The Feast Cycle was given
by Yahuah as an annual reminder of The Plan of Salvation and how as the Bride
fulfills it. Each Feast is a Moedim (rehearsal) of The
Heavenly Wedding and is defined in The Heavenly Scroll. These Holy Days are
"Appointed Times" or dates with our Father and Groom. We should be
celebrating all Feasts from that Intent and standpoint while teaching our
families the meaning behind The Heavenly Scroll… which is of a Groom running
the course of a Wedding (Psalm 19).
The book of Revelation is
an accounting of The Heavenly Scroll as John was shown the meaning behind it.
We see below the Bride has “made herself ready” and the marriage covenant (The
Yahushaic Covenant) is fulfilled.
It is important to note
that the Bride must make HERSELF ready for this occasion. We do this by walking
The Way of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering and keeping the Feasts as defined
in The Heavenly Scroll.
Revelation
19:6-9
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of
rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “HalleluYahuah! For
Yahuah Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him
glory! For the Wedding of the Lamb has come, and HIS BRIDE HAS MADE HERSELF
READY! 8 Fine linen, bright and CLEAN, was given her to wear.” 9
Then the Angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to
the Wedding Supper of the Lamb
Yom Kippur is The Wedding
Day! It is the day of liberation. It is the one day a year the Kingdom of
Yahuah is made manifest on Earth through the Children of Yahuah. I am going to
show that to properly keep The Wedding Day we:
1. must walk the Way of Mikveh, Circumcision, and
Offering to prepare our bodies, minds, and souls to meet our Groom at the Altar.
2. are to present ourselves arrayed in the garments of a
Queen as we are marrying the King as told in The Heavenly Scroll.
3. to rest from the curse of Adam as it is a Sabbath, a
celebration of the 7th Millennium
4. are to do things on this day, that the Bride does in
the marriage as laid out in Psalms 31, Isaiah, and Zachariah
as we “anah” or humble ourselves and serve our family.
5. dine with our Groom on the Sacrifice of Atonement (eat
meat cooked over an open flame as it is a Sabbath).
6. Afflict (bare) our souls in humility to our
High Priest as we come to know him intimately trusting him with our inner most
secrets, fears, shortcomings, etc.
7. trust that our High Priest can take those inner most
secrets to our Father to mediate on our behalf.
8. become one with our Groom as “the two shall become
one” AT (that) ONE (mo)MENT when “atonement” is made before Yahuah and the
marriage is consummated.
The Feast Cycle was given
to us as a reminder annually of The Heavenly Wedding whereby we rehearse the
events of the Wedding as the Bride of the Messiah.
In The Heavenly Scroll,
the actual meaning of each Feast is defined by the constellations. Yom Kippur is represented by GEMINI. We
covered ARIES and TAURUS in previous chapters.
The story told by the
major stars in the constellation GEMINI are that of the Prince,
having conquered his enemies and made them his footstool, comes in Great Glory
to gather his Bride from all nations to attend The Wedding. It represents the
reunification to unite (Thaumim) the Two Houses of Israel (the
remnant Bride). Hebrew name for this
constellation is Thaumim meaning “Joined Together” as in Exodus 26:24.
The Romans called the two
“twins” named Castor and Pollux which are now the names of the two brightest
stars. These are the Latin equivalents of Hercules and Apollo from the Greeks. The
star in the left foot of one figure bears the name “Al Henah” which means
“wounded” or “bruised.” The star in the right knee of the other figure and
bears the name “Mebsuta” which means “to trample underfoot, tread down (step
on many times until flat).” Another star is called “Waset” or “Waseth”
which means “appointed”.
The Messiah comes twice:
the first time to serve as High Priest and be wounded or bruised for our
transgressions (Isaiah 53:5). Then he returns to fight and
vanquish his enemies. In the old Middle East cultures, the victor would either
walk on or put his foot on the defeated enemy, thus 'treading him underfoot.'
It was a sign of total victory.
The tenth zodiac
constellation is the two joined together (GEMINI), who are
the Bride and Groom as well as the Two Houses of Israel depending on how it is
read. Reach constellation has multiple applications.
This constellation has
many “meanings” depending on the context. If we consider the Plan of Salvation
this constellation could be in reference to the dual nature of the Messiah.
First coming as a man, the
suffering servant; then returning Divine as the conquering King. It can mean the
reunification of the Two Houses of Israel. It can represent the Marriage
between the Bride and Groom.
The Creator’s Graphic Novel
Mazzaroth 3:2
In the scroll below of GEMINI, we
have the 3 major stars and the story told of that constellation by the minor
constellations associated with it. We see that at this point, the Princess Bride
has been seated on the throne waiting to become Queen (CASSIOPEIA).
Yahusha has made his enemies his footstool (Hebrews 10:13 and Psalms
110:1) and is now “treading them under his foot” (meaning of LEPUS).
He is the Prince who brings peace to both Houses of Israel. He is then married
to the Bride becoming her redeemer and exalted as King by the Father.
This event in the stars
where the Prince returns to wed the Princess and is elevated as King, was
memorialized on Yom Kippur. We see the fulfillment of this Scroll in the
prophecies of Daniel and John in Revelation:
Daniel 7:1-2 & 9-16 (in context of Revelation Chapter
4-5)
1 In the first year of Baalshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had
a dream, and visions in his mind (as he studied The Heavenly Scroll of Enoch) as he lay
on his bed (looking up at the stars and constellations).
Then he wrote down his dream (H2493. A revelation from Yahuah, he was not asleep, he
was wide awake writing down his visions), beginning the account of these matters: 2
Daniel spoke, and said; I saw (The
Heavenly Scroll) in my vision by night (by night - because he was observing the stars, not sleeping),
and behold (written in the stars), … 9 I beheld (studying the Enoch Zodiac) until the 4 sat the Thrones
in place (the 4 living creatures with wings Revelation
4:6,8 on the outer rim of the Enoch Zodiac that move The Heavenly
Scroll in position), and the Ancient of Days (Yahuah)
did sit (on the Throne in Heaven), Whose
vesture was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool; His Throne
was like the fiery flame, and His wheels (4 wheels within a wheel that Ezekiel described) as
burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued (from
His mouth) and came forth from before Him (His Words
are like an all-consuming fire Jeremiah 23:29 and Hebrews
12:29); thousand upon thousands (of
stars in the heavens) ministered to Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand
(of stars) stood before Him (Daniel was looking at The Heavenly Scroll, and all the stars
in the heavens which represent Angels/Malikim); the judgment was set (between the Son of Man and the Son of Perdition Revelation
4:2), and the books (of The
Heavenly Scroll, there are 3 books as I revealed in my book Creation
Cries Out! The Mazzaroth) were opened.
11 I beheld (Yahuah sit on the Throne
of Judgment), then, because of the voice of the great Words which ‘the
horn’ (Strong’s H7162 - should be ‘Shofar’,
Yahuah’s voice sounds like a loud Shofar blast Revelation 4:1, Hebrews
12:19) sounded; I beheld (what is
written in The Heavenly Scroll) until the beast (Son of Perdition) was slain (by the Son
of Man) and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame (message behind the pictographs of SAGITTARIUS).
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their governments
taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time (message behind the pictograph of TAURUS).
13 I saw in the night (sky) visions
(of The Heavenly Scroll, like I said he was laying
down at night looking at the stars), and behold (the constellation ORION), One like the Son of man (Revelation 1:7) came with the clouds of
heaven (the Milky Way),
and (The Son of Man and Son of
Perdition) came to the Ancient of Days (Yahuah,
Who had taken His seat to judge between them), and they (both) were brought together (to
reveal the contents of The Heavenly Scroll Revelation 5) before
Yahuah. 14 And there was given him (the Son
of Man) ruling authority, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all peoples,
nations, and languages should obey him; His government is an everlasting
government (Revelation 5:10),
which will not pass away; and his Kingdom is one which will not be destroyed (message behind the pictograph of LEO). 15
I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, and the visions (of The Heavenly Scroll) that passed through my mind (as he studied the Enoch Zodiac) troubled me (as he lay on his bed at night, looking up at the stars, he
was not dreaming, he was writing these down as Yahuah gave him understanding as
he said in verse 1). 16 I came near to one of those (Angels) who stood by and asked him the truth of all
this (what do these constellations mean?). So
he told me, and revealed the interpretation of these things to me (revealed the meaning behind the Heavenly pictographs).
Daniel goes on from there
to reveal what he was shown concerning The Heavenly Scroll! The Book of
Daniel, like the Book of Revelation, is a detailed
explanation and accounting of The Heavenly Scroll, specifically, as it relates
to the Son of Man as portrayed by the constellation ORION
becoming King!
These books describe how
the contents of this scroll play out in the course of human history, as the
constellations are pictographs (physical to Spiritual parallels)! ORION
represents the Son of Man of whom The Heavenly Scroll speaks… Yahusha is the
fulfillment of that scroll! We must have this foundation (of The Heavenly
Scroll) if we are going to properly interpret these prophetic books and keep
the Feasts in Spirit and in Truth i.e. the Spiritual INTENT behind the Truth of
His Word.
The center of The Heavenly
Scroll is a picture of the Wedding Day which was memorialized as Yom Kippur. It
portrays the Groom, Melchi Tsedek, and the Bride before the Rainbow Throne
becoming one through covenant.
The Rainbow Throne
represents the Bride taken from all nations of every nationality and skin
color. Notice above the emerald colored Rainbow Throne.
Revelation 4:2-3
2
And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a Throne was set in (the midst or middle of) The Heavenly Scroll, and One
sat on the Throne. 3 And He Who sat there had the appearance of a
jasper and a sardius stone, and there was a Rainbow surrounding the Throne,
like the appearance of an emerald.
Revelation 7:9
After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe
and people and language, standing in front of the Throne and before the Lamb.
