Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 24:36-37 But of that day and hour knows no man, no,

not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall

also the coming of the Son of man be.

Many of us have read the famous quote of our Messiah in the gospels when he

declared that his second coming would come at a time that “no man knows.”

But how many of us knew that he was actually making a reference to the Feast

of Trumpets? The Feast of Trumpets was known by those in ancient Jerusalem

as “The Day That No Man Knows.” And why is it called this? Because it is the

only feast that is determined by the sighting of the new moon, and so “no man”

can calculate the exact day or hour of when this feast day will begin.

To find out more about the how to determine a biblical new moon, see the link below: http://www.yrm.org/whatisbiblicalnewmoon.htm

In ancient Jerusalem, “two witnesses” would stand on the walls of Jerusalem and

“watch” for the first sighting of the new moon. When the Father in heaven deci-

ded to allow the new moon to appear in the sky, then the “two witnesses” would

sound the showfar (trumpet) and all the people in the city would immediately

drop what they were doing,

and they would run to the

Temple for the celebration of

“The Day of Blowing” called

Yom Teruw’ah in Hebrew.

The Temple doors were only

open for a short period of

time, and if they failed to

make it to the Temple before

the doors were shut, those

who were slack in running to

the Temple were left out of

the feast because the “doors

were shut,” and once they were shut, no man could get in. Because this feast

was to begin at sun-down, they had to make sure that their oil lamps were filled

so that they could find their way in the dark towards the Temple. In those days,

there were no street lights, and so they had to carry their oil lamps to help them

find their way. In Matthew 25, our Messiah told us a parable about ten virgins.

Only five of these virgins were wise and had their oil lamps filled when the

bridegroom came. But the other five foolish virgins had not prepared them-

selves by filling their lamps with oil. When “The Day That No Man Knows”

had arrived, the two witnesses sounded the “trumpet” and the five wise virgins

were ready to go into the marriage. But the foolish virgins had no oil in their

lamps, and so they could not see their way around in the dark.

Many of these inhabitants of

Jerusalem would be working

in the fields or grinding at the

mill (Matthew 24:40-42), and

when they heard the sound of

the showfar (trumpet) they

knew that their work was

finished. Our Messiah was

speaking in the language of

Feast of Trumpets typology

when he said that he must

“work while it is yet day, for

the night comes when no man can work” (John 9:24). The person who was alert

and listening for the sound of the trumpet was “taken” by the sound of the

trumpet; this was his signal to run towards the Temple. But the person who was

not alert and not watching, would not hear the sound of the trumpet, and they

would be “left” in the field or grinding at the mill, unaware that the day had

come. To read more about the concept of

who is “taken” and who is “left” see my

article entitled: “Remember Lot’s Wife:

Taken or Left?”

Yahuwshuwa likened himself to a “thief in

the night” who would come at an hour “that

no man knows” and for these people who

were not watching with their oil lamps

filled, then “sudden destruction” would

come upon them as a woman in travail and

it would be too late for them to escape the

wrath of YaHuWaH.

The Thief in the Night

We often make reference to this term “thief in

the night” from the scriptures, but how many

really know what the metaphor of the “thief

in the night” is all about? In order to under-

http://doubleportioninheritance.blogspot.com/2011/05/copyright-double-portion-inheritance.htmlhttp://doubleportioninheritance.blogspot.com/2011/05/copyright-double-portion-inheritance.htmlhttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h4MCEPUQpnk/UFbeBOzuzTI/AAAAAAAACeA/Tb2YAn2fpz4/s1600/thief-night.jpg

stand this metaphor, we must know hist-

orically where this term came from. In

ancient Jerusalem, the High Priest in the

Temple (Kohen Gadowl) would make his

rounds each night to make sure that the

other priests were doing their duty of

keeping the fire burning on the brazen

altar. The commandment in the Towrah

was to never allow this fire on the altar to

go out (Leviticus 6:13). If a priest was on

duty to watch the fire by night, he was

not allowed to fall asleep on the job, for if

he did, the fire would not stay stoked and

the fire could go out and this would

bring judgment on Yisra’el. The priests

were also commanded not to have wine

or strong drink while serving in the Tem-

ple (Leviticus 10:9).

Alcohol in their blood stream would defile their worship and cause them to be-

come drunk, lazy and sleepy. Because the Kohen Gadowl (High Priest) came at

an hour when they were least expecting him to show up, the priests began to

nick-name him “the thief in the night.”

If the priest on duty fell asleep and was not watching the fire on the brazen

altar, the High Priest would show up and find him sleeping on the job. The

High Priest would then take some hot coals from the altar, and scoop them up

with a shovel. He would then dump some of these hot coals on the priest’s

garment who had fallen asleep. The priest who had fallen asleep would be

suddenly awakened by the smell of hot burning coals and his garment on fire.

He would immediately strip off his clothes as fast as he could in order to prev-

ent from being burned. At the end of his shift, the other priests would see him

naked without his garment, and he would be ashamed because all of the other

priests would know that he was caught falling asleep on the job.

Yahuwshuwa is our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:17-

21) and his true followers are his royal priesthood (1st Peter 2:9). We are admon-

ished not to be like those priests who fell asleep on the job. We are given a com-

mand to watch, and keep our garments so that we will not be ashamed when

our Messiah returns.

Chazown (Revelation) 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches,

and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

In his letter to the New Covenant believers in Messiah, the Apostle Sha’uwl

(Paul) wrote to them: “You have no need that I write to concerning the times

and the seasons” (1st Thessalonians 5:1). What did he mean by this statement? In

order to understand what Sha’uwl (Paul) was saying here, we must understand

that the Hebrew word for “times and seasons” is “mowediym.”

# 4150 mow’ed mo-ade’ (feminine) moweadah (2nd Chronicles 8:13) {mo-aw-

daw’}; from 3259; properly, an appointment, i.e. a fixed time or season;

specifically, a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as

convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the

place of meeting; also a signal (as appointed beforehand):--appointed (sign,

time), (place of, solemn) assembly, congregation, set, solemn, feast, appointed,

due season, solemnity, synogogue, set-time (appointed).

