Joh 14:3 Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also. Joh 14:4 Furthermore, you know where I'm going; and you know the way there."

Zec 13:7 "Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me," says Adonai-Tzva'ot. "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will turn my hand against the young ones. Zec 13:8 In time, throughout that land," says Adonai, "two-thirds of those in it will be destroyed — they will die, but one-third will remain. Zec 13:9 That third part I will bring through the fire; I will refine them as silver is refined, I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'This is my people' and they will say, 'Adonai is my God.' "


Zec 14:1-15…Zec 14:16 Finally, everyone remaining from all the nations that came to attack Yerushalayim will go up every year to worship the king, Adonai-Tzva'ot, and to keep the festival of Sukkot. Zec 14:17 If any of the families of the earth does not go up to Yerushalayim to worship the king, Adonai-Tzva'ot, no rain will fall on them. Zec 14:18 If the family of Egypt doesn't go up, if they refuse to come, they will have no [annual] overflow [from the Nile]; moreover, there will be the plague with which Adonai will strike the nations that don't go up to keep the festival of Sukkot.


The Feast of Trumpets in biblical times was celebrated in a far more festive fashion than it is today. Although this is a two-day holiday, preparations for this feast begin a full month in advance. On the Jewish cal-endar is a forty-day season called Teshuvah (return or repentance). It begins on Elul 1 and ends on the Day of Atonement (Tishri 10). This forty-day sea-son is a time for one to annually examine his life and restore relationshipsbetween God and man. The first thirty days of this season are the thirty days of the month of Elul. The last ten days of this forty-day season are the Feast of Trumpets and Day of Atonement or the ten High Holy Days (Days of Awe).


What is Elul?"Elul" is the Sixth Month of the year, counting from "Nisan," called in the Chumash, "the first month." Counting from "Tishrei", the month of Rosh HaShanah, "Elul" is the twelfth, and last month in the year. Like the names of the other months of the Hebrew Calendar, "Elul came up", or "returned with," those Jews who returned to Israel from the 70-year Exile in Babylonia. The expression "returned with" is particularly significant in this case in that this is the month of "Return to Hashem," or "Repentance."Elul is the name of the month which we are given each year to prepare for the "Days of Awe:"

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYSPsa 81:1 [For the Leader. On the gittit. By Asaf:] Sing for joy to God our strength! Shout to the God of Ya`akov! Psa 81:2 Start the music! Beat the drum!

The sound from the shofar is broken, a series of staccato blasts. The broken sound is said to remind the people they need to break their evil inclinations.

The shape of the shofar is not straight like a trumpet. The end is curved and bent as a reminder to bend in respect to God.

The sound is meant to be a rousing call to repentance on the part of each individual. It is meant to awaken everyone to make them remember the Creator and forsake evil ways and return to God. The sound is also meant to inspire. It is a reminder that man should strive to break the impulses of his heart which are evil with the sinful cravings of the world.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS Tekiah—A pure unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart, abandon his evil ways, and seek forgiveness through repentance.

Shevarim—A broken, staccato, trembling sound. It typifies the sorrow that comes to man when he realizes his wrong and desires to change his ways. Teruah—A wave-like sound of alarm calling upon man to stand by the banner of God. Tekiah Gedolah: "the great Tekiah," a single unbroken blast, held as long as possible. (A combination of Tekiah, Shevarim, Teruah, ending with a Tekiah Gedolah.)

The Use of the Shofar in the BibleThe shofar or ram's horn, has always held a prominent role in the history of G-d's people in the Bible: The Torah was given to Israel with the sound of the shofar (Exodus [Shemot] 19:19). Israel conquered in the battle of Jericho with the blast of the shofar (Joshua 6:20). Israel will be advised of the advent of the Messiah with the sound of the shofar (Zechariah 9:14,16). The shofar will be blown at the time of the ingathering of the exiles of Israel to their place (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 27:13). The shofar was blown to signal the assembly of the Israelites during war (Judges [Shoftim] 3:27; 2 Samuel 20:1). The watchman who stood upon Jerusalem's walls blew the shofar (Ezekiel [Yechezekel] 33:3-6). The shofar was blown at the start of the Jubilee year (Leviticus [Vayikra] 25:9). The shofar is a reminder that G-d is sovereign (Psalm [Tehillim] 47:5).


The Use of the Shofar in the BibleThe ram's horn, the shofar, is a reminder of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac and God's provision of a ram as a substitute (Genesis [Bereishit] 22:13). The shofar was blown to announce the beginning of festivals (Numbers [Bamidbar] 10:10). The shofar was blown to celebrate the new moon on Rosh HaShanah (Psalm 81:1-3). The blowing of the shofar is a signal for the call to repentance (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 58:1). The blowing of the shofar ushers in the day of the Lord (Joel 2:1). John was taken up to Heaven in the Book of Revelation by the sound of the shofar (Revelation 4:1). Seven shofarim are sounded when G-d judges the earth during the tribulation (Revelation 8-9). The shofar was used for the coronation of kings (1 Kings [Melachim] 1:34,39).

(Rev 8:8) The second angel sounded his shofar, and what looked like an enormous blazing mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood, (Rev 8:10) The third angel sounded his shofar; and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky onto a third of the rivers and onto the springs of water. (Rev 8:12) The fourth angel sounded his shofar; and a third of the sun was struck, also a third of the moon and a third of the stars; so that a third of them were darkened, the day had a third less light, and the night likewise.

Lev 23:23-25

On the first day of the seventh month there was to be shabbathon, rest, i.e., a day of rest (see Exo_16:23), a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation, the suspension of laborious work, and the offering of a firing for Yehovah, which are still more minutely described in the calendar of festal sacrifices in Num_29:2-6. הPעR Uרו Rת, a joyful noise, from XעR to make רוa noise, is used in Lev_23:24 for הPעR Uרו Rת .a blast of trumpets ,ש]ZופPרOn this day the shophar was to be blown, a blast of trumpets to be appointed for a memorial before Yehovah (Num_10:10), i.e., to call the congregation into remembrance before Yehovah, Num 10:8 It will be the sons of Aharon, the cohanim, who are to sound the trumpets; this will be a permanent regulation for you through all your generations. Num 10:9 "When you go to war in your land against an adversary who is oppressing you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets; then you will be remembered before Adonai your God, and you will be saved from your enemies. Num 10:10 "Also on your days of rejoicing, at your designated times and on Rosh-Hodesh, you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; these will be your reminder before your God. I am Adonai your God.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYSThe seventh month of the year, like the seventh day of the week, was consecrated as a Sabbath or sabbatical month, by a holy convocation and the suspension of labour, which were to distinguish the first day of the seventh month from the beginning of the other months or the other new moon days throughout the year.