The High Priest would
enter the Holy of Holies once a year on Yom Kippur and present himself at the Altar
to enter into covenant and make the sacrifice of atonement. This is
representing the marriage between the Bride/Groom who is Yahusha and the
Nazarenes. The High Priest standing in for Yahusha would then offer an
atoning sacrifice for “Israel” who represented the Bride before the Altar.
The Holy of Holies in the
physical Temple was designed after the Throne in Heaven. The Holy of Holies
contains 8 Seraphs (6 winged symbolic creatures), a 7 candlestick
Menorah, and the Throne/Ark of the Covenant enclosed by a veil. The Throne in
Heaven has the same image of a man wearing a crown and Turban standing behind
the Throne. The High Priest wearing a crown/Turban would enter through the veil
and complete the Throne in Heaven on Earth once per year representing The
Yahushaic Covenant the most Holy Day of the year.
Colossians 2:16-17
16 Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink (how you keep the Letter), or with regard to a Feast, a Tekufah
(celebration of
the new season called the New Month), or (how you keep) a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the
things to come, but the body that casts that shadow (The light of the stars called the Heavenly Scroll) is
fulfilled by the Messiah.
Hebrews 10:1
The Law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not
the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same
sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near
to worship (Yahusha has made the final sacrifice and
lives eternally before Yahuah presenting himself as a “Lamb that was slain”).
We are going to examine
the design of the physical Temple and demonstrate that it is a representation
of the center of The Heavenly Scroll (The Enoch Zodiac) which is in the
midst/middle of the scroll Revelation 4:2 and Revelation 5:6). It
depicts Revelation 5:6 and 4:1-3 and many other passages as all the prophets
witnessed The Enoch Zodiac (what Enoch drew from being shown The Heavenly
Scroll):
Revelation 5:6
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of
the Throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders (center of The Heavenly Scroll).
Revelation 4:1-3
1 The Throne in Heaven after this I looked (into
the stars), and behold, a door was opened in heaven (John was shown the meaning of The Heavenly Scroll);
and the first voice which I heard was (Yahuah, the
Aleph/Tav), as it were, of a Shofar talking with me, which said: Come up
here, and I will show you things (in The Heavenly
Scroll) which must take place after this. 2 And immediately I
was in the Spirit; and behold, a Throne was set in (the
midst or middle of) The Heavenly Scroll, and One sat on the Throne. 3
And He Who sat there had the appearance of a jasper and a sardius stone,
and there was a Rainbow surrounding the Throne, like the appearance of an
emerald.
This is the Throne
in Heaven. The Throne in Heaven is the centerpiece or foundation of The
Heavenly Scroll. The Messiah must restore the Throne in Heaven which has been
taken by force by the False Messiah:
Matthew 11:12
From the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of heaven has
suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.
The False Messiah (Hesus
Horus Krishna aka Jesus H. Christ) has been seated on the Throne in Heaven by
force over the Age of PISCES. He is pictured below in the center
of the Christian Zodiac making the hand sign of the Mark of the Beast Chi, Xi,
and Sigma.
For more information on
this, refer to my book The Antichrist Revealed!
The Holy of Holies is the
Throne on Earth and is a reflection or shadow cast by the Throne in Heaven. In
order to complete the shadow on Earth cast by in The Throne in Heaven, we must have:
·
Melchi Tsedek – the Zadok High
Priest wearing The Crown of the Son of Man (emanating 6 radiant
projections)
·
4 Seraphim surrounding the Throne
the Prophets called Living Creatures with 6 Wings
·
4 Seraphim on the outer edges of
the Throne
·
The Throne itself
·
The 7 Candlestick Menorah
We are going to examine
the list of things found in The Heavenly Scroll and compare it to the design of
the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the Covenant was placed.
We will discover the
Truth, that the physical Temple is a reflection of Yahuah’s Abode in Heaven
called The Throne in Heaven or The Heavenly Scroll.
In the center of The
Heavenly Scroll, the man standing before the Rainbow Throne is wearing a crown
(Turban) on his head. There is a golden ring of fire sitting directly on
his head below the 6-pointed crown. This is The Crown of the Son of Man (the
number of man is 6). We see Ezekiel describe this “crown of fire” on his
head:
Ezekiel 1:27
From the form of his waist upward, I saw the appearance of amber; a
brilliant whiteness with colors of fire; spectrum colors: red, yellow, blue,
etc., with the presence of fire surrounding its head.
The crown is then topped
with 6 brilliant emanations making a crown indicating the one sitting on the
throne is the Son of Man.
This “crown” is what
adorns the head of the Zadok Priesthood (High Priests) as the physical
High Priests were a “stand in” for the coming Eternal Zadok High Priest
represented in The Heavenly Scroll. The High Priests served the man-made copy Altar
on Earth, while the Eternal High Priest serves the True Altar in Heaven.
Hebrews 9:24
For Yahusha did not enter a man-made copy (shadow) of the true sanctuary, but he entered Heaven itself, now
to appear on our behalf in the presence of Yahuah.
Hebrews 8:1
The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a High Priest,
who sat down at the right hand of the Throne of Majesty in Heaven,
Hebrews 6:20
where Yahusha our forerunner (first to be
adopted through resurrection) has entered (The
Heavenly Temple) on our behalf. He has become a High Priest forever in
the order of Melchizedek.
This “crown” is also known
as the Turban of the High Priest. The Turban has a golden crown under the
turban represents the “Crown of fire” which sits below the Turban on the Son of
Man in the Heavenly Throne.
The Temple itself was
designed after the man on the Throne in Heaven, the priestly chambers are the
Crown of the Son of Man also called the Turban from my book The Kingdom:
All the Prophets in
Scripture witnessed what is known as 6 winged Seraphs surrounding the Throne
and on the outer ring of The Heavenly Scroll.
Revelation Chapter 4:5-6
5
And out of the Throne proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and voices; and
there were seven lamps of fire burning before the Throne (The Heavenly Menorah), which signify and represent
the complete Plan of Yahuah (7-spirits/7 stars of PLEIADES).
6 And before the Throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal (blackness of space). And in the middle of the Throne,
AND surrounding the Throne, were four living creatures (8 total Seraphs 4 in the middle and 4 surrounding on the outer edge).
These Seraphs are the SYMBOL
of The Heavenly Scroll.
h8314. saraph
From saraph; burning, i.e. (figuratively) poisonous (serpent);
specifically, a saraph or symbolical creature (from their copper color) -- fiery (serpent),
seraph.
As we see in Strong’s
above, they have a copper color as seen in The Heavenly Scroll. Each of these
Seraphs have 6 wings and as we see in the Throne in Heaven they are singing
“Holy, Holy, Holy”
Revelation Chapter 4:8
And each of the four living creatures (surrounding
the Throne) had six wings, they were full of eyes around and within; and
they did not cease day and night, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Father Yahuah
Almighty
Now, look at the Seraphs
surrounding the “Ark Throne” in the Temple. Notice how they have two wings
pointing upward and two sets covering their bodies (6 wings).
Ezekiel witnessed the
Throne in Heaven (The Enoch Zodiac) and described the appearance of the
Seraphs:
Ezekiel Chapter 1:11
This was the description of their faces. Then two of the wings of the
four Seraphs spread upward, one touching the wing tip of another creature on
either side; and 2 sets of wings (double what spread
upward) covered their bodies (6 wings total).
Notice if you were looking
right at that Seraph (the image above is of the side) all you would see
is the “tips” of the other two wings sticking out, as the rest is covering in
front of their bodies. Looking right at them in front, you would see two large
wings and two “tips” sticking out AT THE BOTTOM.
In the physical Temple there are 8 Seraphs represented
to recreate the “copy/shadow” of the Throne in Heaven. We are never taught the
meaning of the 2 standing next to the Ark, making 4 surrounding the Ark just
like the center Throne of the Enoch Zodiac singing Holy Holy Holy…. But what about
the other 4 on the outer ring. Where are THEY represented in the Temple?
We see the 4 Seraphs
surrounding the Throne, the two on the wings of the Ark and then the two
standing beside it.
If you look on the back wall at the top in the image to
the left, you see two more painted above it, making 6 total in the Holy of
Holies. When the Veil is drawn to expose the Throne, we see 2 more Seraphs on
the curtain to represent the 4 on the outer ring giving us 4 on the top wall
and 4 on the bottom curtain.
If we were properly taught
the design of the Temple Throne Room (Holy of Holies), we would see 8
Seraphs, 4 before the Throne (center of the Enoch Zodiac) and 2 at the
top on the wall and 2 at the bottom on the curtain completing the outer ring of
The Enoch Zodiac.
Depending on how you look
at it, the two on the Ark and the two on the curtain represent the 4 in the
center of the Enoch Zodiac. The two on the back wall and two beside the Ark
could represent the 4 on the outer ring of The Enoch Zodiac. There are 8
Seraphs in the Temple surrounding the Throne in the Holy of Holies, as it was
designed as an Earthly copy of the Throne in Heaven (The Heavenly Scroll).
This matches exactly what all the Prophets “saw” as they no doubt studied the
Enoch Zodiac passed down to the chosen few Zodok High Priesthood.
We see “in Heaven” there
is a 7 candlestick Heavenly Menorah.
Revelation Chapter 4:5
And out of the Throne proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and voices;
and there were seven lamps of fire (the Heavenly
Menorah) burning before the Throne, which signify and represent
the complete Plan of Yahuah (7-spirits/7 stars of PLEIADES).
This is an artist
rendition of what John described as the center of The Heavenly Scroll:
We see the Throne in John’s
vision, the Menorah before the Throne, and the 24 elders about the Throne.
Below is Enoch’s representation, again we have the Rainbow Throne, the 4 living
creatures and the 24 elders represented by exactly 24 stars “falling before the
Throne”.
Below is the design of the
physical Holy of Holies, we see the exact same design as it is a shadow cast by
the Throne in Heaven. We see the Throne, surrounded by 4 Seraphs (the other
4 are not visible in this picture) and the Menorah before the Throne.