Why did Sha’uwl (Paul) have no need to write to them about these things?

Because they were all keeping the “Sabbaths” or Feast Days of YaHuWaH!

1st Tas’loniqiym (Thessalonians) 5:

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto

you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of YHWH so comes as a thief in

the night.

Shau’wl (Paul) and the Thessalonians were well aware of this metaphor concer-

ning the High Priest and the thief in the night. They practiced these things in

the Temple year after year and there was no need to explain it to them. If they

continued to keep the appointed “mowediym” of YaHuWaH as he had com-

manded them to do forever, they would not be taken by surprise.

7

1st Tas’loniqiym (Thessalonians) 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety;

then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child;

and they shall not escape.

Shau’wl (Paul) knew that these followers of Messiah were not in darkness be-

cause they were keeping their “oil lamps filled” and ready for the day when it

arrived. They would not be overtaken by “the day that no man knows” without

oil in their lamps. Their High Priest, Yahuwshuwa would come not as a thief in

the night for them, because they would not be in darkness!

1st Tas’loniqiym (Thessalonians) 5:

4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a

thief.

5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the

night, nor of darkness.

The Hebrew word for “day” is “yom” which means the following:

#3117 yowm: yome from an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm

hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset), continually, everlasting,

season.

The Hebrew word for “light” is Strong’s #216 owr which means the follow-ing: light, light of day, light of heavenly luminaries (moon, sun, stars); day-break, dawn, morning light; light of lamp; light of life; light of prosperity; light of instruction.

8

As you can see from this illus-tration of the seven-branch menorah, each “light” on the lamp represents a feast “day” or an appointed “yom.” Paul was telling us that because we are “children of the light and of the day” we will be walk-ing in the “instructions” (Towrah) and the light or revelation that is given to us when we keep his feasts!

As priests in the order of

Melchizedek, we must not be

like those priests who would be found drinking alcohol on the job, getting

drunk and falling asleep. We are given clear warning here to “watch” and be

sober. The Greek word here for “sober” is nepho” which literally means “to

abstain from wine.”

1st Tas’loniqiym (Thessalonians) 5:

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in

the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and

love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For Elohiym has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our

Master Yahuwshuwa Mashiyach (Messiah).

The breastplate being spoken of here is an allusion to the Choshen (the priest’s

breastplate) that he wore for the twelve tribes of Yisra’el. Those of us who are

ready will be made “kings and priests” in the New Millennial Kingdom of our

Mashiyach (Messiah) as seen in Revelation 1:6, 5:10. For the bride who is walk-

ing in the light and the truth of scripture, she must go through tribulation as

part of the purifying process to be made ready without spot or wrinkle (Daniel

12:10, Revelation 3:8; 7:14). The Hebrew word for “tribulation” is “tsarah”

which means “a tight and narrow place, birth canal, sister rivalry, persecution,

trouble.” This means that the bride must go through the “birth canal” in order

to be birthed into incorruption. Rachel and Leah were sisters who were rivals

because they both loved the same man, Ya’aqob (Jacob). Rachel represents the

House of Judah and Leah represents the House of Ephrayim. Both groups (Jews

& Gentiles) must go through a time of “sister rivalry” in order to provoke one

another to jealousy and thus be purified to meet the bride-groom (Romans

11:11).

The bride is not appointed for the day

of YaHuWaH’s wrath, for she will be

changed (birthed) as she puts in incor-

ruption (1st Corinthians 15:52).

As children of the light, the bride

honors the Holy Feast Days that

YaHuWaH has commands her to keep

forever because they are called “holy convocations.” The Strong’s Hebrew

Concordance defines the word for “convocation” as follows:

#4744 miqra’ mik-raw’ from 7121; something called out, i.e. a public meeting

(the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal:--assembly, calling, convo-

cation, reading.

As you can see, the Feasts of YaHuWaH are called “a rehearsal.” What are we

rehearsing for when we keep the feasts? When we keep his feasts, we are mem-

orializing and rehearsing all aspects of the bethrothal (engagement) and the

future Marriage Supper of the Lamb! When YaHuWaH established an everlasting

covenant with Yisra’el, he gave us a “sign” that he alone was our Elohiym.

What exactly is this “sign” that he has given to “ALL YISRA’EL” for ALL

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KHZ53aUi6hA/UFbeh28WLKI/AAAAAAAACeQ/Wo587N0vz64/s1600/choshen.jpg

GENERATIONS, FOREVER? The sign of his everlasting covenant with Yisra’el

are his “Sabbaths” and Holy Feast Days. He declared that through these “Sab-

baths” we might know that he is YaHuWaH who sanctifies us and sets us apart.

Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign

between me and them, that they might know that I am YHWH that sanctify

them.

Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 20:20 And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign

between me and you, that you may know that I am YHWH your Elohiym.

Wayyikra (Leviticus) 23:

23 And YHWH spoke unto Mosheh (Moses), saying,

24 Speak unto the children of Yisra’el, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day

of the month, shall you have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a

holy convocation.

25 You shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an offering made by fire unto

YHWH.

Here we see that YaHuWaH is commanding us to have a memorial of blowing

trumpets and he calls it a “holy convocation.” In other words, a wedding rehear-

sal! The offering that we make to him on this day is an offering by “fire.” In

other words our own lives are presented to him as a living sacrifice. We allow

the fire of the Holy Spirit to purge and purify our lives so that we will be ready

for the day when he returns to catch away his bride. Yahuwshuwa is coming for

a bride without spot or blemish. We must be purified by suffering trials and

tribulation in order to be ready for “The Day That No Man Knows!”

At the conclusion of the 1,260-day ministry of the “Two Witnesses,” the “seventh

angel” will sound (Revelation 11:15) and then the bride shall be changed in the

twinkling of an eye at the “last trump.”

Chazown (Revelation) 11:12-15 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying

unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their

11

enemies beheld them....And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in

heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Master, and

of his Mashiyach (Messiah); and he shall reign for ever and ever.

