Yah's Calender - The New Month (Moon) of Kislev 2025 (5786)

Shalom, everybody. My name is Chadwick Harvey, and you have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight on this special new moon of Kislev, which is the ninth month on the Hebrew calendar. We really appreciate everyone for celebrating it with us tonight, and we wish everybody a happy Rosh Chodesh, or new moon.

My friends, this has been a trajectory we've been on since the beginning of the biblical calendar. We'll go through it quickly — covering the trajectory we've been on — and then move forward into this beautiful month of Kislev, including all the anointings that come during this month: the Hebrew letter, the constellation, and the tribe, which are very important on a personal level to pray into for the personal anointings and the journey throughout these months. As we always say, the goal is to be in rhythm and alignment with Yahweh, with the seasons that He is in.

Before we begin the Kislev teaching, let's review the trajectory of the calendar, which most of us are already familiar with. We just came through the month of Tishrei. In previous videos, we discussed how important the seven-month process is — from the month of Nissan to the month of Tishrei — covering the spring feast days through the fall feast days and the spiritual purification journey that comes with that. Now we are leaving the eighth month, Heshvan, which has been a very powerful month for everyone. This is where the roots begin to form, where the watering of the seed, if you will, starts to happen, and it continues forward into the month of Kislev.

Kislev is a very transitional month. As we know, it runs between November and December on the Gregorian calendar. It is critically important to know the alignment and the rhythm we have with God's calendar, to be in alignment with Him. I can't overstate it enough. As most of you know from following this channel, if we are in alignment with Him and in rhythm with Him, He is going to reveal many beautiful things to us — not only personally, but also prophetically. That is why we look at the calendar, track with the calendar, and ride the rhythm of the calendar — so that we are in alignment with the Almighty God. He will show us amazing things, just as Jeremiah 33:3 says: "Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." I know most of you have experienced amazing things by being on the biblical calendar — anointings that have been opened up, spiritual gifts that have been anointed and activated as well. First comes intimacy and obedience, and after that comes the spiritual gifts and the trajectory of revelation.

Again, this is an amazing time to be alive — to be in alignment with Yahweh on His calendar. The first seven months, as we've discussed many times, constitute that deep purification journey: beginning with the spring feast days in Nissan — Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot — then the summer months of spiritual purification through the Counting of the Omer, the Three Weeks of Sorrow, the month of repentance in Elul, and then the culmination of the beautiful feast days in Tishrei, the seventh month.

After that, the month we are now leaving is the eighth month, Heshvan. This is a very important month. There are no fasting or feast days in Heshvan, making it a time to get quiet with the Lord. Many of us have done just that, entering into a rain season of intimacy with Him. Now we enter the month of Kislev, the ninth month on the biblical calendar. This is the month of illumination — the month to bring everything into the light. This is the light against the darkness, as we will go through together. It is a very transitional month as we move into the true winter months of Tevet and Shevat, and then close out with Adar before the new biblical year begins. You are now in this final quarter, leading into some very significant things in Adar and then into the month of Nissan.

Thank you all again for joining us. We've taken a few weeks off to enter the ark of God, so to speak — just as Noah entered the ark in Heshvan, we decided to rest as well. We hope you've also gotten some rest and renewal, a new wineskin, coming out of the feast days and moving forward. It's great to see everyone again. Happy new month to everybody. We wish you a happy new month of grace, mercy, provision, finances, blessing over your occupation — blessings in every area. This is a month where things move, where the good overcomes the evil, as we will go through with Hanukkah, which falls at the end of the month and into the first part of Tevet. We are entering these beautiful moments of the believers getting the victory in the month of Kislev, just as the Maccabees did against the pagans.

My friends, it all starts with being set apart. We're all familiar with this concept on the channel. There is only one way to be set apart in Yah, and that is to follow His ways — follow His calendar, His feast days, the Sabbath — and get into alignment and rhythm with Him, with the agriculture, and with all of the things He shows us. We must be in alignment with Him. We have a set-apart Elohim, a set-apart Yeshua, a set-apart Spirit, and a set-apart Torah for all of us to understand and live in His ways. It is a beautiful thing. And through that, we become the kingdom of priests and holy nation — the one new body and the one new man. As Paul said, we must come together united as one new body, one new man. That goes back to the Torah as well.

We find this foundational call in Exodus 19:6, right at Mount Sinai, just before Yahweh released His ways to Moses — the Ten Commandments appear in Exodus 20, and this passage comes directly before that. It reads: "And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." Throughout the Exodus journey, Yahweh was working to purify and refine His people. He tested them from the moment they left Egypt, and when they arrived at Mount Sinai, He declared that He wanted them to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.

It is important to remember that this was about the mixed multitude. It wasn't only Jewish people who crossed the Red Sea. There were Egyptians there; Pharaoh's daughter was there. There were both Jews and Gentiles — the one new body and the one new man should have crossed over together at that moment. People often forget it was a mixed multitude at Mount Sinai — Jew and Gentile together, learning the ways of Yahweh, all who loved Him. This is why identifying with being set apart begins with that story in Exodus, because that is where it started — at Mount Sinai, with God's ways, His instructions on how to be good believers, how to walk in obedience with Him. He gave everything to all the ancestors there, and that is why He told Moses He wanted them to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.

What is so significant is that in Exodus 19:9, Yahweh told Moses that He would cause the people to believe Moses forever. That is very important for my Christian friends to understand — He said, at Mount Sinai, that whoever loves Him, whoever loves Yeshua, will believe Moses forever. Even Yeshua confirmed this in the book of John, where He said, "If you will not believe Moses, you will not even believe one who is risen from the dead" — speaking of Himself. So Yeshua the Messiah Himself told us that we must believe Moses forever in order to be among the set-apart believers. By "set-apart believers," I mean those who follow His ways, walk in Him. I am not speaking here about how He judges with regard to salvation — what I am saying is that there is only one way to be set apart in Yahweh, and that is to follow His ways, His commandments, His feast days, the right Sabbath, and be in alignment with Him.

As Samuel said, obedience is better than sacrifice, and to heed the Lord is better than the fat of rams. He continues: rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry. This is crucial for both my Jewish friends and my Christian friends to understand. We must be set apart in Him, and from that place, everything flows — the rhythm, the routine, all of it flows naturally. It does begin with the biblical calendar, which is why it is mentioned in Genesis 1:14.

Moses puts it plainly in Exodus 19:6 — he wants us to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. We have to be holy. We have to be set apart in order to carry that priestly presence so that people can see it and recognize that they want what you have, because you are walking in God's ways, walking in His Sabbaths, His new moons, His feast days, and in morality as well. Exodus 19:6 sets the stage. You don't find this language anywhere before Exodus 19. He declared it at Mount Sinai for a reason, because right in the next chapter — Exodus 20 — He gave the Ten Words, the Ten Commandments, for all to understand. And Moses received the rest of the Torah when he ascended the mountain.

Moses confirmed this again in Deuteronomy 14:2, repeating the same call to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation — establishing it as a second witness. And then in the New Testament, the Apostle Peter echoes the exact same language in First Peter 2:9-10: "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy." Peter is drawing directly from what Moses said in Exodus 19:6 — that we are a royal priesthood and a holy nation — pointing us back to Mount Sinai, to the Torah, to the everlasting ways of God, which every prophet confirmed, including the Apostle Peter.
