THE FALL FEAST, THE
MILLENIUM REIGN OF MASHIACH, THE NUMBER SEVEN, AND THE ALEF-TAV
Daniel ben Ya’acov Ysrael
Traditional
eschatology regarding the plan of redemption of YHWH is known as the First
coming of Mashiach during the Spring Feasts, while the second coming is
believed to occur during the Fall Feast.
In this paper, I
will present a different interpretation on the eschatological view of the time of
redemption and the Millennium.
Please before
everything, be patient and read to the end, before bringing your opinion or
even to judge me. I have been among those who have followed many “so called
teachers” and fall into their biased view of the lasts days’ eschatology.
I will agree
with many that the Feast are a shadow of the time line redemption of mankind, but
no more as it is presented by the majority of believers.
You will know
that I am convinced that Mashiach will return, not as many believe during the 7th
month but during the spring season, rather during Shavuot. We will easily accept that when Yeshua the Groom comes back to reign he is already married to His bride the royal Qehilah? Assembly? This paper will explain why and explain
what is about to pass during the fall season.
First some
explanation, I have posted recently in my Facebook a short commentary based on
the lunar calendar, the only calendar Yehovah is using to count time.
Quote from my Facebook posting:
CRISTAL NIGHT 1938!
Did you know
that the Nazis organized the terrible evil "Cristal Night" plan which
initiated WWII, on the 9th - 10th of November 1938?
Now look at the picture below, it was in the HEBREW CALENDAR, and happened just
AFTER YOM KIPPUR from the Hebrew calendar.
In the year 1938, the First
month started in the Hebrew calendar March 31, and YOM KIPPUR was on November
2nd.
The picture below show that in this year, Yom Kippur falls
just before the “Cristal Night”, the night the Nazis used to accuse the Jews of
destroying the “Reichstag” Building, just before the season of joy (Succoth).
Don’t think that I am sarcastic, because nobody can have even a smile on this
calamity, but for history sake, I would like to bring in remembrance that
during the destruction of the Temple in 70CE by Titus, more than 1 Million
(1 000 000) Jews were killed by the Romans. Nobody today remember
them!
Again, it is of
importance to understand that the Calendar of YHWH start after the vernal
equinox (tekufah), the Spring season. With this in mind we understand better the dating, based on
the Roman pagan calendar
Second important point, majority of people believe today that the book
of Revelation is a last day events and ignore what it is really written, they
like to connect the book of Daniel and Revelation to mingle the prophecies. For
my concern, I believe that Daniel is a past event in many points, and what is
to come is written for the sake of the believers partly in Revelation, but not
as it is presented by the many.
First reason: Many things had to come shortly after the message was
delivered.
Rev 1:1 Revelation of יהושע Messiah, which Elohim gave Him to
show His servants what has to take place
with speed. And He signified it by sending His messenger to His servant Yoḥanan,
Rev 1:1 A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave
to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify it , having sent through his messenger to his
servant John,
Rev 1:1 A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave
to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify it , having sent through his messenger to his
servant John,
Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Yeshua HaMashiach, which
Elohim (God) gave unto him, to shew unto
his servants things which must shortly
come to pass; and he sent and signified it
by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 4:1 After this I
looked, and, behold, a door was opened
in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was
as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will
shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Rev 4:1 After these things I saw, and lo, a door
opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard is as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying,
`Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;'
Rev 4:2 and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the
heaven, and upon the throne is one
sitting,
Rev 8:12 And the fourth angel trumpeted. And the third part
of the sun, and the third part of the
moon, and the third part of the stars, was struck, that the third part of them might be darkened, and the third part of the day might not appear; and in the same
way the night.
Rev 8:13 And I saw, and I heard one angel flying in
mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe! Woe! Woe to those dwelling on the
earth, from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three angels being
about to trumpet!
Rev 9:12 The first Woe is past (past verbal from): behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.
Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a
voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Rev 9:12 The
first woe did go (past verb) forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.
Rev 9:13 And the
sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the
altar of gold that is before God,
Rev 9:14 saying to the sixth messenger who had the
trumpet, `Loose (on the spot) the
four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;'
Rev 9:12 The
first woe has departed; behold, after these things come two woes.
Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel trumpeted (past). And I
heard one voice out of the four horns of the golden altar before God,
Rev 9:14 saying to the sixth angel who had the
trumpet, Release (present) the four
angels, those having been bound at the great river Euphrates.
Are this events to come or already past?
