PAST and FUTURE - The Feasts of the LORD Are Important

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret

unto his servants the prophets.Every one of the Feasts of The LORD are prophetic pictures of good things tocome. The spring feasts are a picture of the Messiah who would come, whodid come, Who IS Come, as the suffering servant, The Lamb of God,prophesied by Abraham, who pays the atoning sin sacrifice, for the sins ofmankind. The gospels clearly show Yeshuas fulfillment of the spring feasts.The fall feasts, the 10 Days of Awe in particular, are about His return as theLion of Judah, the King of Kings, who will tread out the winepress of thefierceness of the wrath of God Almighty. The 10 Days of Awe are aboutTshuva, REPENTANCE, and begin with the Feast of Trumpets, the evening of

Sept 15, 2004 and climaxing with the ONLY biblically REQUIRED fast day,Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, September 25, 2004.

1. Passover April 24, 20052. Unleavened Bread April 25, 20053. First Fruits May 1, 2005

4. Pentecost June 13, 20055. Trumpets September 16, 20046. Day of Atonement September 25, 20047. Tabernacles September 30, 2004

Few today, understand the meaning of the term DEVOUT found 9 times, onlyin the New Testament. Devout men such as Cornelius reverenced God, gavealms, and prayed continuously (Acts. 10:2). For Jews, there was a standard ofthe Law of Moses, that the LORD required His people to be in Jerusalem forthe three REQUIRED Feasts of the LORD. 1. Passover, 2. Pentecost, and 3.Feast of Tabernacles. Each of the REQUIRED pilgrimage Feasts of the Lord,


7/21

was a rehearsal, and a prophetic picture of prophecy, that God's people wereto prepare themselves, for the expectation of the Messiah to come - BOTHtimes. First as the LAMB of God, Messiah Ben Joseph, the suffering servantand sin sacrifice. SECOND, as the LION of Judah, Messiah Ben David, theKING of Kings, and LORD of Lords. At His SECOND COMING He will tread

the winepress of the WRATH of God Almighty. The Holy Bible, in the torah,COMMANDS that these feast are to be honored FOREVER.

The Spring feasts are in the month of Abib or Nissan (Mid March to MidMay time frame). Abib, or Nissan, is the Beginning of Months. Nissan orAbib is when the barley crop is abib, or has grain heads, when the newmoon occurs. It is when the rabbis, who sit in Moses' seat, say it is. We,or NO other SPECIAL group, need to watch the moon and barley crop.That would be following a religious spirit, rather than the Holy Spirit. TheLord Jesus Christ made that VERY clear in Matt 23:1-3. (Any LunarSabbath keeper should be given warning to cast out the demonicreligious counterfeit spirit.) Nissan, or Abib, is the First Month. The New

Year DOES NOT begin in the fall; but, in the spring as The LORDinstructed Moses. The Spring feasts are in the Month of Abib, or Nissan,which will occur in what today is called Mid March to Mid May, timeframe.

DAY OF PREPERATION (Day before Passover): On Abib 14. a. Originallythe day the lambs were killed in Egypt and the blood placed over the doorpost and lintle of the Israelite dwellings. b. The day Yeshua, Jesus, wascrucified, died, and was buried, in the middle of the week, Wednesday, just

before dark, at even, (Dan 9:27 & Exo 12:18 & Lev 23:5 ). c. The Lord JesusChrist, Yeshua THE Messiah, THE Lamb of God, was sacrificed on a RomanCross, outside the walls of Jerusalem on WEDNESDAY, Nissan 14, the Day ofPreparation, (Wednesday NOT Friday) Nissan 14, 30 C.E., or Wednesday,April 3rd, in 30 A.D..

You are encouraged to click up and read this page regarding the PROOF ofwhat Day of the Week the Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified, and what Day ofthe Week that He was RISEN from that death on the Cross.http://www.dccsa.com/greatjoy/whenres.htm

The evidence presented there should dispense with ANY doubt, regarding the

FACT that The Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified, and Buried, on WEDNESDAY,Nissan 14, or April 3, 30 AD, outside the walls of Jerusalem. The evidencepresented there proves conclusively, that Yeshua THE Messiah wasResurrected on the SABBATH, as Lord of the Sabbath, on Saturday, atevening exactly 72 hours from when He died on that Roman Cross and wasburied, outside the walls of Jerusalem, on Wednesday Abib 14, 30 CE.

