Yah's Times & Seasons - The New Biblical Month (6th Month - Elul)

Shalom friends. My name is Chadwick Harvey. You have reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we welcome in the new month and proclaim the new month of the biblical calendar, which is the month of Elul. It is the sixth month of the biblical calendar. And what's so amazing about this month is that it culminates into the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah. So, this is a very important month as we culminate into the Feast of Trumpets, 30 days from now. And why that's important is because that's when the books are opened in the courts of heaven on the Feast of Trumpets for 10 days, and then they are sealed on Yom Kippur. We've gone through that on the videos before with Nebuchadnezzar, with Joseph, with Jonah, and how important that is with Messiah as well. And we're going to show you tonight how important this time period is, these next 30 days in this month, but then the extra 10 days as well from the Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur. So, this is a very important time for the believers. This is a month of good fortune as we set ourselves up for the righteous rendered verdicts on the Feast of Trumpets and on Yom Kippur, here 30 days and 40 days from now. So, thank you very much for being with us. We have a lot of great information for you that will prove the point of what I just said.

But my friends, if one is not familiar with the biblical calendar, I would like to go through that really quick on the trajectory that the Lord has on month number one through month number seven. These are very important months of a spiritual purification journey, if you will, and I'll try to explain that. So, when we look at the biblical calendar and you look at month number one, this is the beginning of the biblical calendar that God told Moses in Exodus 12 that this is your first month, and he spoke about Nisan 1. So, that date in Exodus 12:2 is Nisan 1 when he told Moses, "Look up, this is your first month," and it is the month of Nisan. Well, then we get into the Feast of Passover on Nisan 14, which is when the children of Israel left Egypt, but also the fulfillment of when Yeshua was crucified for all of our sins. Jesus was crucified for all of our sins on Passover. So, this is a very important thing as we go on the journey in month number one with the new moon, and then also the Feast of Passover, which is the crucifixion, and also they left Egypt. Unleavened Bread is when Yeshua was laid in the tomb. And then the Feast of Firstfruits, my friends, is when He was resurrected. And then we went on this Omer count. We go on it every year. It's called the counting of the Omer. I call it a 50-day divine appointment with the Most High because it's commanded in Leviticus 23 to count 50 days from the resurrection, the Feast of Firstfruits, to Shavuot, which you see on the calendar in month number three. This is a divine appointment every single day with our Father and with the King of Kings, Yeshua, and the blessed Holy Spirit. So, this is a trajectory that He wants us on every single year with the new moon, celebrate Passover, Yeshua, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, also we get into the counting of the Omer that goes into the Feast of Shavuot. So, the month of Iyar, month number two, is a divine appointment every single day. And that month is a very holy month because it has a divine appointment every single day commanded in Leviticus 23. And then after the Feast of Shavuot, which is when the Holy Spirit was given and also when the Torah was given, both happened on the same exact day because it had to. The Torah was given first, at Mount Sinai on Shavuot, in Exodus 20. And then we have in Acts 2, the Holy Spirit, the fulfillment on the Feast of Shavuot as well. So, that tells you how important this is for the believers in Jesus Yeshua to be on this calendar and to follow what He did for all of us at His first coming events and to worship Him on those ways.

So, after the Feast of Shavuot, we get into the month of Tammuz. The month of Tammuz is a judgment month, good or bad. In history, according to the scriptures, this was a bad month for the children of Israel with Nebuchadnezzar and the judgment because of the golden calf. On Tammuz 17th, they worshiped the golden calf at Mount Sinai, and then that became a fast day by Zechariah 8. So, Zechariah 8 will prove that that became a fast day because of the golden calf on Tammuz 17th. And then there's a three-week process from Tammuz 17th to the ninth day of Av, Tisha B'Av, what they call it in Hebrew. And that is called the Three Weeks of Dire Straits, three weeks of sorrow in the remembrance of why Yah judged the people with Tammuz 17th, the golden calf. And then also the ninth day of Av is when the spies brought back the bad report in Numbers 13 and 14. So, you see the trajectory here. We get cleansed, we get purified through Nisan, Iyar. And then on Tammuz, we get tested. Are we going to go back to our golden calf during the month of Tammuz and the month of Av? Are we going to bring back the good report or the bad report from the Lord? So, that's an introspection that we have at that time when we look deep inside ourselves to see why our temple could or could not be destroyed by our behavior, as we remember why the temples were destroyed on the same day, on the ninth day of Av. So, after the ninth day of Av, we have Tu B'Av, which is a day of love. You can think about it as Valentine's Day, but a holy day with the Lord, a beautiful love day that the Lord has instituted on the 15th. And then after the 15th, we get to the month of Elul, which is where we are tonight, at sundown, wherever you may be. So, the month of Elul is the month of repentance. So, this is really an interesting trajectory that the Lord has us on from the month of Nisan with the feast days, the holiness, the cleansing, the sanctification, believers in Yeshua, onto Shavuot in the remembrance of the Torah being given and also the blessed Holy Spirit being poured out in Acts 2. Then we get tested, if you will, because they built the golden calf 40 days after Shavuot. So, it didn't take long for them to go back to Egypt. And He's wanting to test all of us to see if we're going to go back to our Egypt as well, after we've been cleansed, after we've gone through the holy days, etc. The Tammuz and Av are very testing months, if you will. And then the month of Elul is the month of repentance, which is pretty interesting because, as you can see, we get into Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, in the first of Tishrei. So, this is really amazing how Yah put His calendar in order based on these things that we just spoke about. Because Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, is the beginning of the civil calendar that Adam was on. So, Adam was born on the Feast of Trumpets. Very important to understand that. That's why again, Yeshua is returning on the Feast of Trumpets because Adam was born on the Feast of Trumpets, and you've got those calculations of 6,000 years from Adam to Yeshua's second coming events. So, that's prophetically speaking, that's how important this month is. If we look at the month of Elul, that will be the last month before Yeshua returns for second coming events. So, that's why it's called the month of repentance. It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

So, again, if our Christian friends would have this theology in their theology about the calendar, then they would understand the times and the seasons of the Most High, which Paul really warns us about to have. We've got to know the times and the seasons, or we would be caught as a thief in the night. So, when we look at the calendar, I hope it makes sense of the trajectory, but we're in the month of Elul now, the month of repentance, as we get to when the books are opened for the individuals, also the nations. And it's a very beautiful time, my friends, from this point to through the feast days, as you guys know. But my friends, it all again starts out, let me get to the next slide, I'm sorry. But it all starts out as we all know about being set apart. You know, we've got to be set apart in these things. If we don't understand the times, if we don't understand the seasons, we're going to read what Paul says and we could be caught as a thief in the night. But for not knowing the times and the seasons of the Most High when Yeshua will return. But my friends, it does start out by being set apart. We have to be set apart in the Most High. You know, it's amazing when you start to really meditate on being set apart. What does that truly mean to be set apart? Well, it means, I guess, what it says, to be set apart from the world into Yeshua, into the scriptures, into God's commandments. Because it's loving Yeshua and following the commandments, as it says throughout the Holy Bible. So, this is an amazing thing for the believer to understand the concept of being set apart. Because I can say I'm set apart, but if I'm not set apart in God's word and the calendar and the feast days and all of these things, am I really set apart? So, again, we've got to be set apart. And we've got to really travail through that to understand the meaning of being set apart. Because again, I can say I'm set apart to what I want to be set apart about, but am I truly set apart according to the Holy Bible? According to what Yah has commanded, not what I want to do, not what the church wants to do, not what the synagogue wants to do. Do we want to be set apart in Him, or do we want to be set apart in the world, in the church, and the synagogues, and all these things? We don't. We want to be set apart in the word of Elohim and follow Him in spirit and in truth. And unfortunately today, there's not one religion that does that. Judaism doesn't do that. Christianity doesn't do that. Of course, Islam doesn't do that. Whatever else doesn't do that. So, again, even Judaism and Christianity, I can make the case that again, they have a lot of things that they're not set apart in because they're not following the word of God from Genesis to Revelation. You know, there's not one religion that does that. Isn't that amazing? There's not one religion that follows Genesis to Revelation. Judaism doesn't believe in the New Testament or Yeshua. Christianity doesn't believe in the commandments in the Torah, or doesn't follow them one. Either one is not good. So, again, my friends, it's just honestly speaking, we've got to be set apart in what He wants us to be set apart from. And it does mean what it means is to be set apart from the world. And if a church or synagogue is not following Genesis to Revelation, then we've got to be set apart from them as well. Because they would be a little leaven, leaven the entire lump. As the Apostle Paul says to the Christians, "A little leaven will leaven the entire lump." So, we have to be set apart in Him and exactly follow Him. Like Yeshua says, "Pick up our cross and follow Him." Well, what did Yeshua do? Well, He celebrated the Sabbath. He celebrated the new moon. He celebrated Hanukkah. He celebrated the feast days. So, we've got to pick up our cross and follow our Master, and not get caught up in all of this division that unfortunately Judaism and Christianity wants to do to both parties. So, we've got to follow Him, and that's it. And my friends, it all starts with being set apart.