The physical Temple was a
depiction of Yahuah’s Throne which is in The Heavenly Scroll. The Ark was the
Altar where the Son of Man would come to meet the Bride before the Throne
(rainbow) on Yom Kipper. The Temple on Earth was never the true home or resting
place of the Creator. It was simply a shadow of His dwelling in “Heaven”.
Isaiah 66:1
This is what Yahuah says: "Heaven is My Throne, and the Earth is My
footstool. Where is the house you will build for Me? Where will My resting
place be?
Hebrews 10:1
The Law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the realities
themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated
endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship (Yahusha has made the final sacrifice and lives eternally
before Yahuah presenting himself as a “Lamb that was slain”).
Revelation 5:6
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of
the Throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders.
Hebrews 9:24
For Yahusha did
not enter a man-made copy (shadow) of
the true sanctuary, but he entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf
in the presence of God.
I am going to breakdown
the Scripture in Ezekiel Chapter 1 that describes The Throne in
Heaven and break apart The Enoch Zodiac demonstrating the True meaning of this
Scripture. Ezekiel, John, and Daniel
all described The Enoch Zodiac in great detail. The Enoch Zodiac was passed
down through the ages to the Major Prophets and the House of Zadok High Priests
and used by them to discern The Word of Yahuah preserved in The Heavenly
Scroll.
Psalm
19:1-6
1The Heavenly Scroll (Shamayim - stars, Sun, and constellations) are telling of the Glory (which is Yahusha Hebrews 1:3) of Elohim (John 1:14); And their expanse (The Divine Counsel) is declaring the Work of His Hands
(Enoch
35:3, John 1:3). 2 Day to day The Heavenly Scroll pours forth speech, And
night to night the Sun/stars/constellations reveal knowledge. 3
There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. 4
Their line (Zodiac
means ‘line/path/way the Sun takes travels through the constellations’) has gone out through all the Earth
(the ecliptic
plane), And their
utterances to the end of the world (John 1:9). In the stars/constellations Yahuah has placed a tabernacle for the Sun
(Luke 1:78-79,
Matthew 4:16-17, the center of the Enoch Zodiac, the Throne in Heaven), 5 Which (the Sun) is as a Bridegroom (John 3:19) coming out of his chamber (to marry the Bride John 3:29); It rejoices as a Strong Man (ORION) to run (riding the clouds of heaven) his course (of a Wedding as the Groom…
the Feast
Cycle/The Heavenly Wedding). 6 The Sun’s rising (Luke 1:78, Matthew 4:16-17) is from one end of the heavens (Shamayim/stars), And its circuit (Zodiac) to the other end of them; And there
is nothing hidden from its Light/Revelation.
Psalm 89:2
I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established
your faithful promise (LOGOS) of
salvation in The Heavenly Scroll itself.
Psalm 119:89
Your Word (LOGOS
/ DEBAR), Yahuah,
is Eternal; it stands firm written in The Heavenly Scroll.
Enoch
35:3
I
Blessed Yahuah Author of Glory (The Heavenly Scroll Psalm 19:1), Who had made those Great and
Splendid Signs (of
the Zodiac), that
they might display (to all mankind Deut. 4:19) the Magnificence of the Works of
His Hands (The
Plan of Salvation Psalm 19) to Angels and to the souls of men (His Divine Counsel); and that these (Splendid Signs in The
Heavenly Scroll)
might Glorify all His Works and Operations (The Plan of Salvation); that we might see the effect of
His Power (as
Creator to Write His Plan into the fabric of Creation on Day 4 and control the
flow of history and fulfill His Promise); and The Heavenly Scroll might Glorify the Great
Labor of His Hands (and we might come to know Him Romans 1, John 8:19 and His Son Psalm 19); and Bless Him Forever.
First, I am going to deal
with Ezekiel in Chapter 1. I went back into the Hebrew texted and
added the proper English words in translation to coincide with what he
describes using The Enoch Zodiac as the source of his revelation. In other
words I did what should have been done thousands of years ago and added context.
Our pagan scribes twisted The Heavenly Scroll into the Sun Chariot of Helios
the Sungod.
I fixed all that nonsense...
if anyone has any doubt, bring it to me! I will take you to the Hebrew text and
prove it. I am going to "do what I do" and teach us all what Ezekiel
witnessed and prove he witnessed the exact same image in a vision that was
given to Enoch. Demonstrating the consistency of His Word
throughout the ages dating back to creation.
Let's start with the
overall color scheme laid out in Ezekiel to demonstrate what he
was studying was The Enoch Zodiac! The color scheme is so
important it has been maintained in detail through the age until today. We see
this is true as the exact color scheme in the image I use today was preserved
on the floors and ceilings in ruins found in Israel dating back to the first
few centuries before this knowledge was destroyed by Christianity and Judaism.
While the pagan Greek and Christian Zodiacs were changed into full color, and
twisted into Sun Worship, not so with the Hebrew rendition. Below is the Enoch
Zodiac laid out in a beautiful ceiling and floor mosaics dating back to the
early first centuries. Notice the same color scheme is kept without fail.
This color scheme was not
kept in pagan Greek and Christian mosaics:
Ezekiel 1:4,16,27
4
And from within the middle of The Heavenly Scroll there was fire, the appearance
of (the middle was) amber… 16 This
was the appearance of the wheels and their design: each was the color of beryl,
and all four had the same likeness… 27 From the form of his waist
upward, I saw the appearance of amber…
The Scroll had the overall
color of Beryl, while the inner Throne room had a little darker color like
amber matching The Enoch Zodiac perfectly:
What color scheme
did John see in Revelation?
Revelation 4:2-3
2
And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in (the midst or middle of) The Heavenly Scroll, and One
sat on the Throne. 3 And He Who sat there had the appearance of a
jasper and a sardius stone, and there was a rainbow surrounding the throne,
like the appearance of an emerald.
We see the exact
same color described by Daniel as he too witnessed The
Enoch Zodiac:
Daniel 10:6
His (the Son of Man’s) body was like beryl,
his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his
arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound
of his words like the sound of a multitude.
It should be
obvious at this point; the Prophets witnessed and described The
Enoch Zodiac but let’s and further demonstrate the vital truth.
On the outer rim
of The Heavenly Scroll there are 4 Living Creatures with wings called Seraphim.
Ezekiel 1:5-6
5 Also on the outside of the
midst (of The Heavenly Scroll) were the figures
of four living creatures; this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a
man; human shape, 6 But each one of the four had faces, and each of
the four had wings.
Ezekiel 1:8
On the
four sides (4 cardinal points), under their
wings, were the hands of a man; all four of them had faces and wings
We see Ezekiel
describe the 4 cardinal points (4 winds of Enoch, 4 corners of Earth). The
4 Living Creatures sit directly over these 4 “corners”. These are the signs
associated with Judah, Ephraim, Dan, and Reuben.
Ezekiel 1:10-11
10 This was the likeness of their faces: they four each had the
face of a man on their front, the other of the four had the face of a lion on
the right side, the other of the four had the face of an ox on the left side,
and the other of the four had the face of an eagle on the back; 11
This was the description of their faces.
The same way Moses
laid out the Tent in the wilderness... by The Heavenly Scroll.
John describes the same scene in Revelation:
Revelation 4:6-8
6 In the center, around the Throne, were four living
creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7
The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third
had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of
the four living creatures had six wings
Now Ezekiel
describes the exact same creatures John saw, and that Moses "raised on a
stick"...
Ezekiel 1:11
Then two of the wings of the four Seraphs spread upward, one
touching the wing tip of another creature on either side; and two (sets of) wings covered their bodies.
The BRONZE colored
Seraph Moses raised on a stick is again the color of the Seraphs
in The Heavenly Scroll.
Numbers 21:9
So Moses made a bronze Seraph and put it up on a pole
(and raised it up to draw the attention of Israel back
to their promise of salvation written in the stars).
The Seraph is what
Moses "raised up on a stick", it was a symbol of The Heavenly Scroll
as the Israelites would "look up" and direct their attention to the
stars... where their salvation was promised!
Numbers 21:7-9
7 So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned,
because we have spoken against Yahuah and you; intercede with Yahuah, that He
may remove the serpents from us." And Moses interceded for the people. 8
Then Yahuah said to Moses, "Make a Seraph, and set it on a standard; and
it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will
live." 9 And Moses made a bronze Seraph and set it on the
standard
Psalm 89:2
I will declare that Your love stands firm forever, that You have established Your
faithful promise (LOGOS) of
salvation in The Heavenly Scroll itself.
Luke 21 27-28
27 At that time they will see (ORION in The Heavenly Scroll) the Son of Man coming in a cloud
with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to happen, stand up and
lift up your heads (and behold what is written in the stars), because your redemption is drawing
near.”
You will find the
Hebrew word translated "serpent" is actually h8314 and it is a
Seraphim NOT a serpent or a snake as we think of today. It is a symbolic
creature found in The Heavenly Scroll.
8314. saraph
From saraph; burning, i.e. (figuratively) poisonous
(serpent); specifically, a saraph or symbolical creature (from their
copper/bronze/Beryl color) -- fiery serpent, seraph.
Moses was pointing
to The Heavenly Scroll like Yahusha did where our salvation is promised from
the foundation of the world! Just like Moses was reading The Heavenly Scroll
when he arranged the Tribes of Israel around the tabernacle to coincide with
the way the 4 Living Creatures (Seraphim) were arranged on the outside
of The Heavenly Scroll.
For more
information on The Heavenly Scroll please read my book Creation Cries
Out! The Mazzaroth
Yahusha came to fulfill
The Heavenly scroll at “just the right time” when the Age of ARIES
ends or the “lamb dies” metaphorically as rehearsed each year on Yom
Kippur. Now that we have firmly established that the Holy of Holies was a
shadow cast by The Heavenly Scroll. We come to the revelation that the Altar in
Heaven (center of The Heavenly Scroll) is the Altar that we meet our
Groom at to be married on Yom Kippur! It is The Altar of our hearts.
Hebrews 8:5
The High Priest on Earth serve a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.
This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle,
"See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on
the mountain."
