The Vine

Joseph F. Dumond

Isa 6:9-12 And He said, Go, and tell this people, You hear indeed, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed. Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities are wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land laid waste, a desolation, and until Jehovah has moved men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

Shabbat Shalom to the Royal Family of Yehovah,

Shalom Brethren,

The 10 Days of Awe is finished. I am done writing. I just have to clean it up a little and then I will send it out to those who are supporting this work on a monthly basis. You can also start to support this work by going to our store and clicking on the donate button. I hope to send it out to our supporters this week so you can begin to read all these things in time for the fall Holy Days. It is raw and unedited for the most part. That is what we are going to work on next which could take months. While we do that I wanted those supporting this work to have this book and to begin their studies on it.

I want to share this with you as we approach the coming 10 Days of Awe from the Feast of Trumpets to the Day of Atonement.

We are now just 1 week away from the Feast of Trumpets on Friday August 18 and then the Day of Atonement on Sunday August 27. These feasts begin the night before.
Are you ready?

We will host a zoom meeting at 10 AM and 2 PM eastern time zone for all those who would like to join us on these High Holy Days. On the Day of Atonement which is a 24 hour fast, when you do not drink water or eat any food at that time. Yehovah takes this day very serious. On the Day of Atonement we will meet at 1 PM eastern time.

For Sukkot, I will be in Israel. We have someone who is going to host our zoom room for these Holy Days and Sabbath, and we will post more about that when we get closer to the time

Are you getting ready for the Fall Feast days? We are approaching the time when our understanding of the Holy Days is going to be crucial during the 10 Days/years of Awe that begin in 2024. Are you READY?

If you do not know the meaning of the Feast of Trumpets then I urge you to get our book It Was A Riddle Not A Command and learn the very basics about this day. When you do you will also learn from the Scriptures which calendar you should be following, whether Hillel or Rabbinic, or the Barley and Crescent Moon.

Make the small investment and learn something important today.

You do not want to be told I never knew you. Take a little bit of your Feast money and order the book now at Amazon.com.

Our Groom is coming and You do not want to be told I never knew you. This is the best book to give to all your loved ones to help them learn why Yehshua was not born at Christmas and it will show them how to prove He was born Sept 11, 3 BC. It will also show them that He is coming back on this day. The expression, “no man knows the Day or the Hour” was a Hebrew idiom telling those who understood, the very day He was coming back on.

2024 is the year which represents the Feast of Trumpets. Judgment is about to begin. We were the only group warning you about 2020 and we started sounding the alarm in 2005. We are the only ones warning you about the Abomination being set up this Fall. Order the book and begin to learn these simple truths that are built one precept upon another. Order it now while your thinking about it.

You can also order a PDF copy directly from us and begin to read this book right now. Just click on the button below.

Don’t be told I never knew you!

The Shmita Year of 2023

We have now begun the 6th month and we are now half way through the Sabbatical year. How does it feel? Excited? You are now almost 1/2 way through the Sabbatical year.  You are allowed to eat some of the food you have stored away. LOL. I know looking at it each day, wondering if it was enough, still plays on your mind. So eat some of it and let the Sabbatical year be a blessing to you and your family.

Brethren find a way to obey. Stop finding excuses why you can’t do this or that.

If you just discovered this was the Shmita year, then stock up now for the remainder of the year. Don’t plant or harvest this year. Obey Yehovah.

The Shmita Year of 2023

Aviv 1 on February 21/22, 2023 began the 7th Year of Rest. You can prove this by understanding that 2 King 19:29 spoke about a 49th and 50th-year land rest. Knowing this was 701 and 700 BC, you can then count by 7 or 49 and land on every Sabbatical year or every Jubilee in history. All of our proof’s line up with this understanding.

We want to encourage you to watch and share this video of our teaching at GLC about the Sabbatical Year.

In this Sabbatical year, you are:

  1. Not to Plant
  2. Not to Harvest
  3. Stock up on Food in the 6th year
  4. Forgive Debts
  5. Read the Torah Out Loud on the 1st day of Sukkot.

These are the basic rules that you are to keep in order to be blessed by Yehovah. As of this writing, it is not too late to stock up for the year.

There are 365 days in the year. Let’s just say there are 400 days, in case there is an Adar Bet next year. You can buy 400 Cans of Soup to have one meal of soup each day during the year. One can of soup costs about $2, so for $800 you have a year’s supply of soup. But if you are not going to eat soup every day then take out half and buy canned beans, vegetables and fruits.

You can do this. Do not say you can’t do this. Find the will to find a way to get this done. Find excuses as to why you will obey. We are coming into the 5th curse over the next 7 years. That curse is famine and it will be so bad that people will eat their own children. So stock up on food now so you can obey Yehovah. And extra food will be a welcome blessing later.

Brethren, this is not that hard to do. What it takes is the willpower to do it: that and a little planning. You can buy meat throughout the year. It is not a ban on meat. You can also eat anything that grows of itself during the year. But do not plan on living off of those things that come from the ground. It they fail then you have no food. Stock up now, and if something grows, they are a bonus, but they are also free game for the neighbours and the animals. So they might eat it before you do. Plan ahead and stock up now. You still have time to get it done.

I received this email this week and want to share it and answer it with you all.

Message: Hello Joseph

I was wondering – are we allowed to still buy “old stock” from the store up to 22 Feb 2023? Most products have Production dates and Sell by dates on them. I am staying away from fresh vegetables and fruit but if I can see on a canned item or on frozen vegetables that the Production date in well outside of the beginning of the Shmita year, I am allowed to buy it?

As you might know, we (South Africa) are sometimes without power for up to 8 hours, sometimes more, a day. I therefore did not invest in an extra freezer or fridge for we are expecting the collapse of the grid any day and all those frozen things will have to be thrown away. I have stocked up for the Shmita year, but still have this impression on my spirit that I have to keep doing it for as long as I can – especially canned goods.