For the whole month was sanctified in the first day, as the beginning or head of the month; and by the sabbatical observance of the commencement, the whole course of the month was raised to a Sabbath.


the seventh month was to secure to the congregation the complete atonement for all its sins, and the wiping away of all the uncleannesses which separated it from its God, viz., on the day of atonement, which fell within this month, and to bring it a foretaste of the blessedness of life in fellowship with the Lord,

viz., in the feast of Tabernacles, which commenced five days afterwards. This significant character of the seventh month was indicated by the trumpet-blast, by which the congregation presented the memorial of itself loudly and strongly before Yehovah on the first day of the month, that He might bestow upon them the promised blessings of His grace, for the realization of His covenant.


Yom HaDin: The Day of JudgmentAnother name for Rosh HaShanah is Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment. It was seen that on this day, G-d would sit in court and all men would pass before Him to be judged. Three great books will be opened as each man is weighed in the balance and placed into one of three categories (Talmud, Rosh HaShanah 6b). It has been taught that the school of Shammai says that there will be three classes on the final Day of Judgment, one of the wholly righteous, one of the wholly wicked, and one of the intermediates. The wholly righteous are at once inscribed and sealed for life in the world to come; the wholly wicked are at once inscribed and sealed for perdition (Talmud, Rosh HaShanah 16b-17a).


Yom HaKeseh: The Hidden DayIn Psalm (Tehillim) 27:5 it is written, "For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock." Yet another name for Rosh HaShanah is Yom HaKeseh, "The Day of the Hiding" or "the Hidden Day." The term keseh or keceh is derived from the Hebrew root kacah, which means to "conceal, cover, or hide." Every day during the month of Elul, a trumpet is blown to warn the people to turn back to G-d, except for the thirtieth day of Elul, the day preceding Rosh HaShanah. On that day the trumpet is not blown, and is therefore silent. This is because much about Rosh HaShanah is concealed and shrouded in mystery. The mystical aspect of Rosh HaShanah is indicated in Scripture: "Sound the shofar on the New Moon, in concealment of the day of our festival" (Psalm [Tehillim] 81:3). Satan, the accuser, is not to be given notice about the arrival of Rosh HaShanah, the Day of Judgment.


Yom HaZikkaron: The Day of RemembranceRosh HaShanah is known as Yom HaZikkaron, the Day of Remembrance. Leviticus (Vayikra) 23:24 calls the day "a memorial" (zikkaron). Remembrance is a major theme in the Bible. We can see by examining the following Scriptures that G-d remembers us and that we are to remember G-d in all of our ways. There are two elements of remembrance:a) G-d remembers us (Genesis [Bereishit] 8:1; 9:1, 5-16; 19:29; 30:22; Exodus [Shemot] 2:24-25; 3:1; 6:2,5; 32:1-3,7,11,13-14; Leviticus [Vayikra] 26:14,31-33,38-45; Numbers [Bamidbar] 10:1-2,9; Psalm [Tehillim] 105:7-8,42-43; 112:6). In fact, G-d has a book of remembrance (Exodus [Shemot] 32:32-33; Malachi 3:16-18; Revelation 3:5; 20:11-15; 21:1,27).b) We must remember G-d (Exodus [Shemot] 13:3; 20:8; Deuteronomy [Devarim] 7:17-19; 8:18; 16:3; Numbers [Bamidbar] 15:37-41).

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYSTHE CHURCHThe righteous will be protected during the tribulation period. The wicked will face the wrath of G-d during the tribulation period (Yamim Nora'im), known in Hebrew as the Chevlai shel Mashiach, and will never repent. The average person has until Yom Kippur till his fate is sealed forever. In other words, the average person will have until the end of the seven-year tribulation to repent and turn to G-d. The average person on Rosh HaShanah is judged by G-d and is neither written in the book of life or the book of the wicked. His fate is yet to be decided. The average person and the wicked have to go through the "Awesome Days," the tribulation, until they reach Yom Kippur (the end of the tribulation when their fate is sealed forever). Once you are written in the book of the wicked, you can never get out of it (Revelation 17:8). These are people who never, ever, will accept the Messiah Yeshua.


THE CHURCHA theme and term associated with Rosh HaShanah in Hebrew is HaMelech (the King). The shofar blown on Rosh HaShanah is known as the last trump, which Rav Sha'ul (the apostle Paul) mentioned in First Thessalonians 4:16-17. At this time, the believers in the Messiah who are righteous (tzaddikim) according to Yom HaDin (the Day of Judgment) will be taken to Heaven in the rapture (natzal) along with the righteous who had died before this time. On Rosh HaShanah, the coronation of the Messiah Yeshua as King will happen in Heaven (Revelation 5). Yeshua, who had come to earth during His first coming to play the role of the suffering Messiah, Messiah ben Joseph (Yosef), will be crowned as King over all the earth in preparation for His coming back to earth to reign as King Messiah (Messiah ben David) during the Messianic age, the Millennium, or in Hebrew eschatology, the Athid Lavo (Revelation 19:16; 20:4).


THE WEDDINGMat 25:1 "The Kingdom of Heaven at that time will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. Mat 25:2 Five of them were foolish and five were sensible. Mat 25:3 The foolish ones took lamps with them but no oil, Mat 25:4 whereas the others took flasks of oil with their lamps. Mat 25:5 Now the bridegroom was late, so they all went to sleep. Mat 25:6 It was the middle of the night when the cry rang out, 'The bridegroom is here! Go out to meet him!' Mat 25:7 The girls all woke up and prepared their lamps for lighting. Mat 25:8 The foolish ones said to the sensible ones, 'Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.' Mat 25:9 'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both you and us. Go to the oil dealers and buy some for yourselves.' Mat 25:10 But as they were going off to buy, the bridegroom came. Those who were ready went with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. Mat 25:11 Later, the other bridesmaids came. 'Sir! Sir!' they cried, 'Let us in!' Mat 25:12 But he answered, 'Indeed! I tell you, I don't know you!' Mat 25:13 So stay alert, because you know neither the day nor the hour.

Does rav. Sha’ul speak against keeping the Torah?

Act 25:8 In reply, Sha'ul said, "I have committed no offense — not against the Torah to which the Jews hold, not against the Temple, and not against the Emperor."


Does rav. Sha’ul speak against keeping the Torah? What does this phrase mean

in the passage below?

1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, argued like a child; now that I have become a man, I have finished with childish ways. 1Co 13:12 For now we see obscurely in a mirror, but then it will be face to face. Now I know partly; then I will know fully, just as God has fully known me. 1Co 13:13 But for now, three things last — trust, hope, love; and the greatest of these is love.


Lev 23:23 Adonai said to Moshe, Lev 23:24 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'In the seventh month, the first of the month is to be for you a day of complete rest for remembering, a holy convocation announced with blasts on the shofar. Lev 23:25 Do not do any kind of ordinary work, and bring an offering made by fire to Adonai.' " Lev 23:26 Adonai said to Moshe, Lev 23:27 "The tenth day of this seventh month is Yom-Kippur; you are to have a holy convocation, you are to deny yourselves, and you are to bring an offering made by fire to Adonai. Lev 23:28 You are not to do any kind of work on that day, because it is Yom-Kippur, to make atonement for you before Adonai your God. Lev 23:29 Anyone who does not deny himself on that day is to be cut off from his people; Lev 23:30 and anyone who does any kind of work on that day, I will destroy from among his people. Lev 23:31 You are not to do any kind of work; it is a permanent regulation through all your generations, no matter where you live. Lev 23:32 It will be for you a Shabbat of complete rest, and you are to deny yourselves; you are to rest on your Shabbat from evening the ninth day of the month until the following evening."