We know now the High
Priest entering the most holy place each year on Yom Kippur to make a sacrifice
on the Altar was completing The Plan of Salvation found in The Yahushaic
Covenant. Let us dive deeper into this most holy day. What exactly is
represented by the High Priest entering the most holy place to stand before the
Altar on Yom Kippur?
Yom Kippur represents the moment
in time we become one with our Groom through marriage covenant. The
Yahushaic Covenant is a marriage covenant where the Son of Man meets the Bride
at the Altar as laid out in The Heavenly Scroll. The Throne in The Heavenly
Scroll is rehearsed once a year on Yom Kippur when the High Priest would enter
the Most Holy Place and stand at the Altar to make atonement for his Bride. And
then, at one moment (AT-ONE-MENT) the "two shall become one"
in covenant of marriage was pictured on Earth as it is in The Heavenly Scroll
which is what Yahusha came to fulfill:
Ephesians 1:10
as a plan (LOGOS/DABAR) for the fullness of time (end of the Age of ARIES), to bring all things proclaimed in
The Heavenly Scroll and fulfilled on Earth in Yahusha.
Hebrews 10:7
Then I said,
'Here I am--it is written about me in The Heavenly Scroll-- I have come to do
Your Will, my Elohim! (Matthew
6:10)
Matthew
6:10
Your Kingdom (declared in heaven Matthew 4:17) come, Your Will be done, on Earth
as it is written in The Heavenly Scroll.
The Wedding Day
celebration in The Heavenly Scroll that was then laid out as a Moedim for
us to celebrate annually is called today The Day of Atonement. It is the
day we are adopted as “children-in-law” by Yahuah being married to Yahusha His Son.
This is the reason the Messiah came the first time.
John 17:19-21
19 "And for their sakes I sanctify myself (as a Son in covenant with Yahuah),
that they also might be sanctified through the truth (that by
entering into a Marriage Covenant with me, they will become Children of Yahuah
by Law John 1:12). 20 Neither pray I for these
alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word (confess
that Yahusha is our Messiah, our Mediating High Priest, our elder Brother in
resurrection order, our Bridegroom through Marriage);
That they all may be one (as Children of Yahuah); as
you, Father, are in (an Adoption Covenant with) me (through
resurrection), and I in (covenant with) you
(as my Father), 21 that they also may be one (family) in (covenant
with) us: that the world may believe that you have sent me (in
fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll as their Groom)."
John 1:12
Yet to all who did receive Yahusha (as the Groom), to
those who believed in (the Marriage Covenant that bears) his
name (The Yahushaic Covenant), Yahusha (through
Marriage) gave them (who are properly in covenant) the
right to become Children of Yahuah (as his Bride in marriage
therefore adopted by Law).
John 3:29
He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom; but the friend of the Bridegroom, who
stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the Bridegroom’s voice (proclaimed
in The Heavenly Scroll Psalm 19). Therefore, this joy
of mine is fulfilled (Yahusha fulfilled the message contained in The
Heavenly Scroll).
Revelation 19:9
And the Angel said to me, “Write this:
Blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.” And he
said to me, “These (words written in The Heavenly Scroll Psalm
119:89) are the true Words of Yahuah.”
I am going to show us all
what this Most Holy Day is all about, how we are to keep it with Righteous
Intent, and show us Scripturally that it is The Wedding Day. Yahusha and his Disciples
did NOT fast from food because it was a wedding and were condemned for it by
the Pharisees (who did not understand the Moedim and were breaking The Law
on that day with their traditional style of fasting).
I will show us what
Yahusha had to say about that day. Why they were feasting, not fasting from
food, as he gave the Jews a lesson in the Intent of The Heavenly Scroll. The
Jews then denied the Truth and instead brought everyone under bondage of
tradition and lost sight of the meaning.
The Spiritual Intent
behind Yahuah giving us Yom Kippur was for us to approach this Moedim annually
and meet our Groom at the Altar at "the Appointed Time" in
celebration and remembrance of The Plan of Salvation written in The Heavenly
Scroll.
If you keep this Feast any
other way with any other Intent than I am laying out in this book, you are not
going to be part of the Bride as you are not rehearsed/prepared for the Wedding
and have denied the meaning of this Most Holy Day. It is up to the Bride to
“make herself ready” properly adorning herself with the meaning of the stars.
Revelation
19:6-9
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of
rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “HalleluYahuah! For
Yahuah Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him
glory! For the Wedding of the Lamb has come, and HIS BRIDE HAS MADE HERSELF
READY! 8 Fine linen, bright and CLEAN, was given her to wear.” 9
Then the Angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to
the Wedding Supper of the Lamb”
You can consider this book
your Invitation to The Wedding! You see, it is Yahuah’s Chosen that go out and send
the Invitation to be part of The Wedding.
Matthew 22:3
He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell
them to come, but they refused to come.
I
(and all of you reading this book) are His servants, let us all send
this invitation to our fellow Nazarenes.
To properly keep The
Wedding Day, we walk the Way of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering to prepare
our bodies, minds, and souls to meet our Groom at the Altar. Just as the
original Bride was led out of bondage through the Narrow Gate of Passover,
Mikveh'd in the Red Sea, then circumcised at the foot of Mt. Sinai.
For more information, read my book The Narrow Gate by Rav
Sha’ul; which is the companion to this book and is about the Spring Feasts.
In
His Law, Yahuah laid out 3 annual pilgrimages to Jerusalem. These are "dates"
with our Groom in celebration of The Heavenly Wedding:
·
The
Spring Feasts
·
Shav'uot
·
The
Fall Feasts
On these occasions, we must walk The Way through The Narrow Gate. The Narrow
Gate is "how" we keep these Feasts as we must fulfill our role as the
Bride in The Heavenly Scroll. We see Yahusha set this example on these Holy
Days as he was Mikveh'd clean and ritually washed to purify his body before
Yahuah. This is what we call "baptism".
Yahusha was
"baptized" by John, or rather Mikveh'd as High Priest by John on The
Day of Atonement. He then fled into the wilderness in fulfillment of the
scapegoat, poured out (bared/afflicted) his soul which is the definition
of "circumcision of heart", and then offered his life to Yahuah as
High Priest. Yahuah desires a broken contrite heart, NOT an empty stomach!
Psalm 51:16-17
16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise
I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. 17 The
sacrifices of Yahuah are (to afflict our souls with) a broken
spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O Yahuah, You will not despise.
This is what Yahusha did
on Yom Kippur, he fled to the wilderness fulfilling the Scapegoat and
"anah" or humbled himself before Yahuah. He demonstrated a
circumcised heart and cried out for deliverance for himself and his brothers.
Yahuah heard his cries as High Priest not because he "fasted from
food" but because of his REVERENT submission and humble (anah)
contrite Spirit as High Priest.
Hebrews
5:6-7
6 And in another passage Yahuah says: “You are a Priest forever in
the manner of a Royal High Priest (of the House of Zadok and House of David ).” 7 During the days of
Yahusha's Earthly life (as High Priest), he offered up prayers and petitions (as High Priest on The Day of Atonement in the
wilderness) with
loud cries and tears (afflicted his soul) to the One Who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his
reverence (broken
spirit and contrite heart).
Hebrews 7:27
Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after
day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed
(The Sacrifice
of Atonement) for
their sins once for all when he (humbly) offered himself (as our High Priest to Yahuah through humble submission
as he cried out with loud tears and cries as High Priest should, see Zachariah Chapter 3,
Hebrews 5:7)
That
is an example set by our King of what Anah means, THAT is what Yahusha did for
40 days and nights.... as he washed his body, sanctified his mind, and purified
is SOUL by humbling himself before The Creator. The Way of Mikveh,
Circumcision, and Offering was followed by Yahusha on this Most Holy Day.
This day on Yom Kippur is
the Wedding Day. After we are ritually cleansed with living water (Mikveh)
we than put on our best. We are not to show up to the Altar on our Wedding
day... dirty, smelly, in a potato sack(loth) as Jewish Tradition would
have us do. They dishonor the Groom whom they denied and KILLED. Even today by
denying their Messiah they crucify him over again in their own hearts. The
Jewish Tradition go further and literally break The Law on Yom Kippur as I will
explain.
On the Wedding Day
(Yom Kippur) The
Bride is Adorned in the Garments of a Queen
Yahuah told us exactly
what the Bride looks like, she is CLEANLY bathed through Mikveh and dressed in
a beautiful array of Spiritual fine linens, jewelry, and fit to be anointed QUEEN through marriage on Yom Kippur. We read
below that the Bride ate she did not "fast from food"...
Ezekiel
16:9-14
9 “‘I bathed you with water (Mikveh) and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. 10
I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put sandals of fine leather on you.
I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments. 11
I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around
your neck, 12 and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears
and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 So you were adorned with gold
and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered
cloth. Your food was honey, olive oil and the finest flour. You became
very beautiful and rose to be a QUEEN (we wed the Prince who then inherits the Throne as King). 14 And your fame spread
among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had made
your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign Yahuah.
Far cry from the Jewish
TRADITION and ADDITIONS to the Commandments of Yom Kippur! Their tradition is
the exact opposite of what Yahuah described the Bride to be in Ezekiel
16:9-14:
https://toriavey.com/what-is-yom-kippur/
·
don't bathe (violation of
Ezekiel 16:9)
·
no fine linens and no perfumes (violation
of Ezekiel 16:10)
·
put on a potato sack (sackcloth.
Violation of Isaiah 58:5)
·
No leather shoes (violation of
Ezekiel 16:13)
·
starve yourself and afflict your
body which is forbidden. (Violation of Ezekiel 16:13 and Isaiah 58:7)
·
no marital relations (violation
of the physical to Spiritual Parallel of consummating the marriage on the
wedding day)
If
you show up to the Wedding like that you will insult the Groom and get
that "depart from me I know you NOT" speech for breaking
The Law (you who practice lawlessness). Each and every one of those
human commands violate the Intent of Yom Kippur and will result in you not
being invited to The Wedding!