Personally I do not see why I can’t, because it is old stock. Nowhere do I read in the Torah that you are not allowed to buy the old stock in the Shmita year (provided of course that you can find a Production date on the can/container that is well outside the beginning of our Shmita year. But, my understanding of it may be wrong, so I would really appreciate your input.

Shalom

Melanie

South Africa

As I always do here is my standard answer as to what you are to do during the Sabbatical year.

  1. Not to Plant
  2. Not to Harvest
  3. Stock up on Food in the 6th year
  4. Forgive Debts
  5. Read the Torah Out Loud on the 1st day of Sukkot.

Each person is different. Each person has a different culture they live in. Some do not have electric power. Some are called and discover this information and the sabbatical year has already begun. Yehovah has called each of us from the walk we are in. Different races, different problems. But He HAS called you to begin NOW to obey. So, start to obey from that point on with all your might and all your ability. But Start!!!

Joe Dumond Rules

In answer to Melanie, these are now what I do. They are not written in Torah. This would come under Joe Dumond rules, which must be changed when found to be out of alignment with Yehovah’s Laws. Each of you will develop you own rules for you and your family. I might not agree with them but so long as we are all keeping the 5 rules of the Shmita year then do not judge others who are trying to obey. Let Yehovah judge them. Let Yehovah bless them according to what they do right and what they do wrong. But do not let us go around attacking each other, and especially those who are trying.

I have stocked up my food for the upcoming year. Here in Ontario, Canada, I will use Shavuot as another one of my benchmarks. I will explain in a moment.

Here in Ontario, I will continue to buy and eat apples that were grown in Ontario up until about Shavuot 2023. This means any apples marked as product of Ontario would have been grown and harvested in 2022. New Apples will not be available from Ontario until some time in the summer of 2023. So my cut off date will be Shavuot 2023. Potatoes grown here in Canada either from Ontario or Prince Edward Island, the main place potatoes are grown in Canada will not come on the market until about August. Again, I can use last years stocks up until my cut off date of Shavuot 2023.

Here in Ontario, our lettuce and most fresh fruit and vegetables comes from around the world and take about 7 days to go from being picked to the store. So for me, as of Passover 2023, I will not be eating any fresh greens from the stores. I will eat only what I have already bought before that date which is now passed. Most canned fruits and vegetables are from last years harvest. So canned goods I will continue to stock up on. I believe I will finish this the week after the Days of Unleavened Bread. I know there is no yeast in them, but I have had many problems to resolve with my wife about storing food here in the apartment, which is forcing me to be very precise in all I do.

Now if I am going to use Shavuot as my cut off date for those things grown here in Ontario, then next year when the Sabbatical Year ends at Aviv in 2024, then I also will continue to not eat those things grown in Ontario, until they come into season here locally. For example, I will wait until August before eating Apples again. I will wait until August before I eat new potatoes.

After Aviv 1 in 2024, when fresh strawberries begin to arrive on the store shelves in Ontario I will wait until around the 1st of the second month before I eat them. I am doing this because the shelve life is about a week or two. So if I wait until the 1st of the 2nd month, then those fresh products will have been harvested in 2024 after Aviv, when we can then again harvest. In the past I have waited and to set the date at Shavuot.

Here is an example from the Bible you need to understand and once you do then can decide what to do for yourself. It is upon this understanding that I set the date for myself of Shavuot.

Lev 25:20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase!

Lev 25:21 Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

Lev 25:22 And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old fruit.

The Barley was sown around Sukkoth in the fall. It is harvested after Passover. In a Sabbatical year you could not harvest the barley in the Sabbatical Year. You would not be able to plant in the Sabbatical year in the fall. This then meant you would not have a barley crop the year after the Sabbatical year at Passover. This is now the 8th year. In the fall around Sukkoth in the 8th year, you could plant but would not be able to harvest until Passover in the 9th year.

What ever the crop or food you are desiring to plant or harvest, in what ever part of the world you you live in, you must plant and harvest according to the Sabbatical Year rules from Aviv to Aviv.

So each person must figure out when Strawberries are planted and harvested according to this understanding. When Potatoes are planted according to this understanding. Our society does not obey Yehovah. So each of us must read the labels and decide if this is kosher or not. To this day, I do not drink any wine harvested in the year 2016 or 2009 both Sabbatical years I have kept.

We all must obey. Do the best you can and pray Yehovah helps you to understand and to be able to obey.

If you want to use aquaponics or soilless planting then you must decide if this is kosher or not. I am not going to come up with an entire Targum or set of Tamudic do’s and don’ts. Read the rules or read Lev 25 and then you decide. You are called to be a King and Priest in the Kingdom of Yehovah. As a King and Preist you must uphold the Law of Yehovah and enforce it. As a King or Priest in the Kingdom, is what you are going to do, upholding those laws? Is what you are going to do pleasing to Yehovah? You must decide. I am not your judge.

Php 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Php 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

Php 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings,

Php 2:15 so that you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Among these you shine as lights in the world,

Php 2:16 holding forth the Word of Life, so that I may rejoice with you in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.

Some are asking how to do you travel? When you go to someones home what do you do? YOU can assume that those people are obeying Yehovah and you eat. Or you can pull out your own food from your purse and eat it in front of them. Again I am not your judge. You must decide what to do.

Joshua crossed the Jordan in the 50th year.  He did not plant anything the year before or this year. And yet he ate everything they captured from the cities of the Caananites. They did not obey Yehovah. Joshua ate their food.

There is not commandment telling you you cannot eat. I have given you Joe Dumond rules above. They are not Yehovah’s rules. You must decide what you are going to do.

It Was A Riddle Not A Command

It Was A Riddle Not A Command

Yehshua always spoke in parables publicly.

Matthew 13:34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

He did this on purpose so they would not understand.

Matthew 13:10-17 And the disciples said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables?

He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance. But whoever does not have, from him shall be taken away even that which he has.

Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not; nor do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which said, “By hearing you shall hear and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see and shall not perceive; for this people’s heart has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”

But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear what you hear, and have not heard them.