The first time that we see being set apart, the concept of this, is in Exodus 19:6. This is a very powerful understanding to go back to Exodus. Go back to Exodus 19. This is a very pivotal chapter in the Holy Bible with the one new body, the one new man, when both Israel and the Gentiles, the Egyptians, and whoever else was at Mount Sinai, the mixed multitude was at Mount Sinai. People forget that it wasn't just the Jewish people or the Israelites. It was also the Egyptians. Even Pharaoh's daughter, the one that raised Moses in the palace of Egypt, she crossed over with him. You can find that in 1 Chronicles 4. So, it wasn't just the Israelites that was there. It was the mixed multitude there. This is when the new one new body and the one new man should have begun with the believing Jews and the believing Gentiles. It's really beautiful. We know what happened after that in history. But my friends, at Mount Sinai, in Exodus 19:6, this is the first time that we see this understanding. And it says, "And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." So, my friends, again, He said that the first time at Mount Sinai. He didn't say that with Abraham in the promised land. He didn't say that with anybody else. He said it with Moses at Mount Sinai, right before He gave the Torah to them, the ways of Yah. He told them that He wants them to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. And that does depend on the Torah, that depends on the words out of God's mouth on Mount Sinai to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. And that's very important to realize. In verse number nine in Exodus 19, He said that He's going to make the believers believe Moses forever. He said, "I'm going to make the people believe you forever, Moses, whoever loves Me." So, again, whoever loves Yahweh is going to, and Yeshua, is going to love Moses forever. Not till the first coming, not till the second coming. He said forever in Exodus 19:9 to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, and that depends only on the Torah, and Yeshua as well, of course. In Deuteronomy 14:2, when He was summarizing everything that He told the people for 40 years, this is what Moses told them in Deuteronomy 14:2: "For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth." What does that have to do with? Well, it has to do with being set apart. It has to do with following the ways of Yahweh. To be set apart in Him, we can't be set apart and go follow the world and the things of the world and the paganism of the world. That's not being set apart. That's being a part of the world. So, we've got to be set apart out of the world and follow His ways. Whether one is a Jew or whether one is a Gentile or whether one loves Yeshua, you've got to follow the Father. You've got to follow the Father's commandments. 1 Peter 2:7-10, if you want to read that for yourself, Peter says the same thing in the New Testament: "For you are a holy people." Who was not a holy people? The Lord has chosen you a special treasure above all the people. So, Peter confirms that in 1 Peter 2:7-10 in the New Testament. Let's go to the Apostle John. Let's look at what Yeshua told John to write in the book of Revelation, the Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah. And look how consistent this is from Exodus, Deuteronomy, Peter, to Revelation, Old Testament, New Testament, if you want to call them that. Revelation 1:6: "To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, Yeshua, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." So, my friends, again, my Jewish friends and my Christian friends, it's time to wake up to understand that Yeshua says this, and John wrote it, "To Him who loved us and washed us in His blood, our sins in His own blood, Yeshua, and has made us what?" Exodus 19:6, Deuteronomy 14:2, 1 Peter 2:7-10. He's made us kings and priests. We cannot be kings and priests without Yeshua and following the commandments. There's no way. It says it right here in all of these scriptures from Exodus to Revelation. Only things missing is Genesis, right? So, Exodus to Revelation, He tells you four times to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. And the way we do that is to believe in Yeshua and follow His Father's commandments. Just like He says, "To look to Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood and has made us kings and priests." Exodus 19:6. "To His God and Father. To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Amen. And amen."

So, my friends, as you can see, this is very important to realize. All through the scriptures are very consistent. And I tell people that it's the same. It's very consistent. We have a consistent God, not a schizophrenic God. We have a consistent God. And He wants us to be kingdom priests and a holy nation. How do we do that? Yeshua, the Messiah, blessed Holy Spirit, and follow the Spirit of Truth into the truth of Yah. It's very important as we continue forward. Now, who makes us holy? This is very important because of pride and egos and things like that. But who sets us apart and makes us holy? Does God set us apart, or do we set ourselves apart? In Psalm 4:3, it says, "But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself." So, the Lord is the one who sets apart the godly for Himself, the kingdom of priests and the holy nation. In Leviticus 20:7-8: "Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God. Keep My statutes and do them. I am the Lord who sanctifies you." So, again, who sanctifies us? Obviously, Yahweh sanctifies us through the blessed Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, to convict us, to lead us to the Torah, the ways of God, to be in obedience to Him so that we are set apart in Him. Right? So, consecrate yourselves, everybody, myself included, therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God. Amen. Keep My statutes and do them. I am the Lord who sanctifies all of us. In Leviticus, the Lord says, "I am holy and have separated you from the peoples that you should be Mine." So, again, He wants to separate us. It's going to be a lonely journey out there. It's going to be a lonely journey with all the lonely believers all together. It's not going to be the world. It's not going to be the mega churches. It's not going to be the mega synagogues. It's going to be the holy ones that He has set apart for Himself. Just like He says in Psalm 4:3 and Leviticus chapter 20. Super important to realize. I mean, I can set apart myself to anything that I want to and say, "Oh, I'm set apart." You know, but am I really set apart? I'm set apart by understanding where my life is comparable to the holy scriptures and the commandments. I'm either holy or I'm not. Right? I'm either hot or I'm cold. I'm either good or I'm evil. Right? That's throughout the Holy Bible. I'm wise or I'm foolish. That's the difference. There's no lukewarm. There's no one foot in, one foot out, and I do the hokey-pokey. None of that. It's either hot or cold. Yeshua says it in Matthew 25. Good or evil, wise or foolish, hot or cold, and I'll spit you out of My mouth, being lukewarm. Right? So, again, we all know what Yeshua says with this. So, I'm not sure why our Jewish friends and our Christian friends are not really understanding that it's got to be, we've got to be set apart. We've got to do a better job, including myself, being set apart from this world that will suck you in. And before you know it, you will be not set apart, or I will be not set apart either, if we get tangled up in the world and the mega churches and all of these things.

Let me go to this slide right here. Excuse me. Well, if there we go. So, this is we looked at the calendar earlier, my friends, but we'll go through this in Genesis 1:14-18. This is super important. If one doesn't understand this, I know most of you do understand this, but if someone doesn't, then I want to be very thorough with this. So, Genesis 1:14 through 18 is that marker for that. There's a reason why God wrote this in verse 14 of chapter one of the Holy Bible for all of us to understand His time and His seasons. Not man, not the Gregorian calendar, not the Roman calendar, not anything that the Christians are doing right now with a different calendar. So, Genesis 1:14 through 18, it says this: "Then God 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 for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth.' And it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God 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.' Very interesting. And God saw that it was good. So, the evening and the morning were the fourth day." So, my friends, this is again, most of you guys understand this. We've gone through this a lot. Every new moon, we go through it for a reason, for people who don't know these things to be a part of these things. But my friends, in Genesis 1, the very first chapter of the entire Bible, in verse 14, day number four of creation, creative works, by the way, by the Most High, the number four, He created times and seasons for us to understand. And if we don't understand these times and seasons, Paul's going to really warn us about that, as we will read here momentarily. But in Genesis 1:14, He created the sun and the moon for His time and His seasons. How does that work? The sun goes up and down every single day to count the days. And then the moon goes through the cycle phases of the moon every single month. So, again, if one did not have technology or whatever may be, then one would understand what time it is because all you have to do is do what the ancients did. The ancients did not have this right here. Daniel did not have this. And Daniel knew how to read the signs. Moses, Enoch, they understood what time it was because they could read the heavens. Again, it's called biblical astronomy, not personal astrology. Pagan astrology is astronomy. So, there are awesome ways to understand biblical astronomy without getting into pagan astrology, right? As long as we focus on God with these things, then it's great. If we start reading tarot cards and horoscopes and crystal balls and all this stuff, then of course that's witchcraft. But in Genesis 1:14, God created the sun and the moon for times and seasons, everybody. That's what He says. Signs and seasons. What are signs? Well, they're the lunar eclipses, the solar eclipses. We went through those here Wednesday night. Very important to understand. Signals, blood moons, solar eclipses, what Yeshua said, what Joel the prophet said as well. For signs. And then for seasons, is what He says. Well, what seasons? That's really a terrible translation in the English language with "seasons" because we think of seasons as winter, spring, summer, and fall. But it's not talking about seasons. It's not talking about any of that. It's talking about the divine appointments of Yeshua. What are those? Well, the divine appointments of Yeshua are the feast days in Leviticus 23: Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles. We're going to get into Trumpets and Atonement tonight with Elul, the month of Elul. So, again, my friends, this is what He's speaking of. These are the only ways to worship in the Holy Bible. Don't forget the Sabbath as the first feast day in Leviticus 23, but these are the only days in the Holy Bible for Jews and Gentiles to worship. Why? Because that's what Yeshua is going to fulfill. These are the greatest prophecies in the Holy Bible for Yeshua. Revelation 19:10 says, "The spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Yeshua." Think about that. The testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy. There's no greater prophecies than these right here. Why is that? First coming events, spring. Second coming events, the fall. Crucified, Passover; tomb, Unleavened Bread; rose on Firstfruits; 50 days later, poured out His Holy Spirit on Acts 2. In the fall, He's going to return on the Feast of Trumpets, 10-day war, He's going to redeem Israel and all of us on the Feast of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, five days later, He's going to set up the millennial kingdom for a thousand years on the Feast of Tabernacles. If we don't understand those times and seasons, my Christian friends, Paul's going to tell you what's going to happen, as a thief in the night. Paul will tell you that himself, not me. He does. And we've got to understand these things. So, those are the seasons, my friends, in Genesis 1:14. That's it. The time and the seasons. That's it. That's what Paul would be speaking of. And we will be reading Paul here momentarily.