Another view:
A bit more:
Rev 17:3 And he carried me away into a
desert, by the Spirit. And I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads
and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was clothed in purple and
scarlet, and being gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
golden cup in her hand, filled with abominations and unclean things of her
fornication.
Rev 17:5 And on her forehead was a name having been
written: Mystery, Babylon the Great*, the Mother of the Harlots and of the
Abominations of the Earth.
* The question is: Who is Babylon the Great harlot?
The answer is given us in Revelation 18:20,
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
confirmed by the words of Yeshua in Matt: 23
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman being drunk from the
blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I
marveled, seeing her, with a great marveling.
Rev 17:7 And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel?
I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast supporting her, the
one having the seven heads and the ten horns.
Rev 17:8 The beast which you saw was, and is not, and
is about to come up out of the abyss, and goes to perdition. And those dwelling
on the earth will marvel, the ones whose names have not been written on the
Book of Life from the foundation of the world, seeing the beast, that it was a
thing, and is not, yet now is.
Rev 17:9 Here is
the mind having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman
sits on them.
Rev 17:10 And the kings are seven. The five fell, and
the one is, and the other has not yet
come. And when he does come, he must remain a little.
Rev 17:11 And the beast which was, and is not, even he
is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to perdition.
Rev 17:12 And the ten horns you saw are ten kings who
have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive authority as kings one hour
with the beast.
Rev 17:13 These have one mind, and their power and
authority they shall give up to the beast.
Rev 17:14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and the
ones with Him are the called and elect
and faithful ones.
Rev 17:15 And he says to me, The waters which you saw,
where the harlot sits, are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast,
these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolated and naked. And they
will eat her flesh, and will burn her down with fire.
Rev 17:17 For God gave into their hearts to do His
mind, and to act in one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the
Words of God shall be fulfilled.
Rev 17:18 And the
woman whom you saw is the great city, having a kingdom over the kings of
the earth.
Question: Is Rome
(papacy) a great city? You answer!
QUESTION: Where and when in the TaNaHk (Torah, writtings and prophet) and in history the pope has been called a "prophet" (Rev. 16:13, 19:20, 20:10)
Rev 19:1And after these things, I heard a great voice of a large multitude in Heaven, saying,
Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the honor and the power of the Lord
our God!
Rev 19:2 For true and
righteous are His judgments, because He
judged the great harlot who defiled the earth with her fornication. And He
avenged the blood of His slaves out of her hand.
Rev 19:3 And a second
time they said, Hallelujah! Also her smoke goes up to the ages of the ages.
Rev 19:4 And the twenty
four elders, and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God sitting
on the throne, saying, Amen! Hallelujah!
Rev 19:5 And a voice
came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all His slaves, and the ones
fearing Him, the small and the great.
Rev 19:6 And I heard as
a sound of a numerous crowd, and as a sound of many waters, and as a sound of
strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah! Because the Lord God Almighty reigned.
Rev 19:7 Let us rejoice
and let us exult, and we will give glory to Him, because the marriage of the
Lamb came, and His wife prepared herself.
Rev 19:8 And it was given to her that she be clothed
in fine linen, pure and bright; for the fine linen is the righteousness of the
saints.
Rev 19:9 And he says to
me, Write: Blessed are the ones having
been called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These
Words of God are true.
Rev 19:10 And I
fell before his feet to worship him, but he said to me, Behold! Stop! I am a
fellow-slave of yours, and of your brothers, having the testimony of Yehoshua.
Worship God. For the testimony of Yehoshua is the spirit of prophecy.
Rev 19:11 And I
saw Heaven being opened. And, behold! A white horse, and He sitting on it
having been called Faithful and True, and He judges and wars in righteousness.
Rev 19:12 And His
eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His
head many diadems, having a name that had been written, which no one knows
except Himself;
Rev 19:13 and
having been clothed in a garment which had been dipped in blood. And His name
is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the
armies in Heaven followed Him on white horses, being dressed in fine linen,
white and pure.
Rev 19:15 And out
of His mouth goes forth a sharp sword, that with it He might smite the nations.
And He will shepherd them with an iron rod. And He treads the winepress of the
wine of the anger and of the wrath of God Almighty.
Rev 19:16 And He has on His
garment and on His thigh a name having been written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF
LORDS.
Rev 19:17 And I
saw one angel standing in the sun. And he cried with a great voice, saying to
all the birds flying in mid-heaven, Come and gather together to the supper of
the great God,
Rev 19:18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of chiliarchs, and the flesh of strong ones, and the flesh of horses, and of the ones sitting on
them, and the flesh of all, both freemen
and slaves, even of the small and great.