There are four different types of trumpets sounded on the Feast of Trumpets and

the number “4” represents “the four corners” of the earth (the harvest field) and

the “four angels” of the 4 winds of heaven.

Chazown (Revelation) 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on

the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind

should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

These 4 types of trumpet blasts are as follows:

I.) The Tekiah - A pure unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart, forsake his

wrong ways, and seek forgiveness through repentance.

II.) The Shebarim - A broken, staccato, trembling sound. It typifies the sorrow that

comes to man when he realizes his misconduct and desires to change his ways. It sounds

like a man moaning in repentance.

III.) The Teruw’ah - A wave-like sound of

alarm calling upon man to stand by the banner

of Elohiym.

IV.) The Tekiah Gedolah - The prolonged,

unbroken sound typifying a final appeal to

sincere repentance and atonement.

This 4th Trumpet is “the last trumpet”

sound made on the Feast of Trumpets and

this represents “the four angels from the

four winds of heaven and the four corners

of the earth” as they gather the elect

(Matthew 24:29-31).

THE ANCIENT HEBREW WEDDING CEREMONY How Does it Picture Mashiyach Yahuwshuwa & His Bride?

http://www.laydownlife.net/yedidah/AncientJewishWeddingCeremony.htm

Behold I Stand at the Door & Knock

A Hebrew betrothal supper was the culmination of often years of already estab-

lished relationship, haggling and planning between both of the families of the

bride and groom. The bride had the final say in whether or not she desired to

marry the groom and this was played out

in the first step of the betrothal ceremony.

The groom and his father would come to

the bride’s house on that special prear-

ranged night and knock on the door of

their home. The father of the bride would

inquire who was there and then ask the

bride if he should let them in. When she

said “yes,” the open door for the process

of covenant had begun. This can be comp-

ared to our acceptance of Messiah when

he knocks on the door of our hearts.

Revelation 3:20 reflects the beginning of

the Hebrew betrothal process when

Yahuwshuwa says: “Behold, I stand at the

door and knock. If anyone hears my voice

and opens the door, I will come in to him

and dine with him, and he with me.”

Yahuwchanon (John) 14:2-3: “In my Father’s house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. And, if I go to prepare and place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 24:36-44: “But of the day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.... Therefore, be also ready: for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of man comes.” Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 25:10 “…the bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut.” Chazown (Revelation) 19:7-8: “Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come and his wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, for the fine linen is the righteousness of set-apart ones (saints).” In Yahuwchanon (John) 3:29, John the Immerser (Baptist), referring to himself as the “friend of the bridegroom” and to Yahuwshuwa as “the bridegroom” said: “He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatest because of the bridegroom’s voice. This, my joy, therefore is fulfilled.” Tehilliym (Psalm) 45:9 “….Upon your Right Hand (Yahuwshuwa) did stand the Queen, in gold of Ophir.” Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 20:23 And he says unto them, You shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. In Matthew 22:8-14, we read the parable of the gathering of the guests to the wedding. They must be invited, and must have on a “wedding garment.” The wedding gar-

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5EAJBCWe2A4/UFbfKTosNoI/AAAAAAAACeo/yJwaMmX_ViE/s1600/rapture-bride.jpg

14

ment is made of pure white linen, which is the “righteousness of the set-apart, ones.“ The Word of Elohiym is basically the story of a wedding, from start to finish. It is a love story of a loving Father, seeking the perfect bride for his son. He is searching for a bride who is totally devoted, pure of heart, in love only with him, submitted and perfect in his sight. Such a picture of this is found in Gene-sis 24:1-67 with Abraham sending out his servant Eleazar (a type of the Holy Spirit) to find the perfect bride for his son Yitzchaq (Isaac). In the basic structure of the Ancient Hebrew Wedding Ceremony, you will see the Heavenly Father, and the bridegroom, Yahuwshuwa sending the “servant” which is the Ruwach ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit). The attendant of the bride is Mosheh/Moses (representing the Towrah), and the attendant of the groom is Eliyahuw/Elijah (representing the Spirit of prophesy). And then there are the guests who are saved people, but they are not the bride. In most weddings, there are 3 groups of people: 1.) The guests, forming the largest group. 2.) The attendants of the bride and the groom, usually a small group. 3.) The bride & her bridegroom. All are content and happy within their situation. But only the bride gets to go into the “chuppah” (bridal chamber) with the bridegroom in the New Yerush-alayim (Jerusalem) on Mount Tziyown (Zion) and live in his house forever. She has an intimacy with him that no one else has. The bride goes away with him for a “seven-day” wedding just like Leah and Ya’aqob (Jacob) as seen in Genesis 29:27-28. Their wedding lasted for seven days, and at the end of seven days, Ya’aqob (Jacob) was also given Rachel as a wife. Leah represents the “Ten Northern Tribes of Yisrael” for Leah had “ten sons.” These “Ten Northern Tribes” later on became known as “The House of Ephrayim” and they have “Gentile Companions” that are joined to them as “born-again” believers (Ezekiel 37:16). Rachel repre-sents the “Two Southern Tribes of Yahuwdah” (Judah) or the Jewish people be-cause Rachel had two sons. And so the bride who is typified in Leah will be “caught up” to meet him in the air on Yom Teruw’ah (1st Thessalonians 4:17), and then she will be taken into the “chuppah” (bridal chamber) for seven days. In Revelation 11:11, the “Two Witnesses” will be killed and their bodies will lie in