So, again, signs and seasons, blood moons, solar eclipses, the feast days in Leviticus 23 that Yeshua is going to fulfill for His divine appointments. Because you know what's so cool about this? In the Hebrew, the word for seasons is "Moed," and that means a divine appointment, everybody, for Yeshua. God has set up this calendar and the feast days for Jesus to fulfill. That's how important this is. So, again, we've got to understand these things from a Hebrew understanding, or God's standpoint, that He gave to the Hebrews, or gave to the Jewish people. So, again, signs, blood moon, solar eclipses, seasons, the feast days in Leviticus 23, the divine appointment. What's so cool about it is when you go to Leviticus 23, the word for feast is the same word as seasons in Genesis 1:14, which is divine appointment. So, Yahweh is connecting His feast days, divine appointments, to the calendar. And that's why you see these feast days on this calendar and not the Gregorian calendar. So, again, we've just got to understand this, my friends. We've been taught wrong about the times and the seasons. I was, you were, everyone is. That's just they don't have it in the theology. I'm not trying to be banging on the church, but it's just they don't have it in their theology. So, how could they? They don't believe in it. How could they? So, we've got to educate our friends to understand this. The Jewish people understand this because that's what they're brought up on, is the calendar. But the Gentiles or the Christians are not. And we've got to educate our brothers to understand they're out of alignment and they need to get in alignment, or it's not going to be good at the end of the age. They're going to be caught as a thief in the night, like Paul says, and it's not going to be good standing before the King of Israel, worshiping Him in a different way than what He has ordained. So, this is super important as we talk about all the time, biblical prophecy begins and ends with the biblical calendar. That's it. If we understand the calendar, we understand the feast days, then we're going to have a great understanding of what Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Moses, Yeshua, all of them are talking about. If we do not, then we're going to be out of alignment because we're going to think they're talking about the Gregorian calendar, which is just erroneous, to be nice about it. So, again, this is super important. These are divine appointments for the one that we love, Yeshua, Jesus. We love Him, and if we love Him, we're going to keep His commandments, just like He says in John 14:15. And then the reward is, we get to understand the prophetic understanding of these things because we're worshiping on the right understanding of the days. And then we get the prophetic understanding of these things. Just like I told you, He's going to return on the Feast of Trumpets. He's going to have a 10-day war. He's going to redeem the children of Israel, the remnant, and all of us on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. And then five days later, He's going to judge the nations on the Mount of Olives. And then this Feast of Tabernacles, He's going to set up the millennial kingdom for a thousand years. After that thousand years, we're going to inherit the New Jerusalem. So, if we don't know these things, my friends, we're not going to be in the expectation of these things. We've got a lot of great things ahead of us, a lot of great moments with Yeshua coming down in Revelation 19 for the final victory. When will that be? On the Feast of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. When we come down in Revelation 19. But if we don't know that, if we don't know the symbolism of being white, what that means on the Day of Atonement, then we're just not going to be educated enough to go through the end of the age. We're just not. And people are going to fall away. They're not going to understand what's going down. And then bad things are going to happen. So, we've got to really get into these things of the Torah to understand that God has given us all of these beautiful things to understand as Christian believers who love Yeshua. We've got to understand this. It's not just for the Jewish people. It's for all of God's people who love Yeshua as well. And that's very important.

When we look at the days and the years, it said, "Let them be for signs and seasons, and days and years." What days is He talking about? Well, we just talked about them. These are the days. That's it. And Sabbath and the new moon. But His days in the Bible, Purim, Hanukkah, these days, especially the feast days, is what He's speaking of. But don't forget these other ones, and Sabbath and all of these things. That's what He's talking about. He's not talking about any day on the Gregorian calendar that the Christians think of, Sunday, Christmas, Easter, none of that. I mean, that's all paganism. So, why would He put that in the Holy Bible? Our God is holy. He's righteous. He's divine. He's sovereign. Why would He put paganism in the Bible? He did not. So, let's not put that in there either. And then when we get to the years, this is for signs and seasons, days and years. The years are very important because it's not talking about any year that we think of. It's talking about the Shmita year and the Jubilee year, Leviticus 25. We've got to get biblical. It's talking about those days and those years in Leviticus 25. So, what is the Shmita year? The Shmita year is the seventh year of the seven-year cycle of the Shmita. The Shmita is a seven-year cycle in Leviticus 25. Very important to understand. We'll be doing more videos on the Shmita cycle because I think it's that important. But again, go back last year for the Feast of Trumpets. And if you remember, there was I mean, a ton... excuse me, excuse me, everybody. Excuse me, everybody. Sorry about that. I guess I breathed it went down the wrong windpipe, as they say. So, sorry about that, everybody. Happy New Moon. Right. But anyhow, friends, we've got to understand the Shmita cycle. If you remember last year, when there were believers who were calling for the rapture to occur, the pre-trip rapture people calling for the rapture to occur, if they would have understood the Shmita cycle, they would not have been calling for the rapture last year, right? What do I mean by that? Well, the Shmita cycle, or the seven-year biblical cycle, is from, it's a seven-year cycle, and it's basically from 2022 to 2029, right now, and then it'll be from 2029 to 2036, then 2036 to 2043, then the 50 or whatever. So, again, if they would have understood the rhythm of the Shmita cycle, the seven-year cycle, they would have understood that we were in the third year last year. Now we're going to the fourth year. So, we've got to really understand that. I'm sorry, the fifth year. Last year was the fourth year. This is the fifth year. So, if they would have understood that, they wouldn't have been calling for the pre-trip rapture last year because they would have understood that it wouldn't have occurred because we're in the middle of the Shmita cycle, basically last year at that time. So, that's what I'm talking about. If we don't have the education, my friends, to decipher what some people are saying out there, then we're going to be caught up in it as well. If we understand the calendar, you will not be caught up in all of these things because you'll know the signs, blood moon, solar eclipses. You'll understand the seasons, which is again, the fall feast, the feast days in Leviticus 23. And then you will understand the days, which is the feast days, and then the years. You'll understand the Shmita year. If you understand Leviticus 23, Leviticus 25 is what I'm talking about. If you understand that, then you're not going to be falling for all these things that other people are. I mean, man, people were giving away their money, giving away their retirement, giving away their homes, giving away their cars. I mean, I wish I would have known that. I would have had a few cars. I'd had some more money. I'm just kidding. But anyhow, it's just we've got, we will look, we will all look foolish if we don't understand. I will look foolish, you will, they will, whoever will, if we're not educated on Genesis 1:14. This is the most pivotal, foundational principle in the Holy Bible. That's why it's number one. This one, calendar, feast days, covenants, Abrahamic, Davidic, New Covenant, table of nations for the prophecies. If we understand those four major foundational principles to read the Holy Bible, in worship and also in prophecy with the table of nations and the calendar of the feast days and the covenants, then you're going to understand these things, my friends. I mean, He has given us these prerequisites to read the Holy Bible. And if we don't, then we're going to be off. I was off for a long time. And I'm not saying I'm totally right now. I'm just saying if we don't, we'll have a better understanding of these things if we understand the calendar, the feast days, the covenants, and also the table of nations if one's interested in biblical prophecy because that's very important as we talk about.

So, friends, we go through this a lot, but I think it's that important to go through because everything that we speak about on the channel always goes back to the calendar. It ends and begins biblical prophecy. Please, please understand that. So, again, Genesis 1:14-18, there are four major points in it, or really more than that. But He created the sun and the moon for signs, lunar eclipses, solar eclipses on the feast days and all of these important days for seasons, which is Leviticus 23, the feast days of the Lord, which is divine appointments. And then He created them for days and years, the Shmita year is very important to understand in the Shmita cycle as well.