Rev 19:19 And I
saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies being assembled to
make war with the One sitting on the
horse, and with His army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was seized, and with this one
the false prophet doing signs before it, by which he led astray those having
received the mark of the beast, and those worshiping its image. The two were
thrown alive into the Lake of Fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the
rest were killed with the sword of the One
sitting on the horse, the sword having
gone forth from His mouth. And all the birds were filled from their flesh.
Changing of time period:
Rev 20:1 And I saw
an angel coming down out of Heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great
chain on his hand.
Rev 20:2 And he laid
hold of the dragon, the old serpent who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him
a thousand years,
Rev 20:3 and threw him into the abyss, and shut him
up, and sealed over him, that he should not still lead astray the nations,
until the thousand years are fulfilled. And after these things, he must be set
loose a little time.
Rev 20:4 And I saw
thrones, and they sat on them. And judgment was given to them, and the souls of
the ones having been beheaded because of the witness of Yehoshua, and because
of the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast nor its image, and had
not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they lived and reigned with Mssiah a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the
rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were ended. This is
the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is
the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death has no
authority over these, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will
reign with Him a thousand years.
Rev 20:7 And whenever the thousand years are ended,
Satan will be set loose out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 and he will go to mislead the nations in the
four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to assemble them in war, whose number
is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up over the breadth of the land
and encircled the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. And fire from God
came down out of Heaven and burned them down.
Rev 20:10 And the Devil leading them astray was thrown
into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were. And they were tormented day and night to
the ages of the ages.
Rev 20:11 And I saw a Great White Throne, and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and
the heaven fled; and a place was not found for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, the small and the great,
standing before God. And books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is the Book
of Life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books,
according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead in it. And death
and hell gave up the dead in them. And they were each judged according to their
works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were thrown into the Lake
of Fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And if anyone was not found having been
written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire.
When the First resurrection does occur?
First we should know as the different verses tell us, that “tribulation”
started just after the departure of Yehoshua HaMashiach.
The death of Ya’acov HaTzadik (James) brought the irreversible downfall
and way out from repentance, which had for apogee the destruction of the Temple
in 70CE by Titus.
Mat 24:29 and immediately after the affliction
(tribulations) of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not
give her light, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the
heavens will be shaken.
Mat 24:30 and then
the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens. And then all the tribes
of the land will wail. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of
heaven with power and much glory. Dan. 7:13
Mat 24:31 and He will send His angels with a great sound
of a trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends
of the heavens to their ends.
(John 11:24 [KJV])
Martha saith unto him, I know that he
shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
(Phil 3:11 [KJV])
If by any means I might attain
unto the resurrection of the dead.
(1Pet 1:3 [NRKJV])
Blessed be the El and Father of our Master Yehoshua the Messiah, which according
to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Yehoshua the Messiah from the dead,
(Rev 20:6 [NRKJV])
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in
the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of יהוה and
of Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Now before going a step further, let see what Yehoshua
says in the same book of Revelation :
Rev 22:8 And I, John, was the one seeing and
hearing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship
before the feet of the angel showing me these things.
Rev 22:9 And he said to me, Behold! Stop! For I am
your fellow-slave, and of your brothers the prophets, and of the ones keeping
the Words of this Book. Do worship to God.
Rev 22:10 And he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book, because the time
is near.
Rev 22:11 The one acting unjustly, let him still act
unjustly; and the filthy, let him still be filthy; and the righteous, let him
still do righteousness; and the holy, let him still be holy.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I am coming quickly, and My
reward is with Me, to give to each as
his work is.
After the chapter 19 we have chapter 21 and 22 who show another aspect
of this book:
Rev 21:1 And I
saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth
passed away, and the sea no longer is.
Rev 21:2 And I,
John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,
having been prepared as a bride, having been adorned for her Husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven,
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
with men! And He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His people,
and God Himself will be with them as their God.
Rev 22:3 And every curse will no longer be. And the throne of God and the Lamb will be in
it; and His slaves will serve Him.
Rev 22:4 And they will see His face; and His name will be on their foreheads.
Rev 22:5 And
night will not be there; and they have no need of a lamp or a light of the sun,
because the Yehovah Elohim will illumine them. And they shall reign to the
ages of the ages.
Let me now explain a concept which is not what we
understand today:
“the ages of the ages”, sometime translated as:
-
Forever and ever
-
Forevermore
The Greek word is “aion”
G165 αἰών aion (ai-own') n.
1. (properly) an age
2. (by extension) perpetuity (also past)
3. (by implication) the world
4. (specially, Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future)
Today we understand the word « forever » to be an unlimited
time without end!
