Isaiah 30-31/Jeremiah 2/Hosea - Yah's Warning to Israel and America about Foreign Military Aid

We are entering into some very interesting times as we approach the Feast of Trumpets this Sunday night. I wanted to give this broadcast on the book we just released today, called *The Cross to the Crown: A Spiritual Purification Journey on God's Divine Appointments*. We are at the end of not only the civil year on God's calendar, but also the end of the seven-year cycle called the Shemitah. God operates on these cycles — every seven days, every seven years, and then the seventh Millennium, which is the Day of the Lord. We are entering into a very transitional time as believers, and I felt provoked by the Lord to write this book during the summer precisely because of that transition.

As we have discussed before on the new moon festivals and the Divine Appointments, God has two calendars. The calendar we are speaking of now is the fall calendar, which begins this Sunday night on Tishri One. That is when Adam opened his eyes and crowned God as King — the Feast of Trumpets, when creation was formed and mankind was made. Tonight at sundown marks the 25th of Elul, the day creation began. Day one of creation started at sundown, and day six — when Adam was formed — is the Feast of Trumpets. Be sure to thank the Creator of the world for creating it, and for creating you and me to live on it.

We have entered into some truly important times, and most of us can feel it as we journey toward the second coming of the Messiah. That is ultimately what we are all looking for — the Messiah to come and make right everything we see wrong in the world today.

The book is called *The Cross to the Crown: A Spiritual Purification Journey on God's Divine Appointments*. It is a year-long journey through God's calendar and His Divine Appointments. I know what it has done for me, my family, and friends who have been on this journey in previous years, which is why I felt led to write it. Some of the things we speak about in the book are not commonly taught in the body of Christ, and I want to bring them to light so we can all grow more intimate with the Lord. No matter where you are on your journey — at the lowest point, the highest, or somewhere in the middle — the information from the Holy Scriptures in this book will elevate you. I am going to be doing videos on every chapter, so there is a great deal of content coming. We will begin the devotional series right after the Feast of Trumpets.

It is so important right now to draw close to the Lord, to hear Him clearly, to know His time schedule, and to understand where we are on His timeline as we look toward the events of Yeshua's second coming. Too often, even as believers, we do things our own way rather than aligning with God's timing — His Divine Appointments, His Hebrew letters, His feast days, His calendar. All of these are instruments of purification and refinement. We want to repent, we want to be purified, so that our prayers will be answered on His timing. We do not want the Lord to be waiting on us.

When I was born again on November 2nd, 2014, the first thing He wanted me to do was take the focus off myself and put it on the Lord. What you see now, after eight years, is the fruit of that. I have not arrived — I am still going through a purification process, as we all are until we are fully glorified when we meet our Savior — but taking the focus off yourself and placing it on the Lord is a concept that changes everything.

Looking back, I can see what the Lord was doing. He wanted me to get on His calendar, onto His set-apart times, His Divine Appointments. Then that expanded into the new moon festivals, the Sabbath — the biblical Saturday Sabbath, not the Sunday Sabbath — the Courts of Heaven, the Hebrew letters, and other things that He kept adding over the years. It all culminated in this book. It is not about my journey; it is about what God wants us all to be a part of. He has set apart certain times, ordained for you and me to draw near to Him and be intimate with Him.

For those who have been with us through the new moon festivals and Divine Appointments, you understand what I mean when I say He wants you on His time schedule. In the Millennial Kingdom, when Jesus reigns for a thousand years, that is the time schedule we will be on. In eternity, that is also the time schedule — we will be celebrating the biblical Sabbath and the new moon festivals forever. So it is vital to understand these things now.

The book contains what I call prerequisites at the beginning — approximately twelve of them — which I believe form the foundation of much of what we encounter in the Holy Bible. These prerequisites cover the manner of worship the Lord has ordained in Scripture, and they go into eschatology, including the feast days. His second coming events will fall on the fall feast days we are about to enter into: the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of Tabernacles. These are deeply prophetic, and He commands us to be present with Him on these holy days.

If you are looking for purification, refinement, and cleansing, this is one way I have seen work in so many people's lives. We are going to pray into the Lord's Divine performance — His Sabbaths, His new moons, His letters, His tribes — and really purify ourselves through that, rather than staying focused inward on ourselves. I can only give you a personal testimony: once I took the focus off myself and put it on the Lord, the transformation began, and it has continued ever since.

The book is available as a free ebook. There is a link in the YouTube description you can click to download it from the website. You will need to fill out some basic information, but I do not see that information personally, I do not send mass emails, and I do not sell email addresses.