Okay. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, it says, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." What did we just understand? The word for season is "Moed," which means a divine appointment. So, to everything there's a divine appointment and a time for every purpose under heaven. And this is where we get the new moon understanding as well. Exodus 12:1-2: "Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 'This month shall be your beginning of months. Nisan, it shall be the first month to you. Speak to all of the what? The children of Israel? No, speak to the congregation of Israel.' That's a very important word there that people tend to gloss over. It just didn't say to the children of Israel, which it says a lot in the book of Exodus. It said to the congregation of Israel. Why is that? Well, Moses' mother, Pharaoh's daughter, the Egyptians who fled with Israel, it was for them as well, the congregation. They weren't children of Jacob. But He wanted them to be, if you will, grafted in, or the one new body, one new man at that time. The congregation of Israel is what He told Moses for us to understand this. Jews and Gentiles to understand it. Congregation of Israel, not just the children of Israel.

Psalm 81. Let me go to a different slide here. Psalm 81, verse 3-4. This is a confirmation of what Yahweh told Moses in Exodus 12:2. Remember, you have to have two or three witnesses to establish a matter. Not that Moses needs any kind of confirmation, but we'll give Psalm 81:3-4 and look at what the Psalmist says: "Blow the trumpet at the time of the new moon, at the full moon on our solemn feast day. This is a statute for Israel, a law of the God of Jacob." Okay, we go through this on every new moon. This is very powerful. Blow the trumpet at the new moon and at the full moon on a solemn feast day. What does that mean? On a solemn feast day, the full moon would be on Passover because it's on a full moon, and Tabernacles because it's on a full moon as well. So, again, if we're not on the biblical calendar, then if someone's on a calendar that the full moon does not align with on Passover or Tabernacles, then we're off because Psalm 81:3-4 says, "Blow the... excuse me, blow the trumpet at the time of the new moon, at the full moon on our solemn feast day." So, what is a feast day? A divine appointment that we just went through. So, on Passover and Tabernacles, you have full moons. The only two feast days you have full moons are Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. So, again, if one's biblical calendar does not align with that, because there are several biblical calendars out there, then those folks are off because again, Psalm 81 says, "Blow the trumpet at the full moon on a solemn feast day," which means one of these days is what the Psalmist is saying. You've got to blow the shofar on a feast day at the full moon. And that would be on Passover and Tabernacles, which begins the process and ends the process, which is pretty interesting that they both begin and end on a full moon. Remember, Israel left Egypt on a full moon on Exodus, excuse me, Nisan 15. So, again, this is very powerful to understand it from that standpoint. But my friends, the Psalmist says it very clear: "Blow the trumpet at the time of the new moon, at the full moon on our solemn feast day. For this is a statute for Israel, a law of the God of Jacob."

So, then here comes my Christian friend saying, "Okay, Chadwick, it's for just Israel. It's for the law of the God of Jacob, just for the Jewish people." Well, aren't you a part of Israel? Is my question. I hope so. I hope people are part of Israel. Romans 11. What does Paul say in Galatians 3:26-29? "If you are a seed of Christ, Messiah, then you are a seed of Abraham and you are heirs according to the promise of the Abrahamic covenant." What does that mean? That means that you are part of the Abrahamic covenant and you are a seed of Abraham. And if you're a seed of Abraham, you are a seed of Isaac, His son, and you are a seed of Jacob, His grandson. So, there's no way out of this. Christians, we've got to follow Yah, in the laws of God. And there's no way, "Oh, it's just for the Jewish people." No, it's not. If you love Jesus, if you love Yeshua, this is for you to observe, or no, it's commanded for you to observe this. So, let's get this straight. This is a statute for anyone who's a part of Israel, the one new body and the one new man. Romans 11, Galatians 3:26-29. Seed of Christ, seed of Abraham, and a seed of Isaac, and a seed of Jacob, and on down the line. We've got to understand these things. A law of the God of Jacob. So, again, who's going to say we don't want to follow the laws of God? Well, go ahead and not follow the new moon celebration then, because that's what they're saying. We've got to get it really right on this stuff, my friends, because times are getting nigh.

In Psalm 104:19-21, "He appointed the moon for what? Divine appointments." That's the word for seasons is "Moed," which means a divine appointment. "The sun knows it's going down." Amen to that. So, again, my friends, the Psalmist says He appointed the moon for divine appointments. The sun knows it's going down. So, if the moon doesn't begin the divine appointments or sets the month apart, then we're off because the Psalmist would say the moon, not the sun, the moon is the one who sets the seasons, has sets the divine appointments in Leviticus 23 and other things as well with the new moon.

So, now let's go with all of the information that we have just discovered, let's go to 1 Thessalonians 5. This is the Apostle Paul talking through the Thessalonian church. They were faithful believers. They knew what time it was, as Paul will tell you here. And this is very important for the Christian believer to understand what the Apostle Paul, who they follow the most, says about the times and the seasons. But concerning the times and the seasons, what is he talking about concerning the time? Excuse me. Concerning the time and the seasons is what the Apostle is speaking of, right? Calendar and feast days. "But brethren, you have no need," Thessalonians, "that I should write this to you. For you, Thessalonians, you faithful believers, know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night." So, Paul is relating the times and the seasons to the Day of the Lord. And those who do not understand that will be caught as a thief in the night. "For when they say, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman." Every prophet says that as well about the pregnant woman and the deliverance, and they shall not escape. "But you, brethren, faithful believers, all of you, you are not in darkness, so that the day of the Lord should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness." It goes back to Genesis 1:14. You want me... I just thought about something. Let's see if it makes sense. Look at what this is right here in verse 18 in the calendar. Look at what it says: "And to rule over the day and over the night and to divide divide the light from the darkness." Look at what Paul says: "You are all sons of light and sons of the day. You are not of the night nor of darkness." So, Paul is just confirming with you and me, my friends, Genesis 1:14-16. We've got to understand these things, or we're going to be caught as a thief in the night, and they will not escape. What will they not escape on? He's not talking about the Great Tribulation. Look at what he's talking about. He's talking about the Day of Adonai, the Day of the Lord. He's not talking about the Antichrist. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to worry about all that with the Antichrist. Every prophet, including Paul, is telling you to worry about the day of Yeshua, is what He is saying. Everybody can worry about the Antichrist all they want, and they will be here to go through that. But He's talking about watching out for Yeshua the King to come down to get rid of all falsehood and all evil that people are doing. Please read Revelation and what He's going to do. So, my friends, this is one of the most important scriptures in the New Testament and definitely one of the most important scriptures that Paul goes through. You can really read 1 Thessalonians 4, 5, and 2 Thessalonians 2, and you will get a beautiful picture of what Paul is speaking of. But for tonight, we'll just go through this 1 Thessalonians, if I can, if this computer will work. Thank you. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5: "But concerning what? The time, calendar, and the seasons. This, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you Thessalonians know perfectly well that the day of the Lord is what he's talking about, comes as a thief in the night." So, the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. But they shouldn't worry about it because they know the times and the seasons. "For when they say, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman." That will be the tribulation. "And brethren, are not in darkness, so that the day of the Lord shall overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. You're not of the night and nor of darkness." Okay. Amen to that.

So, my friends, Paul puts it right there for us to understand that to all of my Christian friends, goodness, I remember when before I was crossed over into the true ways and I was worshiping the Christian way, I had no idea what 1 Thessalonians 5 was talking about. Not that I was reading it, but I didn't understand it when I did read it. What is he talking about? The times and the seasons. People just gloss over that. Great. You know, I've got the grace. I don't need the times and the seasons. Well, Paul would disagree with that. Paul would say, "You'll be caught as a thief in the night. You will not escape the Day of the Lord, the 10 days of awe." Is what he's talking about. If, and we're going to get more into that with the month of Elul. But my friends, if we don't understand the 10 days of awe, he's talking about the Day of the Lord. What is that? The Feast of Trumpets starts the Day of the Lord, the seventh day. This Day of the Lord, 10 days. He's going to pour out His wrath. The 10 days of awe. That's what they call it. The 10 days of awe. If you're not familiar with that, we'll be going through that. And the feast days coming here in about 30 days, 40 days, 30 days, 35 days, we'll go through this video. But I have it on a video on my channel if you want to go ahead and look at it. But the 10 days of awe is a 10-day war from Yeshua, Feast of Trumpets to His return on the Atonement. Isaiah 63, He's coming down by Himself. Feast of Trumpets, 10-day war. He's by Himself. He says that. And then we come with Him in Revelation 19 on the Feast of Yom Kippur. We're in white in Revelation 19. He is in white with blood all over His garments. So, why does He have blood all over His garments? At that point, because He's been down 10 days of awe dealing the business to the people down here with the sword and with the fire. And that's why He's got blood all over His garments because He's been down for 10 days pouring out His wrath of Almighty God on the people who don't believe in Him and the evil people, the falsehood, and all these things. So, my friends, if we don't understand that, we're going to be lost. We're just going to be lost at the second coming events. And my friends, the times are getting nigh. I think that's pretty common.