Yehshua spoke about the 5 Foolish Virgins in a parable.

Matthew 25:11-13 Afterwards the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.

Therefore watch, for you do not know either the day or the hour in which the Son of Man comes.

The expression “No Man Knows the Day or the Hour” is what Yehshua was speaking about in the previous chapter, Matthew 24:36 and here He is using the same expression in this parable again.

This is what most Christians use to dismiss any and all end time prophecies as being false teachings. They do not realize it was a parable meant to say something and hide the truth from those who hearts have grown stupid which is what that word gross means when Isaiah says their hearts have become gross.

Yehshua was telling the foolish they would not and could not know the day or the hour and at the same time telling the wise the precise time He would return on.

The question is which one of the virgins are you?

Order the book and find out which one you are and learn how to change from being a foolish virgin to one of the 5 Wise Virgins.

If you want to understand the Feast of Trumpets…if you want to know about Yehshua birthday, if you want to get the basics understanding of the 10 days of Awe, which we are about publish then you need to read this book as your foundation.

Order the book so you never have to hear the words, I never knew you.

The Countdown Has Already Begun!

The Countdown Has Already Begun!

The Countdown To the Abomination Began March 11, 2020 when W.H.O. announced a world wide pandemic!

 

We are just weeks away from this event taking place. Do you know what to look for, and do you know where to look for it? Are you even watching? It is time to get right with Yehovah now with fasting and prayers and turning back to Him while you have time.

 

THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE must surely qualify as one of the most misinterpreted subjects in the entire Bible. In truth, it is a mystery, as evidenced by the fact that even the prophet Daniel himself did not fully comprehend its meaning. (Daniel 12:8-9)

Clearly, therefore, there is no shame in failing to understand all the details of this major End-Times’ prophetic event. This is where Joseph Dumond’s second book in his Elijah Trilogy comes as such a timely and most befitting word in season. This work is best suited for those who genuinely and in earnest seek after truth, as it provides an accurate compass guiding the reader safely through the maze of all the key End-Times’ prophetic markers that enable one to come into a full understanding of the content therein. As the author leads you step-by-step; you will come to know the true meaning and full import of this earth-shattering event. For starters, you will be impacted by the urgency of the hour, as the timing of this event is just around the corner.

You will marvel in amazement as you have your eyes opened to the true understanding of what is meant by the 70th week of Daniel.
You will find out the true biblical location of the sacrificial altar for the Red Heifer, as well as the most probable timetable for this event. It will come as a revelation for you to learn that it may not necessarily mean a Temple has to be built before this sacrifice is made.

You will discover when the Antichrist intervenes to stop the sacrifices being offered at the altar in Jerusalem, and also, when he plans to set up “The Abomination That Makes Desolate.”

You will also learn when the “Two Witnesses” commence their ministry in Jerusalem, and how Nadab and Abihu—the two sons of Aaron—may have been prophetic symbols of those Two Witnesses.

The strength and beauty of this work is that, unlike so many other authors, Joseph Dumond actually gives answers that pinpoint exactly where we are prophetically today. Not only this, he gives us the tools to prove the answers for ourselves. He does this by demonstrating in the clearest terms aided by his colourful charts that the major KEYS to understanding END-TIMES’ PROPHECY are the Sabbatical and Jubilee Cycles. Most students of the Bible sadly are wholly unaware of their existence. Yet, once you understand these, you are able to—with a significantly improved level of accuracy—pinpoint exactly where we are in these biblical cycles of time. The amazing—or some might even say scary part being—that all of these spectacular, apocalyptic and catastrophic events will be taking place in just a few years from now!

The 1290 Days has already started counting down. Yehshua warned what was going to come next. Get ready!! We are there now and no one is prepared.

If you want a PDF version and you want it now just go to our store and you can begin to read this book as soon as you fill in your information.

Restoration of All Things

Restoration of All Things

TORAH PORTIONS

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:

Deuteronomy 2

Nehemiah 8-10

2 Corinthians 8-9

If you missed last week’s exciting discoveries as we studied that section you can go and watch past Shabbats on our media section.

Spokesman Club Manual

Spokesman Club Manual

At our leadership meeting we discussed how it was going in relationship to letting others speak at sightedmoon.com on Shabbat.

We had a wide range of discussions on it. On the whole, meetings are now too long, is the one complaint I am hearing. We still want to do the midrash and the Torah studies.

Some only want to come and have me teach. This puts a lot of pressure on me to prepare a sermon each and every week. My goal here at sightedmoon.com is to teach people the torah and how the Jubilee Cycles along with the Holy days teach you the plan of salvation. Another goal I have is to have people capable of teaching these things to others.

In order to do the second goal we must have a place for people to practice and fail at giving teachings. This is also why we allow and encourage midrashes. So people know how to argue in love about the many and various false teachings they are going to be presented. Iron sharpening Iron.

I have asked Shane Diltz to help me by looking after this aspect of sightedmoon.com. He organizes the speakers and makes sure their subject is kosher.

Many years ago while I was attending the WWCG, they had this program to teach you how to speak. After our meeting I went out and found it on line. I want to encourage you all to go through it and do each step in the speaking program. Practice on your spouse or on your dog or cat. But practice before you come to give your presentation to us. Practice.

Your goal is to teach us the subject on your heart and to do so in 15 Minutes 20 Minutes TOPS. Going forward we will shut you down after so many minutes. We may give you a one minute warning. But we will shut you down. We want you to learn how to pack your presentation in small but powerful punches. We want you to learn. And we are going to allow you to do so at sightedmoon.com.

Please do look over the manual. Prepare your subject according to one of the learning courses and practice. We look forward to your presentation and growth.

Many of the fonts do not transfer over well, so I will give you the link to the manual and you can read it on the original site. https://www.hwalibrary.com/cgi-bin/get/hwa.cgi?action=getacmanuals&InfoID=1397922400&page=&return=bklets

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.

On the Holy Day, Shavuot, we will be having two meetings. One at 10 AM Eastern and the afternoon will be 2 PM Eastern. Look forward to seeing you all there.