Beginning of the Spring Feasts or the FORMER rain.


8/21

1. FEAST OF PESACH (Passover) Ex 12:14: On Abib 14, which originallywas the day the Angel of Death passed over the Israelites in Egypt.

2. FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD (Seven days) Ex 12:17; 34:23; Lev23:15-17; Num 28:26: a. Originally observed as the week for removing theleaven (sin) from the house, and the eating each day, of unleavened bread, inremembrance of the hasty deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptsboondage. (Deliverance from the devils bondage to sin). The True God SetsFREE from Bondage and every false god is a control freak. Through Messiah,our Passover, THE Lamb of God, we may be set free from the bondage of sin,and set free from serving Satan by design or ignorance.

3. THE DAY OF EARLY FIRSTFRUITS RESURRECTION MessiahYeshua is the First Fruit proving the Resurrection of the dead andpromise of eternal life. (Yom Habikkurim or Sfirat Haomer):Lev 23:5-12,21: First day after weekly Sabbath meaning "the promise to come." a.

Originally, this was the time to reap the harvest, and to wave a sheaf of thefirstfruits of barley before The LORD, at the temple, by the priest, expressingthankfulness for the land. b. The same day deliverance for the Hebrews out ofEgypt began. c. This was the day AFTER Yeshua resurrected, that Mary metHim in the garden, just before He ascended to His Father to make atonement,(Heb 9:11-12).

4. FEAST OF SHAVOUT OR WEEKS (Pentecost, means 50): The countingof the Omer, seven (7) weeks or fifty (50) days from the day of Firstfruits, thisis also called the Later Firstfruits. Also referred to as the Day of Assembly inDeut 18:16. a. Originally the day the law was given to the Israelites at Mt.

Sinai, 50 days after they left Egypt; Three thousand slain. b. The priest wavedtwo loaves of leavened bread (wheat), made from the new flour, before TheLORD c. The day the Holy Spirit was given to the apostles, 50 days AFTERPassover First Fruits, that is 50 days after the Resurrection of Yeshua; Threethousand received salvation on that First Pentecost after Yeshua'sresurrection and ascension.

Beginning of Fall Feasts, or the LATER rain, or double outpouring rain (Hosea6:1-3; Joel 2:23; Zech.12:10). The Fall Feasts, or high holy days, is a pictureof the Messiah as the conquering, reining King, as He is fulfilling His role onthe earth. The book of revelation depicts the fulfillment of the Fall Feasts of

The LORD.

THE DAYS OF TESHUVAH (Return or Repentance): On Elul 1(August orSeptember - 6 months after Passover, which is the first month of Abib).Thisstarts 30 days before the Feast of Trumpets. Feast of Trumpets is Tshri 1 (7thMonth - September or October - in the 7th month. Remember Passover is inAbib, or Nissan, the first month) The days of Teshuvah, or days ofRepentance, ends Tshri 10 - on Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement, (total of 40


9/21

days). The 40 days of Teshuvah, is a time of returning and repenting beforeThe LORD. During those 40 days, and especially the last 10, and mostparticularly the LAST day of Yom Kippur, we prepare our heart by seekingforgiveness, through repentance. The last 10 days - the 10 days starting wththe Feast of Trumpets and ending with the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur,

are known as the Days of Awe.

4. DAY OR FEAST OF TRUMPETS (Rosh HaShanah or Yom Teruach)Num 29:1; Lev 23:23-25: On Tishri 1. Rosh HaShanah means "head of theyear." According to Jewish tradition, on this day the gates of heaven areopened, (Rev 3:7-11). Tradition has it as the anniversary of the creation of theworld and the beginning of the Kingdom of HaShem (God), Adam and Evewere created, the flood waters dried up, Enoch was taken by the LORD;Sarah, Rachel, and Samuel were conceived, Joseph was freed from prison byPharaoh, forced labor of Hebrews in Egypt ended, Job contracted leprosy, thestart of sacrifices on the altar built by Ezra. According to Jewish tradition all ofthose events happened on Tishri 1. The Feast of Trumpets is celebrated byblowing trumpets (shofar) 100 times to announce the setting up of TheLORD's eternal court.