As we go forward here, the Davidic Covenant. This is very beautiful. If one doesn't know Psalm 89, it's really just amazing how God tied in the Davidic Covenant with the sun and the moon and the faithful witnesses in the sky. So, this goes through the Davidic Covenant, and this goes through the faithful witnesses in the sky, the sun and the moon, which goes back to Genesis 1:14-16. And this is what Yahweh says: "I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David, Davidic Covenant. 'Your seed I will establish forever,' the Jewish people, the remnant, 'and build up your throne to all generations.' Selah. Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one and said: 'I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. I have found My servant David with My holy oil I have anointed him.' Exodus 30. 'And with him My hand shall be established; also My arm shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. I will beat down his foes before His face, and plague those who hate Him. But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name his horn shall be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry to Me, "You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation." Also I will make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips. Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. The divided covenant. His seed shall endure how long? Forever. And his throne as the sun before Me; it shall be established forever like the moon, even like the faithful witness in the sky.'" So, my friends, the sun and the moon are the faithful witnesses in the sky, according to Psalm 89. They do the Lord's bidding. Goes back to Genesis 1. Goes back to what Yeshua said with the sun and the moon will grow dark, and all these things. Joel the prophet says the same thing before the awesome great day of the Lord. And we're seeing these things all over the place right now on very important days. The sun and the moon as precursors of what's coming. But my friends, when you look at the moon, you can always think about the Davidic Covenant and what God has promised David, swore to David in 2 Samuel 7, the Davidic Covenant. And He confirmed that in Psalm 89 with the two faithful witnesses in the sky. Amen.

Okay. So, this is always important for all of my Christian friends to understand this, that will we be celebrating the new moon, excuse me, the new moon celebration in the millennial kingdom when Jesus rules for a thousand years in Jerusalem? Will we be celebrating the new moon also in eternity? Will we be celebrating the new moon in eternity as well? I mean, what's the answer to these things? So, let's go to the prophet Ezekiel 46. This is for the millennial kingdom. And look at what the prophet says: "Thus says the Lord God: 'The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be open, and on the day of the new moon it shall be open.'" So, my friends, right there it tells you for a thousand years we're going to be celebrating the new moon festival with Yeshua in Jerusalem. Ezekiel 40 through 48 are millennial kingdom chapters. That's never been done before. Yeshua is going to do it when He returns to fulfill that. So, it says in Ezekiel 46 that we will be worshiping Him on the Sabbath. The inner court will be open on the Sabbath and then on the new moon celebration. So, again, He equates to a certain degree how important the new moon is with the Sabbath. You've got the Sabbath and the new moon when the... the inner court will be open. Pretty amazing to think about how important the new moon festival is to Yah. And also the Sabbath, of course, is important to Him as well.

So, let's go to eternity. Is God going to be consistent with these things, or He's just going to do it for right now and make us go through all these things and not do them in eternity? The prophet Isaiah 66:22-24: "For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me,' says the Lord, 'so shall your descendants and your name remain. And from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,' says the Lord." I love it. I love how consistent everything is in the scriptures. And Yah is totally consistent. Millennial, right now from Genesis to right now, new moon festival, and then millennial kingdom. Ezekiel 46 says we're going to be celebrating the new moon festival for a thousand years with the King. The gates are open. And then eternity, the prophet Isaiah, the great prophet, says, "From one new moon to another, and one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before Me." Isaiah 66 is an eternal chapter. I think we can agree with that. Look at what it says: "For as the new heavens and the new earth," that has never happened before, has it? No, it has not. That's Revelation 21. So, the prophet is saying, go to Revelation 21, and "from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship Yah," says the Lord. So, my friends, very consistent for a thousand years and for eternity, we're going to be celebrating the new month. So, again, why in the world aren't we doing this now as believers in Yeshua? The Gentiles, the Christians. So, we have to really understand what the prophets are saying, what we're going to be doing for eternity and for a thousand years. So, don't you think it's a good idea to start doing it now and being in obedience right now? I would say so.

And never forget Exodus 12:49. And what Yahweh told Moses to say: "One law, only one shall be for the nativeborn Jew and for the stranger gentile who dwells among you." Only one. Not two ways, not three ways, not this way, not that way, not my way, not your way, not the church's way, not the synagogue's way, His way only. One Torah for the nativeborn Jew and for the stranger who dwells among you. Numbers 15 goes to that. Really, the entire Torah says that over and over and over again, for the strangers or the Gentiles to understand that He wants all of us as the one new body and the one new man. I mean, I think this should be pretty common for all of us to understand that He wants all of us to be one. And if we're not, then what good is it doing us? We're out of alignment with the Most High by Jews doing this and Christians doing that and everybody's doing their own set apart ways, right? And just like we've discussed before, He's the one in Leviticus 20 that sets us apart. He's the one in Psalm 4:3 that says He sets us apart, not all the stuff that the church or the synagogue is teaching. Both parties are guilty of this.

So, now let's look at the anointings of the month of Elul. First and foremost, Rosh Chodesh, everybody. Happy New Month. Happy New Moon to everybody. This is a very important month, as they all are. But this one culminates into the Feast of Trumpets. Just like we showed everybody. This culminates into Yom Teruah, where the books are opened for the individuals. Joseph, Genesis 41, you can confirm that. And then also for the nations. Go look at the story of Jonah. Go look at the story of Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel 4. They were both in this time period of Elul through Tishrei 10, the Feast of Yom Kippur. And we'll get more into that as we go through the anointings of this month. But Rosh Chodesh, everybody. We hope everybody's doing well and everybody's ready for an awesome month ahead.

As we conclude our spiritual purification journey on Elohim's divine appointments and calendar year, it could not end on a better month than Elul. It is the 12th month of the civil calendar and the sixth month of the biblical calendar. As we have discovered, the number six represents the letter Vav or Waw, which is a picture of Yeshua as the mediator between heaven and earth, because He is the one who manifests the righteous rendered verdicts from the courts of heaven to be manifested on the earth from the Feast of Trumpets on forward. Thus, the primary reason it is widely believed that the month of Elul is where the anointing of the divine presence is very strong upon the earth, and we'll get more involved in that. But this is a very powerful month where the divine presence is very powerful upon the earth. The number 12 represents the perfection of governmental order. This is the last month prophetically speaking before Yeshua would return for His second coming events. This is the last month before that. A few examples of this revelation are the 12 tribes, the 12 apostles, and so forth and so on. In the book of Revelation, we find an incredible confirmation about the power behind this number and what it points to: the perfection of governmental order in the New Jerusalem. In Revelation 21:9-17, it says, "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, 'Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.' And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Also, she had a great and high wall with 12 gates, 12 angels at the gates, and the names written on them, which are the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. Amen. Three gates on the east, on the north, on the south, and the west. Now, the wall of the city had 12 foundations, and on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb. And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: 12,000 furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. Then he measured its wall: 144 cubits, according to the measure of man, that is, of an angel." Okay, so that is a very important tie-in which goes back into the 12th month of Elul. And we just wanted to tie in what how important that is to the New Jerusalem. And the number 12 means governmental order, which is very imperative to understand.

Elul is the month that is widely accepted as meaning "the king is in the field," which points to Yeshua, the King of Israel. So, this is what is saying that the king is in the field. During this month, inspecting the believers before the Feast of Trumpets, when the books are open. You understand? So, this is very important. This saying was birthed when the kings of Israel would visit their men in the field and dwell among them during this month. So, the kings of Israel, the ancient kings of Israel, would dwell with their people in the fields during the month of Elul. That's why they say the king is in the field. But let's talk about the King of Israel, the true King of Israel. This is the month that He is inspecting the fruit of all of us before we get to the Feast of Trumpets, when the books are opened for the individuals and also the nations. So, this is super important to pray into these things during the month of repentance individually, and also the nation that you live in. If you love your nation, to pray about the nation that you live in for righteous rendered verdicts and all of these beautiful things. I live in America, so we can, we need the prayers for America, for sure. And I love the state of Israel, so we need to be praying for the Israelis as well, and whatever countries, you know, of course, where you guys are from. I love all countries, but these are just the countries that are the top two for myself. So, again, this is super amazing to be a part of if we understand the anointing of the months and understand these beautiful tie-ins that the Jewish people have given us to understand.

