An Invitation to the Biblical New Year and Yeshua's Divine Appointments

The journey began three thousand years ago: exodus from Egypt and Pharaoh. The blood of the lamb marked the Passover doors; eagle's wings carried them to shore. Pharaoh pursued with his chariots and men, seeking to capture and enslave the people again. Freedom came at the Sea of Reeds — God split the water and set them free.

*Exodus to all the earth, from Egypt, from bondage — Lord, set the captives free.*

At Sinai, a marriage was formed between God and the people, with the Torah. The people sinned with a golden calf; Moses ascended on their behalf. After forty days he made his descent with new tablets, and the sin was forgiven. The Tabernacle was built in the desert sand, and forty years later they entered the Promised Land.

*Exodus to all the earth, from Zion — from bondage to liberty. Lord, set the captives free.*

Once in the land, rebellion occurred against the Lord, breaking the Torah. The city was burned and the people were taken into captivity in Babylon. After seventy years, the decree was ordained for the people to return to the Promised Land. The temple was built and the walls restored; God's promise kept, the faith renewed.

*Exodus to all the earth, from Babylon to Zion — from bondage to liberty.*

After another era of rebellion, by rejecting the atonement for sin, Yeshua prophesied destruction their way. Forty years later, the Romans sealed their fate. The city was burned; the people were exiled throughout the earth for endless miles. Then the nation was born again in 1948, and Aliyah occurred at a great pace.

*Exodus — Aliyah — from the four corners to Zion, from bondage.*

A day is coming for the final gathering, to fulfill all transgressions and bring eternal life. A beast will rise with a covenant of death, deceiving the people, even the elect. But the Lion of Judah will roar from on high, saving the people again. The king's victory march will be the last Aliyah, as he places his feet on the Mount of Olives.

*Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the four corners to Jerusalem — forever in the Promised Land, one new body and one new man. Yeshua set the captives free.*

Shalom, everybody. My name is Chadwick Harvey, and you have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you very much for joining us tonight as we offer an invitation — an invitation to those who want to come to the table with Yeshua in this new year, on his divine appointments. It is a great time to be alive, a wonderful time to celebrate him on the divine appointments that he has orchestrated, that he has fulfilled, and the ones he is coming back to fulfill again. It is an amazing understanding, and a paradigm shift for those who may not yet know these things — and that is perfectly all right. That is why we are offering this invitation, with one week remaining before the new year on the biblical calendar comes to fruition. My hope is that we can get just as excited about this new year as we do about December 31st.

This is a really important time to be in alignment with him. There is no better opportunity to get in alignment than to start the new biblical calendar with him — with your Father, with your King — on his divine appointments. Once you have this revelation, there is no turning back. It is totally amazing when you get on the same page with the Lord in the ways of worship. He will show you great and amazing things that you do not understand, as the prophet Jeremiah declares in Jeremiah 33:3: "Call out to me, and I will answer you, and I will show you great and amazing things that you do not understand." What a powerful verse.

It does start with the biblical calendar. Jeremiah knew that. Isaiah knew that. Moses knew that. Paul knew that. The disciples knew that. We must have the knowledge, the intimacy, and the wisdom of these things in order to understand what time it is, and also to worship him in the pure way that he desires. It is an amazing opportunity to step into these pure ways. Even if you have never heard any of this before, that is perfectly all right. I am going to do my best to explain these things to you. This is an opportunity for freedom in worship — it will set you free, just as the truth sets you free.

Going through the divine appointments of the Lord is probably my favorite subject to teach. It will change your life forever — it will never be the same. We go through the new moon celebration and how important it is to be in alignment with him, in rhythm with him. We have to be in rhythm with him, to move and groove with him on his calendar, on his days. When we are in that alignment, we understand the times and the seasons, which is so critically important.

Tonight we will walk through the knowledge, the education, the wisdom, and the understanding of these things first — and then I want us to challenge ourselves. Where do we want to be this time next year? Because the times are getting near. As we can see, things are ramping up worse and worse, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. We have to understand that it is the appointed time, and it is extremely important to be with him on his divine appointments — first for personal intimacy, but also because he is going to fulfill these events. It is twofold: we get to worship him on these divine appointments until he comes back to fulfill the remaining feast days that he has not yet fulfilled. That is an amazing understanding.

If we have this knowledge, this wisdom and understanding going forward, the Bible is going to read very smoothly. No replacement calendar, no Gregorian calendar, no Islamic calendar, no Chinese calendar — only his calendar, only through his feast days. If we understand the everlasting covenants, the Bible is going to read very smoothly, and we are going to understand the plan of salvation. He is going to fulfill the everlasting covenants on his calendar, through his divine appointments — it is critically important to realize that as we move forward.

Now, I know most of you already on this channel understand these things. With all due love and respect, this particular video is really for those who may not yet understand — those who want to go deeper with the Lord and worship him the right way. We are trying to be fishermen, to net in those who want to come and worship him in the right way, because it will change their lives forever if they begin this process. It does not matter if you do not have all the knowledge right now. Just start with the Sabbath. Start with the feast days and go forward. Every year, more revelation will come. People who have been on the channel for two or three years are far more familiar with these things than when they started. You just have to get on it and begin, because there is a lot of knowledge and a lot of wisdom — but we take it one bite at a time.

If you are just discovering this, do not let the information overwhelm you. Just start the process by getting onto the Sabbath first — the right Sabbath, which runs from Friday night to Saturday night. Then get onto the rest of the divine appointments as they come throughout the calendar year.

We are about to start a new year, exactly one week from today — Saturday night. That gives us a full seven days to really understand what the Spirit is trying to say to each and every one of us: what the times we are living in mean, and what he is going to show us in this coming year. We are seeing blood moons and solar eclipses, and without understanding God's calendar, those signs do not carry the weight they were meant to carry. You must understand the biblical calendar for these things to make sense. We are going to go through the calendar and the divine appointments tonight in summary form. This will not be a long video, and we will make sure you have all the information you need to begin worshiping on his divine appointments.

We begin right at the beginning of the Bible, in Genesis chapter 1. If you are new to this, that is all right — take it from here and understand that God does have a calendar he is using right now, today, to communicate with the Jewish people and with all who observe correctly. He also has specific days he wants us to be associated with him, days he has organized — not what mankind has invented.

In Genesis 1:1–4 we read: "In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was hovering over the face of the waters. Then Elohim said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. And Elohim saw that the light was good. And Elohim divided the light from the darkness." Right in the very beginning — the light of the world.

Then in verse 14: "Then Elohim said, 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years. Let them be lights to give light on the earth.' And it was so. Then Elohim made two great lights — the greater light to rule the day, which is the sun, and the lesser light to rule the night, which is the moon. He made the stars also. Elohim set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness — just as he said in verse three. And Elohim saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day."

It is critically important to understand how the Almighty looks at the days. It starts in the evening and moves through the day — night comes first, then the day that follows. This is why, right now in Eastern Standard Time, it is already the first day of the week. The new day has already begun. That is why the Sabbath runs from Friday night to Saturday night.

Look again at verse 14. He created the heavenly lights to divide day from night, and he says they are to be for signs and seasons. What are we talking about with signs? We are talking about lunar eclipses and solar eclipses that fall on the important days of the biblical calendar. That is what Genesis 1:14 means by "signs." And then it says "signs and seasons" — whenever we read that in English, as Americans or Europeans, we naturally think of winter, spring, summer, and fall. But that is not what the Hebrew is communicating. The word for "seasons" here is the Hebrew word *moedim*, which means appointed times or divine appointments. So from the very first chapter of the Bible, God is telling us that he created the sun and the moon to mark out his appointed times.