The sounding of the shofar reminds us of the binding of Isaac by his fatherAbraham, and we too must be willing to make such sacrifices. On this day wereaffirm our acceptance of The LORD as our King, and He judges all of Hishuman creatures on this day and decides on their fate in the coming year. It isthe first month of the new civil year. These 10 days are called the Days of Aweor High Holy Days. This was also the time to bring all of your tithe (10th) for

the poor, widows, orphans, and the Levite priest who have no inheritance.Over these 10 days the wheat will be brought in on the threshing floor andseparated from the chaff. This 2-day feast comes AT A DAY AND HOUR NOMAN KNOWS and you are not required to go up to the temple on this day. a.This is the day set up to remember the blowing of trumpets when the greatsign appeared in the heavens of the announcement of Yeshuas birth (Lion ofJudah), which the Chaldean astronomers had been watching, and waiting for,for over four hundred years, (Rev.12:1-2). b. Will be the announcement ofYeshuas second coming and the Resurrection of the Saints, (IThess 4:16,17).c. Will be the end of Jacobs trouble, (Jer 30:7). d. Will be theend of first GogMagog War at the start of the millennial reign of King Yeshua.

6. DAY OF ATONEMENT (Yom Kippur) Lev 16:29; 23:26-32: OnTishri 10.Will end the 70th week of Daniel 9, and the culmination of the prophecy ofDaniel. It is the final day of the 10 Days of Awe. This is the most solemn andholy day in the Jewish year and is spent Fasting, Praying, and Confession ofSins. Yom Kippur is the only REQURED FAST day of the year, in the HolyBible. Yom Kippur is the day the chaff was burned up on the threshing floor on


10/21

the temple mount, and this is the day the gates of heaven are closed, (Rev3:7-11), and those who are not atoned for, will be judged. According to ancientJewish tradition, this is the day when the sealing angel of Ezekiel 9, Rev 7:2-3, and Rev 9:4, is sent forth to seal the people of God. a. Originally this wasthe only day of the year, that the high priest could enter the veil, into the Holy

of Holies, to make atonement for the sins of the nation, by sacrificing ananimal and placing 7 drops of blood on the east end of the top of the ark of thecovenant, or mercy seat. b. This was the day the transfiguration took placewith Moses and Elijah, representing the Torah and the Prophets, and the dayYeshuas ministry was confirmed after the order of Melchizedek. c. This alsomay be the day of the abomination and desolation, when the ANTICHRIST willSTOP the OBLATION Altar. God will judge every human heart, regarding if it islike the Holy Spirit filled apostles, who would risk their life, twice a day, everyday, AFTER Pentecost, to show RESPECT for the OBLATION Altar - OR - likethe antichrist, who wants the OBLATION altar Stopped. (Dan 11:31, 12:11; Mt

24:15, Mk 13:14). d. Will be Judgment Day, or the Day of the Lord, (2Pet 3:10-13; Matt 25:31-34; 2Cor 5:10). e. The day Satan will be locked away for onethousand years.

7. FEAST OF SUKKOT (Tabernacles, or Booths) Lev 23:33-43; Ex 23:16;34:22, John 7:2: On Tishri 15.Thiswas the first day the glory of The LORDshowed Himself in the tent of meeting.The Hebrew word Sukkot means hut,or booth, or tent. a. Originally commanded by The LORD for the Israelites toobserve, for seven (7) days, in remembrance of The LORD and their Hebrewancestors living in tents in the wilderness. Over these seven days a total of 70bulls were sacrificed, representing a bull for every nation. b. Birth of Yeshua,

yes, the birth of Jesus, is NOT the pagan Tamuz, or X-mass celebration.Yeshua was born on the Feast of Tabernacles. Tabernacles is the, truebirthday of Jesus, Sept 23rd, Feast of Sukkot. And the Word was made flesh,and tabernacled among us, when God took on Himself a tabernacle of flesh,Emmanuel, God with us, The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John1:14). c. All the nations will one day celebrate this feast, (Zec 14:16) d. Will bethe Marriage Supper (Feast) with the Lamb, (Rev 19:7,8).

The LAST GREAT DAY: (Seven Days after Sukkot) On Tishri 22.As aspecial part of the celebration once a year, the priest on this day, would godown to Gahanna and draw water from the well of salvation, (well of Yeshua)mixed with a little wine, and pour it over the alter, to remind the people of thecoming Messiah, that would pour out the Holy Spirit (Isa 12:1-3). The waterand wine mixed looked like blood. a. Yeshua was circumcised on that day. b.Yeshua claimed to be the living water to the priest in the temple as theypoured out the water on the alter, (John 4:14; 7:37-38). c. Will be the day ofthe pouring out of the Lord's Spirit on all flesh, later rain. d. Will be the LastGreat Battle of Armageddon, and the return of Yeshua, (2nd coming) and the


11/21

beginning of His millennium rein! e. Will be the day of the resurrection of thewicked dead AFTER the millennium for the judgment.