So, again, we'll go through it really quick. This is when the king of Israel would be in the field with their men and dwell among them during this month. That's why prophetically speaking, Yeshua is in the field inspecting the fruit of myself, you guys, and everybody else. And at Messiah's second coming events in the millennial kingdom, He will be in the field. The King will be in the field. And there's no questions will be about that at the second coming events. Accordingly, the anointing of Elul is repentance, Teshuvah, because ultimately repentance is the key to receiving the righteous rendered verdicts on the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur from Elohim. Once we repent, the righteous, just, and superior Judge moves from the judgment seat to the mercy seat through the precious blood of the Lamb to grant us the righteous rendered verdicts for our petitions. I'll say this again, my friends. What we're trying to do right now is, we're every year we're doing this is we're setting ourselves up in a good way. This is a good way. We're going through the process of the anointing of the calendar to understand these things. And if we follow Him on this thing and understand the anointings, then you're going to get the righteous rendered verdicts because you're in alignment with Him. You're obedient to what He wants us to be obedient with, and you understand the anointings of the calendar. And it's just a beautiful, beautiful thing when we're in alignment with the Most High. In 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just, and He will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." In Revelation 3:19, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent." So, again, this is the whole manner of what we need to be in right now is a state of Teshuvah, a state of repentance. We don't need to be any other way than that. Humble repentance, you know, and expecting the Lord to deliver us from whatever that may be. Once we're in alignment with Him, believing Yeshua, Holy Spirit, following the commandments, then again, we would understand these things to get the righteous rendered verdicts on the Feast of Trumpets.

Elul is the most intimate of all months because it is heavily anointed in repentance as we journey towards the Feast of Trumpets. During the past year, we have discovered that this is when the books are opened, and all the individuals and the nations are weighed in the scales by Elohim as He righteously ordains their verdicts for the year, either favorable or unfavorable. During the month of Elul, He is in the field searching the entirety of the world to see who is laboring in the field for His kingdom. Yeshua says that all the time about getting into the field, right? About the labors in the field, right? That there are very few laborers in the field to get the harvest. "The harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few," is what Yeshua says in the gospel accounts. So, again, this is very important as we set ourselves up, as we look at the calendar. What He's talking about is the month of Elul, the month of repentance, and then again, the anointings of it, the kings in the field, inspecting the fruit, all of these things. And then we get to Yom Teruah, and we pray our petitions, expecting the righteous rendered verdict from the Almighty. And however long that takes, but we expect the righteous rendered verdict if we're in alignment with Him, if we're following His ways, doing the best that we can. Sabbath, new moon, feast days, understand these things. The heart posture, love God, love neighbor, all of these things with morality. Then we're going to get the righteous rendered verdict at the appointed time. I'm not saying on the Feast of Trumpets that you will get it, or on the Feast of Yom Kippur you'll get it. You might or you might not. But at the same time, it's for the year. It's for the opening of the year. The Feast of Trumpets opens up the year to the other Feast of Trumpets for the righteous rendered verdicts to be delivered through the year or through whatever it may be. So, again, I've been on two-year journeys, I've been on three-year journeys, I've been on seven-year journeys, you know, praying about certain things. And again, it depends on the prayer and on obviously the topic, but He carries us through a journey for these things. And again, it could happen overnight. He can do it whenever. But what I try to tell people is, set yourself up for the righteous rendered verdicts. Set yourself up with Yah. Forget mankind, with Yah and what you want to petition and go through this process with Him. Be obedient to Him. The calendar, the days, the Sabbath, the new moons, all these things, feast days. Be in obedience to Him, and you will get the righteous rendered verdicts at the appointed time. There's no doubt. Now, does He carry us through a journey sometimes to give us the true convictions of all these things? Of course. But that's between you and Him on how that works with time, what He gives to you and your spiritual gifts and all these things, you know. So, again, we're all on the same page, but we're all on a different journey, so to speak. So, it depends on your journey and where you are, but obedience, my friends, is better than sacrifice. To heed the Lord is better than fatted rams on the altar. Because rebellion is just as the sin of witchcraft. And stiff-neckedness or stubbornness is just like the sin of idolatry. Who said that? The prophet Samuel. The prophet Samuel said that in 1st Samuel, I think 15. So, that's very important. I mean, that's a huge statement of what Samuel told Saul. Obedience, my friends, is better than sacrifice. To heed the Lord, to follow the Lord is better than fatted rams or whatever else on the altar. Because what? Rebellion, not following the Lord, is just as the sin of witchcraft. So, my friends, we've got a lot of people in witchcraft right now. I used to be in it as well until I stopped trying to be rebellious all the time. Once I tried my best not to be in rebellion, then I'm not stiff-necked anymore, because that's just like idolatry, is what Samuel says. So, my friend, my Christian friends, it's time to wake up and really understand what Samuel said. Paul is never going to go against that, everybody. I promise you that. He would never go against Samuel with what Samuel said with that. Even though people want to put Paul against everybody in the Bible because of their disobedience is why they do it. They want to find anything in Paul to go break the commandments because Paul's the apostle to the Gentiles. We listen to Paul, you know. No, listen to God. And if we don't listen to God, you're not going to understand Paul either. Because you're not listening to Yah. If we follow Yah and His commandments, we're going to understand Paul. If we do not, then welcome to replacement theology, which will be judged tremendously at the judgment seat of the Messiah.

Second Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness. Instead, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to Teshuvah, repentance." This month is also when we prepare for and meditate on the wedding of the Messiah, which is the month before the celebratory event will be fulfilled. So, what does that mean? Just like I showed you guys before, this is the last month before the wedding of the Messiah. When Yeshua returns, the wedding of the Messiah will be on the Feast of Trumpets. But if we don't know that, then if we don't know the calendar, if we don't know the feast days, we don't know the events, then we're going to be lost. And that reminds me of Matthew 22. That is a wedding feast parable. But I would take that literal as well. Matthew 22, what does it say? We all know He invited the people to the wedding feast. They didn't want to come. They were enjoying the world, marrying, drinking, having fun, whatever it may be. And then He told people to invite everybody. And then everybody came into the wedding feast, and He said, "Hey friend, how did you get in here? You have a different garment on." Think about that. A different garment on. How did you get in here? "Bind that servant hand and foot and cast him away with weeping and gnashing of teeth." That's not good, everybody. That's not good at all to be told to get out. But that's what Yeshua says in Matthew 22. There's going to be a lot of people coming to the wedding. You're not invited because you're not cleansed. You're not set apart in Him and believing in Him and worshiping Him in spirit and in truth. Christians, the second part of that is what you really need to focus on: "Worshiping in spirit and in truth." Not paganism, not Gregorian calendar, not Babylonian, not Roman, not none of that crap. You've got to get into the scriptures and worship in spirit and in truth, or not. You could have a Matthew 22 moment when you stand before the King of Israel. So, please understand that the Feast of Trumpets is a lot of different events that's going to happen: the Day of Judgment, the Wedding of the Messiah, the Coronation of the Messiah, the Hidden Day, the Day of Judgment, the tribulation, the rapture or the resurrection of the saints will be on the Feast of Trumpets. So, you have six idioms or events that's going to occur on this day. And please don't forget about any of them. And we'll be going through all of them on the Feast of Trumpets to help everybody understand that. If you don't understand that, that's okay. But we've got to understand that as we get to the end of the age, or like Paul says, if we don't understand the times and the seasons, thief in the night, and you will not escape. And I will not escape either if I don't understand that as well.

This month is also... I think I just read that. Okay. And then yes, I think I went ahead and mentioned it. But in the Gospel account of Matthew, Yeshua shares a profound parable about His wedding feast. And I'll read this really quick. I just went through it in summary, but I'll read it again. I didn't realize I included it. It is written, "And Yeshua answered and spoke to them again by parable, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for a son and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding.' And they were not willing to come. Again, He sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who were invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are all killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding."' But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious."

And He sent out His armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then He said to the servants, "The wedding is ready." But those who were invited were not worthy. Therefore, go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite them to the wedding. So those servants went out to the highways and gathered all whom they found, both good and bad. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, He saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So He said to him, "Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?" And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." For many are called, but few are chosen.

My friends, this is super important when you talk about the Feast of Trumpets and the wedding of the Messiah. Yes, it's a parable, but I believe it's literal as well. He says at the end there, "For many are called, but few are chosen." In Matthew 7, it says that many will go into the wide gate, and the few will go into the narrow gate. So, Matthew 22 with Matthew 7, the Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, understand what Yeshua is truly saying. For many are called, they will go to the wide gate (Matthew 7). And few are chosen, they will go to the narrow gate (Matthew 7). So, my friends, which one is it? The narrow gate or the wide gate? The many or the chosen? You want to be chosen. You want to be chosen.