We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

Joseph Dumond is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost

You are witnessing the worldwide calamities on the nightly news every night. Last week it was horrific floods in China which came on the heels of severe drought. Greece witnessed tourists racing into the sea to get away from the wildfires chasing them. Western and Eastern Canada too, were plagued with wildfires, and then flooding in Eastern Canada. Now the news is reporting how more people fled into the sea in Maui, Hawaii. The picture of paradise, ravaged by the scorching of wildfires blown by hurricane winds.

I have been trying to post these news events in Telegram as they happen. I hope you will follow me there as there is not enough room here for them all. You are witnessing the plagues of Yehovah which He warned us about in Leviticus 26. They are mixed with the 7 seals of Revelation. But they are about to get even more severe once 2024 begins.

As we go through these 40 days of repentance and then the final 10 Days of Awe, I pray each of you is sincerely repenting of your straying from Yehovah’s truths and turning back to them with all your heart. What is about to begin is off all the charts on all scales. But those who are His will be protected.

The Apostle Peter warned us that the first time Yehovah cleansed the earth was by flood and the next time it would be by fire which we are now witnessing. Study your Bible and stop all the other things that waste your time.

Leviticus Part 3

Leviticus 6-7

Part 3

by Sombra Wilson

(A:vi, S: v) 4 Sh’ma, Yisra’el! Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, Isra’el! Adonai our God, Adonai is one]; 5 and you are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, all your being and all your resources. 6 These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; 7 and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them on your hand as a sign, put them at the front of a headband around your forehead, 9 and write them on the door-frames of your house and on your gates.

Let’s read Leviticus 6:8-13

The Priests and the Offerings

[8]  The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [9] “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. [10] And the priest shall put on his linen garment and put his linen undergarment on his body, and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar and put them beside the altar. [11] Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. [12] The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. The priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. [13] Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.

We see this in English, and likely in Luo, the first offering this is discussing is a Burnt offering.  But what is that in the Hebrew?  It’s Korban Olah.  This is the same thing we saw in Leviticus 1.  Let’s review the offerings again:

  1. Leviticus 1 is Korban Olah, that is when we willingly put on the Yoke of Yehovah, a free will offering.
  2. Leviticus 2 is the Korban Mincha, that is when we are guided to a place of rest where we can engage in relationships, like around the dinner table, a Meal offering.
  3. Leviticus 3 is the Korban Shalem, a desire for completeness is offered when we bring the Peace offering.
  4. Leviticus 4 is the Korban Chattah, the measurement made against righteousness to find how far we have missed the mark, the Sin Offering
  5. Leviticus 5 is the Korban Asham, like the breath of Yehovah which cleanses the character of a man, the purification offering.

We are still learning about these Rituals

This opening reading of the Parsha called Tzav, which means command, we learn about how the Priests were commanded to bring these offerings.  Notice the commands  begin with what the Priests are to do in the evening.  Remember the day begins in the evening, as the sun goes down.  The first thing we do is to put on that Yoke that we will share with our Heavenly Father.  We willingly join Him in this work and then we rest, we sleep, and then when we wake, we are ready to go. 

Verse 10 tells us the Priest gets dressed, clears the ashes, and then changes his garments to carry the ashes away. Now why does he change his garments?  Remember back in Exodus 39 the Priestly garments were made using Purple, blue and scarlet yarn, hammered gold thread and white linen.  These garments are Holy.  Holy means set apart, consecrated. This means they are not for going out of the temple, they are not for parading around the community, and perhaps coming in contact with something unclean.  So, the Priest wears these holy garments to remove the ashes and place them beside the altar, but then, he has to change into common clothes to then take the ashes to a place specially assigned for the ashes. This word Ashes in Hebrew is Deshen.  It is the FAT that is in abundance which is mixed with the wood ash under the altar.  There is another word Ash in scripture, we find it in Numbers 19:9 where it mentions the Ashes of the Red Heifer.  This word Ashes is Eyfar and it is a different kind of abundance. It is related to the word Par, which we learned last week is the word for Bull. the Aleph Pey means open the head, as in when the grain is threshed and the grain heads are released from the chaff.  The Ashes of the Red Heifer is about Yehovah, our strong authority, releasing us abundantly, whereas these Ashes on the altar which are being removed are heavy with the weight of our korbanot, our approaches to our King.

Having cleared out the ashes, we are ready to start anew and approach Yehovah with this new clean garments, and a new refreshed spirit. The priest keeps the fires burning and then brings a new Korban Olah and Korban Shalem… another free will offering and a peace offering.

Can you see how you and I are to be that Priest?  Can you see this in your own life?  We need to make sure we are yoked to Him as we enter our sleep at sundown.  Sleep is a picture of death, we go to sleep and in the morning we are resurrected to life again. So the last thing we want to do at the end of the day is make sure we are bound to our Messiah and walk step by step with Him, lest we should die in our sleep.  And when we awaken in the morning, again we check our spirit to make sure we are continuing to walk in step yoked with Him, that the fire of passion and love for Yehovah still burns in our hearts.  This leads to peace! This is how we find peace in our hearts, by continually making sure we are making these approaches to our God in our own bodies which is the Temple of Yehovah.

We’ve started this morning service – which is called Shacharit.  The word Shachar means to dawn, daybreak, so Shacharit means morning prayers.  It is related to other similar words which mean “to seek early”, “to search diligently”, “the prime of life” “liberate” “set free”. Is this not exactly the picture of cleaning out the ashes, and making a free will offering and a peace offering and keeping the fires burning?  

I would like to remind you of the Sidur. Philemon has the Sidur and if you open to page 3, we see a prayer for waking in the morning. I have sent him a file he can print off so you all can have a copy.  There are many prayers that follow, and one could spend an hour or so praying through these prayers.  We don’t need to pray all of them, but if we understand the WHY we pray these prayers, it makes it something we would choose to invest our time in. and the WHY is right here in this instruction to the priests about this morning’s Sacrifices they are making.