Not so in Hebrew understanding.
H5769 עוֹלָם עוֹלָם
`owlam (o-lawm') (or lolam {o-lawm'}) n-m.
1. (properly) concealed, i.e. the vanishing point
2. (generally) time out of mind (past or future)
3. (practically) eternity
4. (frequentatively, adverbially, especially with prepositional prefix) always
From:
H5956 עָלַם `alam (aw-lam') v.
1. to veil from sight, i.e. conceal (literally or
figuratively
Designing a long
period of time, in Hebrew understanding the “age” can represent 2000 years.
So when somebody
tells you that “forever” is always and without end, be careful what you are
reading. The word actually refers more to a very long period until it vanishes
out of our mind or from the generation’s mind. The context will determine what
is behind he word “forever”.
With that in mind we
will now look at the Fall Feast.
If you have read my paper concerning the returning of Mashiach during Shavuot
(see the link above), we will have now to understand why it is so.
A careful inspection of the scriptures will give us some important clues
concerning Succoth, the Feast of Tabernacle:
(Deut 16:13 [KJV])
Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy
wine:
(Exod 23:16 [KJV])
And the feast of harvest,
the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year
(Tekufah/Equinox), when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the
field.
This
particular Feast take place at the Tekufah (Equinox) season after the gathering of the fruits, and
not before.
At the End of
the Feast of Succoth remains one special day:
(Lev 23:39 [NRKJV])
Also in the
fifteenth day of the seventh month, when
ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto יהוה
seven days: on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.
(Lev 23:40 [NRKJV])
And ye shall
take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees,
and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice
before יהוה your Elohim seven days.
(Lev 23:41 [NRKJV])
And ye shall
keep it a feast unto יהוה seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for
ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
(Lev 23:42 [NRKJV])
Ye shall dwell
in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
(Lev 23:43 [NRKJV])
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 יהוה your Elohim.
(Lev 23:44 [NRKJV])
And Moses
declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of יהוה.
For those
keeping YHWH calendar, the Lunar Shabbat they will have no problem to see how
perfect is YHWH’ commandment.
The first day of
Succoth fall every year on the Full
Moon, the 15 of the Lunar month, thus De
Facto the 8th days is also the Shabbat (22nd of the
month) and the conclusion of the Feast of Succoth with an extra day which is a
picture of the “Olam HaBa” the life after the Millennium.
Most f Christian bibles translate this way
(Ps 81:3 [KJV])
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
More
accurate is following :
(Ps 81:3 [ESV2011])
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at
the full moon, on our feast day.
(Ps 81:3 [ISV])
Blow the ram’s horn when there is a New Moon, when there is a full moon, on our festival day,
Indeed the Full moon is a Shabbat
day. This psalm 81 was written for the deliverance of the Children of Ysrael
from the bondage of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
(Ps 81:4 [NRKJV])
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the Elohim of Jacob.
(Ps 81:5 [NRKJV])
This he
ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the
land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
(Ps 81:6 [NRKJV])
I removed his
shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
(Ps 81:7 [NRKJV])
Thou calledst
in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of
thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
We know that the children of Ysrael left Egypt during
the Full moon.
I have shown in the beginning of this paper that in 1938 was the
beginning of the WWII with the beginning of the extermination of many of the
Jewish people, BUT not only; this war caused more than 60 millions people’s
life. When twenty years before, during WWI (14-18), almost 10 million people
died.
WWII started with the
“Cristal night” during the Yom Kippur on Yehovah’s calendar.
What are the Fall Feasts?
I explain the dual view of
Yom Kippur, for the one atonement, for the others judgment. Yom Kippur is the
day the world will be judged. The believers are not to be judged as we have
already undergone our judgment as explained by Sha’ul and Kefa:
(2Thess 1:3 [NRKJV])
We are bound to thank יהוה always for
you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and
the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
(2Thess 1:4 [NRKJV])
So that we ourselves glory in you in the assemblies of יהוה for your patience and faith in
all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
(2Thess 1:5 [NRKJV])
Which is a manifest token of the
righteous judgment of יהוה, that ye may
be counted worthy of the kingdom of יהוה, for which ye also suffer:
(1Pet 4:17 [NRKJV])
For the time is come that judgment must begin
at the house of יהוה: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of
them that obey not the gospel of יהוה?
Judgment on the House of Ysrael started
after the departure of Yehoshua (tribulation).
