Jeroboam: The Good and the Bad ....... Jeroboam also established idolatrous worship on high places and appointed his own priests from other than the tribe of Levi (1Kings 12:31). Perhaps his greatest single change was to tamper with God's annual Holy Days. Instead of observing the Feast of Tabernacles in the seventh month as God had commanded, Jeroboam instituted an alternate feast in the eighth month, "in the month which he had devised in his own heart" (verse 33).

Incredible New Insight on the Feast of Trumpets! ....... Does the "Feast of Trumpets" portray the second coming of Jesus Christ? ....... Don't be too sure! It is about time we took a closer look at this vital holy day of God! Here is new understanding regarding this key annual holy day, and its REAL meaning! BY: William F. Dankenbring Fr. ....... Incredible New Insight on the Feast of Trumpets!

Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. ....... When we see the word trumpet in the Bible, the Hebrew equivalent is "shofar". Shofars are those twisty brown ram's horns that have recently become a quite popular Christian decor. Well, forget decor -- we need to learn how to blow those things!! All around the world this season, the shofar is being blown among Jewish communities. While for most Jewish people today, it is tradition to hear the shofar blast, few know of Jesus' soon return. ....... In Biblical days, there were many reasons why the shofar was blown. But most often, it was blown for the purpose of warning the people of impending danger. As we enter into a New Year, and the Lord's return draws closer by the day, we have a responsiblity. We as the body of Messiah are called to be watchmen. We need to be bold and knowledgeable of the Word, that we might be effective witnesses to warn the world of the judgment that is coming!

Jesus Christ is because of righteousness, inwhich it always has exalts a nation, righteousness is also of the same things of when Jesus/Yeshua was saying in His invitation of his Father's Kingdom in many scriptures besides Matt. 6: 1-33! , It is a daily sacrifice to do all of our days Esp. counting of the Omer today!

Also it is a proven fact that since our forefathers of fath esp. those during the time of Jesus Christ, as he had walked on the earth, teaching His disciples about righteousness, counted the days until Pentecost fully came. Scriptures will prove itself. While they were in the upper room Pentecost fully came Acts 2: 1-4.

Fr. ....... BUT STILL! , CONCERNING "The Lord's Sabbaths and his Feasts/Holy Convocations

The Last Great Day of the Feast -- Hoshana Rabbah.The seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles is not an annual Sabbath day -- yet it has special meaning and significance of its own. In ancient times it was known as the "great day of the feast." Being the seventh and last day of the Feast -- and the culmination of the Feast -- it represented in a unique way the FINAL DAY OF HARVEST! Therefore, it also pictured the FINAL DAY of JUDGMENT! It pictured the celebration of the gathering in of the final great harvest of souls in God's plan. We read in the book Celebrate! --

"Therefore, the final day of the festival, when the last sacrifices were offered on behalf of the other nations, was identified as the occasion when the earth is JUDGED regarding replenishment of water, and consequently, when mankind's FATE, collectively and individually, IS SEALED. (Rabbinic literature identifies this Yom Darvata, Day of the Willow, as Yom Hakhitum, Day of Sealing, an extension of Yom Kippur.) Striking the willows then had the added connotation of casting away of sin or symbolizing the thrashings one would receive in punish- ment for sin" (p.214).

The seventh day of the Feast is called "Hoshanah Rabbah," meaning "the many hoshanahs." This is a contraction of hoshiah na -- or "The Great Salvation." During the Middle Ages, customs associated with Yom Kippur -- such as dressing the Torah in white vestments, and the cantor's wearing of a kittel -- were adopted for Hoshanah Rabbah, looked upon as "the final day of judgment." ....... Says Avraham Finkel in Essence of the Holy Days,

Jer. 48: 10 ....... Don't do the work of the Lord deceitfully! Jesus Christ is because of righteousness, inwhich it always has exalts a nation, righteousness is also of the same things of when Jesus/Yeshua was saying in His invitation of his Father's Kingdom in many scriptures besides Matt. 6: 1-33! , It is a daily sacrifice to do all of our days Esp. counting of the Omer today! Also it is a proven fact that since our forefathers of fath esp. those during the time of Jesus Christ, as he had walked on the earth, teaching His disciples about righteousness, counted the days until Pentecost fully came. Scriptures will prove itself. While they were in the upper room Pentecost fully came Acts 2: 1-4.