Let’s keep reading from Leviticus 6:14-23

 (14) “‘This is the law for the grain offering: the sons of Aharon are to offer it before Adonai in front of the altar. (15) He is to take from the grain offering a handful of its fine flour, some of its olive oil and all of the frankincense which is on the grain offering; and he is to make this reminder portion of it go up in smoke on the altar as a fragrant aroma for Adonai. (16) The rest of it Aharon and his sons are to eat; it is to be eaten without leaven in a holy place — they are to eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.  (17) It is not to be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire; like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is especially holy. (18) Every male descendant of Aharon may eat from it; it is his share of the offerings for Adonai made by fire forever through all your generations. Whatever touches those offerings will become holy.’”

(19) Adonai said to Moshe, (20) “This is the offering for Adonai that Aharon and his sons are to offer on the day he is anointed: two quarts of fine flour, half of it in the morning and half in the evening, as a grain offering from then on. (21) It is to be well mixed with olive oil and fried on a griddle; then bring it in, break it in pieces and offer the grain offering as a fragrant aroma for Adonai. (22) The anointed cohen who will take Aharon’s place from among his descendants will offer it; it is a perpetual obligation. It must be entirely made to go up in smoke for Adonai; (23) every grain offering of the cohen is to be entirely made to go up in smoke — it is not to be eaten.”

These priests are told to bring this grain offering, this Korban Mincha, so how are they to do it?  They are to come before the altar and raise handfuls of fine flour.  What does that mean?  Before the altar.  The word “Before” is actually two words, it is Al Paneim.  Al is a man with his hands lifted up. This is a posture of worship. Paneim is the plural word for face.. Faces.  We are lifting up our hands to Him face to face.  That’s what the word translated as “before” is. Our translation fail us, they do not show the intimacy of this moment!.  We are to bring this Korban Mincha al paneim  This meal offering is to be made face to face with Our Father.  And what do we have in our hands that are lifted?  My English version says fine flour, but in Hebrew this word for flour is Soleth. It means something sifted, the choicest fine flour. It means something stripped.  We are to bring to Yehovah, ourselves, with hands raised, the best of ourselves, stripped of our vanity and arrogance, stripped, as in humble. We bring the humble self to a face to face meeting with Yehovah. And we are to do this every morning, and every afternoon.  This is how we become Holy.

Read Leviticus 6:24-30

(24) Adonai said to Moshe, (25) “Tell Aharon and his sons, ‘This is the law for the sin offering: the sin offering is to be slaughtered before Adonai in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is especially holy. (26) The cohen who offers it for sin is to eat it — it is to be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. (27) Whatever touches its flesh will become holy; if any of its blood splashes on any item of clothing, you are to wash it in a holy place. (28) The clay pot in which it is cooked must be broken; if it is cooked in a bronze pot, it must be scoured and rinsed in water. (29) Any male from a family of cohanim may eat the sin offering; it is especially holy. (30) But no sin offering which has had any of its blood brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place is to be eaten; it is to be burned up completely.

Notice this Sin  Offering is to be eaten, whereas the Mincha offering is to be burned up completely.  Why is this sin offering eaten?  The word Awkal is the word eat, it come from the word Kal which means complete.  Awkal has the connotation of being completely consumed or completely believed. This word Cal is made up of the letters Caph and Lamed.  Caph is an open hand representing the bending or subduing of the will.  Lamed is the shepherd’s staff or a yoke. It means “tame for the yoke”. The word Awkal,  shows that through sustenance one becomes whole and satisfied. This eating of the sin offering makes us whole and satisfied, we are completely tame to the Yoke of Yehovah. It is the fuel for our spirit to produce good fruit.

Leviticus 7 :1-7

“‘This is the law for the guilt offering: it is especially holy. 2 They are to slaughter the guilt offering in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, and its blood is to be splashed against all sides of the altar. 3 He is to offer all its fat — the fat tail, the fat covering the inner organs, 4 the two kidneys, the fat on them near the flanks, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys. 5 The cohen will make them go up in smoke on the altar as an offering made by fire to Adonai ; it is a guilt offering. 6 Every male from a family of cohanim may eat it; it is to be eaten in a holy place; it is especially holy. 7 The guilt offering is like the sin offering; the same law governs them — it will belong to the cohen who uses it to make atonement.

Why is this blood of the Tresspass offering, this Korban Asham to be sprinkled or splashed on to the altar? Remember this is a purification offering, and like the blood of Yeshua, His blood covers our sins  Hebrews 10:22 22 Therefore, let us approach the Holiest Place with a sincere heart, in the full assurance that comes from trusting — with our hearts sprinkled clean from a bad conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.[a

This Asam offering has to do with trusting and having full assurance of what Yeshua has done for us.

Now we will jump forward to Leviticus 7:22-27

 22 Adonai said to Moshe, 23 “Say to the people of Isra’el, ‘You are not to eat the fat of bulls, sheep or goats. 24 The fat of animals that die of themselves or are killed by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but under no circumstances are you to eat it. 25 For whoever eats the fat of animals of the kind used in presenting an offering made by fire to Adonai will be cut off from his people. 26 You are not to eat any kind of blood, whether from birds or animals, in any of your homes. 27 Whoever eats any blood will be cut off from his people.’”

Now this short passage is very important. It brings together a few different commandments.  We learned last week that we are not to touch a dead animal for it will make us unclean.  Another thing we need to know is that the life is in the blood

Leviticus 17:11

For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for yourselves; for it is the blood that makes atonement because of the life.’

We are not to eat blood.

Genesis 9:4

only flesh with its life, which is its blood, you are not to eat.

If the animal dies and the blood is not able to be bled from the animal, it pools within the muscles of the animal.  This contaminates the meat, rendering it unclean.  

Deuteronomy 12:23 Just take care not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you are not to eat the life with the meat.

You can sell the dead animal to the pagans, you can use it for dog food or fish bait, you can use the hide to make leather… but you can not eat it yourselves.