In the Bible, Yom Kippur bears three names: the Day of Atonement, the Day of Judgment, and the Sabbath of Sabbaths. Yom Kippur occurs on the tenth day of the 7 month (Tishri). This is a holy day of the Lord that remains "a statute forever." Day of Atonement is the day in which the people of Israel are to be judged by God and the sins of the nation of Israel are atoned. The Day of Atonement is also referred to as "the Day of Redemption." This day pictures the transference of sin. It is a time of fasting, cleansing, and reflection which is to be observed once a year.

Yom Kippur is a day designed to bring Jews closer to God and encourages return to him through the process of Teshuvah. Though the Yom Kippur service was, during the times of the Temple, focused around the Kohen Gadol, today each individual focuses on himself and his personal Avodah, service to God.


Lev 16:29 "It is to be a permanent regulation for you that on the tenth day of the seventh month you are to deny yourselves and not do any kind of work, both the citizen and the foreigner living with you. Lev 16:30 For on this day, atonement will be made for you to purify you; you will be clean before Adonai from all your sins. Lev 16:31 It is a Shabbat of complete rest for you, and you are to deny yourselves. "This is a permanent regulation.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURThe Day of Atonement in Bible Times

The high priest is entirely responsible for the Day of Atonement. He beganpreparing for this day a week early. He stayed in the high priest chamber in the temple court and studied the laws of the Day of Atonement. It was very important the priest not make a mistake. An error could cost him his life and the nation of Israel's atonement. The high priest spoke a word this day that was unspeakable all other times. During the services he voiced the Holy name of God, YHVH or Yahveh ten times during the ceremony. When the people heard the Holy Name they fell on the ground in reverence.


The Day of Atonement in Bible Times

The interior of Solomon's Temple was rectangular, about 35 feet wide and140 feet long. It was divided into three parts. The priest would have enteredthe porch, which was about 17 feet deep. He would then pass through gild-ed Cyprus doors decorated with flowers, palm trees, and cherubim, andenter the main room of the Temple—often called the Holy Place. Beyond aset of olive wood doors lay the room no ordinary priest would ever see. Thiswas the Holy of Holies. It was a perfect cube, with each side measuring nearly 35 feet. In it was the Ark, containing the two tablets of stone of the Ten Commandments (Guinness 1988).

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURThe Day of Atonement in Bible TimesThe Holy of Holies was entered only once a year, on the Day of Atonement,when the high priest made atonement for the people. This was the great solemn day that the high priest put aside his official robes and dressed in a simple white garment. To fulfill the law of the Bible, he wore eightgarments on this day (Lev. 8:7; Ex. 28:33-35).1. The golden crown on his forehead. 2. The breastplate on his heart.3. The outer robe decorated with pomegranates andbells (the people listened for the bells while thepriest was in the Holy of Holies to be sure thepriest was still alive).4. The apron or vest.5. Four white garments made from white flax.6. The belt.7. The turban.8. Pants.


The Day of Atonement in Bible TimesTHE TWO GOATS (Vaiyikra 16:1-22)After purifying the holy place and the altar of burnt offering with the min-gled blood of the bullock, the High Priest went to the eastern side of the court in front of the Temple. Facing him were two identical goats. Nearby was a lottery box especially designed for this ceremony. In the box were two tablets (lots). One bore the name "For God," the other "For azazel" (the scapegoat).The high priest shook the box and withdrew the tablets, putting one tabletin front of each goat. The goat labeled "for God" was sacrificed. The priestlaid his hands upon the goat's head labeled "for azazel" and confessed overit the sins of Israel. The scapegoat symbolically bore the sins of the nation ofIsrael away from the people. This goat, commonly called the scapegoat (i.e.escape goat), was then driven into the desert.



THE TWO GOATS (Vaiyikra 16:1-22) Azazel: The Scapegoat

The Hebrew word for scapegoat is azazel. Azazel was seen as a type of satan .The sins of the people and thus the punishment of the people were laid upon azazel the scapegoat. He would bear the sins of the people and the punishment of the people would be upon him. Azazel being sent into the wilderness is understood to be a picture of satan (Ha satan) being cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20). Let's take a closer look at this ceremony found in Leviticus (Vayikra) 16:7-10. In Leviticus (Vayikra) 16:8, the first lot said, "La Adonai" (To the Lord). The second lot said, "La Azazel" (To the scapegoat). The high priest (Cohen HaGadol) took the two golden lots, one marked La Adonai and the other marked La Azazel, and placed one upon the head of each animal, sealing their fate.


Messianic Understanding Matthew 25:31-46. God gave this ceremony of the casting of lots during Yom Kippur to teach us how He will judge the nations of the world prior to the Messianic age known as the Millennium. The nations of the world will be judged according to how they followed Adonai. Those nations who mistreated the Jews will be goat nations and they will go into the left hand. Those nations that stood beside the Jewish people will be sheep nations and will enter into the Messianic kingdom or the Millennium. Yeshua taught us about this in Matthew 25:31-46. Yeshua during His first coming was a type of the goat marked La Adonai. Yeshua was a sin offering to us as G-d laid upon Him the sins of the whole world (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 53:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Galatians 1:3-4; Hebrews 2:17; 1 John [Yochanan] 2:2; 4:10).

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURThe Day of Atonement in Bible TimesTradition states that a cord of red wool was tied on the horn of the scapegoat, before it was let go in the wilderness. When the red wool turned white, it was a sign that God forgave the people's sin. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (Isa. 1:18).The Priests used to bind a shining crimson strip of cloth on the outside doorof the Temple. If the strip of cloth turned into the white color, they wouldrejoice; if it did not turn white they were full of sorrow and shame (TractateYoma 67a).


The Day of Atonement in Bible TimesIn the ceremony of the two goats, the two goats were considered as one offering. A crimson sash was tied around the horns of the goat marked azazel. At the appropriate time, the goat was led to a steep cliff in the wilderness and shoved off the cliff. In connection with this ceremony, an interesting tradition arose that is mentioned in the Mishnah. A portion of the crimson sash was attached to the door of the temple (Beit HaMikdash) before the goat was sent into the wilderness. The sash would turn from red to white as the goat met its end, signaling to the people that G-d had accepted their sacrifices and their sins were forgiven. This was based upon Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 1:18. As stated earlier, the Mishnah tells us that 40 years before the destruction of the temple (Beit HaMikdash), the sash stopped turning white. This, of course, was when Yeshua was slain on the tree.