15

the streets for “three and a half days.” I believe that this is in keeping with the pattern of their Messiah who was also “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” (Matthew 12:40). During the “ten days” between the two feasts of Trumpets & Atonement, the first three of these days are when the bride follows the same pattern as her bridegroom. She must die to her old sinful body and then be raised up on the third day. Then for the next seven days, she will be in the bridal chamber with her bridegroom, and at the end of seven days, she will return on the Day of Atonement aka Yom Kippur. This is when Messiah will also be married to the other bride typified in Rachel. This is when the Jews who were “sealed” will finally see their Messiah “face to face” and they will “look upon him whom they have pierced and they will mourn for him as one mourns for his only son” (Zechariah 12:10). During the ten days between Yom Teruw’ah & Yom Kippur, the Jewish people refer to this as “The Ten Days of Awe.” These “ten days” between the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruw’ah) and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) are also refer-red to as “ten days of tribulation” for the Congregation at Smyrna (Revelation 2:10). Smyrna represents the bride who will not be converted until he returns. After the “seven-day” wedding with the first bride typified in Leah, the bride-groom will then return and he will marry the other bride typified in Rachel. Rachel represents the unconverted Jews who have not known their Messiah until he returns. But they were “sealed” in advance in the foreheads because they did not take the “Mark of the Beast” nor worshipped his image (Ezekiel 9:4, Revelation 7:3). When he comes back on a white horse, his army is also his bride typified in Leah who is also on white horses and she is clothed in white linen, fine and clean (Revelation 19:7-14). The bride typified in Rachel must suffer “ten days of tribulation” during what is called “The Ten Days of Awe.” The Hebrew word for “awe” is #7264 in the Strong’s Concordance and it is the word “ragaz” which means: “trouble, to provoke.” During these ten days, the other bride typified in Rachel will be “provoked to jealousy” (Romans 11:11) as she realizes that her sister has been taken into the “chuppah” with the bridegroom ahead of her. In Leviticus 16, we read the instructions for the High Priest each year as we find out that he was commanded to mingle the blood of a bull with the blood of a goat: Wayyikra (Leviticus) 16:15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the

16

blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat. Wayyikra (Leviticus) 16:18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before YHWH, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. What is interesting is that Leah’s name means “cow” (bullock) and Rachel’s name means “lamb” (goat). What does this typology mean? It means that on that final day of Yom Kippur, our Messiah will act as the High Priest (Kohen Gadowl) who will mix the blood of these two families (two brides) together and he will make them “one bride” or “one stick” in his hand!

Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 37: 16 Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick (tree), and write upon it, For Yahuwdah (Judah), and for the children of Yisra’el his companions: then take another stick (tree), and write upon it, For Yahuwceph (Joseph), the stick (tree) of Ephrayim and for all the house of Yisra’el his companions: 17 And join them one to another into one stick (tree); and they shall become one in your hand. 18 And when the children of your people shall speak

unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these? 19 Say unto them, Thus says YHWH Elohiym; Behold, I will take the stick (tree) of Yahuwceph (Joseph), which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes of Yisra’el his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick (tree) of Yahuwdah (Judah), and make them one stick (tree), and they shall be one in my hand. As you can see from the above prophecy, the Two Houses of Yisra’el will be made one stick or one bride on that day!

At the end of the Millennium, there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth (Revelation 21:1), which will come down out of Heaven. There will also be a “New Jerusalem” who will be “adorned as a bride” for her husband. The bride is the one who “overcomes” and she is mentioned in Revelation 3:7-13 in the letter to the Congregation at Philadelphia. She is marked, she is submissive and yielded to her bridegroom, guarding and obeying the terms of his marriage covenant, (the Towrah). The bride loves her bridegroom with a perfect love, and she follows him (the Lamb) wherever he goes (Revelation 14:4). She has made herself ready by washing her garments in the blood of the Lamb, and she has purified herself (separated herself totally unto him). She belongs to him, and her relationship with him is intimate. He knows her, and she knows him, and their fellowship is sweet.

The Coronation “Ha’Melek” means: The King! This is another name for Yom Teruw’ah. The Jew-ish people call this day “Rosh Ha’Shanah” meaning “Head of the Year.” But accor-ding to scripture, a New Year begins in the month called “Abib” (Exodus 12:2 &13:4) which is the first month of the year and it usually falls around March or April on the Gregorian calendar in the spring fourteen days before Passover. On the first day of the 7th month of Tishri is the day of his coming--at the Feast of Trumpets, this is “Coronation Day.” Why do the Jewish people refer to this day as “Rosh Ha’Shanah?” To put it simply, there are two different “New Year’s.” The first “New Year” is mentioned in Exodus 12:2 & 13:4 as “the month Abib,” and it commemorates the time when YaHuWaH took Yisra’el out of Egypt. It is the first of the year for the seven feasts annually. This calendar runs it’s course for seven months and it measures the seven months of

feasts as well as the “four harvests” in Yisra’el (barley, first wheat, second wheat, grapes). The other “New Year” measures “linear time” itself and this it is when the “seven year sabbatical cycles” are measured called the “shmitta” as well as the “fifty year” Jubilee cycles. At the “end” of these “seven months” of feasts is the “ingathering” of the harvest and every fifty years on Yom Kippur (the tenth day of the seventh month) is a cancellation of debts where slaves are freed and people who owed money were able to redeem their land or their inheritance. Wayyikra (Leviticus) 25:9 Then shall you cause the showfar (trumpet) of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the Day of Atone-ment shall you make the showfar (trumpet) sound throughout all your land. Shemoth (Exodus) 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of your labours, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labours out of the field. Shemoth (Exodus) 34:22 And you shall observe the feast of weeks (Pentecost or Shabuwoth), of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end. As you can see, the “first fruits” of the wheat harvest is in the spring at the time of Pentecost, fifty days following the “first fruits” of the barley. And then at the “years end,” at the final wheat harvest is the end of the agricultural year, and also the end of the year for the seven annual Feasts of YaHuWaH. To learn more about the two different calendars (agricultural and linear), see my other article entitled: “Times, Seasons & the Thief in the Night: When is the Real New Year?” Also see my article entitled: “Messiah’s Forty Days of Fasting Leading Up to Yom Kippur!” The Feast of Trumpets aka Yom Teruw’ah usually occurs during the Roman month of September or October, depending on the sighting of the new moon at the beginning of the New Year in the spring in the month Abib. On this day, the bridegroom comes for his bride, and at their wedding day, he is crowned the King, and she is crowned the Queen. Thus marriage day is the day of coron-ation for both of them.