And our final reading will be Leviticus 7:37-38

37 This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the consecration offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings 38 which Adonai ordered Moshe on Mount Sinai on the day he ordered the people of Isra’el to present their offerings to Adonai, in the Sinai Desert.

This now concludes for us this set of instructions, these laws, for these rituals. We have seen that these rituals parallel our spiritual journey with our Messiah, and instruct us on how to approach Him.

The Vine

  The Vine

This study is the result of a video a brother sent me about the Jubilee Years. The person doing the teaching makes fun of those who teach about the Jubilee Cycle and how they are not important to keep and how we must focus on the weightier matters and not insignificant things and guessing about prophecy. I was about to turn him off as a waste of time, but then he became a hypocrite saying how there were prophetic clues in not pruning the vines, so I listened a little more. He was right. So I will share this teaching with you but I am not going to bother wasting your time to go watch someone who has no clue about the weightier matters of knowing when the Sabbatical Years are and what they mean.

The word Shemitah in the LXX is the word Aphesis and is the same word used for release, Liberty and Jubilee. If you want to learn what Hebrew word is in Greek use the LXX to find out.

Mat 18:21  Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Until seven times?

What Peter was actually saying was how often should I release him?

The word forgive is the Greek word Aphiemi

G863   (Mounce) ἀφίημι aphiēmi

143x: to send away, dismiss, suffer to depart; to emit, send forth; τὴν φωνήν, the voice, to cry out, utter an exclamation, Mar 15:37; τὸ πνεῦμα, the spirit, to expire, Mat 27:50; to omit, pass over or by; to let alone, care not for, Mat 15:14; Mat 23:23; Heb 6:1; to permit, suffer, let, forbid not; to give up, yield, resign, Mat 5:40; to remit, forgive, pardon; to relax, suffer to become less intense, Rev 2:4; to leave, depart from; to desert, forsake; to leave remaining or alone; to leave behind, i.e. at one’s death, Mar 12:19-22; Joh 14:27.


G863   (Strong) ἀφίημι aphiēmi af-ee’-ay-mee

From G575 and ἵημι hiēmi (to send; an intensive form of εἶμιeimi (to go)); to send forth, in various applications: – cry, forgive, forsake, lay aside, leave, let (alone, be, go, have), omit, put (send) away, remit, suffer, yield up.

This is related to the Hebrew word for liberty release, Shmita. Apheimi is what was done to the goat that was sent away or released.

Mat 6:14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;

Mat 6:15 but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Paul is now going to speak using the Sabbatical and Jubilee language which after 6 years if you wanted to remain in your masters house you had an awl pierce your earlobe to show that you are now his for life. Paul could only talk like this to those who understood the law. Those who do not know the law will not comprehend what Paul is implying without actually saying it. It is just as Peter said.

2Pe 3:15  And think of the long-suffering of our Lord assalvation (as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him

2Pe 3:16  as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction).

As Paul speaks in the  book of Romans, he is talking to those who know the law. Not those who have no clue. They would have to understand how the laws around the Sabbatical years worked in relation to the slaves.

Rom 6:17 But thanks be to our God that you were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

Rom 6:18 Then being made free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness.

Rom 6:19 I speak in the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you have yielded your members as slaves to uncleanness, and to lawless act unto lawless act, even so now yield your members as slaves to righteousness unto holiness.

The word slave is doulos

G1401   (Strong)

δοῦλος

doulos

doo’-los

From G1210; a slave (literally or figuratively, involuntarily or voluntarily; frequently therefore in a qualified sense of subjectionor subserviency): – bond (-man), servant.

Just to be clear this is what Paul is quoting or talking about in Romans. He is using the Torah as the basis for his argument.

Exo 21:2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years. And in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

Exo 21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he was married, then his wife shall go out with him.

Exo 21:4 If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.

Exo 21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons. I do not want to go out free

Exo 21:6 his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door or to the door-post. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

Above we have the Greek word Aphiemi for the Hebrew word release. Now we are talking about bond servants in the above passage and in the next passage, below we are talking about debts.

Deu 15:1 At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.

Deu 15:2 And this is the manner of the release. Every man who has a loan to his neighbor shall release it. He shall not exact it from his neighbor, or from his brother, because it is called Jehovah’s release.

Deu 15:3 You may exact it from a foreigner, but your hand shall release that which is yours with your brother,

Pay attention to when the debts are released. They were released at the end of the Sabbatical year. In other words sin, debts will be released blotted out at the end of the 7th millennium, once Satan is thrown in the lake of fire at the end of the 7th millennium. There will be sin during the 7th millennium and Ezekiel 45 tells us King David is going to make sin sacrifices. So the sins, the debts are released at the end of the Sabbatical year showing us prophetically that Satan will be blotted out as our debts are, at the end of the 7th millennium.

You will require the payment of debts from the stranger. Why?

The word foreigner can also translated as a harlot.

H5237   (Brown-Driver-Briggs)

נכרי

nokrı̂y

BDB Definition:

1) foreign, alien

1a) foreign

1b) foreigner (substantive)

1c) foreign woman, harlot

1d) unknown, unfamiliar (figuratively)

What you are being told is that anyone who is not going to obey the commandments is worshipping another god and is a harlot. Their debts are not forgiven and they will have to pay their own debts in full. Instead of accepting the price Yehshua paid on the tree and blotting out your sins, you will have to pay for your own debts at the end of the 7th millennium on judgment day on The Day of Atonement.

Those in covenant with Yehovah will be forgiven of their debts. Those who are in covenant as brethren and their debts are forgiven and blotted out in the 7th year. But not those who are harlots.

Rev 21:7 He who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

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.

In Exodus is the command for the Sabbatical year and it is compared to the weekly Sabbath. Both of these are showing us the pattern for the 7th millennium.

Exo 23:10 And you shall sow your land six years, and shall gather in the fruits of it.

Exo 23:11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and let it alone, so that the poor of your people may eat. And what they leave, the animals of the field shall eat. In the same way you shall deal with your vineyard and with your oliveyard.