Jewish literature explains the Shekhina glory of God left the Temple fortyyears prior to its destruction. Three signs occurred to show evidence of this:1.) The western candle of the menorah refused to burn continually. 2.) Thedoors of the Temple would open of themselves. 3.) The red wool no longerturned white supernaturally. This is especially significant because it indi-cated that God was no longer forgiving the sins of His people. The peoplewere sorrowful because they began to realize more and more that the sacri-fice of Yom Kippur did not have the power to cleanse their sinful hearts.That very year Jesus started His ministry, the very year that the blood ofbulls and goats was no longer accepted as a sacrifice for the atonement ofsin!


Face to Face The high priest (Cohen HaGadol) could only go into the Holy of Holies once a year (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:2; Hebrews 9:6-7). (G-d issued a warning that no man could see His face and live (Exodus [Shemot] 33:20). But because on the Day of Atonement the priest could be in G-d's presence (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:2), another term for the Day of Atonement is "face to face." By the time of the second temple, this ritual [the high priest's (Cohen HaGadol) ceremony] had been somewhat elaborated, and one crucial element had been added to it. That element was that on three separate occasions, in a grand crescendo, the high priest appeared before the people, and three times he recited a formula of confession in their hearing. The first confession was on the account of his own sins and those of his household; the second, on the account of the priestly tribe of Levi; the third, on the account of the whole people.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURFace to Face On this occasion only, in the entire year, the confession included the priest's saying aloud the name of God embodied in the Hebrew letters YHVH (called the Tetragrammaton). This was the name that God gave and explained to Moses (Moshe) at the burning bush, the name that was a kind of distillation of "I am Becoming Who I am Becoming," the name that was not a name in the sense of a label by which God could be called and controlled, and therefore the name that could not be said aloud. It was, therefore, all year long euphemized by saying, whenever YHVH appeared in the text, or invocation, Adonai, The Lord. Only on Yom Kippur was the name said, aloud, in all its original awesomeness.


Face to Face Heb 3:1 Therefore, brothers whom God has set apart, who share in the call from heaven, think carefully about Yeshua, whom we acknowledge publicly as God's emissary and as cohen gadol.

Rather than wearing his usual robe and colorful garments (described in Exodus [Shemot] 28 and Leviticus [Vayikra] 8:1-8), Aaron was commanded to wear special garments of linen (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:4). Yeshua was seen wearing the same thing in Revelation 1:13-15.

Rev 1:12 I turned around to see who was speaking to me; and when I had turned, I saw seven gold menorahs; Rev 1:13 and among the menorahs was someone like a Son of Man, wearing a robe down to his feet and a gold band around his chest. Rev 1:14 His head and hair were as white as snow-white wool, his eyes like a fiery flame, Rev 1:15 his feet like burnished brass refined in a furnace, and his voice like the sound of rushing waters. Daniel also saw this and described it in Daniel 10:5-6.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURFace to Face Daniel also saw this and described it in Daniel 10:5-6.

Dan 10:4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was on the bank of the great river, the Tigris, Dan 10:5 when I looked up, and there before me was a man dressed in linen wearing a belt made of fine Ufaz gold. Dan 10:6 His body was like beryl, his face looked like lightning and his eyes like fiery torches; his arms and feet were the color of burnished bronze; and when he spoke, it sounded like the roar of a crowd.


Face to Face (1 Corinthians 13:9-12).Both verse 11 and the phrase in verse 12, "For now we see through a glass, darkly" come from the Jewish Midrash. "Face to Face" is the title of a chapter in Arthur Waskow's book, Seasons of Our Joy, on the topic of Yom Kippur. "Face to face" is an idiom for Yom Kippur. Why? It was on Yom Kippur that the high priest had to go behind the veil of the temple. At that moment, the nation had to hold its breath because the nation's fate depended upon G-d's accepting the sacrifice. At that point, the high priest was "face to face with the mercy seat of G-d." When the high priest (Cohen HaGadol) entered the Holy of Holies, he saw the L-rd's presence as a brilliant cloud hovering above the mercy seat (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:2). The word for mercy seat in Hebrew is kapporet. It comes from the root word kaphar, which is the same word used for "atonement." The mercy seat can also be translated as the seat of atonement. The mercy seat is described in detail in Exodus (Shemot) 25:17-22 and 37:6-9. This is the place where Moses (Moshe) met and spoke with G-d face to face (Exodus [Shemot] 25:22; 30:6; Numbers [Bamidbar] 7:89).


Face to Face Therefore, when the high priest stood before God on this day, he was said to be "face to face" with God. Because of this, Yom Kippur became known by the phrase "face to face." "Face to face" terminology was used in First Corinthians 13:9-12, as it is written: 1Co 13:9 For our knowledge is partial, and our prophecy partial; 1Co 13:10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass. 1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, argued like a child; now that I have become a man, I have finished with childish ways. 1Co 13:12 For now we see obscurely in a mirror, but then it will be face to face. Now I know partly; then I will know fully, just as God has fully known me. Both verse 11 and the phrase in verse 12, "For now we see through a glass, darkly" come from the Jewish Midrash. Face to face" is an idiom for Yom Kippur. Why? It was on Yom Kippur that the high priest had to go behind the veil of the temple. At that moment, the nation had to hold its breath because the nation's fate depended upon God's accepting the sacrifice. At that point, the high priest was "face to face with the mercy seat of G-d."


The Day

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, comes on the tenth day of the 7th month (Tishrei-September/October). It is the last day of the Ten Days of Repentance, and it is the most solemn day of the Jewish calendar. It is believed that those who have not been good enough to be written in the Book of Life immediately on Yom Teruah are given ten days to repent, pray for forgiveness, and do good deeds until Yom Kippur, when their fate will be decided. The entire Day of Forgiveness (Yom Kippur) is spent fasting and praying. Because this day is the most solemn day in the year, it is known as "The Day."

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURThe Fast

Fasting is one of the most important of the mitzvot (commandments) leading to atonement. The Torah says three times, "And this shall be to you a law for all times: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month you shall practice self-denial" (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:29; 23:27; Numbers [Bamidbar] 29:7); tradition (the Jewish understanding) interprets self-denial as fasting. For this reason, Yom Kippur is known as "The Fast Day."


Spiritual Understanding of the Day of Atonement

The Day of Atonement was the most solemn of all the feast days. It was the day of cleansing for the nation and for the sanctuary. On this day alone, once a year, the high priest entered into the holiest of all, the Holy of Holies in the temple, within the veil of the temple, with the blood of the Lord's goat, the sin offering. Here he sprinkled the blood on the mercy seat. The blood of the sin offering on the great Day of Atonement brought about the cleansing of all sin for the priesthood, the sanctuary, and Israel as a nation (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:29-34).