(2Thess 2:13 [NRKJV])
But we are
bound to give thanks alway to יהוה for you, brethren beloved of the Master,
because יהוה hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
(1Thess 5:9 [NRKJV])
For יהוה hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Master Yehoshua the Messiah,
The wrath of Elohim will fall upon the
ungodly, those who reject the truth.
THE
FEAST OF SUCCOTH IS A SHADOW OF THE MILLENIUM PERIOD.
Are you surprised? Have you read that this particular
Feast take place only after the harvest has been finished?
What represent the number seven?
(Gen 2:1 [NRKJV])
Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them.
(Gen 2:2 [NRKJV])
And on the seventh day Elohim
ended his work which he had made; and he
rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
The seven day is the day of rest (Shabbat)
(Exod 20:8 [NRKJV])
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
(Exod 20:9 [NRKJV])
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
(Exod 20:10 [NRKJV])
But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of יהוה thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
The shabbat is
also a shadow of the Millennium reign of Mashiach:
(Heb 4:3 [NRKJV])
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have
sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were
finished from the foundation of the world.
(Heb 4:4 [NRKJV])
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And
Elohim did rest the seventh day from all his works.
(Heb 4:5 [NRKJV])
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
(Heb 4:6 [NRKJV])
Seeing
therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was
first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
(Heb 4:7 [NRKJV])
Again, he
limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is
said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
(Heb 4:8 [NRKJV])
For if Joshua had given them rest, then
would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
(Heb 4:9 [NRKJV])
There remaineth
therefore a rest
(Shabbat) to the people of Elohim.
(Heb 4:10 [NRKJV])
For he that is
entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as יהוה did from
his.
The verse 9 used the word :
G4520 σαββατισμός sabbatismos (sab-bat-is-mos') n.
1. a
"sabbatism"
2. (figuratively) the repose

1. the Sabbath
(i.e. Shabbath)
2. a day of weekly

The seventh
month is a shadow of things to come at the end of the age
The eight days of Succoth is called
“shemini atzereth”.
The sages interpreted this to mean that God asks all
who made pilgrimage for Sukkot to tarry (atzeret), which comes from the
Hebrew root word meaning "to hold back" with Him one additional day.
(Num 29:35 [NRKJV])
On the eighth
day ye shall
have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein:
This 8th day is a picture of the
« Olam Haba », the eternal life as we have seen in revelation 21 when
Yehovah will dwell among His people.
CONCLUSION:
Mashiach return at Shavuot to take his bride (see my post), Yom Teruah herald
the coming of judgment, before Succoth come the last gathering from among the
nations* those who have repented before Yom Kippur. Believers at this time are
not among the pagans.
Deu 33:13 And of Yosĕph he said, “Blessed of יהוה is his land, with the choicest from
the heavens, with the dew, and the deep lying beneath,
Deu 33:14 with the choice fruits of the sun, with the
choice yield of the months,
Deu 33:15 with the finest
of the ancient mountains, with the choicest of the everlasting hills,
Deu 33:16 with the choicest
of the earth and all that fills it, and the good pleasure of Him who dwelt in
the bush. Let it come on the head of Yosĕph, and on the crown of the head of
him who was separate from his brothers.
Deu 33:17 “His splendour is
like a first-born bull, and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox. With
them he pushes the peoples to the ends of the earth. And they are the ten
thousands of Ephrayim, and they are the thousands of Menashsheh.”
Ephraïm has filled the earth with his seed. Now still
many need to repent and leave their idolatry and false belief, to enter the
household of Elohim. The year will soon come that the trumpet (alarm) will
sound at Yom Teruah, after that the door will be closed.
Jas_5:7 (KJV) Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Master. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it,
until he receive the early and latter rain*.
- *Early and
later rain refer directly to fall and spring time, thus directly with
abundance.
(Deut 11:13 [NRKJV])
And it shall
come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I
command you this day, to love יהוה your Elohim, and to serve him with all your
heart and with all your soul,
(Deut 11:14 [NRKJV])
That I will
give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn (Spring), and thy wine
(Fall),
and thine oil (Olive/Fall).
(Hos 6:1 [NRKJV])
Come, and let us return
(repentance/Shuv)
unto יהוה: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will
bind us up.
(Hos 6:2 [NRKJV])
After two days
(End of the time of Mashiach*) will he revive us: in the third day he
will raise us up (resurrection), and we shall live in his sight.
*Not the Millennium
(Hos 6:3 [NRKJV])
Then shall we know, if we follow on to
know יהוה: his going forth is prepared as the
morning; and he shall come unto us as
the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Baruch
HaShem Yehovah !
