PAGE 3 GOD'S CALENDAR

SINCE GOD WANTS OUR RELATIONSHIP TO BE ONE OF LOVE, HE HAS TO BE HIDDEN AND NOT OBVIOUS. HE WANTS US TO HAVE TO LOOK FOR HIM AND SEARCH FOR HIM. GOD HAS THE PERFECT PLAN FOR REVEALING HIMSELF TO THE WORLD AND IT IS BEYOND OUR HUMAN UNDERSTANDING, BUT WE TRUST THAT IT IS PERFECT. HIS PLAN RUNS ACCORDING TO HIS SCHEDULE AND HIS CALENDAR.  ON THE FOURTH DAY, GOD CREATED TIME:

"AND GOD SAID, 'LET THERE BE LIGHTS IN THE EXPANSE OF THE SKY TO SEPARATE THE DAY FROM THE NIGHT, AND LET THEM SERVE AS SIGNS TO MARK SEASONS AND DAYS AND YEARS, AND LET THEM BE LIGHTS IN THE EXPANSE OF THE SKY TO GIVE LIGHT ON THE EARTH." GEN 1:14

ACCORDING TO GOD'S PLAN, CERTAIN THINGS HAPPEN ON EARTH ON A PARTICULAR DAY IN A PARTICULAR SEASON. THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS:

"BUT IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME, GOD SENT HIS SON, BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN UNDER LAW, TO REDEEM THOSE UNDER LAW, THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE FULL RIGHTS OF SONS" GALATIANS 4:4


AT HIS FIRST COMING, YESHUA READ HIS MISSION TO HIS FOLLOWERS:

"THE SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS ON ME,
BECAUSE HE HAS ANNOINTED ME
TO PREACH GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED,
TO PROCLAIM FREEDOM FOR THE CAPTIVES
AND RELEASE FROM DARKNESS FOR THE PRISONERS..." ISA 61

HE LEFT OFF THE SECOND PART OF THIS VERSE WHEN HE READ ISAIAH 61:1 IN THE SYNAGOGUE AT HIS FIRST COMING. HE DIDN'T DO THIS BECAUSE HE WAS FORGETFUL BUT DID IT ON PURPOSE.  THE SECOND PART OF THIS VERSE HAS TO DO WITH HIS MISSION IN HIS SECOND COMING. IT SAYS:

TO PROCLAIM THE YEAR OF THE LORD'S FAVOR AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD"

 IN LEVITICUS 23 THE LORD HAS ORDAINED FOR ISRAEL 7 FEASTS OF THE LORD TO BE CELBRATED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR:

"THE LORD SAID TO MOSES. SPEAK TO THE ISRAELITES AND SAY TO THEM: 'THESE ARE MY APPOINTED FEASTS, THE APPOINTED FEASTS OF THE LORD, WHICH YOU ARE TO PROCLAIM AS SACRED ASSEMBLIES'"

THREE ARE IN THE SPRING:

PASSOVER, UNLEAVENED BREAD AND FIRST FRUITS

ONE IS IN EARLY SUMMER:

PENTECOST OR FEAST OF WEEKS

THREE ARE IN THE FALL:

FEAST OF TRUMPETS OR ROSH HASHANNA, DAY OF ATONEMENT OR YOM KIPPOR AND TABERNACLES

YESHUA, JESUS,  FULFILLED THE SPRING FEASTS IN HIS FIRST COMING:

PASSOVER (JESUS SYMBOLIZING THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB THE ISRAELITES APPLIED TO THEIR DOORPOSTS IN ORDER TO BE SAVED) EXODUS 11

UNLEAVENED BREAD (IN THE TOMB, HIS BODY DID NOT DECAY SYMBOLIZING BREAD WITHOUT LEAVEN THAT GOD HAD TOLD THE ISRAELITES TO PACK ON THEIR WAY OUT OF EGYPT ) EXODUS 12,13

FIRST FRUITS (JESUS WAS THE FIRSTBORN OF THE DEAD SYMBOLIZING THE FIRST FRUITS OFFERING THE ISRAELITES MADE TO GOD TO SHOW THEIR THANKFULNESS)

HE FULFILLED THE EARLY SUMMER FEAST OF PENTECOST BY SENDING HIS HOLY SPIRIT 40 DAYS AFTER HIS RESURRECTION

SHAVOUT (PENTECOST - GOD SENDS HIS HOLY SPIRIT, THE TORAH WRITTEN ON
                      OUR HEARTS)

JUST AS YESHUA, JESUS, FULFILLED THE SPRING FEASTS IN HIS FIRST COMING, HE WILL FULFILL THE FALL FEASTS: ROSH HASHANNA OR FEAST OF TRUMPETS, YOM KIPPOR OR DAY OF ATONEMENT, AND TABERNACLES IN HIS SECOND COMING.

THE FIRST COMING WAS FOR SALVATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL.  THE SECOND COMING IS FOR THE NATION OF ISRAEL, WHICH INCLUDE GENTILE BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS THAT ARE SPIRITUALLY GRAFTED IN TO ISRAEL.  PAUL SAYS IN ROMANS 11:

"THAT ALL OF ISRAEL IS TO BE SAVED"

YESHUA, JESUS, WILL BE REVEALED TO ALL ON EARTH IN THE FULL POWER AND GLORY OF THE GODHEAD AS KING, JUDGE AND BRIDEGROOM. HIS KINGDOM WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN JERUSAELM. HE WILL BE:

"...RULER OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH"

IT WILL BE A TIME OF DARKNESS AND JUDGMENT BUT IT WILL ALSO BE THE GREATEST TIME OF REVIVAL AND HARVEST OF INDIVIDUAL SOULS IN THE EARTH'S HISTORY. YESHUA IS COMING TO TAKE THE NATIONS AND THE EARTH BACK FROM SATAN'S CONTROL, THE AUTHORITY OF WHICH HE ACHIEVED AT THE CROSS.