In this understanding, you want to be chosen with these things to go through the narrow gate, and very few find that. Matthew 22 really gets the heart position in the right area because He is speaking about the Jewish people, but He's also speaking about the Gentiles as well. Very fair, very balanced. We've got to believe. We've got to worship the right way. We've got to be in alignment, or not. It's not going to be good if we come to stand before the King of Israel with a different garment on than the one that He wants us in: white and clean. We can't be white and clean with paganism. We can't be white and clean by worshiping man and man's ways, which is what Christianity does and Judaism does as well with their oral traditions.

So, my friends, there's only one way to worship: God's way. Not Judaism's way, not Christianity's way, but God's way. And until we understand that as Jews and Gentiles, we're going to be in a heck of a mess. Just take a look around the world. Again, Yah is judging this world right now because the Jews and the Christians have not done our part. We have not. Look at this world. Look at the evil all across this world because we're all over the place as believers in Yah and believers in Yeshua, with 50,000 denominations all over the world, different sects of Judaism all over the place. I mean, goodness gracious, no wonder He's pouring out the gavel on this world because the Jews and the Christians have not done our part in His kingdom. And He's letting the household of God get the business first, and then He'll deal with the world. But again, just keep that in mind as we look at Israel, we look at America, we look at all these things, Europe, that He's given the business to everybody because the Jews and the Christians, all of us, have not done our part in God's kingdom on this earth, or this world would not be looking the way that it does. You might be doing your part, amen. But as a whole, we are not doing our part at all. Because this world is evil, and goodness gracious, the love of many has grown definitely frosty, to say the least. So much hatred in the world.

Matthew 22, my friends, is very serious. Take it as a parable. Take it literal. Understand what Yeshua is truly saying with this. Many are called, they will go to the wide gate because of the ways of the world. The four soils in Matthew 13, they get choked out because of the worries of the world. And then the chosen, they don't care about all that stuff. You don't care about all that stuff. I don't care about all that stuff. We're going to go through the narrow gate because we could care less about the world and what's in the world, which is totally evil according to Yeshua.

In Yeshua's parable, we can receive great insight as to the attitude of many, including the believers at the end of the age. We need to always make sure our priorities are aligned with the Master, anticipating and eagerly awaiting the beautiful wedding of the Messiah, which surely will come upon some as a thief in the night.

As we discussed, the anointing of the month of Elul is repentance. Elul one commences a special time and season with Elohim, which continues 10 extra days into the month of Tishrei, to Yom Kippur. In other words, Elul has 29 days to Tishrei one, the Feast of Trumpets, and then it journeys 10 more days: the 10 days of awe to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Make no mistake, this is an extremely, again, extremely important time according to the Holy Scriptures.

As we know, the number 40 symbolizes a time of testing. We find two supreme examples in the Word of Elohim. So again, my friends, as you can see here, let me put the graph back up. This is a super important time. It's kind of like the counting of the Omer in the spring feast days, but we're just moving to the fall anointing of it. And you've got the month of Elul, Elul one, and then you go to Tishrei 10. These 40 days are very important scripturally speaking, and also for all of us right now as we go into the Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur.

Let's look at these examples that Yah gives us on how important this season is that we have entered into at sundown, wherever you may be. Elul one to Tishrei 10 is the exact time that Moses ascended Mount Sinai for the last set of 40 days to receive the new set of tablets. He descended Mount Sinai on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. So again, you can go to Deuteronomy 9 through 10, and it'll go through the three sets of 40 days that Moses went through. I'll kind of show you that right now.

So again, we're all familiar with Shavuot, Pentecost, where the Torah was given. And what happens in the scriptures is he goes up the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights from Shavuot to Tammuz 17. Tammuz 17 is when they created the golden calf. 40 days after they got the revelation of the Torah, and then he came down, he judged the people, made them drink the calf through the water, killed 3,000 people. So, just understand, 3,000 people were killed on Tammuz 17th, not Shavuot. People out there will be teaching that 3,000 people died on Shavuot. 3,000 people were saved on Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given. That's false. 3,000 people died on Tammuz 17th, the golden calf, not Shavuot, 40 days before Tammuz 17th. And then, yes, Acts 2, 3,000 people were saved when the blessed Holy Spirit poured out. So again, Tammuz 17th was the day. So again, the 40 days from Shavuot to Tammuz 17th, the first 40, he came down, judged the people. He went back up on Tammuz 18 for 40 days, no reassurance, came back down on Av 30. And then he went back up on Elul one for the last set of 40. Please remember, Moses was 80 years old when he did all this: up, down, up, down. I have a hard time going up 10 steps, much less Mount Sinai. So, just realize that he was 80 years old doing this. The last set of 40 was Elul one to Tishrei 10. He came down with new tablets, and they started building the tabernacle, and then they set it up on Nisan 1.

So, we just have to understand biblical scriptures because the anointing of the calendar is through the Exodus account for them, and now for us, as a purification. So, Elul one to Tishrei 10 is super important. It's called the month of repentance, the month of Elul, and then you get into the feast days of 10 Days of Awe, when we're all weighed in the balance. That's very important. Why? Because the constellation of Tishrei, month number seven, is scales, because we're all weighed in the balance the first 10 days, and then we try to get the righteous rendered verdict on Yom Kippur. So, Moses gives us a great example of that from Elul one to Tishrei 10. What was he doing during that time? He was interceding for the people. I mean, Moses was the most humbled man on the face of the earth, from what the scripture says. So, we need to understand that his heart position was for intercession during this time, these really these three sets of 40. He was really petitioning for the children of Israel. Please go read that. It's really an amazing heart posture that he had, a humble heart posture that he had for the people, even though they were, you know, stiff-necked and all these things. Go read what the petitions were with Moses. "Don't ruin your people. Don't destroy your people." Because people will look at your character. God was what he was worried about. He was worried about God's character. And also the people as well. So, Moses was worried about the two greatest commandments. How many of us would have done that? He was worried about God's reputation, His character among the nations. And then he was worried about the people being destroyed because he didn't want the people to be destroyed either. He had family, he had friends, he had all these people. So again, we have to have the heart position for this. That tells you and me that there's a great anointing during the month of repentance with intercession for people. So, my friends, if you're interceding for people, this is a great time to do that for your nation, for America, for Israel, for France, for whoever, for Britain, whoever, wherever you're from. It's a great time to pray into that. Australia, we've got friends there, Canada, all you guys. So again, this is a great time to pray for your family and for your friends, for the nation, and do our part in God's kingdom, just like Moses did. I mean, Moses could have set on Mount Sinai and said, "Oh, great, man. Let's just hang out. Give me, build me a great nation." Just like God told him He wanted to build Moses a great nation. "Let me destroy them." Moses said, "No, God, what about Your reputation? Bringing Your people out to destroy them?" No. So again, we've got that. How many of us would have been that like that in this world of selfishness? Most people, not you guys, but most people would be like, "Yeah, build me a great nation. Y'all, destroy these people." That's how most people would be, right? So, we've got to be like Moses. We've got to have the anointing of what he did. And what he did was intercede for his God and for his people, the two greatest commandments. Pretty amazing to think about it like that.

So you tell me, this month is very anointed with deliverance, with repentance, with all these righteous rendered verdicts coming in the Feast of Trumpets, but it all begins throughout the year, but it really begins on Elul, the month of repentance, for the year. So, this is a super important time, as you guys know, and I wanted to share that with you, that this is super important in the scriptures of the anointing of the biblical calendar. That's why the calendar is important because the scriptures will anoint the calendar with the events of the Bible for us as well, to be purified, if that makes sense.

The other profound example is when Yeshua began His earthly ministry. Before I get to that, because I didn't include this on the scrolls, I'll mention one more before we get to Yeshua and the Tanakh: the prophet Jonah. We all know the prophet Jonah gave Moses, or excuse me, excuse me, I repent, actually, for that. That's crazy. But anyhow, Jonah walked into Assyria, Nineveh, and told the people to repent for 40 days and 40 nights. My friends, if we understand how the Bible works and how the calendar works and repentance works, he didn't walk in on any 40 days. He walked in on Elul one, after they had the solar eclipse over Nineveh. By the way, that's why the people were ready to repent because there was a solar eclipse. You can go look this up in the records. There was a solar eclipse over Nineveh before Jonah walked in. That's why the people were ready to repent, from the king down. And he said, "You've got 40 days." What happened? Yom Kippur came, and they were delivered. God delivered the Assyrians. And that's why He had the conversation with Jonah afterwards, because Jonah didn't really want the Assyrians to get deliverance, you know, because they were an enemy of Israel. But He corrected the prophet, corrected him big time, and He poured out His mercy on the Assyrians and let them survive that time, and then He destroyed them with Nebuchadnezzar in 605 BC with King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. So again, the 40 days were not just any 40 days. Jonah told the people to repent, and they did. The Assyrians did. It goes into what Jeremiah 18 says about a nation: whenever they repent, then God will relent. And if they don't, then He won't relent. That is what Jeremiah says in Jeremiah chapter 18.