In Addition to the 7 Feasts of the Lord, the Jews have 2 other feasts thatare optional. Those feasts are Hanukkah and Purim. Yeshua risked Hislife to go to the temple at the feast of Deducation, (Hanukkah), to declarethat He is the Light of the world. Therefore, of these 2 extra feasts, itwould seem that Christians have good reason to celebrate Hanukkah,when Jesus declared that He is the Light of the world.

FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS or FEAST OF DEDICATION (Hanukkah):Approximately 60 days after the Last Great Day on Kislew 25. a. Originally theday the 2nd temple was rededicated after it was defiled by the Greek Syrianruler Antiochus IV, who slaughtered a pig on the alter. Thousands of Jewswere massacred during the years of this war. The feast marked the end of thewar, which was led by the Jewish leader, Yehudah Maccabee, to recapture

Jerusalem. This celebration lasted eight (8) days, and is observed with a 9-candle menorah, and is in commemoration to the miracle of the oil burning inthe temple 7 branch menorah, for 8 days, in 164 B.C. b. During this time Marywas visited by the angel Gabriel and told she was going to conceive by theHoly Spirit, and give birth to the Messiah, and the conception took placeTeveth 2, which was the last day of the celebration of Hanukkah. c. Yeshuadeclared Himself to be the light of the world during this feast, (John 9:5-7;10:22). d. Today this is a celebration of the rededication of our bodies(temples) to serving The LORD, Yeshua, Jesus, who is the light of the world.

PURIM (Feast of Lots): On Adar 14. a. Originally this is the celebration of the

deliverance of the Persian Jews from a plot to exterminate them. Both Israeland Judah had been divided but had to unite and turn to The LORD for mercy.A lottery decided which day the Jews would die, and the day was Adar 13, butEsther exposed the lies of Haman to the King, and he was hanged, andMordecai took his place as the kings chief minister. The Jewish nation earnedthe right to leave exile, return to the Holy Land, and rebuild the temple,(Esther 9:20-32). b. The story of Purim is symbolic in that Esther fasted forthree (3) days and then rose to go before the King to save all Israel, just asYeshua was in the tomb in the eatrh for three (3) days and then rose to bringsalvation to the world. c. Haman represented the sinful flesh, which was put to

death. Mordecai represented the Messiah Yeshua, and was given unlimitedcommand with great celebration.

The Feasts of the Lord are very helpful in understanding the book ofThe Revelation. The Temple really is the scene of the visions. Whenwe can understand what was ordained by God to be done in the Temple,that can give us great insight to have understanding of the prophecyof the Revelation. What Moses was instructed to make was a PATTERNof this Temple of which John was given revelation in heaven. The


12/21

visions in the Temple relate to the feasts of the seventh monthwhich are all about the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ asthe Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The fall feasts of the Lord tell ofthe coming of Messiah Ben David, the KING of Kings and LORD ofLords.

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to

show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; andhe sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words ofthis prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: forthe time is at hand.

No people ever reading the prophecy of the Revelation had morereason to believe that we may understand the Revelation in fullness.No people ever reading the Revelation have such reason to beleivethe time is at hand, as we have as we look at the Revelation TODAY.

The Passover feast of the Lord, the feasts of the First Month, areabout Messiah's first coming as Messiah Ben Joseph, the Suffering

Servant, the Most Holy, Sin Sacrifice, the Lamb of God. The Son ofGod was manifested to destroy the works of the devil, and He didthat, and He said, IT IS FINISHED. Alleluia Yeshua.

The feasts of the First Month are about Messiah's First Coming andthe Feasts of the seventh month are about His Second Coming.Messiah's first coming had been completed when John was given theREVELATION. This revelation is about the feasts of the seventhmonth, the revelation regarding the Second Coming of Adonai YeshuaHa Meshiach, the Lord Jesus Christ.

On the first day of the Seventh month, is the feast that no manknoweth the day or hour thereof, not even the angels, the Feast ofTrumpets. On that first day of the Seventh month, in the morning,

the High-Priest trimmed the lamps. Therefore, this Prophecy beginswith a vision of one like the Son of man, in the High-Priest'sgarments, appearing in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks,in the midst of them, trimming the lamps. He does this with whatappeared like a rod of seven stars in his right hand: and thispreparing of the lamps is done by the sending seven instructions tothe Angels and/or pastors of the seven Churches.