Exo 23:12 You shall do your work six days, and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

The word rest here is where we get the Shmita from.

H8058   (Strong)

שָׁמַט

shâmaṭ

shaw-mat’

A primitive root; to fling down; incipiently to jostle; figuratively to let alone, desist, remit: – discontinue, overthrow, release, let rest, shake, stumble, throw down.

Here is the commandment to keep the Sabbatical Year.

Lev 25:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in Mount Sinai, saying,

Lev 25:2 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to Jehovah.

Lev 25:3 You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and gather in the fruit of it.

Lev 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for Jehovah. You shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.

Lev 25:5 You shall not reap that which grows of its own accord of your harvest, neither gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It is a year of rest to the land.

Lev 25:6 And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you, for you and for your servant, and for your slave woman and for your hired servant, and for your stranger who stays with you,

Lev 25:7 and for your cattle, and for the beast that is in your land, shall all the increase of it be for food.

In verse two you are told you are keeping the Sabbatical Year unto Yehovah. You are today in 2023 now keeping the Sabbatical year for and to Yehovah. You do it as a blessing to Him.

We are to read the Law out loud so everyone can hear it in the Sabbatical year at Sukkot.

Deu 31:9 And Moses wrote this Law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.

Deu 31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying: At the end of seven years, at the set time of the year of release, in the Feast of Tabernacles,

Deu 31:11 when all Israel has come to appear before Jehovah your God in the place which He shall choose, you shall read this Law before all Israel in their hearing.

Deu 31:12 Gather the people, men and women and the little ones, and your stranger who is within your gates, so that they may hear and that they may learn and fear Jehovah your God, and be careful to do all the words of this Law,

Deu 31:13 and that their sons who have not known may hear and learn to fear Jehovah your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over Jordan to possess it.

You are told to assemble on the first day of Sukkot. So this is when we read the law. We let one person read one chapter and then the next one can read. We start at Exodus 19:16 and then go to chapter 24 and then we read all of Leviticus. I would then pick out those chapters in Numbers that contain the laws and then I would read all of Deuteronomy. If you all do this it will take about 4 hours to complete and you will have kept this commandment.

When we go back to read Lev 25 we have more information to glean.

Lev 25:18  And you shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments and do them. And you shall dwell in the land in safety.

Lev 25:19  And the land shall yield its fruits, and you shall eat your fill and dwell in it in safety.

Lev 25:20  And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase!

Lev 25:21  Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

Lev 25:22  And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old fruit.

From this we learn that there is no harvesting in the 7th year and we have food stored up for the 7th and the 8th year and enough until the 9th year when the crops which you planted in the 8th year can be harvested. You can’t plant in the 7th year. You are not to prune anything in the 7th year. This is what we are zeroing in on.

Concerning the three fold harvest consider the following. Yehshua is talking as if you understood the Sabbatical Year concept and as such he now says the following about the 6th year

Mat 9:36 But seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were tired and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.

Mat 9:37 Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few.

Mat 9:38 Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He will send out laborers into His harvest.

We are now at the end of the 6th millennium. In 2045 the 7th Millennium of rest is to begin. Yehshua is telling us that right now we can expect a three fold harvest of Saints coming to obey and to know His word. They will obey the commandments. How much is three fold?

In Revelation 7 we are told that from Israel there will be 144,000, saved, or 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes. But then after this we are told of something else. There is going to come out of the Great Tribulation an innumerable multitude. We can count a 200 million man army so this innumerable multitude is great than 200 million.

Rev 7:9 After these things I looked, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palms in their hands.

Rev 7:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.

Rev 7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne on their faces and worshiped God,

Rev 7:12 saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen.

Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are arrayed in white robes, and from where do they come?

Rev 7:14 And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes, and have whitened them in the blood of the Lamb.

Rev 7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His temple. And He sitting on the throne will dwell among them.

Rev 7:16 They will not hunger any more, nor thirst any more, nor will the sun light on them, nor any heat.

Rev 7:17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them and will lead them to the fountains of living waters. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

When Yehshua is talking about the wedding He is in fact saying the same thing John would say in Revelation much later. Read this carefully.

Mat 22:1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said,

Mat 22:2 The kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who made a marriage for his son.

Mat 22:3 And he sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they would not come.

Mat 22:4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage.

Mat 22:5 But not caring, they went their ways, one to his field, another to his trading.

Mat 22:6 And the rest took his servants and treated them spitefully, and killed them.

Mat 22:7 But when the king heard, he was angry. And he sent out his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

Yehovah has invited Israel to the wedding and they will not come. Israel has killed the prophets sent to her. This is why only 144,000 of all 12 tribes are chosen. That number is very low when you compare it to the world populations today. Now read what Yehovah does to Israel and then how He fills the seats.

Mat 22:8 Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.

Mat 22:9 Therefore go into the exits of the highways, and as many as you shall find, invite them to the marriage.

Mat 22:10 So the servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with reclining guests.

Mat 22:11 And the king coming in to look over the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

Mat 22:12 And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Mat 22:13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few chosen.

The highways and byways are the innumerable multitude that are going to be taken from around the world. This is why I am working so hard to help the Philippines realize their destiny who according to Isaiah 55 are about to run to Yehovah. And they are already in every nation around the world now. The Filipinos are very religious towards Yehovah and love Israel. The majority of them accept the Feasts but do not yet keep the Sabbath and Holy Days. And this is where you all come in. You are the few labours  and you need to teach them so they will be heard by Yehovah and then run to Him. Yehovah will not accept them if they will not obey. So they must be keeping the commandments.

We need all hands on deck right now. There is no time for you to sit back and watch. You got to get to work and help now.

Lev 25:20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase!

Lev 25:21 Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

If you do not prepare for the 7th year you are going to starve in the following years. Also those doing this work now, must process the food so that it does not rot. You must prepare the harvest for a proper storage. We need teachers NOW. We need you to work now and help those doing a work, do it NOW!!!