Chazown (Revelation) 1:6 And has made us kings and priests unto Elohiym and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Awmane. Chazown (Revelation) 5:10 And has made us unto our Elohiym kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Yahuwshuwa will come for his bride on Yom Teruw’ah—the 1st day of the 7th month of Tishri on the Hebrew calendar. The essential message of this feast is the reaffirmation of the “kingship” of Elohiym. Messiah will be crowned on Yom Teruw’ah and he will be given the heathen for his inheritance, as well as receiving his kingdom (Daniel 7:13-14 and Psalm 2:6). Scriptures that are used for this day are: Genesis 49:10 and Zechariah 9:9:

Bereshiyth (Genesis) 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Yahuwdah (Judah),

nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the

gathering of the people be.

Zecharyahuw (Zechariah) 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Tziyown (Zion); shout, O

daughter of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): behold, your King comes unto you: he is

just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt

the foal of a donkey.

In Revelation 19:11-16, Yahuwshuwa is seen coming with the sound of the trumpet and with much fan-fare and ceremony. He comes as the trumpet sounds loudly, with his angels, in the wrath of YaHuWaH, to destroy his enemies and the enemies of his bride. He comes as a victorious king to deliver his bride from the evil one.

20

This is what the prophets call “the great and terrible day of YaHuWaH” (Joel 2:11 & 31) or “the day of vengeance of our Elohiym” (Isaiah 61:2, Jeremiah 46:10, Luke 21:22). Another term that is used speaking of the same day is “the day of wrath” (Job 21:30, Psalms 110:5, Proverbs 11:4). On this day Yahuwshuwa becomes the “King of Kings” over all the kingdoms of this world as seen in Revelation 11:15-19; 19:16; Daniel 7:9-27; Revelation 1:7. On the wedding day, the bridegroom and the bride are called King & Queen as seen in Tehilliym (Psalm) 45:

3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your

majesty.

4 And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and

righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things.

21

5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall

under you.

6 Your throne, O Elohiym, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a

right sceptre.

7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore Elohiym, your Elohiym, has

anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

8 All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory

palaces, whereby they have made you glad.

9 The King’s daughters were among your honourable women: upon your right

hand did stand the Queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own

people, and your father’s house;

11 So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your Master; and worship

you him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people

shall intreat your favour.

13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her

companions that follow her shall be brought unto you. The Wedding 1.) The father arranges the wedding as Samson’s father did, or: a.) The father sends an agent in his place, as Abraham sent Eleazer (YaHuWaH sent the Holy Spirit to prepare the bride).

22

b.) The young man comes by himself to the girl’s father to arrange the marriage between the two of them. 2.) If the young man goes to the house of the girl, he initially must carry these three things: a.) A large sum of money (or many expensive items) to pay the price for the bride (Yahuwshuwa has purchased his bride with his own blood). b.) A betrothal contract with his promises to the bride written on it. This is the same Towrah given to Yisra’el at Mount Horeb and deposited into the ark. c.) A skin of wine (this represents our Messiah’s blood) and the skin is the fact that he came in a mortal body (in the flesh). *Note: In Yahuwchanon (John) 5:8 it says: “For there are three that bear wit-ness in earth: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” In prophetic typology, the wine represents the Ruwach ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit), the water represents the Word—the marriage contract or covenant--the Towrah given at Sinai and then renewed again at Mount Horeb. And then finally, the blood represents the price paid for our salvation. It is called “the bride price” (Ruth 4:10, Psalm 74:2). In Acts 20:28, Sha’uwl speaking to Pastors says: “Take heed to yourselves, to feed the assembly of Elohiym, which he has purchased with his own blood.” In Ephesians 1:14 he tells us that the Ruwach’s presence with us is the “down-payment of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession.” His bride was the purchased possession, and he is coming to fully redeem her unto himself: Eph’siym (Ephesians) 1: 13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the besowrah (gospel) of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that Ruwach ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit) of promise,

23

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 1st Qorin’tiym (Corinthians) 6:20 & 1st Qorin’tiym (Corinthians) 7:23: “For you are bought with a price.” 3.) If the father approves of the marriage, the girl is called in and they all drink the wine together. In the drinking of the wine, she commits herself to the young man. Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 31:31 “I will make a Renewed (Chadash) Covenant with the House of Yisra’el and the House of Yahuwdah (Judah).”

Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 26:27-28 And He took the cup (the 3rd cup of the Seder—the cup of Redemption) and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying “Drink you all of it: for this is my blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Thus, he renewed his covenant in his own blood, with his remnant bride who would be taken from among the whole believing House of Yisra’el. 4.) At this point, the two are considered husband and wife. Their union can only be

dissolved by divorce, but their state is still called “a betrothal,” (engagement) just as with Miriyam & Yahuwceph (Mary & Joseph) while she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 5.) After the drinking of the wine, the young man says these words: Yahuwchanon (John) 14: 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. He will go away and prepare a room for them--adding on a room to his father’s house. He promises that when the room is finished, he would come back for her, and she would forever be with him. She belongs to him now, for she has been “bought with a

price,” and this purchase has been witnessed and confirmed. 6.) The young man goes to prepare a “chador” (chamber) in his father’s house, also called a “chuppah” (honey-moon bed). Tehilliym (Psalm) 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber (chuppah), and rejoice as a strong man to run a race.

Yow’el (Joel) 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber (cheder), and the bride out of her closet (chuppah). 7.) The girl must now spend her time learning how to be a wife and mother, and to learn how to please her hus-band. He may be gone for as long as 2 years or more. In 2nd Peter 3:8 it says that “one day is a like a thousand years with YaHuWaH” and so if the bridegroom is gone for “two days” in the earthly timing of a Hebrew Wedding Custom, then it means that the bridegroom will be gone for 2,000 years preparing a place for her before he returns.