These preparations for the churches contain warnings against theapproaching Apostasy, and therefore relate to the times when theApostasy began to work strongly, and before it prevailed. It beganto work in the Apostles days, and was to continue working until theman of sin would be revealed to the world in fullness. It began towork in the metaphysical Gentiles, (New Age & WordFaith), and

Kabalistic Jews. Such groups used to be called Gnostics, or thosewho had special hidden knowledge. This is occultic, hidden knowledgeis the meaning of occult, or as Daniel called it, understanding DARKsentences. The occult is the OPPOSITE of true faith in Messiah,which puts everything IN THE LIGHT.

John calls the Gnostics of his time Antichrists. In his FirstEpistle, John says that in his days there were many Antichrists. TheApostles EARNESTLY CONTENDED with the synagogue of Satan of theGnostics. By the Apostles condemning them so authoritatively, the


13/21

Churches were safe from the Gnostic attacks during the opening ofthe first four seals. The visions at the opening of the first fourseals deal with civil affairs of the heathen Roman Empire. As longas the Apostolic doctrine prevailed, the Church remained in purityof the Faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fifth seal marks thedeparture of the Church from the doctrine of the Apostles, and theChurch's need to be admonished and chastised by these Epistles.

These admonishments and chastisements would continue until theApostasy, the great falling away from THE Faith took place.

This great falling away from THE Faith is marked in time by theopening of the seventh seal. The admonitions in these seven Epistlesrelate to the state of the Church in the times of the fifth andsixth seals. At the opening of the f ifth seal, the Church is purgedfrom hypocrites by a great persecution. The hypocrites will NOTENDURE persecution, and Jesus tells us that those who ENDURE TO THEEND, are the ones who will be saved. When the sixth seal is opened,that which restrained is taken out of the way, namely the sovereignnation states. The very existence of independent sovereign nationstates has been a restraint and hindrance to the antichrist global

Satanist goal of Babylon. That is what Nimrod's tower of Babel wasall about, to centralize all nations. At the opening of the seventhseal, the man of sin is revealed in fullness. However, saints canand should know his identity NOW.

Therefore, NO people ever to look at the admonishments given by theLord have greater need, and incentive, to pay attention to the sevenEpistles. After the lamps, John saw the door of the Temple opened;and by the voice as it were of a trumpet, was called up to theeastern gate of the great court, to see the visions. A throne wasset, the mercy-seat upon the Ark of the Covenant, which is betweenthe Cherubims. And a rainbow was about the throne, the emblem ofglory. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats. Andupon the seats were four and twenty Elders sitting, clothed in white

raiment, with crowns on their heads; representing the Princes of thefour and twenty courses of the Priests clothed in linen. And out ofthe throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings, and voices, likethe flashes of the fire upon the Altar at the morning OBLATIONsacrifice. John heard the thundering voices of those that soundedthe trumpets. And there were seven lamps of f ire burning, in theTemple, before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God, orAngels of the seven Churches, represented in the beginning of thisProphecy of the Revelation by the seven stars.

And before the throne was a sea of glass clear as crystal; thebrazen sea between the porch of the Temple and the Altar, filledwith clear water. And in the midst of the throne, and round aboutthe throne, were four Beasts full of eyes before and behind. One

Beast before the throne and one behind it, appearing to John as inthe midst of the throne, and one on either side in the circle aboutit, representing by the multitude of their eyes the people standingin the four sides of the peoples court.

And the first Beast was like a lion, and the second was like a calf,and the third had the face of a man, and the fourth was like aflying eagle. The people of Israel in the wilderness encamped roundabout the tabernacle, and on the east side were three tribes underthe standard of Judah, on the west were three tribes under the


14/21

standard of Ephraim, on the south were three tribes under thestandard of Reuben, and on the north were three tribes under thestandard of Dan, Numb. 2. And the standard of Judah was a Lion, thatof Ephraim an Ox, that of Reuben a Man, and that of Dan an Eagle. ACherubim had one body with four faces, the faces of a Lion, an Ox, aMan and an Eagle, looking to the four winds of heaven, withoutturning just like in Ezekiel's vision when this throne of God was

brought to earth rather than the prophet of God on the other side ofthe cross going to that throne in the third heaven.

