Resharing as it’s that time again for 7th Month Moedim Appointment Feasts!!
What Calendar Do We Observe?
This is my response when asked what calendar my husband and I observe:
I’m trying my best to keep my focus on the Timekeeper! That being said, after many years of study, and for many years we observed the moedim appointments according to the count of the moonth days from the Rosh Chodesh head of each month.
It is simple. A child gets it. A shepherd in a field gets it. One can be knocked out and wake up weeks or months later, and look up at the sky and figure out what month and day they are in.
It is simplicity.
I used to be the type that would study for the sake of knowing the truth and to make sure I was doing what was right.
I loved knowledge. So much so that ELOHIM had to give me a dream to show me what the demon spirit of “knowledge” looked like. She was impeccably beautiful. STUNNING!!
To look at her was paralyzing!
YHWH revealed to me that it was the Spirit of Revelation (from Him) that mattered— NOT knowledge.
I love to learn and I’m a teacher, a call gifted to me by YHWH.
I love and search for the truth; but it is The Truth Yeshua that matters
I now find myself too tired for such. No incentive or purpose for such.
I’m being honest; whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
It is where I am.
I’m thinking the calendar wasn’t supposed to be so difficult. I don’t think it should have consumed so much of my time. Although I love the satisfaction that I know — that I know — what the days, the months, hours, night, day and patterns are from Genesis to Revelations.
It is a beautiful flow and pattern of His time. The purpose to know is to know when to go meet Him and be with his family via the Moedim appointment feasts.
It was to tell us when to meet Him in the PLACE where He put His Name SHeM - Power, Character, and Authority! His PRESENCE was there with His Bride, His people. It was so glorious that even the goy nations knew he was with His Own — and they trembled!!
Consider now, that ELOHIM Alef Tav dwells within each of His covenant people (that make up the corporate Bride); where He has put His Power, Character, and Authority; within each of His Living Stone Tabernacles!
However, I will venture to say that the goy nations will not know nor see His PRESENCE — UNTIL we are united corporately— ECHaD!
ONLY when all 12 tribes (before the two house division) were TOGETHER as ONE in UNITY - ECHAD, under ONE King, WAS His Power, Character, and Authority—NAME-SHEM PRESENCE, with His GLORY — for all to witness!!
I just want to REST in a relationship with the Messiah, where I have my ear on His chest, trying to hear His every breath.
The calendar we believe to be most accurate (while in diaspora) was easy to do when living in Montana, as there were others that we fellowshipped with who counted and followed the same.
Then we were called to Oregon to fellowship and minister with different groups with different calendars; of which there are now many more calendars!
Wherever I traveled and was called to speak or teach, we observed the calendar of what the group or congregation were following.
Today, as a general rule, we follow the Hillel calendar, except for whenever we are observing a moed with Mishpocah. Then we honor their calendar together to celebrate with them.
Without being in the covenantal land and without a tabernacle for corporate appointment gatherings, observation for the three main pilgrimage feasts aren’t much to “feast about.”
Yes, we can still put the Moedim in remembrance and press into time with Him if we do not have those to gather with; and that time is precious. However, it is the corporate gathering of the light
within each of us that makes the *MiQRA (H4744 or the meeting of the heads/people of light order) before the King INTHRALLING: as I am sure He intended!
*MiQRA -Mem, Quf, Resh, Alef: The flowing light from the head/mind source of the Divine Strong Mighty El/Al.
We believe it is more important to Fellowship with Mishpocah than to point out what we think is right or wrong with the calendar.
It truly takes a depth of study from the Scriptures and digging into the original language. This takes time; as in months and years; with (preferably in-person, heart-to-heart) fellowship and midrash; testing each angle and argument (iron sharpening iron—in love and respect); and learning what we didn’t know and praying YHWH will reveal to us what we don’t know that we don’t know! Psalm 13:3.
After more than 30 years in this walk and entering into my winter season, I don’t have the stamina or incentive to keep digging and wrestling with the calendars.
I have not found that these things (we disagree about or search so earnestly for that are not focused on searching His heart) are effective or of lasting value that will count for all eternity.
My days are short! Our days are short! We don’t have time to waste whatever energy and zeal we have on that which will not get us through tribulation and be eternally valued in the Restored Kingdom!
These things have distracted us and kept us from being empowered! We (Ephraim or Judah, of the two houses, of the two sticks: the prodigal and his brother) are NOT in unity and a powerful Bride to be utilized to serve our Bridegroom and King to be effective in this world — to reap a HARVEST— YET!
However, I believe the reality of tribulation and birth pang contractions (of His Kingdom as it is in Heaven being done on earth) WILL CAUSE US to come together, in unity, and we will be EMPOWERED to be His Bride as WITNESSES to ALL the earth— to call the world to REPENTANCE BEFORE the Judgment of Fire/Light — The DAY of the LORD YHWH ELOHIM ALEF TAV(as in The Days of Noah, before the flood-water judgment) and ResTORAHtion of all things!
As we look at all the chaos in the world and the ever increasing move towards the coming of our Messiah, it is noteworthy to consider that the pain and suffering of the tribulation, contraction, birth pang, is for the purpose to prepare the baby for the birth (into The Kingdom). The tribulation has and will continue to PREPARE the people of the world to be willing and more than READY to REPENT and PREPARE for the Coming King! This is the Great Harvest!
The TRANSITION of the Birth of the Kingdom is SOON upon us!
It boggles my mind that the Scriptures tell us there will still be those who will not repent and will shake their fists at Elohim Alef Tav. Then again, I’m beginning to believe that most of those who will not repent are not, or will not be, 100% human. Consider that, in The Days of Noah, he and those on the ark were unmixed seed.
I still believe after a most thorough study of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelations, having recorded the count and patterns for each “day” and each “month”, that the calendar we presently believe to be true is still valid and most trustworthy.
However, there are nuances that I do not think can be corrected or known for certain, at this time. I don’t think our time clock (heavenly time pieces) of today are the same as it was before the Exodus and is not the same as it will be after the Day of Yahweh.
I believe that the moon was on the same timing of ellipses as the sun (in unity symbolizing the Groom/sun and the Bride/moon who reflects the light of the Groom/son as she/moon has no light of her own); and it was 360 days or 360° for both to dance in unison around the earth—-and will be again.
I think the lack of knowing for certain and unity is part of our discipline of being sent out of the land to be in Diaspora.
Perhaps we are trying to force a unity and our self-righteousness of knowledge about the calendar when we should be more concerned about a closer walk with Him, vertically in relationship, and then extending that horizontally to the rest of our family viz., brothers and sisters.
I just imagine that we have been children that have been put in a time out (diaspora) - sent to our bedrooms to get our attitude straightened out. We are in a room with our brothers and sisters, who were also disobedient.
I believe our Heavenly Father is more concerned about our heart condition and how we treat each other in that room.
Do we love facts and Scripture which are EXTERNAL words written on paper that were translated (even to the best of ability); OR, do we LOVE Yeshua Elohim Alef Tav, in Spirit and Truth, INTERNALLY (with His Torah imprinted on our heart) even MORE?!
If we do, we will love His children more (our brothers and sisters); instead of striving to be the one child, He loves most! We must strive to build up and make one another look their best; for together, as one ECHaD family, in one house, WE ALL will please OUR Father!
Humbly submitted for your consideration from a weary soldier trying to conserve her strength for the battles to come that will count eternally,