The Jews rejected the Groom and then set out to ensure YOU are rejected
by him as YOU follow those who rejected the Prince of Peace, the Son of Man,
the GROOM.
We see in The Law that Yom
Kippur is a "Sabbath' a "strict day of rest". Leviticus
16:29 mandates establishment of this Holy Day on the 10th day of the
7th month as the Day of Atonement for sins. It is called the Sabbath of
Sabbaths and a day upon which one must afflict one's soul (not our
body). Leviticus 23:27 decrees that Yom Kippur is a strict
day of rest. This in context of The Sabbath means no servitude labor or to
cease from what we do each day to make a living. It does not mean “do not lift
a finger” lest you break the Law!
We
are taught IN ERROR by Jewish Tradition that this means no work at all
by the scientific definition of exerting effort of any kind. That is not
true and totally ridiculous. We are to rest from the "curse of
Adam" as that is what a Sabbath means. It is a celebration of The Plan for
Mankind written in The Heavenly Scroll whereby there are 6,000 years we labor
under the curse of Adam and then we enter into "rest". We do not sit around and starve ourselves sleeping all day trying not
to "work" by the scientific definition. That is missing the point and
meaning of a Sabbath including Yom Kippur completely. Instead of sitting around
starving ourselves doing absolutely NOTHING on Yom Kippur in violation of The
Law to eat the Atoning Sacrifice and dine with our Groom on the Wedding Day... we
should be manifesting The Kingdom of Yahuah on Earth in the lives of our loved
ones and our society. Yahuah lays out in detail what we are supposed to be
doing on this day when His Kingdom is made manifested on Earth through the
lives of His Family.
Yahuah literally hates this idea of "not eating and doing nothing" on
this day, as that is not what He commanded and nowhere in Scripture does He
condone that behavior or command us to worship Him in that way. Fasting from food is a
PAGAN ritual and we are stickily forbidden from worshiping Yahuah in the way
the pagans worship their gods.
58:4-7
4 On a day like
today, fasting like yours will not make your voice heard on high.
5 “Is this the sort
of fast I want, a day when a person mortifies himself? Is the object to
hang your head like a reed and spread sackcloth and ashes under yourself? Is
this what you call a fast, a day that pleases Yahuah?
6 “Here is the sort of fast I
want — releasing those unjustly bound, untying the thongs of the yoke,
letting the oppressed go free, breaking every yoke, 7 sharing
your food with the hungry, taking the homeless poor into your house, clothing
the naked when you see them, fulfilling your duty to your kinsmen!”
We see Yahuah’s definition
of a “fast” is to anah which means humble ourselves in service to
others. NOT sit around and not moving, looking pathetic, unclean, and in a sackcloth.
That is what the enemy wants and is winning! Instead of manifesting the Kingdom
on Earth as Yahuah intended, the enemy has deceived us all through the pagan
religion of Judaism to sit around, starve our bodies, not lift a finger, and
look pathetic. In many cases casting judgment on all those who do not do as we
do while we violate the Law ourselves. We present ourselves a poor slave woman
to our Groom, not a Royal Queen!
To Eat? Or Not to
Eat!
The true way to rehearse The Day
of Atonement
Mark 7:13
Thus you nullify the word of Yahuah by your tradition that you have handed
down. And you do many things like that."
Yom Kippur is The Wedding
Day rehearsal. This is why when Yahusha was asked why he and his Disciples were
not "fasting from food" on Yom Kippur as was the Jews tradition,
Yahusha lectured the Pharisees on the very meaning of this Moedim (rehearsal).
Mark 2:18-20
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were observing a fast (on Yom Kippur); and [some people] came and asked Yahusha, Why are John’s
disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fasting (only 1 day a year would
everyone be fasting from food), but your Disciples are not fasting from food? 19
Yahusha answered them, Can the Wedding guests fast from food while the Bridegroom
is with them? As long as they have the Bridegroom with them, they cannot fast
from food (because
it is the Wedding Day). 20 But the days will come (days between the Feasts representing the Age of PISCES) when the Bridegroom will be taken
away from them, and they will fast from food in that day (that is not a Feast Day).
The Nazarenes were the
only sect in first century Israel to put their faith in The Branch foretold in
The Heavenly Scroll and properly understand the Intent of these Holy Days.
Fasting from food on Yom
Kippur is a “tradition of men” that violates the Torah Instruction and the
Physical to Spiritual “Intent”! The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur is the day
of the actual Wedding. It is this day that the “two shall become one” through
covenant of Marriage. If you look at the word Atonement, it can be viewed as
“At” “one” “ment”.
It is the day the Bride
becomes “at one” with the Groom. We see Yahusha pray for this day:
John 17:19-21
19 "And for their sakes I sanctify myself (as the Groom), that they also
might be sanctified through the truth (that they are my Bride). 20 I don’t just pray
for these alone, but for all those who shall believe on me through their word (enter into the marriage
covenant called The Yahushaic Covenant); 21 That they all may be
one (family); as You, Father,
are in (an
Adoption Covenant with) me (to become my Father), and I in (covenant with) You (to be Your Son), that they also
may be one in (covenant with) Us (as Adopted Children through marriage).
Yahusha is referring to
the covenant of marriage where the “two shall become one”. We know what
Yahusha’s role is on The Day of Atonement or The Wedding Day. He, as High
Priest, must make atonement for himself, his Bride, and creation to liberate
and bring all that Yahuah created back into “atonement” or at one ment with the
Creator:
Hebrews 5:1-3 - The Perfected High Priest
1 For every High Priest taken from among men is
appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to Yahuah, in order to offer
both gifts and sacrifices for sins; 2 he can deal gently with the
ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness; 3
and because of it (weaknesses) he is obligated to offer sacrifices
for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.
Sha’ul was explaining the
role of the High Priest on Yom Kippur where the High Priest had to first make
an offering for himself and his family, before making the offering for the Nation
of Israel. We also see Sha’ul declare the entire Plan of Salvation and proclaim
that the Sons of Yahuah would “liberate creation itself” on the Day of
Atonement:
Romans 8:19-25
19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for
the Children of Yahuah to be revealed (resurrection on Yom Teruah). 20 For
the creation was subjected to futility (when Adam fell), not willingly, but because of
Yahuah Who subjected it (the fall of creation was part of Yahuah’s Plan as
written in the stars) in hope (of liberating it through His future Sons on The Day of
Atonement); 21 because the creation itself also will be
delivered (future fulfillment of The Fall Feasts when Yahusha atones for and
delivers creation on The Day of Atonement) from the bondage of corruption into
the glorious liberty of the Children of Yahuah. (the “purpose” in creation is
that creation is turned over to be governed by the Children of YAHUAH as an
inheritance) 22 For we know that the whole creation groans
and labors (per The Sabbath Covenant written in the stars that through 3 ages, 6000
years, creation suffers from the effects of sin) with birth pangs
together until now (the 7th Millennium, the Sabbath). 23 Not
only that, but we also who have the Firstfruits (Sha’ul is confirming the
Feasts of Yahuah here… The Passover Lamb/Feast of First Fruits/Spring Feasts) of the Spirit (Given on Shav’uot), even we ourselves
groan within ourselves (along with creation because we have not yet been
resurrected either), eagerly waiting for the adoption through resurrection (into the Family of Yahuah), the redemption of
our body (the
resurrection on The Feast of Trumpets as Paul teaches The Fall Feasts). 24 For
we were saved (Sha’ul stresses the past tense here because we were saved during the
Spring Feasts by the Passover Lamb) in this hope (that Yahusha will return
again and fulfill the Fall Feasts, resurrecting our bodies so that WE can then
liberate creation), but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still
hope for what he sees (Sha’ul is stressing that we must still have hope for
we have not yet witness the fulfillment of the Fall Feasts, so hope endures)? 25 But
if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it (the Fall Feasts) with perseverance
(Sha’ul
is encouraging us to endure in hope of the future fulfillment of the Fall
Feasts because those who persevere until the end shall be saved).
The question now arises:
” What,
then, do we do on Yom Kippur?”
I get asked this all the
time and most people follow Rabbinical Judaism and “fast from food” for 25-hours.
Remember, the Jews do not (even today) understand the meaning of the Feasts
or they would accept Yahusha who fulfilled them. So why are we “doing it like
the Jews do”? By following false teachers in the Hebrew Roots movement!
Are we required by the Law
of Yahuah to “fast from food” on Yom Kippur? No. In
fact, there is no instruction in the entire Torah requiring us
to abstain from food for any reason. There is only example after example
of Yahuah, Yahusha, and Sha’ul condemning the “way” they were fasting. So,
let’s take a deeper look at what is required of us on this Wedding Day of Atonement
when we become one with Yahuah.
First, let’s not forget
what we learned earlier in Mark Chapter 2 on the Day of
Atonement, when John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, Yahusha and
his Disciples were not. Yahusha was questioned on why they were not fasting on
Yom Kippur.
Mark 2:18-20
18 Now John’s disciples and the
Pharisees were observing a fast; and [some people]
came and asked Yahusha, Why are John’s disciples and the disciples of the
Pharisees fasting, but your Disciples are not doing so? 19 Yahusha
answered them, Can the wedding guests fast (abstain
from food and drink) while the Bridegroom is with them? As long as they
have the Bridegroom with them, they cannot fast (from
food and drink, it is a WEDDING!). 20 But the days will
come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them, and they will fast in
that day (that is not one of Yahuah’s Feasts).
Notice that they (the
Pharisees) did not understand the portrait of The Wedding. Yahusha’s reply
properly put Yom Kippur in context of The Wedding and explained that The Wedding
is a Feast not a fast. Yahusha explained that we can fast on any other day (in
that day he is not with us) except the Feasts of Yahuah. We don’t fast on
the Feast Days because they (especially Yom Kippur) are a
rehearsal for the day when the Bridegroom and Bride are together again
and that we don’t fast on the day because it is a rehearsal of The Wedding.
