Ezekiel's Mark and Feast Day Insights

Now, let us discover a few scriptures that highlight the letter Tav. In Ezekiel 9:4-6: "And the Lord said to him, 'Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark, a Tav, on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.' To the others, He said in my hearing, 'Go after him through the city and kill. Do not let your eyes spare, nor have pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women, but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark, and began at my sanctuary.' So they began with the elders who were before the temple." My friends, this is very important of what the prophet Ezekiel said. And look at the really hardcore saying that Yahweh did. There will be a time when this happens in the future as well. And look at what He says: "Go through the midst of the city, Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it." How many people are doing that right now in Jerusalem? Honestly speaking, how many Jews and Christians are doing that right now over the city right now with the abominations that we're seeing over there? Okay, so this is what Yahweh's going to be doing at the end of the age. He's going to do a separation. Okay, the mark of the beast or the seal of God. You know, we're going to have to choose one. We're going to have to choose the world, including the politics of the world, or do we want to stand up for the righteousness and the justice of Yahweh? And we want to stand up for the holy city and for the great King and the holy land. Okay, we're going to have to choose one or the other, because look at what He says: "Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it." To the others, He said, "In my hearing, go after them through the city and kill. Do not let your eyes spare, nor have pity. Utterly slay old and young, maidens, little children, women, but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark, the seal of God, and began at my sanctuary." It comes to the household of God first, everybody. So again, this is very hardcore, and this is why people don't really like to read the prophet Ezekiel or Jeremiah or Isaiah because of what they say. And my friends, this is the end of the age scripture, okay? The end of the age. It happened before, and it's going to happen again because look at all the abominations. It goes back into what Jeremiah says. Who's sighing right now over all of these things? Who's sighing over all these things in America, or in Israel, or in Europe, or in all these other areas? Because the whole world is out of alignment. But the whole world is not Jerusalem either, and the whole world is not Israel either. And Israel has a standard and values that they have to go by. And if they don't, it will not be good. And if they do, it will be great. But if they don't, it will be this. It will be this right here. To the household of God first, in the temple first, and outward. Jerusalem and outward. Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, kind of like the Great Commission was. Okay? So God's going to again deal with the household of God first, and then go out further to the nations first. Okay? And we are of the household of God, you know, across the world, but specifically His great city, the great King. The Jewish people need to wake up and realize what He's speaking of with Ezekiel chapter 9.

Let's go to Ephesians 1:13-14: "In him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. And also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, the Tav, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession is redeemed to the praise of His glory." My friends, we go through this on Yom Kippur every year, and we'll go through it again here very soon. It'll be here before you know it. Yom Kippur will be here. So, if you look at what Paul is writing in Ephesians 1, if we understand the feast days and the seasons that go into it, from Passover to Yom Kippur, he's speaking about individual salvation, Passover, sealed by the Holy Spirit, forgiveness of sins, covered with the blood of the Lamb. Amen. Until the purchased possession is redeemed. When is that? That is on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, to the praise of His glory, when He returns for the final victory. So, my friends, we have to read Paul through that angle. If people can't read Paul through that angle, there's really no reason to read Ephesians 1 other than to get a surface reading and, "Okay, great." But if we want to truly understand what the Messianic Rabbi Jew said, which is Paul, then we have to understand him from a Torah-based gospel, Torah, Prophets, Psalms. And then when you read Ephesians 1, you're going to understand the trajectory that Paul is thinking of. From the gospel of your salvation. When is that? Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavuot. And whom also having believed, you were sealed because of that with the Holy Spirit of promise. Passover. Who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession? All of us with Yeshua on Yom Kippur. Revelation 19:11-16. To the praise of His glory. If we understand Paul and that understanding, that scripture will make a lot better sense instead of just being surface readers. Okay, nothing wrong with being a surface reader to a certain extent. But if you really want the true trajectory of the entire Holy Bible, the calendar, the feast days, the covenants, and the table of nations, and enjoy it, it'll be very smooth and silky out there for anyone who wants to read it according to what God has said to read it by. If we read it the way we want to read it by and just open up the New Testament and try to plug in everything because we're so smart, then we're going to be deceived. Okay? So, we've got to go back and read the understanding of the nations, the table of contents, if you will, how to read the Holy Bible. And then when we read it, we're not going to be in replacement theology. We're not going to think that the church has replaced Israel because that would be calling God a liar. If He doesn't fulfill the Abrahamic covenant with the Jewish people, we wouldn't be out of alignment with the trajectory of Yeshua. We will be out of alignment with the rapture because the calendar and the feast days, it will obviously get someone the right understanding of that if they understand that. If they don't, then they don't. And that's why we have all these pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib, and thus-trib, you know. And again, how's that going? Everybody's confused because we don't know the calendar, the Shmita, the seven-year cycle, the feast days that go along with these things, and how Yeshua is going to fulfill those events instead of all of the man-made events of the pre-trib and all of these things that will leave people as a thief in the night.

2 Corinthians 1:22: "He who has also sealed us, Tav, and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee." Amen. Revelation 22:3-4: "And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there. They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light, and they shall reign forever and ever." One point I'd like to make before we move on is whenever we read that, please remember also in Revelation 21, as well, it says that as well. There's no need of the moon and the sun. There will be a sun and the moon. There just won't be a need for it because the Almighty Yah and Yeshua is the light of the world and of the New Jerusalem. However, there will be a sun and the moon because that would go against what Isaiah 66:22-24 said: "From one new moon to another, from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before Me," says Yah. So again, again, we've got to read very carefully. It says "no need." We don't need it because they are the light. But He will have His faithful witnesses in the sky, the sun and the moon, and they will just stay there. I think it'll be like, again, they'll just stay there. We don't need them. But again, that would counteract what Isaiah said: "From one new moon to another, one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship Him." So, we just have to read carefully. And John wrote it that way to let everybody know there will be a sun and the moon. We just don't need it in eternal life. Amen.