And they rest not day and night, or at the morning and eveningOBLATION sacrifices, saying, holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty,which was, and is, and is to come. These are the same as whatappeared to Isaiah in a vision like this of John and Ezekiel. Isaiahalso saw the Lord upon a throne in the temple; and the Seraphimsthat cried, Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts. And when thosebeasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on thethrone, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty eldersfall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship Him thatliveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne,

saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour andpower: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure theyare and were created.

At the morning and evening OBLATION sacrifices, just as soon as thesacrifice was laid upon the Altar, and the drink-offering began tobe poured out, the trumpets sounded, and the Levites sang by coursethree times; and every time when the trumpets sounded, the peoplefell down and worshipped. It should be NO WONDER or mystery to anytrue Christian why when the Holy Spirit filled Apostles werethreatened, beaten, jailed and even the first Apostle Martyr, James,was killed in the Temple, that you would still find the Apostles inthat Temple, for the morning and even OBLATION sacrifices. Threetimes the people worshipped, and that is why the Beasts cry Holy,

holy, holy, and at the end of the song, the people prayed standing,till the OBLATION service was finished. In the meantime the Priestswent into the Temple, and there fell down before him that sat uponthe throne, and worshipped.

And John saw, in the right hand of him that sat upon the throne, abook written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals,like the book which Daniel was commanded to seal up. And none wasfound worthy to open the book, ONLY the Lamb of God.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the fourbeasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had beenslain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the sevenSpirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took

the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. Andwhen he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twentyelders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps,and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hastredeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue,and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings andpriests: and we shall reign on the earth.


15/21

At the foot of the Altar, stood a lamb as it had been slain, themorning OBLATION sacrifice; having seven horns, which are the sevenChurches, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sentforth into all the earth.

It was the custom for the High-Priest, seven days before the fast ofthe seventh month, the Day of Atonement, to continue constantly inthe Temple. There he would study the book of the Law, (Deuteronomy)that he might be perfect in it against the day of Atonement, YomKippur. This entire service was completely to be performed by thehigh priest. Part of that complex duty of the High Priest on the Dayof Atonement was reading the Law to the people. To help his studyingthe Law there were certain Priests appointed by the Sanhedrin to bewith him those seven days in one of his chambers in the Temple.These priests would be with him to review with him about the Law.

They would read it to him, and remind him to read and study ithimself. This high priest duty of opening and reading the Law thoseseven days, point to the Lamb's opening the seals. We are tounderstand God's time reckoning that those seven days begin in theevening before each day. The day begins in the evening, and the ONLYBIBLICALLY REQUIRED FAST DAY begins in the morning of the tenth day,after that seventh day of preparation.

The seventh seal was therefore opened on the day of Atonement. Andwhen he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven

about the space of half an hour. The High-Priest, stood at theAltar, having a golden Censer; and there was given him much incense,that he should offer it with the prayers of all Saints, upon thegolden Altar which was before the throne.

The custom was, on other days, for one of the Priests to take firefrom the great Altar in a silver censer; but on this day, for theHigh-Priest to take fire from the great Altar in a golden Censer.When he would come down from the great Altar, he took incense fromone of the Priests who brought it to him, and went with it to thegolden Altar. And while he offered the incense, the people prayedoutside in SILENCE, which is as the SILENCE in heaven for half anhour. When the High-Priest had laid the incense on the Altar, hecarried a Censer of it burning in his hand, into the most holy placebefore the Ark.

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of thesaints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. On other


16/21

days, there was a certain measure of incense for the golden Altar.But on the Day of Atonement there was a much greater quantity forBOTH the Altar and the Most Holy Place. That is why we see MUCHINCENSE in Rev 8:3. After this we see in Rev 8:5 And the angel tookthe censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into

the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings,and an earthquake. The angel, meaning by the hands of the Priests,he cast it to the earth without the Temple, for burning the Goat andthe other free will love offering sacrifices, until the eveningOBLATION sacrifice was ended.

And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and anearthquake, meaning, the voice of the High-Priest reading the Law tothe people, and other voices and thunderings from the trumpets andtemple music at the sacrifices, and lightnings from the fire of the

Altar.