This is confirmed as well
in the instruction Yahuah gave in keeping Yom Kippur. Yahuah instructed that we
“make an offering of fire” and it is a Sabbath.
On all Sabbaths we “cook
meat on the grill” i.e. make an offering of fire, and we feast not fast.
In Leviticus 23,
Yahuah gives the instruction on Yom Kippur that we should rest as it is a
Sabbath, we should afflict our souls (it says SOULS not bodies), and we
should bring a food offering of fire. Yahuah doesn’t specify what we do
with that “offering of fire” because it is implied that we do what we always do
with those offerings… eat them. This is why we see that Yahusha did not
require his Disciples to fast on Yom Kippur explaining the concept of a
wedding and that it is a rehearsal for when the Bride and the Bridegroom are together,
and they feast.
So, why are we “fasting
from food” on the rehearsal day of our Wedding (Yom Kippur)? Because
we are following the example set by the Pharisees as we see, in Mark
Chapter 2, THEY fasted and Yahusha did not.
The instruction to fast
on Yom Kippur is a human tradition passed down by the Pharisees to Rabbinical
Judaism today. It is found in the Talmud NOT in the Torah.
They don’t accept Yahusha
as the Messiah, nor do they understand the marriage portrait of the Feast
Cycle. The last thing Judaism is going to do is instruct something in agreement
with Yahusha, who said not to fast and put Yom Kippur properly in the context
of a marriage. As Sha’ul explained, the Jews had missed the point of the Feast
Cycle completely and rejected the one who fulfilled it:
1
Corinthians 2:7-9
…7 No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of Yahuah, which He
destined for our glory (in the stars Psalms 19)
before time began. 8 None of the Pharisees of this age understood
it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the King of glory (on
Passover). 9 Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear
has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
…
Judaism will tell you that
“afflicting your soul” is equivalent to “fasting from food” or rather the way
you “afflict your soul” is by not eating. This is simply not true! The word
used for “afflict your soul” in Leviticus by Yahuah is not the
same Hebrew word used for “fasting from food”.
If Yahuah wanted us to
fast he would have used the Hebrew word that means “fasting from food”! Yahuah
did not use that word nor instruct us to fast from food because fasting would
break the physical to Spiritual parallel of The Wedding that Yom Kippur
represents!
The Hebrew word for “fast”
is Tsum h6684 in Strong’s and it means “refrain from eating
for a period of time”. But this is not the word Yahuah used when
instructing how to “rehearse” on Yom Kippur. He used the Hebrew word anah
h6907 in Strong’s which means “humbling one’s soul” as in repentance.
This word appears 79 times in the Tanakh or OT. It is used to mean “afflicted
as a servant or slave” in Genesis 15:13 meaning humble, it
is used in the same way in Genesis 16:6 when Sarah is told by
Abraham to anah or afflict / humble her servant Hagar. In Exodus
10:3 anah is used and interpreted as “humble yourself”.
However, there is one more
very important usage of the word anah and that is within the context of
a marriage and oaths. We see the word anah used in Numbers 30:13
in context of marriage vows, and again used in the sense of “humbling yourself”
… in this case as a woman to her husband in a marriage:
Numbers 30:13
"Every vow and every binding oath to humble (anah) herself, her husband may confirm it or her
husband may annul it.
Again in Deut. 8:16
the word anah is used meaning to humble yourself. In some cases,
it is translated “afflicted” but always in the sense of “humbling”.
Of all the occurrences
in the Tanakh of the word anah I cannot find one refers to “fasting or
refraining from eating”. Not one.
Yahuah’s instruction to us
on Yom Kippur is that we humble ourselves and make ourselves low before
Him in obedience as a Bride being wed to the Bridegroom. Yom Kippur is a call
to examine ourselves, inwardly reflect on our sin i.e. afflict our souls
exactly as He instructed in Leviticus. We are to anah ourselves or
humble ourselves NOT to Tsum which means fast from food. Our pagan Scribes
mistranslated the word anah as “fast” and we then are misled by the Jews
to violate the Law and deny our Groom in marriage.
In fact, the instruction
is to “anah ourselves and present a food offering”. This “food offering”
is also translated as “offering made by fire”. We see in Leviticus
Chapter 10 that the “offering made by fire” as atonement was to be
EATEN on Yom Kippur:
Leviticus 10:16-18
16 When Moses inquired
about the goat of the sin offering and found that it had been burned up
instead of eaten, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining
sons, and asked, 17 “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the
sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt
of the community by making atonement for them before Yahuah. 18
Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place, you should have eaten the
goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”
Here we see the priests
refraining from eating the “offering made by fire” or “fasting” from it on the
Day of Atonement and Moses was angry with them because Yahuah had commanded
them to eat it! Exactly what we do today in disobedience as we follow the
tradition of men not the instructions of Yahuah!
Although we see many
examples in the books of the Tanakh where people fasted from food, such as King
David, Esther, and many others. There is no command by Yahuah to do this!
Many times in Scripture we see those same individuals break The Law and
incorporate pagan rituals from the nations. In fact, we see Yahuah was not
happy with this “way of fasting” in Isaiah 58. This type of
fasting done in Scripture of “not eating” did not make Yahuah happy and
actually blocks our voices from being heard by our Creator!
Isaiah 58:4-7
4 On a day like today, fasting like
yours will not make your voice heard on high. 5 “Is this
the sort of fast I want, a day when a person mortifies (render physical body weak, deprive of energizing power)
himself? Is the object to hang your head like a reed and spread sackcloth and
ashes under yourself? Is this what you call a fast, a day that pleases Yahuah? 6 “Here is the sort of fast I want —
releasing those unjustly bound, untying the thongs of the yoke, letting the
oppressed go free, breaking every yoke, 7 sharing your food
with the hungry, taking the homeless poor into your house, clothing the naked
when you see them, fulfilling your duty to your kinsmen!”
In Isaiah 58:5
we see in multiple translations that “fasting from food” is not what Yahuah
finds pleasure in:
Berean Study Bible
Is this the fast I have chosen, a day for a man to deny himself (food),
to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you
call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?
Christian Standard Bible
Will the fast I choose be like this: A day for a person to deny himself
(food), to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?
Good News Translation
When you fast, you make yourselves suffer (not eating); you bow your
heads low like a blade of grass and spread out sackcloth and ashes to lie on.
Is that what you call fasting? Do you think I will be pleased with that?
Contemporary English Version
Do you think the LORD wants you to give up eating and to act as humble as
a bent-over bush? Or to dress in sackcloth and sit in ashes? Is this really
what he wants on a day of worship?
In other words… ANAH
(HUMBLE) yourself and serve those less fortunate! That is the true
meaning of the word mistranslated as “fasting” to Yahuah and agrees with the
word anah which means to humble yourself as a servant or as a bride
should do in honor of her husband.
We see another example of
Yahuah condemning the “way Israel fasted from food” indicating it was not His
ordinance and not done to honor Him… but a pagan practice picked up while in
Babylonian captivity! Again, Yahuah stresses abstaining from food is NOT His
way or definition of Anah, but rather humbling ourselves in doing justice, not
oppressing the poor but liberating them, and feeding the hungry etc. A
far cry from sitting inside your home starving yourself doing absolutely
nothing as we are told by the Pharisees (Rabbinical Judaism):
Zachariah 7:4-6, 8-10
4 Then the Word of Yahuah of hosts came
to me saying, 5 “Say to all the people
of the land and to the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and
seventh months these seventy years, was it actually for Me that you fasted? 6
‘And when you eat and drink, do you not eat for yourselves and do you not drink
for yourselves (eating
and drinking or NOT eating and drinking has nothing to do with Spiritual
service to Yahuah)?
8 Then the Word of Yahuah came to Zachariah
saying (what
pleases Yahuah),
9 “Thus has Yahuah of hosts said, ‘Dispense true
justice, and practice kindness and compassion each to his brother; 10
and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do
not devise evil in your hearts against one another.’
The only instance of
Yahusha “fasting from food” is when he spent 40 days/nights in the wilderness.
The Gospel of Luke does not use the word fast but rather,
says he simply went without food or water… because he was in the wilderness.
Luke 4:1-2
1 Yahusha, full of the Holy Spirit (after being Mikveh’d by water
and fire), left
the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (it was not a planned ‘fast’), 2 where for forty days
he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days (because there was nothing to
eat in the desert),
and at the end of them he was hungry.
The Gospel of Matthew
does use the word fast. The question is:
“was this an intentional
fast by Yahusha?” Or, “did Yahusha flee into the wilderness after being
Mikveh’d by John on a last-minute decision to seek out Yahuah’s
confirmation and humble himself (anah)?”
We see clearly that
Yahusha did not plan on what we would call ‘a religious fast’ and that he was
led daily by the Ruach. Yahusha was “led into the desert” by the Ruach
AFTER his Mikveh by John, it was not planned by Yahusha:
Matthew 4:1-2
1 Then the Ruach
led Yahusha up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Adversary. 2 After
Yahusha had fasted forty days and nights, he was hungry.
In this case using the
word “fasting” misleads many to think “religious fast”. It should have simply
said “after Yahusha had gone without food for forty days and nights, he was
hungry.” Yahusha did not have food/water on his body at this time because he
had not planned on going into the ‘wilderness’ at all. It was not a planned
event but rather it was a spur of the moment decision led by the Spirit of
Yahuah not the mind of Yahusha. Yahusha had no idea it would take 40
days/nights to get his answer from Yahuah! It was not a 40 day fast. I don’t
see this as a planned “fast” at all and agree with Luke’s gospel that he went
without food/water for 40 days/nights, because he would not leave the desert without
Yahuah’s approval.