The young man, if asked when the day of his wedding will be, often gets rid of nosey inquirers by saying: “No man knows the day or the hour, only my Father knows.” (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32). Thus he puts the responsibility of dealing with nosey friends and family off on his father. It is a personal thing with him, and he only talks about the timing of his coming for his bride with his father. He may communicate with his bride, in secret by messenger (represented by the Ruwach ha’Qodesh). But, also, the term “no man knows the day or the hour” is a catch-phrase for the “Feast of Trumpets” aka Yom Teruw’ah, for it lasts for two days around the earth. Four trumpets are blown during that two-day time period, and everyone waits for the “last trump,” when according to Hebrew Wedding Custom, the gates of heaven open and the righteous ascend to heaven, while the fate of the wicked is sealed. 8.) The groom designates two close friends to assist him and to assist the bride during the ceremony. They are called “The Two Witnesses.” These two witnesses were seen at “The Mount of Transfiguration” with our Messiah (Matthew 17:3-4). They are Mosheh & Eliyahuw (Moses & Elijah) who represents two elements of: Law & Prophets or Spirit & Truth. Now these, two witnesses in Revelation 11 are not literally Moses & Elijah com-ing back in reincarnated form to be killed by the Anti-Messiah. These two wit-nesses are actually “four groups” of people called “The Two Olive Trees & the Two Candlesticks” (Revelation 11:4). The Two Olive Trees are the “Two Houses of Yisrael” (Ephrayim & Judah). And the Two Candlesticks are the Congregation of Smyrna & Philadelphia (Revelation 1:20). These four groups are consolidated into two groups of people who represent Mosheh & Eliyahuw (Moses & Elijah) or “Law & Prophets.” These two corporate groups operate in the anointing of Mosheh (Moses) because they obey Towrah. But they also operate in the anoint-ing of Eliyahuw (Elijah) because they are filled with the Ruwach (Spirit). During the ceremony, the contract containing the groom’s promises are then turned over to the parents of the bride. At the Mount of Transfiguration, our Messiah Yahuwshuwa was seen with these two witnesses: Mosheh & Eliyahuw (Moses & Elijah). The Two Witnesses in Revelation 11 are not going to literally be Moses & Elijah reincarnated, because the Anti-Messiah must kill them, so they must have a mortal body. But according to Revelation 11:6, it will be two men and also two

26

corporate groups of people who do the same exploits as Mosheh & Eliyahuw (Moses & Elijah) and so they come “in the spirit and the power of Elijah & Moses” just as Yahuwchanon (John) the Baptist came in the “spirit and power of Elijah.” But John himself was not Elijah (Luke 1:17, John 1:21). 9.) In the same way that the father threw a big party when the prodigal son came home, our Heavenly Father will throw a big party for his Son and his bride with music and dancing (Luke 15:25). The prodigal son repented as he received “a white robe of righteousness” (wedding garment) and a signet ring (his father’s name). The fatted calf was killed because “atonement” was made (Luke 15:22-23). Our Messiah came as a substitute for the nation of Yisra’el (the scape-goat). He came in the likeness of sinful flesh (Romans 8:3-4) even though he was not a sinner himself. The Son will come for his bride with great fanfare, trum-pets, his servants, friends and family. It is a joyful day when he comes to receive his bride for the wedding ceremony. 10.) On their wedding day they are called the King & Queen. On this day, they both stand without spot or blemish as they are united. For two years or more (for us, 2000 years approximately since our bridegroom went back to his Father’s house) the servant, represented for us by the Ruwach ha’Qodesh, works to prepare the bride to perfection for her marriage to the perfect bride-groom, Yahuwshuwa. 1st Qorin’tiym (Corinthians) 1:4 “I thank Elohiym always concerning that you are not lacking in any gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Master Yahuwshuwa Mashiyach…” 1st Tas’loniqiym (Thessalonians) 5:23: “And the Elohiym of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of Our Master Yahuwshuwa Mashiyach.” Eph’siym (Ephesians) 5: 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Mashiyach also loved the Kehillah (Congregation), and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious Kehillah (Congregation), not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 11). The words of the wedding ceremony are from Psalm 45, and Isaiah 61:10-62:5 “…as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall Elohiym rejoice over you.” 12). Once the ceremony is over, the two go into the bridal chamber (chuppah) for 7 days. There are portions of the Song of Solomon read during Passover, which gives the details of the intimacy between Messiah and his bride. 13). The seven days in the chamber correspond to the seven days between the end of the Feast of Trumpets, and the Day of Atonement, when the High Priest takes the blood before the altar of YaHuWaH, and the sins of the nation of Yisra’el are forgiven. On the Day of Atonement, Messiah will judge all the nations that came against Jerusalem, and separate out the sheep and goat nations, as well as pronouncing the remnant of the Whole House of Ya’aqob (Jacob-Yisra’el)--all 12 Tribes--to be saved, redeemed, and restored (Joel 3:1-12; Matthew 25:31-46; Romans 11:26-27; Isaiah 59:20-21; 60:11-22; Jeremiah 31 and 33; Ezekiel 36:24-38; 37). 14.) The Spirit of Eliyahuw (Elijah) typified in Yahuwchanon (John) the Immerser is the “best man” who is also called “The Friend of the Bridegroom” in John 3:29, or his “witness,” who waits at the chamber door. At the end of the seven days, the guests will then arrive and are waiting for the door to be opened, and the wedding banquet to begin. When the groom is ready, he knocks from the inside of the door of the chamber, indicating that they are ready to make their public appearance before everyone. The friend opens the door, and the guests cheer. This will take place on Yom Kippur when the “veil” is removed and the bride and groom are revealed to the guests. The House of Yahuwdah (remnant Jews who were sealed) then see him “face to face” and they finally recognize him as their Messiah whom they pierced (Zechariah 12:10). 15.) In Revelation 11, the two witnesses have been in the earth witnessing and preparing for 3 ½ years. At the voice of the bridegroom calling them up, Mes-siah Yahuwshuwa comes out of heaven with a trumpet blast, accompanied by the set-apart ones who have died, to gather his bride for the wedding, and the seven days in the chuppah (during the ten days of awe between trumpets and