When the worship of the day of Atonement was finished, the sevenAngels sound their trumpets at the great sacrifices of the sevendays of the Feast of Tabernacles. That is when the seven thundersutter their voices, which are like the music of the Temple, andsinging of the Levites, mixed with the soundings of the trumpets.Then the seven Angels pour out their vials of wrath, which are asthe drink-offerings of those sacrifices of the Feast of Tabernacles.

John said, after the visions of the sixth seal, And after thesethings I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth,holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blowon the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw anotherangel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God:and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it wasgiven to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth,neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants ofour God in their foreheads, Rev 7:1-3. This sealing speaks to atradition of the Jews, that upon the day of Atonement all the people

of Israel are sealed up in the book of life and/or book of death.

On the first day of the month Tishri, the seventh month, three booksare opened in judgment. First is the book of life with the names ofthose are written who are perfectly just. Second is the book ofdeath with the names of those are written who are atheists or verywicked. And third is the book with the names of those whose judgment


17/21


18/21

the appearance of four horsemen towards the four winds of heaven.The wars of the first four trumpets are set apart from those of thelast three by the mercy of God holding the winds, to minimize thedestruction of the NUCLEAR wars. Henry Gruver's visions noted themercy of God holding the four winds, and the three great woes.

We should remember and recognize the Ezekiel chapter nine vision asbeing coincident with this same time of GREAT DESTRUCTION. And,behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which liethtoward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; andone man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhornby his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar..The six men, like the Angels of the first six trumpets, arecommanded to slay those men who are not set apart unto God. The

hundred forty and four thousand are sealed. No man could number themwith the 666 number of the beast IN their right hand or forehead.They are sealed to preserve them from the plagues of the first sixtrumpets. The hundred forty and four thousand can be seen to betwelve, times twelve, times ten, times ten, times ten. Twelve beinga number related to groups of God's people, and ten the number forfullness or completeness. It may be seen that God's people, timesGod's people, times fullness, times completeness, times fullness, tobe ALL of God's people.

For sure God's people will be preaching the EVERLASTING GOSPEL ofRev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him;for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that madeheaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Thesaints of God who trust only in His Mercy, and only His Atonement,also do hope that by the preaching of the everlasting gospel, theygrow into a great multitude, which no man could number, of allnations, and kindreds, and people and tongues: for the Glory of God.

At the sounding of the seventh trumpet, THE LAST TRUMP, the saints

come out of the great tribulation with Palms in their hands. Thekingdoms of this world, by the war to which that trumpet sounds,become the kingdoms of God and His Christ. The worship of the greatHosanna was kept by the Jews upon the seventh or LAST day of theFeast of Tabernacles. On that seventh and last day of the Feast ofTabernacles they would be carrying Palms in their hands, and cryingHosanna.


19/21

After six of the Angels, just like the six men with slaughter-weapons, (Ezekiel 9), had sounded their trumpets, the Lamb in theform of a mighty Angel came down from heaven clothed with a cloud,and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were theSun, and his feet as pillars of fire.

We remember the form in which Christ appeared in the beginning of

this book of Revelation. Now, He had in his hand a little book open,which is the SAME book which he had just opened; because, Hereceived only one book from Him that sitteth upon the throne. Healone was worthy to open and look on this book. And he set his rightfoot upon the sea and his left foot on the earth, and cried with aloud voice, as when a lion roareth.

The High-Priest on the day of Atonement, would stand in an elevatedplace in the peoples court, at the Eastern gate of the Priestscourt, and read the Law to the people. This reading would be donewhile the Heifer and the Goat which was the Lord's lot, were burningoutside the Temple. The way and place this platform was set up forthis reading, helps understand what John saw. The High Priest would

be standing in such a manner, that his right foot might appear toJohn like it was standing on the sea of glass, and his left foot onthe ground of the house. That is how the High-Priest would be seento cry with a loud voice, in reading the Law on the day of Atonement.

And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. Thundersare the voice of a cloud, a multitude; and this multitude may be theLevites, who sang with thundering voices, and played with musicalinstruments at the great sacrifices, on the seven days of the Feastof Tabernacles: at which times the trumpets also sounded. For thetrumpets sounded, and the Levites sang, three times at everysacrifice.