The Day of Atonement Yom Kippur is a day of fasting and affliction of the soul (Leviticus [Vayikra] 23:27,29; Numbers [Bamidbar] 29:7). This day was set aside as a day of national fasting. Fasting is mentioned in Joel (Yoel) 1:14-15; 2:12-18; and Ezra 8:21. The spiritual understanding for us is given in Isaiah 58:1-12.It is the tenth day of the seventh month (Leviticus [Vayikra] 23:27; Numbers [Bamidbar] 29:7). The number 10 is used to represent the government or a nation (Daniel 7:24; Revelation 17:12). To the Jewish people, the number ten represents a legal congregation known as a minyan. The congregation is one body that can represent a group. So, the number ten represented the nation or the congregation of Israel (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:2-3,17,19). Notice also that the blood is sprinkled for the nation (Leviticus [Vayikra] 16:19). Look at Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 52:13-15 and Ezekiel (Yechezekel) 36:24-26. In Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 52:13-15, the suffering servant, Yeshua, Messiah ben Joseph (Yosef) is seen sprinkling many nations. In Ezekiel 36:24-26, it is the Jews returning to Israel from the Diaspora whom God will sprinkle clean water upon when they return back to the land of Israel.


Life for a Life

The biblical name for the day of Atonement is Yom HaKippur, meaning "the day of covering, canceling, pardon, reconciling." Occasionally, it was called "the Day of the Fast" or "the Great Fast" (Leviticus [Vayikra] 23:27-31; 16:29-34). God told the Israelites to sacrifice an animal as a substitute for their own sentence to die. This life for a life principle is the foundation of the sacrificial system. The Torah allows a monetary ransom be paid for an individual deserving death (Exodus [Shemot] 21:28-32). The guilty person here was the owner of an ox that had killed a person, and the owner of the ox was responsible for the death caused by his ox (Exodus 21:30 says that money paid in place of the death of the owner was a ransom price).

Messianic Fulfillment. Yeshua died on the tree as a substitute for us, who deserved death because we sinned against God. Yeshua paid the ransom price for us to G-d (Mark 10:45; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 7:23). The ransom price was 30 pieces of silver (Exodus [Shemot] 21:32; Matthew [Mattityahu] 26:14-16; 27:3-6).

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURThirty pieces of silver was the ransom price of blood in dying in the place of the truly guilty and making atonement for the guilty. In the case of a thief or murderer, there is no atonement for them (Exodus 22:1-2; Numbers 35:31). This is why there is no atonement for satan (Ha satan) (John 8:44). Thirty pieces of silver was the ransom price of blood and the shedding of blood made an atonement for sin (Leviticus 17:11; Romans 5:8-11). The Greek word hilasmos, translated as "propitiation," has the same meaning as the Hebrew word kaphar, which is translated as "atonement" (Romans 3:23-25; 1 John 2:2; 4:9-10). The purpose of the Day of Atonement was to teach us about Yeshua, who is our atonement (Hebrews 10:1-10).


Yeshua's Second Coming and Yom Kippur If you examine the Scriptures concerning the second coming of Yeshua back to earth, when He will set His foot upon the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4), you will find that it uses Yom Kippur terminology. Here are a few examples. The first example is in Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 52:13-15. First, let us examine Isaiah 52:13-14 so we can identify that this is referring to Yeshua the Messiah. Then, we will look at Isaiah 52:15. In Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 52:13-14 it is written: Behold, My servant shall deal prudently [the servant refers to the Messiah], He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. [The New Covenant (Brit Hadashah) references to this include Acts 2:32-35; 5:30-31; and Philippians 2:9-11.] As many were astonied at thee; His visage was so marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men (Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 52:13-14).

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS-YOM KIPPURYeshua's Second Coming and Yom Kippur

In Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 52:15 it is written: "So shall He sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at Him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider."The phrase, "So shall He sprinkle many nations" is a reference to the sprinkling of the blood on the mercy seat of God by the high priest during Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16:14). This is also referred to in Leviticus 1:5,11; 3:2,8,13; 4:6,17; 7:2.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLES


Joh 7:37 Now on the last day of the festival, Hoshana Rabbah, Yeshua stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him keep coming to me and drinking! Joh 7:38 Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his inmost being!"

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESRivers of Living Water is the theme of songs,

sermons and even entire ministries and their conferences. But most folks miss a very important message that is staring at them from the page of this very Jewish book. Let’s go back to the opening statement of this passage. “Now on the last day, the great day of the feast..” What day of what feast? In order to fully understand Yehovah’s anointed word, you must understand Yehovah’s Moadim appointed times.


Anytime the Bible mentions a feast without a designation, you may be assured it is the Feast of Tabernacles, the grandest feast of all. And the last day of this feast is a day unlike all other days! This day is called Hoshanna Rabbah, which means the Great Hosanah, the Great Cry to Adonai

Do you know when that is?

Sukkot, usually translated as "Tabernacles," or the festival of "Booths," occurs for seven days, from Tishrei 15 to 21. There is therefore a quick transition from the high holidays, with their somber mood of repentance and judgment, to a holiday of rejoicing and celebration, for which the people are commanded to build a hut [sukkah; plural, sukkot) and make it their home. The Torah identifies the sukkah (booth) with the temporary dwellings in which the Israelites lived in the wilderness after they left Egypt on their way to the Promised Land (Leviticus [Vayikra] 23:42).

"


From Yom Kippur to Sukkot Not coincidentally, the same time period marks the beginning of the construction of G-d's sukkah, the mishkan, the sanctuary in the desert (Exodus [Shemot] 25:8-9). In Exodus 25:9, the word tabernacle is the word mishkan in Hebrew.Material for this portable structure was collected during the days before Sukkot, and work was begun on it (the mishkan or tabernacle) (Exodus [Shemot] 35; 36:1-7). Why was the mishkan built? The Torah says, "Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them" (Exodus [Shemot] 25:8); to establish the relationship between God and Israel, God would dwell amidst the people. Therefore the mishkan, the tabernacle in the wilderness, was instructed to be built by God for Him so He could dwell with His people.

In contrast to the somber tone of Yom Teruah/Trumpets and the Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement, the third feast of Tishrei was a time of joy. Israel had passed through the season of repentance and redemption.Sukkot is called the "Season of Our Joy." One reason Sukkot was a time of joy was that after the season of repentance (Teshuvah) and the redemption of Yom Kippur came the joy of knowing your sins were forgiven and the joy of walking with God, knowing God, and being obedient to God. The Hebrew word chag comes from the Hebrew root word chagag, which means "to move in a circle, to march in a sacred procession, to celebrate or dance." The joy of Sukkot was so great that it became known as "The Feast." In non-Jewish circles, Sukkot is known as the Feast of Tabernacles.


WAS THE FIRST THANKSGIVING A FEAST OF TABERNACLES CELEBRATION? Many Americans, upon seeing a decorated sukkah for the first time, remark on how much the sukkah (and the holiday generally) reminds them of Thanksgiving. The American pilgrims, who originated the Thanksgiving holiday, were deeply religious people. As they were trying to find a way to express their thanks for their survival and for the harvest, it is quite possible that they looked to the Bible (Leviticus 23:39) for an appropriate way of celebrating and based their holiday in part on the Feast of Tabernacles.