28

atonement). The door of heaven opens and he proceeds out for the “bride has made herself ready.” He picks up his bride who is alive and waiting for him on the earth. Then after his glorious entrance into Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), they proceed to the wedding feast which is called “The Marriage Supper of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:9). But before the wedding feast, he first takes vengeance on the enemies of his bride and the enemies of Yisra’el & Yerushalayim! After his display of wrath on Yom Kippur, then they proceed to the wedding banquet during the seven days of The Feast of Tabernacles with all of the guests and the wedding party. Thus we can see that the first seven days correlate to the seven-day wedding of Leah & Ya’aqob (Jacob) and this is between the Feast of Trump- ets and the Day of Atonement (Yom Teruwah & Yom Kippur). And then there is yet another seven days during the Feast of Tabernacles aka Sukkot for the other bride typified in Rachel and this is when both brides (Leah & Rachel) symbolizing Ephrayim & Judah will be made “one stick” in the hand of YaHuWaH at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

In Exodus 19:10-12, Mosheh commanded the people of Yisra’el to “wash their wedding garments” and to be ready “unto the 3rd day” to hear the “voice of the bridegroom” (Jeremiah 33:11, John 3:29, Revelation 18:23). There are some who believe that the wedding feast will occur at Mount Sinai, since that is where the terms of the marriage covenant were given to the bride originally. There is a strong similarity between the language in Revelation 19 & Exodus 19 pertaining to the Marriage of the Lamb & the Marriage of Yisra’el at Mount Sinai. Then, after the 3rd day at Mount Sinai, the glory of YaHuWaH “covered” Mount Sinai for “six days” and on the “7th day” Mosheh was called up to receive the mar-riage contract (the two tables of testimony). Here we see the pattern being estab-lished for a “seven day marriage.” In the parable of the wise virgins, in Matthew 25:1-11, we are shown that only the prepared bride gets to go into the chuppah with Him. The guests are shut out. While some believe that the bride will be gathered again at Mount Sinai, I believe that the bride will be gathered at Mount Tziyown (Zion) which in Hebrew means “a parched place.” It represents the burning mountain where YaHuWaH first wanted Yisra’el to hear his voice, yet they refused. It represents those who have been purified by his consuming fire. Mount Sinai is likened unto “bondage” and Hagar (Galatians 4:22-26), because it memorializes the place where Yisra’el committed harlotry with the golden calf. Mount Sinai means “Babylonian moon god.” But Mount Tziyown (Zion) is in the New Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) which is the mother of us all, and is typified in Sarah (the free woman). Mountain Tziyown (Zion) is another name for the city of Yerushalayim---the city of our Great King David who typifies our Messiah at his second coming. Those who come out of the fire of affliction and tribulation are found to be like pure gold (refined in the fire) like the free woman (Sarah). Mount Tziyown is the place of our spiritual destiny (1st Peter 2:6, Hebrews 12:22, Revelation 14:1, Romans 11:26, Isaiah 37:32, Isaiah 2:3). 16.) Yahuwchanon (John) the Immerser (Baptist) saw himself as the groom’s “friend” (John 3:28-30). Hebrew tradition says that Eliyahuw (Elijah) attends the groom and John was called “Eliyahuw” even by the bridegroom, Yahuwshuwa (Matthew 11:13-14). Eliyahuw’s message is one of preparation for the coming Messiah. He stands and waits for the bridegroom’s knock on the door. Mat-thew 17:3 shows the glorified, radiant Messiah standing with Mosheh & Eli-yahuw as his “two witnesses.”

30

17.) The bride’s attendant according to Hebrew tradition is Mosheh (symbolic of the Towrah). His function is to escort the bride to the bridegroom, as Mosheh escorted the children of Yisra’el to Sinai to be wed to Elohiym there. Mosheh typifies the Towrah (Law) which is also the “schoolmaster” to bring us to Mes-siah (Galatians 3:24). But instead of the bride being escorted to Mount Sinai (a picture of her old sinful nature which placed her in bondage), she will be escorted to Mount Tziyown (Zion) for the wedding! (Revelation 14:1). In Revelation 11:3-7, the two witnesses have the characteristics of Elijah and Moses. The Towrah (Law) is our schoolmaster that brings us to Messiah accord-ing to Galatians 3:24. But the bride has not been presented to the bridegroom yet! She must be escorted to him by the Towrah (represented as Mosheh). If the bride has not been presented to the bridegroom yet, that means that the Towrah cannot be done away with (Matthew 5:17-19). 18.) After the marriage, the bride goes to live with her bridegroom as the Queen of the Almighty Elohiym and King of Yisra’el. She remains with him by his side during the Millennium as she “rules and reigns” with him for a thousand years (Revelation 20:6). 19.) After the 1,000 years are finished, the first heaven and earth are passed away and a “New Heaven & Earth” will come down. The bride herself will be the “New Yerushalayim” as she is prepared and adorned for her husband (Revelation 21:1-2). The Lamb will also be “the Temple” and there will be no need for the sun, the moon or the seas, for the Lamb himself will shine as the sun and the moon, and he himself will be the “river of living water” (Revelation 21:1-23; 22:1). The Ram’s Horn & Covenant The first and the last time that the word “showfar or trumpet” is used in the Bible, it is used in the context of the bride “coming up” to meet her bridegroom:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z8TJMnsKxH0/T2M9yp-sKFI/AAAAAAAAB1o/8KZK7Kb2msA/s1600/shofar+(1).jpg

31

Shemoth (Exodus) 19:13 “…when the showfar (trumpet) sounds long, they shall come up to the mount. Chazown (Revelation) 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the showfar (trumpet), Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. It is no small coincidence that the first time the word “trumpet” is mentioned in scripture is in Exodus 19:13, when Yisra’el, the bride was being “called up” to meet YaHuWaH at Mount Sinai. The word here is “yowbel” #3104 in the Strong’s and it means “a ram’s horn.” This word also means “Jubilee” and it comes from the root word “yabal” # 2986 which means “to bring forth, to carry.” Jubilee signifies the time when then the bride is redeemed and her land and her inheritance is restored to her by her bridegroom, the Kinsman Redeemer.

