So I apologise for not getting back to some of you this past 9 days. I have been away keeping a Mitzvah in the Bible, the Feast of Tabernacles. For those of you who have not heard of this Biblical festival, I believe the first mention of the festival is in Leviticus 23:33-35 where it says "33 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, 34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Yahweh. 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work...on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you". We followed the instruction in the Bible to dwell in temporary dwellings such as tents or booths. Leviticus 23:42 says "42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths; 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your Elohim. "
I and my family made our yearly trip to Bethel, Pennsylvania in the U.S.A to observe the Feast of Tabernacles. We spent the first day greeting brethren and sisters and setting up our tents. Once the Feast began, we studied the Word of Yahweh and offered songs of praise to Yahweh for the seven days and then also observed the Last Great Day. It was such a wonderful feast and it gave us the opportunity to observe what the Kingdom will be like. Just a beautiful atmosphere of Philadelphia (brotherly love) was in the camp as we worshipped Yahweh. We observe the New Moons to determine our Feast Days as commanded Isaiah 66:23. Most people don't realise that you can tell when Yahweh's holy days are by observing the New Moon. The New Moon means a new scriptural month has begun. Interestingly and fascinating to me, the seventh scriptural month began on September 1 2019 this year. That was therefore the Feast of Trumpets. Septum of course means seven in latin and was originally the seventh month, not the 9th in our calendar.
The Assemblies of Yahweh, the religious organisation I belong to, have a beautiful campsite at their international headquarters and the weather was picture perfect every day. Every day was sun-filled and glorious. We got no rain and the winds were kept at bay. We heard some amazing special song offerings to Yahweh. One of them was a rendition of this song:
I can honestly say that you missed another great feast, with great spiritual lessons and brethren and sisters rejoicing and serving each other, doing what they can to help each other. It is a shame that Chr-stianity and even Judaism to the most part do not observe the holy days which Yahshua the Messiah kept (John 7). If you work out the Biblical calculations to when the Messiah was born, you'll find he was born on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles and circumcised on the eighth day, so this is an even doubly more important Feast to observe. If you have any questions about the Feast of Tabernacles observation, I'll be happy to answer your questions. I just wanted to let you know where I've been for the past week and a half. It was indeed a mountain top experience and one I wish I could share with each and every one of you.