Luk 19:15 And when he had received his kingdom and had returned, then it happened that he commanded these servants to be called to him; the ones to whom he had given the silver; so that he might know what each had gained by trading.

Luk 19:16 And came the first, saying, Lord, your mina has gained ten minas.

Luk 19:17 And he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you have been faithful in a least thing, have authority over ten cities.

Luk 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina has made five minas.

Luk 19:19 And he said the same to him, You be over five cities.

Luk 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your mina, which I have kept in a handkerchief.

Luk 19:21 For I feared you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.

Luk 19:22 And he said to him, I will judge you out of your own mouth, wicked servant! You knew that I was a harsh man, taking up what I had not laid down and reaping what I did not sow.

Luk 19:23 And why did you not give my silver on the bank table, and coming I might have exacted it with interest?

Luk 19:24 And he said to those who stood by, Take the mina from him and give it to him who has ten minas.

Luk 19:25 And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

Luk 19:26 For I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given. And from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken from him.

Luk 19:27 But those who are my enemies, who did not desire that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

Those lazy at harvest time are like those who bury their talents in the 6th year and do not help those doing a work. Sightedmoon.com is doing a work and we need help.  We need much much help to reach others. You can share our messages and videos on fb and other social media platforms. You can help by bringing others to sign up for this news letter in every language. You can translate into other languages. There are things you can do. Find some way some thing to help spread this work.

Understand, the work you did in the 6th year is going to go into the 8th year. Think of the people you taught and the work we did at sightedmoon.com in the 6th year and how it will last until the 8th year spiritually. So let’s get to work and be prepared to bring in a huge harvest, from that innumerable multitude.

We are not to prune in the 7th year our vines. Grapes need to be pruned in order to produce or be encouraged to produce more fruit. During the Sabbatical year you can see which vines will continue to produce on their own without the need for encouragement. and which one will not and how they go wild. How they go off chasing rabbit holes to nowhere.

Joh 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

Joh 15:2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bring forth more fruit.

Joh 15:3 Now you are clean through the Word which I have spoken to you.

Joh 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

Joh 15:5 I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Joh 15:6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Joh 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.

Joh 15:8 In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.

Joh 15:9 As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love.

Joh 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

Joh 15:11 I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.

Joh 15:12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

In the 7th Millennium there will be no pruning. Ask yourself what does Yehovah use to prune us?

Yehovah uses Satan to prune us. He used Satan to test Job. He uses Satan to test us.

1Co 5:5 to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Peter was also pruned and then he did a great work for Yehovah.

Luk 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired you, that he may sift you as wheat.

Luk 22:32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not. And when you are converted, strengthen your brothers.

During the 7th millennium Satan is not going to be around to prune us. We will be left alone.

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.

For the millennium we will not be pruned and we will live under Yehovah’s rules. Israel has been compared to a vineyard.

Isa 5:1 Now I will sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard. My Beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.

Isa 5:2 And He fenced it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with choice vines, and built a tower in its midst, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and He looked for it to produce grapes. And it produced wild grapes.

Isa 5:3 And now, O people of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, please judge between Me and My vineyard.

Isa 5:4 What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Who knows? I looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded rotten grapes.

Isa 5:5 And now I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard; I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down;

Isa 5:6 and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor dug; but briers and thorns shall come up. And I will command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.

Isa 5:7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant plant; and He looked for justice, but behold bloody iniquity; for righteousness, but behold a cry!

But even after the millennium the vineyard is still going to produce rotten grapes.

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be loosed out of his prison.

Rev 20:8 And he will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of them is as the sand of the sea.

Rev 20:9 And they went up over the breadth of the earth and circled around the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of Heaven and devoured them.

Rev 20:10 And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were . And he will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

At the end of the 7th year you’re going to give your grape vines a severe pruning right at the start of the 8th year. At the end of the 7th millennium Yehovah is going to give His vineyard a severe pruning. This is the Great White Throne Judgment. Our work that we are doing now is going to go into the 8th millennium. We need a lot of workers to help with the harvest.

I would like to remind you all about a dream I wrote about in the Mystery of the Jewish Rapture 2033 on page 38.

The following year, in 2009, I was co-hosting the Feast at a certain hostel known as The Petra in the Old City of Jerusalem and we had approximately 170 people show up. At this time, yet another lady came up to me to tell me she had recently had a dream about me. In her dream, all the leaders of Israel were gathered in Jerusalem at the Temple to have a meeting and they kept asking where I was. Then, one person said I was coming, but that I was out amongst the Gentiles gathering more to bring to Jerusalem.

The innumerable multitude is waiting for us to plant the seeds in their minds about Yehovah’s truths. It is planting season right now and we will not see our crop until the end of the Tribulation. So we have a lot of work to get doing and get doing right now. Please step up and begin to help. You do not have to reinvent the wheel. Just guide them to our web site and our youtube videos. Let those tools do the work and we go out and find yet more. More than 200 million. May Yehovah bless each one of you as go about doing His work gathering those He is calling in these last days.

    Shalom brother Joe, in the section of this newsletter, “The Vine,” you write the following:

    “As Paul speaks in the book of Romans, he is talking to those who know the law. Not those who have no clue.”

    I completely agree. It reminded me of another verse in Romans that states that fact very clearly.

    Rom 7:1Are you unaware, brothers (for I am speaking to people who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over one as long as one lives?

    Sadly, most Christians are incorrectly taught about Paul and entirely miss the point of this, as well as his other teachings.

    I’ve been thinking, you said don’t reinvent the wheel, send them to the website. But I have another thought. I did meet some Filipinos who run a gas station near me. I did tell the about the website, but I’m thinking I may need to invite them to Shabbat dinner, or to come sit for a Shabbat Zoom meeting. If the Filipinos are all over the world, they are likely in everyone’s community. Just reach out and make a connection. If you can speak about the bible anywhere in the Philippines, then likely it’s easy to strike up a conversation about God with the Filipinos in your community too.