In the 6th chapter of Joshua, the seven priests are a picture of the seven con-gregations (the bride) and they are commanded to sound seven trumpets seven times on the seventh day in order to see the walls of Yerichow (Jericho) fall down. Interestingly the word Yeri-chow in Hebrew comes from a root word yareach which means “the moon!” This is pointing to the new moon of the seventh month of Tishri! Yahuwshuwa (Joshua) 6:4 And seven

priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams horns: and the seventh day you shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. On the 7th day when the walls of Yerichow (Jericho) fell, this correlates to the 7-day wedding following the Feast of Trumpets. When the seven priests comp-assed the wicked city of Yerichow (Jericho) seven times on the seventh day with seven trumpets, what happened? Yahuwshuwa (Joshua) 6:5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xYhBmHEXwVU/UFbptxFtDPI/AAAAAAAACgA/Rnn1Gs9I1XY/s1600/rams-horn.jpg

32

As you can see, the children of Yisra’el had to be the ones to sound the showfar so that the walls of Yerichow (Jericho) would fall, and it will be the same thing in the end of days when the “Two Witnesses” sound the “showfar” as they proph-esy for 1,260 days until “Mystery Babylon” falls down: Chazown (Revelation) 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. In the same way that the Yisraelites received their land and their inheritance in the book of Joshua, so the bride will also receive her land and her inheritance when Mystery Babylon falls! The very last time that the word “trumpet” is mentioned in scripture is in Revel-ation 9:14 and it is when the four angels from the four winds of heaven are about to be loosed to gather the bride (the elect). This trumpet is about redemption! The first time YaHuWaH established covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15:9, a three-year old ram was killed (symbolic of the three-year ministry of Messiah). When Abraham offered up his son Yitzchaq (Isaac) to YaHuWaH, a ram was seen with his horns “caught” in the thicket as a substitute offering. Once again, this was about redemption! And thus we can see that the “trumpet” or the “ram’s horn” is prophetically connected to covenant, redemption, freedom, deliverance!

*Note to the reader:

In all of my articles, I am quoting from the 1634 King James Version of the Bible, (unless otherwise stated). However, I have updated archaic words such as “thee, thou, art, hitherto, thy, thine” etc. I have also restored the sacred names of deity as they have been removed 7,000 times from the original Hebrew Scriptures. Instead of “the LORD” I use four English letters to represent the four Hebrew letters in our Creator’s name: Yod, Hey, Waw, Hey as YHWH (called the Tetragrammaton). I have inserted lower case letters into YaHuWaH to aid in pronunciation. The word “God” has been restored to the Hebrew “Elohiym”, and the Messiah’s name has been restored from “Jesus” to ancient Hebrew for “Joshua” which is represented by six Hebrew Letters: Yod, Hey, Waw, Shin, Waw, Ayin (YHWSWA). I spell the name of our Messiah as Yahuwshuwa which can be seen in the Strong’s Hebrew Concordance #3091. The modern spelling is Yehowshuwa because of something called “the pre-tonal shortening rule” that was purposely invented to conceal the name of our Heavenly Father. After the Babylonian Captivity, the House of Judah deliberately placed a “ban” on pronouncing the name of our Creator and today in Judaism, they simply refer to him as “ha’Shem” (the name) or “Adonai” (master). But scripture commands us to “call upon the name of YHWH” for salvation (Joel 2:32, Romans 10:13). Hence this “ban” on pronouncing the name of our Creator is a violation of the 3rd Commandment “you shall not take the name of YHWH in vain.” That word for “vain” means “to make his name empty.” Also, for the title “Messiah” I use the Hebrew word Mashiyach from the Hebrew text the letters appear as: Mem, Shin, Yod, Chets (MSYC). Also, there are many names of patriarchs and biblical personalities whose names contain the first three letters of our Father’s name (called the trigrammaton). Examples of these names are: Yahuwceph (Joseph), Yahuwshuwa (Joshua), Yahuwchanon (John), YaHuW’nathan (Jonathan), Eliyahuw (Elijah), Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah), YeshaYaHuW (Isaiah), have the first three letters to the Creators name in them. I have restored those names where ever possible and I also include the Hebrew names for books of the Bible with the English name in parenthesis. In Modern Hebrew, the Creator’s name has been removed, from many of these names and they have been shortened to: Y’shua (Joshua), Yosef (Joseph), Yonathan (Jonathan) etc. The reason for this is because in the Jewish Talmud there is a man-made law that enforces a “ban” on pronouncing the sacred name of our Creator. This is against the scriptures, as we are commanded not to “add nor remove” words from the original inspired scriptures (see Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32, Proverbs 4:6, Revelation 22:18-19). Why should this matter? In Zephaniah 3:9 we read an important end-time prophecy about how YaHuWaH is going to restore the human race back to a “pure language” so that we may all “call upon him with one consent.” That pure language is Ancient Hebrew as we find that our Creator actually created the Hebrew Alphabet at Creation. Here is how it reads in the original Hebrew Old Testament:

34

Bereshiyth (Genesis) 1:1 In the beginning Elohiym createdאת ALEF & TAW the

heaven (shamayim) and ואת WAW, ALEF & TAW the earth (erets).

The first and last letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is called the “Alef” (A) and the “Taw” (T). These letters are seen in Ancient Paleo Hebrew Pictographs as “the red heifer” or the ox head א and the two sticks (the cross) ת

The letter “Waw” is a picture of the “nail” or the “tent peg.” Hence, the message in these three letters is: “the red heifer sacrifice, the nail, and the cross!” Since there are 22 Letters in the Hebrew alphabet, and YaHuWaH created us in his image and by the “spoken word” (made up of letters) these letters contain “frequencies” by which everything in the material world exists! That is why there are 22 strands in the human DNA! In Revelation 1:8, 1:11, 21:6, 22:13, the Messiah is called “the Alef & Taw” (Alpha & Omega) in Greek. The entire Hebrew Alphabet is a schematic of him! Hence the reason why being restored to the Edenic Language from creation is part of the “restoration of all things” (Acts 3:21).