So, by virtue of there
being no food/water in the desert and he didn’t bring any with him, Matthew refers
to it as a “fast” only in that sense as in “he had nothing to eat”. This is not
incorrect, as the word fast is appropriate because the definition of fast
is ‘to go without food/water for a set period of time’. So, a “fast” can be
planned or a fast can be outside of our control. In this case, it was a fast
outside of Yahusha’s control as there was no food/water in the desert, he did
not “flee” into the desert as a premeditated act to go “fast from food to get
the answer”, and he did not know it would take 40 days/nights for Yahuah to
come to him with confirmation. This was a “fast” by circumstance only. It is
not as we are taught that Yahusha went and fasted and prayed for 40 days and
nights, no he was led into the wilderness where Yahuah brought Yahusha to the
point of death to test him. Yahuah wanted to know that Yahusha would rather die
in that desert of starvation than live and NOT be the Messiah as he was
promised. Or worse yet, become a false messiah.
We all must come to the
understand and admit the obvious truth about the state of our modern English
bibles:
Jeremiah 8:8
“How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the Law of Yahuah is with us’? But
behold, the lying pen of the Scribes has made it into a lie.
The Bibles we all read,
our English translation, have been altered by pagan Scribes. This is a proven
fact among textual critics and scholars alike. It is even admitted by the Catholic
Church.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 6, page 136, gives us this
admission.
"Substitution of false documents and tampering with genuine ones was
quite a trade in the Middle Ages. Innocent III (1198) points out nine species
of forgery [of ecclesiastical records] which had come under his notice. But
such frauds of the Church were not confined to the Middle Ages; they begin even
with the beginning of the Church and infest every period of its history for
fifteen hundred years and defile nearly every document, both of
"Scriptures" and of Church aggrandizement. As truly said by Collins, in
his celebrated Discourse of Free Thinking: "In Short, these frauds are
very common in all books which are published by priests or priestly men... For
it is certain they may plead the authority of the Fathers for Forgery,
Corruption and mangling of Authors, with more reason than for any of their
Articles of Faith.."(p.96.)
Jeremiah warned us of this
very thing in Jeremiah 8:8. This attempt to alter the Word of
Yahuah again comes to the forefront in the doctrine of “fasting from food”. We
only see one instance where Yahusha went without food for 40 days/nights and it
is described as a “fast”. However, as I explained before there is no indication
it was a religious fast but rather Yahusha was led by the Ruach in to the
desert where there was no food and water and it took 40 days/nights being there
without food and water to get the answer. Certainly, Yahusha would not dishonor
Yahuah and fast in such a way that was condemned by his Father on multiple
occasions in Isaiah and Zachariah. This so-called
“fast” was simply described as such due to the circumstances of having to be without
food/water in the desert.
Altered Texts
There are 3 places in Scripture
that, if you read your English translation, tell us that Yahusha instructed us
to fast and pray. However, upon further inspection and study, we find that all
3 places have been altered by pagan Scribes. In every case, the word “fast” or
“fasting” was added. In one case the entire verse indicating we “fast” was
added to the original Greek manuscripts later by pagan Scribes who afflicted
their bodies to get closer to their divine (a pagan practice condemned
in Scripture called “harsh treatment of the body”).
·
Mark 9:29 – fasting was added and not found in many modern
translations
·
1 Corinthians 7:5 – fasting was added and not found in many
modern translations
·
Matthew 17:21 – entire verse was
added all together and does not even occur in most modern translations.
In my study of Scripture,
anytime there is a word added by pagan scribes in order to “build a doctrine”
into the text; that “doctrine” turns out to be a false doctrine. This is the
case with The Trinity, Incarnation, abolishment of the Law, etc. etc. All
doctrines built upon altered Scripture where scribes changed the text to create
these doctrines.
Fasting from food is a
well-documented aspect of pagan worship as all pagans ritually employ “harsh
treatment of the body” to please their deities. We see this in Scripture as
Yahuah told us not to “cut our flesh in honor of the dead” or “toss our babies
into the fire” or “walk on hot coals (pass through the fire)”. We see a
reference to this practice of walking on hot coals in Proverbs 6:28.
Rav Sha’ul the Apostle condemned these practices as well:
Colossians 2:23
Such regulations (such as fasting from food)
indeed have an appearance of wisdom (coming from
Rabbis), with their self-imposed worship (Yahuah did not say to do it), their false humility and their
harsh treatment (starving) of the body, but
they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
Fasting from food is
another example of how pagans harshly treat their bodies to please, be approved
of, or connect with their deities. Below is from an article on the pagan origin
of fasting, sounds exactly what is done "by tradition" in
Judaism/Christianity... from a pagan/wiccan article on ritual fasting:
"In some Pagan
traditions, fasting is seen as a way to get closer to the divine, to cleanse
the body, or to prepare for a more elaborate ritual later on. In many cases,
the point of fasting is to deny the body physical pleasures and needs in order
to attain a deeper connection to the gods." Harsh treatment of the body
Pagan style fasting from
food was practiced during what is called “weeping for Thammuz”, a practice that
found its way into the worship of Yahuah in ancient Israel, see Ezekiel
8:14-15. However, there are instances in Scripture where servants of
Yahuah also fasted from food and prayed during times of great distress. David
fasted from food Samuel 12:15-17 and Psalm 35:13-14
and others. We see Anna fasted and prayed in the Temple and so forth. The
question is, were these fasts of human tradition approved of by Yahuah and
on what authority did they do such things?
It is not in the Law
anywhere! What is clear is that there is no instruction in The Torah given for
us to fast from food and certainly not on Yom Kippur. It is also clear that
Yahusha did not instruct such a fast but instead he and his Disciples did not
fast on Yom Kippur. In fact, there is little evidence that Yahusha ever
employed such a fast on purpose.
So, what is the conclusion
to this matter?
1. We see Yahusha condemn the Pharisees for the “way”
they fasted in not eating and making a public display.
2. We see that in all the places that seems as though
Yahusha was instructing us to “fast” the word fasting was added later by
pagan Scribes.
3. We see Yahuah in two occasions in Isaiah
and Zachariah condemn the practice of fasting from food and give
clear instruction in what fasting is in His eyes truly means… which is humbling
ourselves as servants to others, even eating and sharing our food!
The Apostle Sha’ul
discussed this exact issue directly in Romans 14 and I agree with
him completely in his conclusion. Below Sha’ul is discussing the ongoing
debates about which Feast day is holier Passover or Atonement. Then addresses
the debate about "fasting vs. not fasting" on Atonement... Sha’ul’s
conclusion is that whatever you do (there is no Commandment concerning these
issues) you be fully convinced in your own mind; it is between you and our
Father...
Romans 14:5-6 & 17,22-23
5 One person considers one (Feast) day more sacred than another (Passover vs. Atonement); another considers every (Feast) day alike (they are all equally important). Each of them should be fully
convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special
does so to Yahuah. Whoever eats meat (on Atonement as they make an offering of fire) does so to Yahuah, for they give
thanks to Elohim; and whoever abstains (and fasts on Atonement) does so to Yahuah and gives thanks
to Elohim… 17 For the Kingdom of Yahuah is not a matter of eating
and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit… 22
So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and Yahuah (do not make a public display
and never condemn anyone else for not doing what you think should be done). Blessed is the one who does not
condemn himself (by
condemning others)
by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they
eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come
from faith is sin.
Fasting from food is a
human tradition of the Pharisees with roots in pagan worship picked up in
Babylon that was written into the Bible by pagan scribes. It was never
instructed by Yahuah for any reason, the practice was condemned by Yahuah, and
Yahusha never actually gave any instruction to fast. Anytime we see twisting of
the Scriptures like this is should throw up a very big red flag!
How are we to keep Yom
Kippur. Remember it is a rehearsal of “The Wedding Day” and Yahusha did not
require his Disciples to fast from food because when the Bride and Groom are
together, they FEAST! So, we are to rehearse that occasion exactly as we
will perform it on that day… we dine with our Groom/King on the sacrifice
of Atonement. Eating the sacrifice into our body is a metaphor for accepting it
in our lives. That is why we are to “make an offering of fire” or “food
offering” on that day, as Yahuah instructed us, and eat it as Moses and Yahusha
instructed.
We are to anah or humble
ourselves as the Bride in submission and obedience to the Groom. It is THE
DAY that creation is liberated from the bondage of sin and death as Rav Sha’ul
proclaimed. It is the day we receive our crowns and our inheritance from the
Father as a “wedding gift”. We should rehearse that day exactly as Yahuah
instructed His way of fasting… “set the captives free, feed the poor,
shelter the homeless, and let our light shine in service to those in need!”
Humbling ourselves and becoming the servants of the less fortunate.
The least will be the
greatest in His Kingdom.
Mark
10:31
But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who
seem least important now will be the greatest then.”
Imagine what this world
would look like if one day a year everyone would stop following tradition and
religion, cease this 24-hours of refraining from food and doing nothing, and
instead stepped out in humility and made a difference in the lives of those
less fortunate. Not only should we eat we are to SHARE OUR FOOD with the hungry
Isaiah 58:7!
Yom Kippur should be the
one day a year the Kingdom of Yahuah is exercised in the lives of all His Sons.
Our light should so shine so brightly on this day, a dying world could see what
the Kingdom looks like by humbling ourselves in service to those less fortunate
than we are.
But what do we do? We
follow the traditions of the Jews who rejected our King and we break the Law by
fasting from food and sitting around doing nothing looking pathetic in self-pity.
Instead of presenting ourselves as a Bride adorned as a Queen we present
ourselves as dirty, shoeless, starving, and wearing a potato sack. We can thank
the Hebrew Roots teachers who find their authority in how well they follow the
Jews in their traditions and practices. Their destiny is the same.
What Yahuah demands is a far
cry from the Jewish TRADITION and ADDITIONS to the Commandments of Yom Kippur.
The Jews and Hebrew Roots teach you to do the exact opposite:
-
·
don't bathe (violation of Ezekiel
16:9)
-
·
no fine linens and no perfumes (violation
of Ezekiel 16:10)
-
·
put on a potato sack (sackcloth.
