hwhy is a Separated God that must
be set apart in your life.
Lev 19:2 Speak to all the congregation of the
children of Yisra’el, and say to them: You shall
be set apart, for I hwhy your God am
holy.
1Kefa 1:16 because it is written, Be set apart,
because I am separated.
Deuteronomy 12:30 – 32
Take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after
they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their
gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do
likewise.
31 You shall not do so unto hwhy your God; for everything
that is an abomination to hwhy which He has hated, they
have done unto their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters
in the fire unto their gods.
32 Whatever I am commanding you, take heed to do it; you shall not
add to it nor take away from it.
Yog 7 shows that Yeshua kept the feasts.
The Apostle Sha’ul also kept these Holy Days
after Yeshua's death.
Acts 18:18-21- Acts 20:6 & 16,
1 Cor 16:8
Z’kh 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that
everyone who is left from all the nations
which came up against Yerushalayim shall go
up from year to year to bow down before the
King, hwhy of Hosts, and keep the
Feast of Booths.
Col 2:16 & 17
"Therefore do not let anyone
judge you in eating and drinking or in details of
a feast or of
a new moon or of the Sabbaths, which are a
shadow of things to
come, but the body of The Anointed One."
The Moon as basis for determining the
year.
Psalm 104:19 says “He made the moon for the seasons; the
sun knows the place of its setting.” Since the calendar is
based on the moon cycle, the arrival of the new moon is a
crucial event. In ancient times three witnesses were needed
to confirm when the first sliver of the moon was visible. At
that time a fire was lit on the Mount of Olives to signal
others watching to light fires on the surrounding hills until
the message was spread throughout Yisra’el that a new
month had begun.
Generally, it is only seen
for a short time after sunset, as the sky becomes fairly dark. The
moment of seeing the New Moon marks the beginning of the first
day of the new month. This explains the Jewish custom of
counting days from dusk to dusk (Lev 23:32). Using any other time
would result in confusion about whether that day was the last day
of the old month or the first day of the new month. As the average
lunar cycle is about four weeks and one and a half days long, the
Annual Holy Days, such as Passover, fall on different days of the
week from year to year.
Scriptures that determine the Biblical basis of the calendar:
Gen 1:14 God tells us that He has made the lights in the
heavens. He also says they are to determine the "signs and
seasons". The Hebrew for 'seasons' -moade- literally means
"appointed times".
Lev 23:4 The same Hebrew word -moade- is used here,
among other places, to refer to the timing of God's Annual
Sabbaths.
Ps 104:19 also reminds us that the moon is used to determine
God's "Appointed Times".
Ex 12 tells us that the month of the Passover is the first
month of the year.
Ex 13:4 calls this month 'Aviv', a Hebrew word which means
"green ears", referring to the ripening ears of the winter
barley crop. This event occurs in April or early May in Yisra’el.
Lev 23:10-14 shows that the month of Aviv always
coincides with the beginning of the year's
harvest in Yisra’el. According to verse 14 they
are not allowed to begin eating the new season's
harvest until the wave sheaf has been offered on
the Sunday during the Week of Unleavened
Bread. (ie- the Wave Offering)
Thus we can see that this calendar is based on
both an annual solar cycle, which is controlled
by the ripening of the winter barley crops and a
monthly cycle determined by the moon. The
importance of the 'greater light' and the 'lesser
light' in determining God's Appointed Times has
now been established.
There is no record of the 7-day
week cycle ever having been
broken. Calendar changes and
reform have never interrupted the
7-day cycles. It is very likely that
the week cycles have run
uninterrupted at least since the
days of Moshe, possibly even
longer.
God’s Appointed Times
In Leviticus 23, God calls the feasts “My appointed
times”. The feasts are God’s way to remind His people that
He is Lord of the calendar, King of creation, Ruler over
time, past, present, and future. He established special times
to meet with us in a particular way to commemorate events
in His dealings with man. When we celebrate the feasts in
the way He ordained, we reinforce the relationship He
established with us and honor His sovereignty over us.
The timing of the feasts is important...God is very specific
on when we are to celebrate these events.
Lev 23:4 … “which you shall proclaim in their appointed
seasons:”
1. Because of the harvests.
.
2. Because of Spiritual meaning
3. Because of prophecy
.
Lev 23:1 And hwhy spoke to
Moshe, saying:
Lev 23:2 Speak to the children of Yisra’el,
and say to them: The set feasts of
hwhy, which you shall proclaim as
set apart convocations, these are My
appointed times:
Shabbat
Exo 35:2 Work shall be done six days, but the
seventh day shall be separated for you, a rest of
Sabbath observance unto hwhy.
Whoever does any work on it shall be put to
death.
Lev 23:3 …a set apart convocation.
1. The feasts are a shadow of things to come that
teach us about the Messiah Col 2:16-17; Hebr 10:1.
2. The feasts are prophetic types and examples
foreshadowing significant events in God's plan of
redemption (1 Cor 10:1-6,11).
3. hwhy gave the feasts so we could learn and
understand God's plan of redemption for the world
and our personal relationship to Him (Rom 15:4).
4. The feasts, as part of the Torah (which means
"instruction"), are as a schoolmaster or tutor that
leads us to the Messiah (Galatians 3:24).
5. The feasts will point to the Messiah and God's plan
for the world through the Messiah (Ps 40:6-8;
Hebrews 10:7).
6. Yeshua (Jesus) came to fulfill all that was written
in the (Tanach), which consists of three parts: the
Torah, the prophets (Nevi'im), and the writings
(Ketuvim – personified by the Psalms) concerning
Him (Luk 24:26-27,44-45; Yog 5:46-47).
7. The feasts set forth the pattern of heavenly things
on earth (Heb 8:1-2,5; 9:8-9,23; Ex 25:8-9,40;
Ex 26:30; Num 8:4; Eze 43:1-6,10-12).
8. hwhy gives the natural to explain the spiritual
(1 Cor 15:46-47).
9. By studying the natural, we can understand the spiritual (1 Cor 2:913; 2 Cori 4:18).

Lev 23:11 he shall wave the sheaf before hwhy, to
be accepted for you; on the day after the Shabbat the priest
shall wave it.