This wicked king is also described in Daniel 7. We read: “He will speak words against the Most High, and will harass the holy ones of the Most High. He will think of changing times and laws, and they will be delivered into his power for a time, times, and half a times [three and one half years]” (Dan.7:25).

The book of Revelation in the New Testament describes this wicked tyrant as a “beast.” The apostle John writes: “The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for FORTY-TWO MONTHS [three and one half years!]. . . . He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them” (Rev.13:5-7, NIV).

This beast, along with all the kings of the earth, will gather at Jerusalem to fight against the Messiah at His coming, at “the battle on the great day of God Almighty” (Rev.16:14). John says, “They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings -- and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers” (Rev. 17:14). ....... John goes on to describe in vivid prose the SECOND coming of the Messiah, as a conquering KING!:

“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God [compare John 1:1-2,14].

The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. . .

“Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet . . . The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur” (Rev.19:11-20). Thus the army of this world-ruling beast will be destroyed by Christ, and the beast himself slain in the lake of fire. As Daniel foretold, “its end will come through a flood. Desolation is determined until the END of the war” (Dan.9:27). The Messiah Himself will end the “appalling abomination” and the prophesied “decreed destruction will be poured down upon the appalling thing” (Dan.9:27).

HISTORY OF THE SABBATH by J.N.Andrews

The Below Info. does have quite a bit to do with your Salvation, If Interested! , for the Sabbaths with the Feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be Holy Convocations, ....... Lev. 23:1-37, 38-44. , Matt.26:2, Acts 2:1, etc.

THE DEFINITION OF THE OMER AND HOW TO COUNT IT! , after the barley in Israel reaches the stage in its ripeness called Abib, for the Sacred Calendar Sequence of Sabbaths/Feasts/ or Holy Convocations ....... Lev. 23: 4-16 ....... Passover ....... Unleavened Bread ....... Barley/Firstfruits/Wave Sheaf offering, unto Pentecost, unto The Eigth Day ....... Lev. 23:1-39-44.

The "OMER" is the "WAVE SHEAF" of BARLEY which is cut down and offered to Almighty God at the beginning of barley harvest, the day following the Passover holy day, Nisan 15. It was to be waved by the high priest before God on Nisan 16, the day barley harvest was to begin. . IT IS A MEASUREMENT OF BARLEY consisting of about 5.1 pints of grain.

We believe in as far as The Counting of The Omer, one must realize of the context of any given issue or matter concerning its definitions, and then! placing it in its proper place or order, that is! if you will or not, if you are interested in the love of the truth of GOD and his precious dear Son our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth of course! , But if you are not interested, but there again! , we are still in study with:

The Biblical year begins with the first New Moon after the barley in Israel reaches the stage in its ripeness called Abib. The period between one year and the next is either 12 or 13 lunar months. Because of this, it is important to check the state of the Barley crops at the end of the 12th month. If the barley is Abib at this time, then the following New Moon is Hodesh Ha-Aviv ("New Moon of the Abib"). If the barley is still immature, we must wait another month and then check the barley again at the end of the 13th month.

Lev. 23: 4-16 ....... Passover ....... Unleavened Bread ....... Barley/Firstfruits/Wave Sheaf offering. ....... These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations/A Gathering for worship, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. or ....... 15-16- Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. ....... 22. , Acts 2:1, And when the day of Pentecost was fully come! (We must mentioned to you that the day you start to count the omer is not from the weekly Sabbath but the day after the annual Sabbath which is the Feast of Unleavend Bread, so Pentecost will not always fall on a Sunday.) But also on this 50th. day of the omer counting, begins where it is in context with: .......

The context of this verse falls within the timeframe of the Days of Unleavened Bread, as verse 8 summarized the seven days and that the seventh day was a time of holy convocation. The Sabbath referred to in verse 11 could have only been the weekly Sabbath that fell within the Days of Unleavened Bread. If it were counted from either one of the Holy Days (first or seventh), then Pentecost would always fall on the same day of the month year after year and would not have to be counted. but! NOT ON A SUNDAY ALL THE TIME,

and that for the people that knows of this error will continue until their time is over! , but! : it does not mean that: Hebrews 10:25 ....... Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching, Hebrews 10:25

, and other scriptures are also of this context, like Daniel 11:32 ....... And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits, Daniel 11:32

Yep! and then some!
