FEASTS OF YAHWEH
AS IT IS WRITTEN As the end of the age draws nearer, the confused state of man becomes more and more evident in the eyes of those who are striving to follow the way set forth in the scriptures for all mankind. Sometimes we discover that a thing is so simple we often skip right over it without even seeing it. The same is true with the plan of Yahweh. Instead of simply accepting His Word just AS IT IS WRITTEN and as little children; believing it in all sincerity, we begin by using our own reasoning and thereby injecting our own thoughts into Yahweh’s word. First of all, it…

CALCULATING TIME
The following letter was written in 1983 in the interest of unity concerning Yahweh’s set times. Dear Brother: Shalom in Yahweh and Yahshua. HalleluYah. It has come to me to write this to you concerning a point, in the interest of all Yahweh’s called observing the correct days. This is in accordance with a prayer of mine about 19 years ago. First of all, I hope you had a trip to Israel that was a beneficial blessing. Also, I want to say I preach, and desire to be known as a minister that represents the entire assembly of Yahweh – not just the local FAITH assembly in Michigan. Since you…

BEGINNING THE MONTH
“ . . . in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets . . .” (Numbers 10:10). Also see Numbers 28:11. What is the beginning of the month and its significance? As believers of the Scriptures, let us consider some of the evidence. In the Scriptures we find that the word “chodesh” is translated “new moon” and “month;” so when a day of the month is spoken of, such as in Exodus 12:6, we know it must be speaking of a day of the new moon, and that the new moon begins the month.…

LOOKING FORWARD TO YAHSHUA OUR PASSOVER
LOOKING FORWARD The world with its sacred seasons and holidays is careful to observe them from year to year, not only in memoriam of events they commemorate, but also as an inspiration to the living that a lesson may be taught from the past. ORDAINED FROM AGES PAST As the saints enter another Sacred Year, with the observance of the sacred feasts and days that Yahweh has ordained from ages past, we hope to look into their meaning today for us, and thus get a portion of their treasure for those of us who wish to obey in the least jot or tittle of the law which governs our obedience.…

PASSOVER COVENANT
One aspect of Passover is the blood covenant created on that last night of Yahshua’s life. Matthew 26:27, 28, Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. This covenant was promised hundreds of years before. Yahweh said through the prophet: Jeremiah 31:31-34, Behold, the days are coming, says Yahweh, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in…

THE FEAST OF WEEKS AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
The Saviour said, “I am not come to destroy the Law nor the prophets, I am not come to destroy but to fulfill,” observe, obey, do (Matthew 5:17). He was careful to keep the weekly Sabbath day. It was his custom, or habit. See Luke 4:16. And also we find him keeping the feasts of Yahweh. (See John 2:23; 4:45; 5:1; 6:4; 7:2, 10, 14, 37; 13th chapter). He was our example. You do not read of him ever offering upon the altar, nor sacrificing a lamb, a goat, a bullock, a dove; but you do read that he kept the “moed,” appointed times, the sacred [separated] days. We can…

YAHWEH’S FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Leviticus 23:1-2 – And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim to be holy (Kodesh) convocations, even these are my feasts. Chapter 23 of Leviticus lists the Feasts of Yahweh with verses 33-43 concerning/describing the Feast of Tabernacles and how it is to be observed. Yahweh gave specific directions how Israel (His chosen-Deuteronomy 7:6-7) was to observe His Feasts. Also in Exodus 23:14-17 – Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. The believer of today who starts to keep Yahweh’s Feasts will find a special blessing in being…
