Biblical Examples of Courts of Heaven Verdicts

A couple of great examples: I went through some of these last night with examples from the Bible, but we will go through them. It is all over the place. We all know the story of Moses, up on the mountain for forty days and forty nights, interceding for Israel after the golden calf incident. Let me pull up a graph to show you this from a calendar standpoint.

From a calendar standpoint, what Moses did was at Shavuot in Exodus 12. They said, "We will do everything you have commanded." Then they received the Torah. He went up for forty days and forty nights from Shavuot to Tammuz 17th. That is when they made the golden calf on Tammuz 17th. Then he went back up to intercede for them for the next forty days from Tammuz 18th to Av 30th. He came back down, and there was no reassurance. Then he went back up again for the last set of forty days on Elul 1st and came back on Tishrei 10th, the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. So, even from a Moses template standpoint, you can find this in Numbers 9, those three sets of forty days he was up. The last set of forty days was the month of repentance, Elul, all the way through the first ten days of Tishrei.

Right now, in history, Moses was interceding for Israel on the Feast of Trumpets during these ten days, and then Israel received the righteous verdict, and everything was forgiven and atoned for. That is what Moses told them: "I will make atonement for you." That is what the scriptures say. Exodus 32 through Exodus 34 will give you a great understanding of that. So, he was up on the mountain for forty days and forty nights. The last forty days were during this season we are in right now, and they received the righteous verdict because of Moses' intercession.

So, yes, this is for all of us to petition our cases. But if you have family members, friends, or a nation, America, Israel, whatever nation you are from, this is a very important time to intercede for everything that Yahweh puts on your mind.

We also know the story of Jonah. Jonah the prophet went into Nineveh and told them, "Forty days, and you will be destroyed. You will be judged tremendously." Well, the Assyrians repented. They repented and turned back to God, and they were given a righteous verdict. He did not destroy them at that point. So, again, they received a righteous verdict because they were fasting, praying, repenting, breaking off their sins, giving charity, tithing, and doing all of these things, just as Moses received a righteous verdict for Israel at this time.

We all know the story of Yeshua's forty days and forty nights of testing. In the New Testament, that was during this time as well. And what happened after forty days? It was on Yom Kippur. Then He began His ministry. It is quite beautiful, those forty days.

A couple of other very clear examples in the Bible that we can go through are these: We all know the story of Joseph in Genesis 41. What does it say? It says, "At the end of two full years." What does that mean? Joseph was not on the biblical calendar. Moses was not born yet. He was on the civil calendar, where the Feast of Trumpets begins the calendar year, the civil year. That was the calendar the entire world was on because Moses had not yet been born to tell them to observe it in a different order. So, again, what does Genesis 41 say? "At the end of two full years," on the Feast of Trumpets, Joseph was released and exalted to governor, second in command of Egypt. It was also at the beginning of the Sabbatical cycle, seven good years, seven bad years. It is quite remarkable what happened with Joseph. So, again, another understanding that these are very important times. The Feast of Trumpets, the ten days, and Yom Kippur are very important for us to understand biblically speaking regarding righteous verdicts.

Let's look at King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in Daniel 4. Some of us know the story. If you do not, Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar to break off his sins and give to charity. I laugh because most people who would have done that would have been executed by Nebuchadnezzar. But Nebuchadnezzar loved Daniel, and Daniel loved Nebuchadnezzar to tell him that and say, "You need to break off your sins, Nebuchadnezzar, or you will be judged. Give charity to the poor." Nebuchadnezzar did not listen. Twelve months is what it says in Daniel 4. At the end of twelve months, and if we understand how verdicts are given, that was not from Nisan 1 to Nisan 1 because the calendar was instituted then by Moses. It was about judgment, about verdicts. So, we must understand how the calendars work with the Feast of Trumpets.

So, what happened at the end of twelve months? Nebuchadnezzar was on his balcony bragging, boasting, kind of like our leaders are today, bragging, pompous, arrogant, narcissistic. And what did it say? He was judged. The angel said, "Nebuchadnezzar, your kingdom has been judged. You are out." And he was cast out on the Feast of Trumpets for seven years, on the Sabbatical cycle, everybody. So, again, that is another great example.

We will keep going in the book of Daniel. Daniel 5, we are all familiar with Daniel 5 and the handwriting on the wall. What did the handwriting on the wall say? "Mene, mene, tekel, parsin." Or, I'm sorry, "Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin." Please excuse me. And what does that mean? "Your kingdom has been weighed in the balance. Belshazzar, you are out." And that night, the Medo-Persian Empire took over and killed Belshazzar. On the Feast of Trumpets, the verdicts are given, and Belshazzar received the judgment. He and the Babylonian Empire. And then let's look at the positive side of it. Babylon fell on the Feast of Trumpets. Medo-Persia rose on the Feast of Trumpets. They received the good verdict. Their empire became the dominant empire of the Middle East. So, again, all throughout the scriptures, we see this, my friends, with the righteous verdicts given on the Feast of Trumpets. You have a ten-day window to intercede, to pray for righteous verdicts, and it is sealed on the Feast of Yom Kippur for the year until the following year. So, that is how I have come to know it works, both for my own personal life and for people I know. It is very important to pray into these things during this time. And again, God will take you on a beautiful, beautiful journey by knowing this because you have the education to understand how the courts work in heaven, and they work on the Feast of Trumpets.

Let's go to Yeshua's second coming events. We went through this last night. His second coming events: Yeshua Himself received the righteous verdict. Daniel 7 says that the verdict was given for the Most High to give to the saints. The Most High gave the verdict. Yeshua came, according to Daniel 7, to restore the kingdom back to Israel. So, Israel will receive the righteous verdict at the second coming when He returns, when the Father gives Yeshua the decree, as mentioned in Daniel 7, to come and redeem them and restore the kingdom back to Israel, then, not now, then. So, we must truly understand that.

In Acts 1:6-7, He says, "I am going to..." Basically, the disciples asked Him, "When will you, Yeshua, restore the kingdom back to Israel?" So, again, He is the only one who will restore our brothers and sisters over there, the remnant, back to the kingdom of Israel. That means the conquering of the promised land. All of these things will be on the Feast of Trumpets. Psalm 2 aligns perfectly with that. The decree, the verdict is made. So, Daniel 2, excuse me, Daniel 7 and Psalm 2 go together because Yeshua will receive the righteous verdict on the Feast of Trumpets, the shofar blast, and He will come to redeem all the remnant of the Gentiles and all the remnant of the Jewish people, and we will be one new body, one new man, in the millennial kingdom. Praise the Lord.

So, all throughout the scriptures, my friends, we see these things regarding the verdicts. Very important. The verdicts, whether people know about it or not, we are all being weighed right now in the balance. The nations are, and individuals are.