Violation of Isaiah 58:5)
-
·
No leather shoes (violation of
Ezekiel 16:13)
-
·
starve yourself and afflict your
body which is forbidden. (Violation of Ezekiel 16:13 and Isaiah 58:7
and The Levitical Law)
-
·
no marital relations (violation
of the physical to Spiritual Parallel of consummating the marriage)
I
mean, would you accept a potential spouse who is dirty, smells foul, dressed in
a potato sack, all hunched over starving to death? One who cared so little
for you they didn’t even lift a finger to prepare for the date?
Isaiah 58:4-7
4 On a day like
today, fasting like yours will not make your voice heard on high.
5 “Is this the sort of fast I want,
a day when a person mortifies himself? Is the object to hang your head like
a reed and spread sackcloth and ashes under yourself? Is this what you call a
fast, a day that pleases Yahuah? 6 “Here
is the sort of fast I want — releasing those unjustly bound, untying
the thongs of the yoke,
letting the oppressed go free, breaking every yoke, 7 sharing
your food with the hungry, taking the homeless poor into your house, clothing
the naked when you see them, fulfilling your duty to your kinsmen!”
Present
yourself to your Groom as a worthy Bride by walking The Way of Mikveh,
Circumcision, and Offering your life to His Will.
Ezekiel
16:9-14
9 “I bathed you with water (Mikveh/Baptism by water) and washed the blood from you and
put ointments on you. 10 (Mikveh/Baptism by Fire/the Ruach) I clothed you with an embroidered
dress and put sandals of fine leather on you. I dressed you in fine linen and
covered you with costly garments. 11 I adorned you with jewelry: I
put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, 12 and I
put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your
head. 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were
of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. (Dine with your Groom) Your food was honey, olive oil and
the finest flour. You became very beautiful and rose to be a QUEEN (we wed the Prince who then
inherits the Throne as King). 14 And your fame spread among the nations on
account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your
beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign Yahuah.
Our Groom has paid the
dowry and torn the veil so that we all can approach the Altar and enter into
the marriage covenant called The Yahushaic Covenant.
On this day, the veil is removed,
and the Bride is exposed on Earth.
John 17:1-6 (Sabbath Covenant Translation in context –
SCT)
1 When Yahusha had
spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes and expressed his faith in The
Heavenly Scroll, and said, “Father, the time has come to give my life at the
end of the Age of ARIES. (when the Lamb dies, the Passover Lamb was an annual
reminder of when our sins would be forgiven at the end of 4,000 years as the
Age of ARIES transitions to the Age of PISCES Hebrews 10:1-4); Glorify Your Son (The Heavenly Scroll declares
the Glory of Yahusha Psalm 19, Enoch 35:3) as You promised
through Resurrection (CAPRICORNUS) that the Son may
Glorify You by demonstrating by example that The Way succeeds in delivering
Eternal Life as promised in The Heavenly Scroll (LIBRA, CAPRICORNUS) not in the Law (Romans 8:1-4. Yahusha is the true Way that
leads to Eternal life, the Author of Eternal Salvation, the Forefather of
Everlasting Life). 2 since You have given The Son of
Man (ORION) authority over all
flesh (LEO), to give Eternal Life (AQUARIUS) to all whom You have
given him in marriage (PISCES). 3 And
this is the foundation of Eternal Life (the Greatest Commandment), that they know you, the
ONE and ONLY TRUE God (Yahuah is Echad, the ONE and ONLY), and (enter into covenant with) Yahusha (Yachad – we are ‘One with The
Father’ the same way Yahusha is… we are Family) The Messiah whom You
have sent as mediating High Priest (The Suffering Servant VIRGO to pay the dowry LIBRA for his Bride PISCES and redeem her from death AQUARIUS, 1 Timothy 2:5). 4 I
Glorified You on Earth by manifesting what is written in The Spiritual Kingdom
on Earth, having accomplished the work that You gave me to do as it is written
in The Heavenly Scroll (Hebrews 10:7, Matthew
6:10). 5 And now, Father, Glorify me in Your
Own Presence through Resurrection (CAPRICORNUS); and seat me at Your
Right Hand on The Throne of Heaven (Matthew 22:44, Daniel 7) and give me my Kingdom
(LEO, Revelation 5); the Glory that I had
with You as Conquering King (LEO / ORION) as promised (Genesis 1:1, LOGOS/DEBAR H1696
‘Spoken Promise’) before the world existed written (on Day 4) into the stars
(‘stars are for signs’ Genesis 1:14, ‘Yahuah Created the Great
and Splendid SIGNS of the Zodiac’ Enoch 35:3) as a witness to all
mankind (Psalm 19, Enoch 35:3, Psalm 119:89, Psalm 89:2 called The Word of His
Testimony/Heavenly Scroll/Mazzaroth/Divine Counsel/Hosts of Heaven) 6 I have
revealed (and
given)
Your (Family) Name to those (the Bride) You have given me out
of the world (in marriage). They were Yours; You gave them to me (as my Bride ARIES), and they have kept
The Word of Your Testimony (Revelation 12:17).…
The Bride is called out
from among all Nations and exposed on Earth as the veil is removed as foretold
by the pictograph of PISCES:
Dagim (PISCES/Jupiter) - H1709. דָּאג (dag) -- a fish
The Redeemer's people multiplied, supported and led by the Lamb, The Bride
is exposed on Earth, the Bridegroom is exalted.
And the Bride and Groom
liberate Creation to rule over it:
Romans 8:19-25
19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for
the Children of Yahuah to be revealed (resurrection on Yom Teruah). 20 For
the creation was subjected to futility (when Adam fell), not willingly, but because of
Yahuah Who subjected it (the fall of creation was part of Yahuah’s Plan as
written in the stars) in hope (of liberating it through His future Sons on The
Day of Atonement); 21 because the creation itself also will be
delivered (future fulfillment of The Fall Feasts when Yahusha atones for and
delivers creation on The Day of Atonement) from the bondage of corruption into
the glorious liberty of the Children of Yahuah. (the “purpose” in creation is
that creation is turned over to be governed by the Children of YAHUAH as an
inheritance) 22 For we know that the whole creation groans
and labors (per The Sabbath Covenant written in the stars that through 3 ages, 6000
years, creation suffers from the effects of sin) with birth pangs
together until now (the 7th Millennium, the Sabbath). 23 Not
only that, but we also who have the Firstfruits (Sha’ul is confirming the
Feasts of Yahuah here… The Passover Lamb/Feast of First Fruits/Spring Feasts) of the Spirit (Given on The Feast of Weeks
or Shav’uot), even we ourselves groan within ourselves (along with creation because
we have not yet been resurrected either), eagerly waiting for the adoption
through resurrection (into the Family of Yahuah), the redemption of
our body (the
resurrection on The Feast of Trumpets as Paul teaches The Fall Feasts). 24 For
we were saved (Sha’ul stresses the past tense here because we were saved during the
Spring Feasts by the Passover Lamb) in this hope (that Yahusha will return
again and fulfill the Fall Feasts, resurrecting our bodies so that WE can then
liberate creation), but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still
hope for what he sees (Sha’ul is stressing
that we must still have hope
for we have not yet witness the fulfillment of the Fall Feasts, so hope endures)? 25 But
if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it (the Fall Feasts) with perseverance
(Sha’ul
is encouraging us to endure in hope of the future fulfillment of the Fall
Feasts because those who persevere until the end shall be saved).
In keeping the Intent of
the marriage as portrayed once a year when the High Priest passed through the
veil into the Holy of Holies to approach the Altar, pointing to The Yahushaic
Covenant we must present ourselves perfect!
1.
We must walk the
Way of Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering to prepare our bodies, minds, and
souls to meet our Groom at the Altar.
2.
We are to present
our ourselves spirituallly arrayed in the garments of a Queen as we are
marrying the King as told in The Heavenly Scroll.
3.
We are to rest
from the curse of Adam as it is a Sabbath, a celebration of the 7th Millennium
4.
We are to do
things on this day, that the Bride does in the marriage as laid out in Psalms
31, Isaiah, and Zachariah as we “anah” or humble
ourselves and serve our family.
5.
We dine with our
Groom on the Sacrifice of Atonement (eat meat cooked over an open flame as
it is a Sabbath).
6.
We afflict (bare)
our souls in humility to our High Priest as we come to know him intimately
trusting him with our inner most secrets, fears, shortcomings, etc.
7.
We trust that our
High Priest can take those inner most secrets to our Father to mediate on our
behalf.
8.
We become one
with our Groom as “the two shall become one” AT (that) ONE (mo)MENT when
“atonement” is made before Yahuah and the marriage is consummated
Simply put, Yom Kippur is
the one day a year when we manifest the Kingdom on Earth and The Heavenly
Scroll is fulfilled by the High Priest standing at the Altar.
We, like the colors of a
Rainbow, are exposed out of the nations
Revelation 4:1-3
1
The Throne in Heaven After this I looked (into the
stars), and behold, a door was opened in heaven (John was shown the meaning of The Heavenly Scroll); and the first
voice which I heard was (Yahuah, the Aleph/Tav),
as it were, of a Shofar talking with me, which said: Come up here, and I will
show you things (in The Heavenly Scroll) which
must take place after this. 2 And immediately I was in the Spirit;
and behold, a Throne was set in (the midst or middle
of) The Heavenly Scroll, and One sat on the Throne. 3 And He
Who sat there had the appearance of a jasper and a sardius stone, and there was a rainbow (people
from every nation Rev 7:9)
surrounding the Throne, like the appearance of an emerald.
Revelation 7:9
After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe
and people and language, standing in front of
the Throne (like a rainbow Rev. 4 3) and before the Lamb.
And, as the Bride, we
approach that same Altar and we enter/confirm The Yahushaic Covenant. This marriage
covenant liberates this fallen Creation as we dine together on the Sacrifice of
Atonement. The Dragon is defeated and put under our feet. This day is the
fulfillment of the pictograph of ARIES in The Heavenly Scroll.
What I have presented in
this book is the Spiritual Intent of Yom Kippur. The REAL meaning and Intent
and how we should celebrate it as we too have a role to play in fulfilling The
Heavenly Scroll.
