This is already a time for planting vegetables, flowers and fruit. Our God, Yehovah (there is no letter j in Hebrew and wasn’t in English until the 16ft century Isaiah 12:2) wants our seed to be planted to produce fruit i.e. our talents, abilities, spiritual understanding and concern for others to be planted into others, watered by the study of His Word, and made fertile by our fellowship with the Holy Spirit to produce His good fruits of peace, joy, contentment, happiness, etc., for all to enjoy and us to prepare for His soon -coming Kingdom and our responsibilities in it.
Yehovah planted His own son in AD 28 on Wednesday Nisan or Aviv 14 just before Passover began at sunset and the start of the 15th of the month. Following His pattern of the Passover sacrificial memorial, Yeshua (Jesus) became Yehovah’s sacrificial lamb of the first year (Leviticus 12:5). He had reached his 3Oth year during AD 28 and was baptized by John the Baptist (a Levitical priest) to become eligible to be a Rabbi (teacher) and in Yah’s eyes (Yehovah’s shortened name found 49 times in the Bible) Psalm 68:4 a Melchizedek priest serving not just Israel but all mankind.
Since many proofs now exist that Yeshua was born Tishri 15,3BC (September 26) the first day of Feast of Tabernacles) and that His statement (John 2:19-22) about raising up the temple of Yah in 3 days generated the statement that the temple (Herod’s temple) had been +6 years in being completed shows that it was the year 28AD when Yeshua observed the Passover shortly after His baptism in the winter of 27AD and the next Passover He would be The Passover Lamb and complete His 7O week physical ministry at His ascension to heaven 4O days after 3 days in the tomb.
I know this goes against most scholars’ ideas, but I’ve learned that much of what we’ve been fed for years in bible schools, seminaries and so-called theologians has been very lacking in-depth-scholarship and is now being proven to be either miscalculated educated guesses, anti-Semitically biased against Yah’s people, chosen to convey His Word to us today (Roman 3:2), or altered to fit “Christianized pagan dogma proffered by the catholic church. (Isaiah 29:13-15)
It’s really great that the Holy Spirit is leading us to see all these “new things in these
“last days”(Daniel l2:9). But, most of all, it’s really awesome, to see the AMAZING, eye opening, “plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face” statements from Yeshua Himself that were there all along but we and others never took them at face value, always trying to explain away any reality that he might have been stating. The Holy Spirit is doing His job. He is really at this time “leading us into all truth”. Read John 14:17 ,26 and 16:13.
How many people observe “Good Friday’ and “Easter”? What’s good about Good Friday? It wasn’t the day of Yeshua’s crucifixion in the middle of the week on Wednesday as it was the 14th day of-the month (Leviticus 23:4-6) and it doesn’t make any sense to try and Justify it by saying that 3 days and nights were only-parts of 3 days-and night. In the “Hebrew language” the word “day” can mean a part of a day or a whole day BUT a “day and a night ” still means 24 hours. The sign of Jonah was the only sign Yeshua said He would give to the world. (Luke 11:2g-3o, Matthew 12’39-4O) How plain does the word have to be to get the point across? Why do scholars look elsewhere? Why do they always try to prove man’s ideas explaining away the truth instead of simply the way Yeshua said it? Yeshua came out of the gave 72 hours after being put in it on Saturday evening before sunset, not Sunday morning as most pastors try to tell you, “Ishtar” Sunday morning is a very ancient Babylonian Fertility celebration and has nothing to do with Yeshua just as Sunrise services were pagan as seen in Jeremiah 7:18, 44:19 and Ezekiel 8:14-16.
The Catholic-led theologians over the years with their “anti-Jewish bias” never want
anyone to even consider that Yehovah’s Feast Days just might have some significance in timing of events and might fill the role pictured by the Feasts and the sacrifices, the Torah (instruction) giver, the Holy Spirit giver and the coming King, conqueror and restorer of REST for the whole earth and it’s inhabitants. Besides rest from chaos, this rest also includes the weekly Sabbath, annual Festival sabbaths, the 7 year land rest “shmita” and the 50th year Jubilee Sabbath. (Zechariah 14:16-19, Isaiah 56:6-8 and 66:2O-23). Note that these rests are for ALL people not Just “Jews”. They are the Feasts of Yehovah. (Leviticus 22:2) and these RESTS are to remind everyone of Yah’s plan for all people to come back to Him to become not only His obedient children but become His priests/teachers/judges for the millennium to lead those coming home in the greater Exodus and all the remaining people of the world after the return of Yeshua to obey Yah’s commands and accept Yeshua as their Lord, Savior and God in the flesh and peace as never before with Satan locked up for 1OOO years.
Yah wants us to avoid even every mention of pagan holidays and practices and as Paul said in 1 Corinthians1:7-1, “Let us keep the Feast with with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” — not lies from traditions or paganism which keeps you in bondage and blind to the real truth that’s in His Word.
Even the encyclopedias are under the curse of “camouflaged paganism.” To avoid this, go back to the Encyclopedia Britannica of 1934. It states that Easter, Ostara or Eastre was the goddess of spring in the ancient religion of the Angles and Saxons. Every April a festival was held in her honor. What about Deuteronomy 12:30-32? Does it still mean to not take pagan days,symbols, and practices and mix them with Yehovah’s true Holy Days and instructions ?
Many of today’s church leaders compromise the word of Yah so badly saying it’s alright to maintain “traditional” holidays and yet ignore Yah’s word. We are to be “set apart” from Satanic practices and worship our Heavenly Father and Yeshua “in sincerity and truth”. In John l7:I7-22 Yeshua asked the Father to “set us apart (sanctify) us with His truth.
Let us keep the Feasts this year “in Sincerity and Truth” not in myths and fables and
pagan idol worship camouflaged as Christian tradition. Let’s be ”ONE” with Yeshua, obeying His teachings and instructions fully, following His example observing Passover and the days of Unleavened Bread, looking forward to the Wedding supper of the Lamb, eating and drinking with him in our new bodies in the Kingdom of Yehovah after His return.