WAS THE FIRST THANKSGIVING A FEAST OF TABERNACLES CELEBRATION? Cold and sick, fighting snow and sleet, a motley band of English men and women struggled through their first winter in the New World. Fewer than 50 of the 110 pilgrims and crew that had stepped off the Mayflower survived until spring. On their own, the Pilgrims would have likely all perished their first year on the coast of New England. However, God had better plans for them. In March of 1621, a loincloth covered native stepped out of the woods and said, "Welcome" in clear English. Samoset, the chief of the Algonquins, had learned English from the fishing ships that occasionally put into the coast of Maine. A few days later he returned to the little Pilgrim village with another English speaking native named Tisquantum, also called Squanto.

Squanto proved to be a literal God-send for the Pilgrims. He stayed with them and taught them how to stalk deer and catch eels and plant corn the Indian way. He showed them how to refine maple syrup and to discern which wild plants were edible and which were poisonous. He introduced them to trapping beavers, the pelts of which were in high demand in Europe. Without his help, few of the Pilgrims would have survived.


WAS THE FIRST THANKSGIVING A FEAST OF TABERNACLES CELEBRATION? By the autumn of 1621, the Pilgrims were well-prepared for the coming winter and extremely grateful to God, to the Wampanoags, and to Squanto. Governor Bradford declared a day of public thanksgiving to be held in October. They invited Massasoit, the Wapanoags' chief, to a feast to celebrate their bounty. To their surprise and concern, Massasoit brought with him 90 other warriors. These men did not come empty-handed however. They added five deer and over a dozen wild turkeys to the Pilgrims' fresh garden vegetables. There were days of feasting and games and competitions. The Wapanoags taught the Pilgrims the art of making popcorn and the Pilgrims introduced the Indians to fruit pies. God had shown He cared for this little band of persecuted Englishmen in search of religious and civil freedom.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESLev 23:40 On the first day you are to take choice fruit, palm fronds, thick branches and river-willows, and celebrate in the presence of Adonai your God for seven days. Lev 23:41 You are to observe it as a feast to Adonai seven days in the year; it is a permanent regulation, generation after generation; keep it in the seventh month.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESEvery Holy Day is infused with a special energy to help us work on a particular character trait, and to develop certain aspects of our lives. The mitzvot of the holy days are tools to help us achieve the goal of the time. Sukkot as Zman Simchateinu, "the Time of Our Joy." Sukkot is designed as a one-week workshop on joy!For seven days, we move out of our wall-to-wall carpeted, air-conditioned house, into a little hut called a Sukkah. But how is this supposed to make us happy? The lesson is that the physical objects with which we surround ourselves are not what make us happy. A person can live in a gorgeous home and be absolutely miserable. Or, he can live in a shabby hut and be ecstatically happy. The key to joy is success in our relationships. This includes our relationship with other people, with ourselves, and with God.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Hebrew word for "goodly" in the verse in Leviticus above is hadar {hawdawr'} [01926 ] meaning "ornament," "splendor," or "honor." The Hebrew word for "palm" in this verse is tamar {taw-mawr'} [8558] meaning "palm tree" or "date palm." The Hebrew word for "bough" in this verse is `anaph{aw-nawf'} [06057] meaning "bough" or "branch." The Hebrew word for "willows" in this verse is `arab {aw-rawb'} [06155] meaning "poplar, willow or a tree characterized by dark wood." There is thought to be spiritual significance based on the characteristics of the lulav and citron:The palm bears fruit (deeds) but is not fragrant (spiritual blessing). This is like a person who lives by the letter of the law but does not have compassion or love for others.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESESROGShould preferably be turning yellow rather than green. The peel cannot be punctured through in any spot, nor can it lack any of its inner skin. The peel cannot be overly soft, cracked, dry or peeled. Even a small black dot on the upper part invalidates it.The shape should preferably be like a tower - wider at the bottomand narrow at the top.If this particular Esrog grew with a protruding stem (called a pitom), then that stem cannot be broken off. (However, if the Esrog grew in the first place without a pitom, it is still kosher.)

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESRELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERSThe Lulav offers important clues on how to achieve joy through relationships. Lulav represent four different types of Jews:

The Esrog has a good taste and a good fragrance. It represents a person with both wisdom (Torah learning) and good deeds. The Hadas (myrtle) has a good fragrance, but is inedible. It represents a person who has good deeds, but lacks wisdom. The Lulav (date palm) is edible, but has no smell. This represents the person with wisdom, but without good deeds. The Aravah (willow) has neither taste nor smell. It represents a person with neither good deeds nor Torah learning..

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESRELATIONSHIP WITH SELFAnother way to look at the Lulav is :

The Esrog represents the heart, the seat of our emotions. The Hadas (myrtle) has leaves shaped like an eye. The Lulav (date palm) represents the spine, from where our actions emanate. The Aravah (willow) represents the lips, our speech..

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESSPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES

Yeshua is the Living WaterOur spiritual thirst cannot be quenched with anything less than Messiah. Joh 4:13 Yeshua answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again, Joh 4:14 but whoever drinks the water I will give him will never be thirsty again! On the contrary, the water I give him will become a spring of water inside him, welling up into eternal life!"


Yeshua Washes Away Our SinsYeshua is the true living water cleansing us from sin through His blood. Heb 9:13 For if sprinkling ceremonially unclean persons with the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer restores their outward purity; Heb 9:14 then how much more the blood of the Messiah, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself to God as a sacrifice without blemish, will purify our conscience from works that lead to death, so that we can serve the living God!


Yeshua is the Light of the WorldThe light from the Succoth/Feast of Tabernacles lamps illuminated the whole city. Scholars suggest that Yeshua referred to this custom when he spoke those well-known words, "I am the light of the world..." (John 8:12)


Yeshua is the Light of the WorldJoh 9:3 Yeshua answered, "His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God's power might be seen at work in him. Joh 9:4 As long as it is day, we must keep doing the work of the One who sent me; the night is coming, when no one can work. Joh 9:5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." Joh 9:6 Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, put the mud on the man's eyes,


Yeshua is Preparing Our Permanent HomeThese physical bodies we now occupy are only temporary dwelling places. Our bodies are frail, and will eventually begin to deteriorate. Life is short. Our hope is not in what the world has to offer, but in what God has already provided for us for eternity. Our permanent home is being prepared for us in eternity. Yeshua said in Joh 14:1 "Don't let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in me. Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many places to live. If there weren't, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Joh 14:3 Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with me; so that where I am, you may be also.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESSPIRITUAL LESSONS FROM THE FEAST OF TABERNACLESGod is Our ShelterThis holiday reminds us not to hold too tightly to material things. We live in a very materialistic age. When the Israelites were wanderers in the desert, they all lived in tents—rich and poor alike. Material possessions can control and manipulate us; they become gods, or idols, over us. We must rememberthat this life is only temporary. We are also on a pilgrimage to a Promised Land in eternity. We need to seek God's kingdom, not earthly comfort. As we seek first the Kingdom of God (Luke 12:31), God is our shelter. .

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESAs we seek first the Kingdom of God (Luke 12:31), God is our shelter.