I do believe that the seven thunders is a repetition of the Prophecy

of the seven trumpets in another form. And the Angel which I sawstand upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven,and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, that after the seventhunders there should be time no longer; but in the days of thevoice of the seventh Angel, when he shall begin to sound, themystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to hisservants the Prophets. (Rev 10:5-7)

The voices of the thunders last to the end of this world, and so dothose trumpets, SHOFARS.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, andsaid, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of theangel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went

unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And hesaid unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy bellybitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took thelittle book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in mymouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly wasbitter. Rev 10:8-10

This is very much like Ezekiel's eating of the book (Eze 3), whichwas full of lamentations and mourning and woe, but sweet in hismouth. Eating the book is becoming inspired with the Word of God and


20/21

Prophecy contained in it. It was sweet in John's mouth. We shouldknow that it is not about the bitter things like the Gentiles beingin the outward court of the Temple, or the treading the holy cityunder foot; or the prophesying of the two Witnesses in sackcloth andbeing killed by the Beast. It must begin right after that with thesweet Prophecy of the glorious Woman in Heaven, and the victory ofMichael over the Dragon.

After the sweetness, it is bitter in John's belly. This is where wesee the gorey details of the great Apostasy, the great falling awayfrom THE Faith.

It is bitterly sad how the glorious Church whose seed kept thecommandments of God, and had the testimony of Jesus, continued to bethe same on the outward appearance. The sad truth in the greatapostasy is very different from the outward appearance. Before thegreat apostasy her faithfulness came from the heart to fear God andkeep His commandments as the only acceptable response to the greatlove of God had changed. The heart now was covetous and licentiouscovered by a hypocritical religious appearance. The church in the

great Apostasy RIDES THE BEAST becomes an instrument of the globalantichrist state beast, (501c3). She no longer had the genuinefaith, devotion, and godliness, but became the great Whore. She wastotally corrupt in heart but kept her outward form and shape.

We should be well aware of the times. The prophesied 42 no rainjudgment on Israel is history. It concluded after exactly 42 monthsand in 2003 the Jordan again overflowed its banks after the sea ofGalilee being at the lowest level in the history of planet earth.The documentation of these facts may be seen athttp://www.dccsa.com/greatjoy/rain.htm

And while the Gentiles tread the Holy City underfoot shouting theAllah Akbar blasphemy of the moon god on the TEMPLE Mount the two

witnesses, prophesy somewhere like Elijah and Moses. This call ofElijah is upon all true faithful remnant believers to simply say toa world of antichrist confusion, How long halt ye between twoopinions. Like Moses, all true faithful remnant believers will becalling all to fear God and keep His commandments, to love the Lord,cleave to the Lord and to OBEY the Lord. There will be two to meetup in Jerusalem soon to announce the judgments of the plagues of thetrumpets and vials of wrath. They will meet up in Jerusalem toconclude their ministry where they will be killed and rise againfrom the dead, and ascend up to heaven in a cloud; and then theseventh trumpet sounds to the day of judgment.

John is inspired again having eaten the book, and begins theInterpretation: Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in

heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament:and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and anearthquake, and great hail. Because he mentions the Ark, we may knowthat this was the first Temple. The second Temple had no Ark. The

judgments answer to the wars in the revived antichrist fourth beastRoman Empire.

The true FAITHFUL Church, the glorious bride of the KinsmanRedeemer, is persecuted, and here on this earth she is pained intravail. The servants of God will be sealed with the fullness of His

Spirit, and the rest will be sealed for destruction with the mark ofthe Beast. At the opening of the seventh seal, are the seventrumpets and the pouring out of seven vials of wrath. We see it allagain from the perspective of the saints in the antichrist war uponthem. We see the Gentiles worshipping in the outward court, andfinally the Beast killing the witnesses in the streets of the greatcity. These things are clarified by the vision of a woman sitting on

the Beast, drunken with the blood of the Saints, and we see how thegreat city of Babylon is made to fall in one hour and come to theGREAT DAY of JUDGMENT.

The entire book of The Revelation has statements of these thingsthat the saints in the last days of the antichrist war on the saintswill understand to be clear and confirming restatements andconfirming second and third witness of what the Word of God hassaid. The book of the Revelation is like the hub of the wheel of allprophecy with all of the bible prophets as spokes of the wheelstrengthening the focal point of the hub. These same things may befound in the book of Deuteronomy, which are confirmed by TheRevelation. We see the judgments repeated, interpreted, and

confirmed by the visions following the seventh trumpet.

What a Great Joy to live for His glory in this time of GreatTribulation.

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and bythe word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto thedeath.Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to makewar with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments ofGod, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they thatkeep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may

have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gatesinto the city.

1 Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that dayshould overtake you as a thief.
