.
1Ki 8:30 And You shall listen to the cry of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, and hear in Heaven Your dwelling-place, and when You hear, forgive!
1Ki 8:31 If any man sins against his neighbor, and if an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and if the oath comes before Your altar in this house,
1Ki 8:32 then hear in Heaven, and do, and judge Your servants, to declare the wicked to be wicked, to bring his way on his head, and to declare the righteous to be righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
1Ki 8:33 When Your people Israel are crushed before the enemy because they have sinned against You, and shall turn again to You and confess Your name, and pray, and cry to You in this house,
1Ki 8:34 then hear in Heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them again into the land which You gave to their fathers.
1Ki 8:35 When the heavens are restrained, and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, if they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin when You afflict them,
1Ki 8:36 then hear in Heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, for You shall teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain on Your land which You have given to Your people for an inheritance.
1Ki 8:37 If there is famine in the land, if there is plague, blasting, mildew, locusts; if there are stripping locusts; if their enemy encircles them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness,
1Ki 8:38 any prayer, any supplication from any man of all Your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house,
1Ki 8:39 then hear in Heaven Your dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart You know. For You, You only, know the hearts of all the sons of Adam.
1Ki 8:40 Do this so that they may fear You all the days that they live in the land which You have given to our fathers.
1Ki 8:41 And concerning a stranger who is not of Your people Israel, but who comes out of a far country for Your name’s sake;
1Ki 8:42 for they shall hear of Your great name and of Your strong hand and of Your stretched-out arm; and if he shall come and pray toward this house,
1Ki 8:43 hear in Heaven Your dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, to fear You, as Your people Israel do , and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.
1Ki 8:44 If Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You shall send them, and shall pray to Jehovah toward the city which You have chosen, and the house that I have built for Your name,
1Ki 8:45 then hear in Heaven their prayer and their cry, and maintain their cause.
1Ki 8:46 If they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin), and if You are angry with them, and have delivered them up before the enemy, and they have been led away captive to the land of the enemy, far or near,
1Ki 8:47 yet if they shall think within themselves in the land where they are carried captives, and repent, and pray to You in the land of their captors saying, We have sinned and have done perversely, we have done wickedly,
1Ki 8:48 and so return to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and if they pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, to the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name,
1Ki 8:49 then hear their prayer and their cry in Heaven Your dwelling-place, and maintain their cause,
1Ki 8:50 and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, even all their sins which they have done against You, and give them pity before their captors, so that they may have pity on them.
1Ki 8:51 For they are Your people, and Your inheritance, which You brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the furnace of iron,
1Ki 8:52 for Your eyes shall be open to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your people Israel, to listen to them in all that they call for to You.
1Ki 8:53 For You have separated them from among all the people of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by the hand of Moses Your servant, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.
Solomon’s Benediction
1Ki 8:54 And it happened as Solomon finished praying all this prayer and petition to Jehovah, he rose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
1Ki 8:55 And he stood and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
1Ki 8:56 Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant.
1Ki 8:57 May Jehovah our God be with us as He was with our fathers. Let Him not leave us nor forsake us,
1Ki 8:58 to incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments which He commanded our fathers.
1Ki 8:59 And let these my words, with which I have prayed before Jehovah, be near Jehovah our God day and night, so that He may maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel of each day in its day,
1Ki 8:60 for all the people of the earth know that Jehovah is God; there is no other.
1Ki 8:61 And let your heart be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day.
Solomon’s Sacrifices
1Ki 8:62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
1Ki 8:63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
1Ki 8:64 On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court before the house of Jehovah. For there he had offered the burnt offering, and the food offering, and the fat of the peace offerings; because the bronze altar before Jehovah was too small to contain the burnt offering, and the food offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
1Ki 8:65 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath to the river of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.
1Ki 8:66 On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah had done for David His servant, and for Israel His people.
Here is one I have only just realized as I prepared this article.
During the 10 Days of Awe, from the Feast of Trumpets until the Day of Atonement, there is one Sabbath known as Shabbath Shuva. It is on the seventh day of the 10 Days of Awe. Shabbat Shuva represents the Sabbatical year that comes during the final 10 years we are in right now. We are in the first year of those days of judgment. The year representing Shabbat Shuva is 2030. Looking at this Sabbatical cycle, the 8th year will be 2031. This will be the second year of the Great Tribulation. What are we to expect to take place at that time? We already have all these examples preceding us.