Luk 12:29 "In other words, don't strive after what you will eat and what you will drink — don't be anxious. Luk 12:30 For all the pagan nations in the world set their hearts on these things. Your Father knows that you need them too. Luk 12:31 Rather, seek his Kingdom; and these things will be given to you as well. Luk 12:32 Have no fear, little flock, for your Father has resolved to give you the Kingdom!

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESProphetic SignificanceThese fall festivals speak of a future time when men will again tabernacle with God, when He will dwell with them and they with Him (Rev. 21:3). They speak of a day in which all nations will gather to Jerusalem (Zech. 8:22; 14:16). Curiously, even in the days to come, Bible prophecy tells us that people from the nations of the world will come up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles with the Jewish people in Jerusalem (Zech. 14). The stage is being set and prophecy is being fulfilled. The "coming-up" (aliyah, inHebrew) is taking place now in Israel with the massive influx of Jews from over a hundred nations. Christians, also, are already visiting the land in record numbers—the majority of pilgrims coming to Israel are Christians. This is all in preparation and building for future scriptural events. Jerusalem continues to be the focus of God's earthly pattern and plan, for ultimately it is to Jerusalem that Messiah is coming.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESUnderstanding the Meaning of Booths/TabernaclesThe Hebrew word for tabernacle is sukkah. It means "a booth, a hut, a covering, a pavilion or tent." The Greek word for tabernacle is sk'en'e, which also means "a tent, hut, or habitation." With this in mind, let's look at the context by which the word tabernacle is used in the New Covenant (Brit Hadashah).Yeshua tabernacled (sukkot) among us, (John [Yochanan] 1:14). The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh'khinah, the Sh'khinah of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.

Peter (Kefa) spoke about his body being a tabernacle (2 Peter [Kefa] 2Pe 1:13 And I consider it right to keep stirring you up with reminders, as long as I am in the tent of this body. 2Pe 1:14 I know that I will soon lay aside this tent of mine, as our Lord Yeshua the Messiah has made clear to me.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESUnderstanding the Meaning of Booths/TabernaclesThe apostle Paul (Rav Sha'ul) told us that our earthly bodies were earthly houses or tabernacles (2 Corinthians 5:1-5). 2Co 5:1 We know that when the tent which houses us here on earth is torn down, we have a permanent building from God, a building not made by human hands, to house us in heaven. 2Co 5:2 For in this tent, our earthly body, we groan with desire to have around us the home from heaven that will be ours. 2Co 5:3 With this around us we will not be found naked. 2Co 5:4 Yes, while we are in this body, we groan with the sense of being oppressed: it is not so much that we want to take something off, but rather to put something on over it; so that what must die may be swallowed up by the Life. 2Co 5:5 Moreover, it is God who has prepared us for this very thing, and as a pledge he has given us his Spirit.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESUnderstanding the Meaning of Booths/TabernaclesThe tabernacle of Moses (Moshe) was a tent of habitation (Hebrews 9:2-8). Heb 9:1 Now the first covenant had both regulations for worship and a Holy Place here on earth. Heb 9:2 A tent was set up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place; in it were the menorah, the table and the Bread of the Presence. Heb 9:3 Behind the second parokhet was a tent called the Holiest Place, Heb 9:4 which had the golden altar for burning incense and the Ark of the Covenant, entirely covered with gold. In the Ark were the gold jar containing the man, Aharon's rod that sprouted and the stone Tablets of the Covenant; Heb 9:5 and above it were the k'ruvim representing the Sh'khinah, casting their shadow on the lid of the Ark — but now is not the time to discuss these things in detail. Heb 9:6 With things so arranged, the cohanim go into the outer tent all the time to discharge their duties; Heb 9:7 but only the cohen hagadol enters the inner one; and he goes in only once a year, and he must always bring blood, which he offers both for himself and for the sins committed in ignorance by the people. Heb 9:8 By this arrangement, the Ruach HaKodesh showed that so long as the first Tent had standing, the way into the Holiest Place was still closed. Heb 9:9 This symbolizes the present age and indicates that the conscience of the person performing the service cannot be brought to the goal by the gifts and sacrifices he offers.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESUnderstanding the Meaning of Booths/TabernaclesYeshua entered the temple on the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) (John [Yochanan] 7:2,27-29). The Bible speaks of a heavenly tabernacle (Hebrews 8:1-2; Revelation 15:5). Heb 8:1 Here is the whole point of what we have been saying: we do have just such a cohen gadol as has been described. And he does sit at the right hand of HaG'dulah in heaven. Heb 8:2 There he serves in the Holy Place, that is, in the true Tent of Meeting, the one erected not by human beings but by Adonai.

Rev 15:4 Adonai, who will not fear and glorify your name? because you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed." Rev 15:5 After this I looked, and the sanctuary (that is, the Tent of Witness in heaven) was opened, Rev 15:6 and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean bright linen and had gold belts around their chests.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Ingathering Sukkot (Tabernacles) is the fall harvest festival. It begins on the fifteenth of the Hebrew month of Tishrei and concludes on the twenty-second with Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah, also called the eighth day, the rejoicing in the Torah. Shemini Atzeret functions as the conclusion of Sukkot, but it is also a separate festival (this will be discussed in the following chapter). Like the other pilgrimage festivals, Sukkot [tabernacles] has an agricultural element. It marks the time of the harvest, the final ingathering of produce before the oncoming winter. Hence, it is also called Hag HaAsif, the festival of Ingathering. As it is written, "You shall celebrate the Festival of In-gathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field" (Exodus [Shemot] 23:16). Sukkot is the time when the produce of the field, orchard, and vineyard is gathered in. The granaries, threshing floors, and wine and olive presses are full to capacity. Weeks and months of toil and sweat put into the soil have finally been amply rewarded. The farmer feels happy and elated. No wonder Sukkot is "The Season of Rejoicing." While all of the three pilgrimages are times of rejoicing, Sukkot (Tabernacles) is specifically designated as Zeman simchatenu, the season of our rejoicing.

Lev 23:36 For seven days you are to bring an offering made by fire to Adonai; on the eighth day you are to have a holy convocation and bring an offering made by fire to Adonai ; it is a day of public assembly; do not do any kind of ordinary work.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESOn the eighth day there was a solemn assembly when one bullock, one ram, and seven lambs were offered (Num. 29:36). The sacrifices offered during this time amounted to 189 animals.· Men carried the cluster of branches to the synagogue to wave as they rejoiced before the Lord, as commanded by the Lord (Lev. 23:40). Water was also an important part of the Feast of Tabernacles. Before the festival, the Rabbis taught on every passage in Scripture dealing with water. In Old Testament Biblical times, gold pitchers of water were brought from the pool of Siloam to the temple. The Priest would pour out the water over the altar to signify Israel's gratitude for the rain that had produced the harvest, and would pray for rain in the next year. The priest would recite Isaiah 12:1 On that day you will say: "I thank you, Adonai, because, although you were angry at me, your anger is now turned away; and you are comforting me. Isa 12:2 "See! God is my salvation. I am confident and unafraid; for Yah Adonai is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation!" Isa 12:3 Then you will joyfully draw water from the springs of salvation.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe SadduceesThere was, however, a segment of the Jewish community that was not party to the joy of the water-drawing celebrations.The Sadducees were a breakaway Jewish sect who denied the oral tradition received by Moses at Sinai and handed down through the generations, arguing that they had the right to interpret the Torah according to their own understanding. Unlike the pouring of the wine, which is explicitly commanded by the Torah, the pouring of the water on Sukkot is derived by interpretation. In the verses (Numbers 29:19, 29 and 33) where the Torah speaks of the libations to accompany the Sukkot offerings, there are three extra letters; according to the Sinaitic tradition, these letters are combined to form the word mayim (water). The Sadducees, who rejected the “Oral Torah,” maintained that only wine was to be poured on the altar on Sukkot, as on every day of the year.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Lights (The Light of the Temple) Another ceremony of the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) was the illumination of the temple (Beit HaMikdash). According to the Mishnah, at the end of the first day of the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles), the priests and the Levites went down to the court of the women. Four enormous golden candlesticks were set up on the court (50 cubits high) with four golden bowls placed upon them and four ladders resting against each candlestick. Four youths of priestly descent stood at the top of the ladders holding jars containing about 7.5 gallons of pure oil, which they poured for each bowl (Mishnah, Sukkah 5:2). The priests and Levites used their own worn-out liturgical clothing for wicks. The light emanating from the four candelabras was so bright that the Mishnah says in Sukkah 5:3 that there was no courtyard in Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] that was not lit up with the light of the libation water-well ceremony (Beit Hashoevah).

To a thirsty man, a cup of water is tastier than the most delectable wine. In the spiritual sense, this means that when a soul experiences a “thirst” for God--when it recognizes how vital its connection to God is for its very existence--the prosaic “water” of commitment is a feast for its senses. To the soul who thirsts for God,

Joh 7:37 Now on the last day of the festival, Hoshana Rabbah, Yeshua stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him keep coming to me and drinking! Joh 7:38 Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his inmost being!"

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Lights (The Light of the Temple) Anytime the Bible mentions a feast without a designation, you may be assured it is the Feast of Tabernacles, the grandest feast of all. And the last day of this feast is a day unlike all other days! This day is called Hoshanna Rabbah, which means the Great Hosanah, the Great Cry to God. On this day, at about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, the High Priest leads a procession off the Temple Mount and through the streets of Jerusalem. Their goal is the Pool of Bethsaida; you remember that this was the place that the crippled man told the disciples, “every day the water comes alive and in it is healing.” The High Priest arrives at the pool just as the water comes alive. Filling a golden pitcher of this Mayim Chaim, this Living Water, he leads the procession back to the altar of the Temple. There, he is handed a silver pitcher full of wine. Pouring them out together, he prays for two things. First, he prays for rains, the former and the later rains.


Now picture the scene…Joh 7:37 Now on the last day of the festival, Hoshana Rabbah, Yeshua stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him keep coming to me and drinking!

If you read the rest of the chapter, you see that from verse 40 through verse 52, the crowd is in disarray. Some ask if He is the Messiah, others insist that the Messiah will not come from the Galilee. Finally, scripture tells us in verse 53, they all went home,

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Lights (The Light of the Temple) Joh 8:1 But Yeshua went to the Mount of Olives. Joh 8:2 At daybreak, he appeared again in the Temple Court, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. Joh 8:3 The Torah-teachers and the P'rushim brought in a woman who had been caught committing adultery and made her stand in the center of the group. Joh 8:4 Then they said to him, "Rabbi, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.Joh 8:5 Now in our Torah, Moshe commanded that such a woman be stoned to death. What do you say about it?" Joh 8:6 They said this to trap him, so that they might have ground for bringing charges against him; but Yeshua bent down and began writing in the dust with his finger. Joh 8:7 When they kept questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "The one of you who is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."


First, let’s start at the beginning of this passage. Where was Yeshua teaching? In the Temple, yes, but in which part? The Temple is grand and has many sections, but because the religious leaders soon brought Him a woman caught in adultery, He must have been in the Court of the Women, because these leaders would have brought her to no other place there. So we find Yeshua teaching even women in the Temple; not altogether unique, but certainly noteworthy.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Lights (The Light of the Temple) Num 5:12 "Tell the people of Isra'el, 'If a man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him; Num 5:13 that is, if another man goes to bed with her without her husband's knowledge, so that she becomes impure secretly, and there is no witness against her, and she was not caught in the act; Num 5:14 then, if a spirit of jealousy comes over him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she has become impure — or, for that matter, if the spirit of jealousy comes over him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she has not become impure —Num 5:15 he is to bring his wife to the cohen, along with the offering for her, two quarts of barley flour on which he has not poured olive oil or put frankincense, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a grain offering for remembering, for recalling guilt to mind. Num 5:16 The cohen will bring her forward and place her before Adonai. Num 5:17 The cohen will put holy water in a clay pot, and then the cohen will take some of the dust on the floor of the tabernacle and put it in the water.

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Lights (The Light of the Temple) Joh 8:8 Then he bent down and wrote in the dust again. Joh 8:9 On hearing this, they began to leave, one by one, the older ones first, until he was left alone, with the woman still there. Joh 8:10 Standing up, Yeshua said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?" Joh 8:11 She said, "No one, sir." Yeshua said, "Neither do I condemn you. Now go, and don't sin any more." Joh 8:12 Yeshua spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life."

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Lights (The Light of the Temple) When He asked her where were her accusers, He followed the letter of the Law again by stating “neither do I accuse you.” Only those who caught her in the very act could, according to the Law of Moses, accuse her. Rather than change the Law to suit His own purpose, Yeshua once again showed those with Him, that He came to fulfill the Law. He never broke His own commandments, and He never will. He did, however, make one slight adjustment to this case. You see, with the circumstances as presented, the woman should have been set free. But Yeshua charged her with a great burden, He said, “Go, and sin no more.” In this He showed Himself to be the One who created the Law of Moses that the religious leaders were testing Him on. Verse 12 contains a simple statement that caused an even greater stir than that caused when Yeshua declared Himself Messiah on the day before. All He said was, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

ADONAI’S FALL HOLY DAYS- SUCCOT/FEAST OF TABERNACLESThe Festival of Lights (The Light of the Temple) Why is this phase so important for us in the acharit-hayamim? But Yeshua charged her with a great burden, He said, “Go, and sin no more.”Zec 14:3 Then Adonai will go out and fight against those nations, fighting as on a day of battle. Zec 14:4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies to the east of Yerushalayim; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, to make a huge valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Zec 14:16 Finally, everyone remaining from all the nations that came to attack Yerushalayim will go up every year to worship the king, Adonai-Tzva'ot, and to keep the festival of Sukkot. Zec 14:17 If any of the families of the earth does not go up to Yerushalayim to worship the king, Adonai-Tzva'ot, no rain will fall on them.