The Lord Will Restore Israel
Ezk 20:33 As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, I will reign over you.
Ezk 20:34 And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the lands in which you are scattered among them, with a mighty hand and with a stretched out arm and with fury poured out.
Ezk 20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
Ezk 20:36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Jehovah.
Ezk 20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
Ezk 20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who sin against Me. I will bring them out from the land where they reside, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.
The Lord’s Mercy on Israel
Hos 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will lure her and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her.
Hos 2:15 And I will give her vineyards to her from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Hos 2:16 And it shall be at that day, says Jehovah, you shall call Me, My Husband, and shall no more call Me, My Baal.
Hos 2:17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no more be remembered by their name.
Hos 2:18 And in that day I will cut a covenant for them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
Hos 2:19 And I will betroth you to Me forever. Yea, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies.
Hos 2:20 I will even betroth you to Me in faithfulness. And you shall know Jehovah.
Hos 2:21 And it will be, in that day I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,
Hos 2:22 and the earth shall hear the grain and the wine and the oil. And they shall hear Jezreel.
Hos 2:23 And I will sow her to Me in the earth. And I will have mercy on No-mercy. And I will say to Not-my-people, You are My people. And they shall say, My God.
Revelation 12:14 And two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the serpent’s face.
Micah 6:1 Hear now what Jehovah says: Arise, contend with the mountains and let the hills hear your voice.
2 Mountains, hear Jehovah’s case, and the constant foundations of the earth. For Jehovah has a quarrel with His people, and He will plead His case with Israel.
The Lord’s Day of Vengeance
Isa 63:1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One adorned in His clothing, bending down in His great power? I who speak in righteousness, great to save.
Isa 63:2 Why is Your clothing red, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
Isa 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with Me; for I will tread them in My anger and trample them in My fury; and their blood will be sprinkled on My garments, and I will stain all My clothing.
Isa 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.
Isa 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm has saved for Me; and My fury upheld Me.
Isa 63:6 And I will tread down the people in My anger, and make them drunk in My fury, and I will pour their juice to the earth.
What do all of these teachings about the 8th day show you? What do those teachings about being unclean for seven days and then clean on the 8th day teach you? What do those teachings about the Saints being raised on the 8th day teach you? Are you seeing a pattern for Shemini Atzeret? It is connected to the Covenant, which is connected to the circumcision of the flesh and the heart. Being atoned for and redeemed.
It was on the 8th day that Yehovah came and consumed the fire offering of Arron and filled the Temple at the dedication on the 8th Day, of Shemini Atzeret.
What is it that the Jubilee Years shows us about liberty? What is the possession we are to cling to, to wrestle with to sarah with and to be Israel with? It is not the land. It is Yehovah. He is our possession. He is what we should be restored to in the 50th year, and at Shavuot and on the 8th Day. Yehovah!!!
If you can grasp this then look at another 8th day event known as the 8th millennium. The Feast Day Shemini Atzeret represents the 8th millennium when Yehovah will come and dwell with mankind here on earth after Satan, along with death and the false prophet, are thrown into the lake of fire and destroyed forever. Only then will Yehovah come and dwell with us here on this earth forever.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. And the sea no longer is.

Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
The New Jerusalem
Rev 21:9 And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God,
Rev 21:11 having the glory of God. And its light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
Rev 21:12 And it had a great and high wall, with twelve gates. And on the gates were twelve angels, and having names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel:
Rev 21:13 From the east three gates, from the north three gates, from the south three gates, and from the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he who talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
Rev 21:16 And the city lies four-square, and the length is as large as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured its wall, a hundred andforty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Rev 21:18 And the foundation of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city had been adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Rev 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls. Respectively, each one of the gates was one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, even the Lamb.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they might shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of those who are saved will walk in the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
Rev 21:25 And its gates may not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no way enter into it anything that defiles, or any making an abomination or a lie; but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The River of Life
Rev 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of its street, and of the river, from here and from there, was the Tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each yielding its fruit according to one month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 And every curse will no longer be; but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him.
Rev 22:4 And they will see His face, and His name will be in their foreheads.
Rev 22:5 And there will be no night there. And they need no lamp, or light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light. And they will reign forever and ever.
Jesus Is Coming
Rev 22:6 And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show to His servants the things which must shortly be done.
Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book.
Rev 22:8 And I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things.
Rev 22:9 Then he said to me, Behold! See, do not do it! For I am your fellow-servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Do worship to God.
Rev 22:10 And he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book; for the time is at hand.
Rev 22:11 He acting unjustly, let him still act unjustly. And the filthy, let him be filthy still. And the righteous, let him be righteous still. And the holy, let him be holy still.
Rev 22:12 And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according as his work is.
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they who do His commandments, that their authority will be over the Tree of Life, and they may enter in by the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 But outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes a lie.
Rev 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you over the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let the one hearing say, Come! And let the one who is thirsty come. And he willing, let him take of the Water of Life freely.
Rev 22:18 For I testify together to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add on him the plagues that have been written in this Book.
Rev 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.
Rev 22:20 He who testifies these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly, Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
Rev 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.
This Torah Portion about Behar, is so much more than just liberty and freedom. Once you understand that our freedom and liberty are only found in Yehovah, then we are to cling to Yehovah, as Israel did, and we are not to let go. By clinging to Him we are clinging to the Torah, His words.
Jhn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jhn 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
Jhn 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.
Trump Convicted on 34 Felony Counts
Trump Convicted on 34 Felony Counts
Thursday, May 30, 2024, Donald Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts.
Let me be clear: I liked Donald Trump for the first two years after he was elected, but I am focused on prophecy, not the leader of the USA.
The sentencing is scheduled for July 11. The Republican nominations for president of the USA will begin on July 15-18.
At the same time, our 4th Lockdown of Israel by Prime Minister Netanyahu took place on December 27, 2020, 1290 days later, is July 9, 2024. What does all of this mean? I am just watching and connecting the dots as they appear.
We are in the 120th Jubilee Cycle. We have just 20 years before the 7th millennium begins. All end-time prophecies must occur during the time that remains, no matter your theology.
As we entered the winter of 2023-2024, the first trumpet was sounded loud and clear on October 7, 2023. We have been sharing with you how these last 10 years leading up to the locking up of Satan in 2033. We also showed you how we expect the seven trumpets are going to be sounded each year during these years from 2024 to 2030. Get our book, The 10 Days of Awe, from Amazon and read it today.
The first trumpet is:
Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were cast on the earth. And the third part of trees was burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
This year, the USA has had at least 850 confirmed tornadoes and several major tornado outbreaks. It ranks among the busiest years in recorded history. This past week, hail the size of softballs was found during these storms.
We are watching the temperatures worldwide break records each month for the past year.
I have been pondering the second trumpet, and now, with the convection of former President Trump, it jumps back into focus today.
Rev 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood.
Rev 8:9 And the third part of the creatures in the sea, those having souls, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
I suspect that Great Mountain is a great nation, and I believe great nation to be in the USA. If this is correct then what does it mean to be burning with fire? Is this a civil war in the nation? Is it being defeated by other nations?
I do not know, but I expect this second trumpet to begin in 2025. Does that mean it will begin this fall? Again, I do not know, but we are watching.
The USA elections will be held on November 5, 2024. What will happen if Trump wins, and what will happen if he loses? Will President Biden survive the next 4 years because of his age? What if he died just before the election date in November.? Are we that close to anarchy and civil war in the USA this fall or come January 2025, when the winner takes office?
Dan 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.
Dan 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
Hos 8:3 Israel has thrown off good; the enemy shall pursue him.
Hos 8:4 They have set up kings, but not by Me; they have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols with their silver and their gold, so that they may be cut off.
Hos 8:5 Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. Until when will they not attain purity?
Throw into this mix the pro-Palestinian protests sweeping the Western world.
And then there is the 3rd trumpet plague to keep in mind.
Rev 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and a great star burning like a lamp fell from the heaven, and it fell on the third part of the rivers and on the fountains of waters.
Rev 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood, and a third part of the waters became wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
I suspect this to be a nuclear attack. From whom and upon whom, I do not know. But we have entered the 10 days of judgment, which is what these 10 years are upon the whole world.
I am disappointed in the fact Mr Dumond that you and other Father’s teachers keep using,”The Music Festival”, “The Nova Musical Festival”, (October 7, 2024). It was not a musical festival it was a … “rave”. This is why Father, Abba, is so upset has His wrath flared. This is the abomination of desolation.