So now let's go to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. So Yeshua, the Messiah. This is a profound example of Yeshua's earthly ministry. Once John the Baptist immersed Him, He was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert to be tempted by Satan for 40 days and 40 nights. The time of testing commenced on Elul one and ended on Tishrei 10, which is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. How do we know this? Luke records Messiah going into the synagogue to teach on Yom Kippur after His time of testing, which fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy. It is written, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who are who mourned."

Very important. So, the prophet Isaiah prophesies this, and then here we go with the fulfillment, partial fulfillment with Luke 4. So, Messiah partially fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy right after His temptation by Satan in the desert on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Luke 4:1-2: "Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for 40 days by the devil. And in those days, He ate nothing. And afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry." In Luke 4:14-21: "Then Yeshua returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding regions. And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, when He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, everybody, and stood up to read. And He handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it is written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.' Then He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, 'Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.'"

In Isaiah 61:1-2, the prophet declares, "to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God." However, in Luke 4:14-21, Messiah concluded with "to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord," and then He closed the book. He did not finish by declaring "the day of vengeance of our God." This explains the day of vengeance, which is Messiah's second coming events, will culminate on the Feast of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, just as the other portion of Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled on this divine appointment at His first coming as well.

So again, let me say this really quick. So again, we saw what Isaiah wrote and what also Messiah said as well, and He fulfilled everything up to that last part, the vengeance, the day of vengeance of our God. So again, what does Isaiah say about setting the captives free? If one knows the Jubilee year, that means it starts on Yom Kippur, the Jubilee year. So, we have to understand this, my friends, with the Torah to understand the Gospels. We can't understand these things in the Gospels unless we understand the Torah of what I just said. So again, the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, is when the Jubilee year starts, not on the Feast of Trumpets, the Jubilee year. So, we have to understand that He came down on that, on the Feast of Yom Kippur, and then He said what He said. And then when He comes back again to redeem the nation of Israel with all of us, it's going to be on Yom Kippur. And it goes into Isaiah's prophecy of Isaiah 61. So, this is truly remarkable. It's totally amazing how we can understand these things if we understand the prerequisites to understand them, the foundation to understand them. If we don't, we won't. So, we have to realize what Yeshua was doing here, just like Moses did as well. He atoned. And then when He comes again, He's going to atone the nation of Israel, and He's going to redeem them from the Islamists, and then He's going to judge everybody for their falsehood as well. So, it's just not Him coming to the Islamists to hand them the business. It's about everyone and anyone who's practicing falsehood and a lie. So, we've got to understand what He's truly coming to do. Isaiah 11, we'll go through that as well with that. Super important. This is really awesome when you look at Isaiah 61, Luke 4, the partial fulfillment. And He did it on Yom Kippur, and then He's going to do it on Yom Kippur again, at the Second Coming events.

Let me see here. So, this explains the day of vengeance, which is Messiah's second coming events, will culminate on the Feast of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, just as the other portion of Isaiah's prophecy was on this divine atonement as well. Moses atoned for the sins of the nation of Israel on the first Yom Kippur at Mount Sinai, just as Messiah will also redeem the nation or kingdom of Israel in His second coming events on Yom Kippur as well. So, look at the tie-in with Moses on Yom Kippur and also Yeshua on Yom Kippur, redeeming the kingdom or redeeming the children of Israel. Remember what Moses said in Exodus 32: "I will go make atonement for you." Is what he said in Ezekiel, not Ezekiel, Exodus 32. And that's what Yeshua is going to do as well. He's going to redeem them. He's going to restore them. It's truly amazing to put these things together with this fall feast.

Remember, Messiah has atoned for all of mankind's individual sins at the Feast of Passover. However, as a corporate nation, the believing Jews and Gentiles, Israel will not be completely redeemed until Messiah's second coming events, when He meets them face to face at Mount Sinai, with the ultimate destination in sight: the Holy Mount Zion. You can read that in Hosea, Ezekiel, and also Ephesians 1 is a great understanding of that. But if you're going to read Ephesians 1, you've got to understand the calendar and the feast days. If not, then we won't understand what Paul's writing in Ephesians 1. There's just no way to understand that because he says this in Ephesians 1: He gives you a timeline, individual to the nation timeline. He says, basically, about Passover, you were redeemed with the set-apart Spirit, the redemption of sin or forgiveness of sins, the redemption through the blood of the Messiah, Passover, until the purchased, treasured possession is possessed by Yeshua. When is that? Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Paul talks about Passover, individual salvation in Ephesians 1, if we understand it. And then he concludes it with the Feast of Yom Kippur when He redeems the nation of Israel, including believing Jews and Gentiles, at the Feast of Yom Kippur. Individual salvation, Passover; national salvation, the Feast of Yom Kippur, with Israel, with the overall nation, according to the everlasting covenants. He has to do it. He has to. There's no ifs, ands, or buts. As the Jewish Messiah, He has to do this with the feast days, with the covenants, with the calendar. He has to fulfill every jot and tittle. Everybody. So, that means everything He's going to fulfill. What do I mean by that? When He comes, He has already fulfilled the first four. When He comes again, He will fulfill the last three. While He's fulfilling the last three, He will be the Seed of David and the Seed of Abraham, the fulfillment of the Abrahamic and the Davidic covenant. What are those? The Abrahamic covenant promises the land and the seed of the land: think about it, the land, peace, promised land, the boundaries, and the seed of the land, Yeshua. Davidic covenant: David was promised a seed as well, which is Yeshua, to rule on His throne over the promised land of the Abrahamic covenant. So, the Davidic covenant builds and extends from the Abrahamic covenant, and then He is the New Covenant. And the New Covenant will be when the Jewish people say, "Baruch, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." They will be His people, and He will be their God, and we will be living literally in the New Covenant, which is the millennial kingdom. We're all saved by the New Covenant right now, the blood of the Lamb, all these things. You're not living in the New Covenant. Please look around. The New Covenant will be the millennial kingdom when He fulfills the Abrahamic, the land, peace, the Davidic covenant, the throne, and rule over all of us with the land, peace, on David's throne in Jerusalem. That's why Matthew, my Christian friends, that's why it's important to read Matthew 1:1, the very beginning of the New Testament. What does Matthew say? Seed of David, Seed of Abraham. The first line of the holy of the New Testament is Seed of David, Seed of Abraham. So again, in all due respect and love to everybody out there, if we do not understand that, close the Bible and go back and read the Torah and get educated, and then go back to Matthew, and we will understand what the Jewish writer said. He said, "Seed of David, Seed of Abraham." So, the Jewish people would understand Yeshua is the fulfillment of the Abrahamic and the Davidic covenant. That's why I tell people, no way is Israel going to conquer the promised land for many reasons, but for this reason: they are not the Seed of David. They are not the Seed of Abraham. He is, and no one's conquered the promised land but He will. So, we've got to understand that Seed of David, Seed of Abraham, Yeshua the Messiah. No one else. And He's going to conquer the promised land. He'll sit on David's throne and rule over the Jewish remnant and over the Gentile remnant as well for a thousand years, the one new body and the one new man. Praise be His holy name. Praise be His holy name. Awesome.

As Luke concludes, he provides another confirmation that this event occurred on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It is written, "So all of those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff." Then, passing through the midst of them, He went His way. As the people heard Yeshua testify that Isaiah 61:1-2 was fulfilled in their hearing, they were filled with wrath and wanted to throw Yeshua off the cliff. This attempt on Yeshua's life signifies this event was on Yom Kippur because only on the Day of Atonement would the people throw the scapegoat over the hill for the redemption of national sins. In Leviticus 16, we find this statute to be completed on one day and one day only, which is the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. That's why, my friends, we have to understand the Torah and the Prophets and the Psalms to get the revelation out of the Gospels.

The month of Elul means harvest, and it begins the great harvest that continues through the month. Excuse me. Hang on one second. I'm out of... never mind. Okay, let me go back and go deeper with this really quick if people don't understand. So, in Leviticus 16, it says they have two goats. One to sacrifice for the sin offering, and then one to throw over the cliff. They did release it to go into the forest in the wilderness. But what happened is the goat came back. And then they started, they just threw it over the cliff so the goat wouldn't come back. So, whenever they wanted to throw Yeshua off the cliff, they wanted to do it as the scapegoat. So, that's how you know also that it is a Yom Kippur event as well.

The month of Elul also has an interesting acronym associated with it. I love this. This is one of my favorite parts. In the Song of Solomon, the Song of Songs, we find the phenomenal revelation. It is written, "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." In Hebrew, it is "Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li." Interestingly, this revelation consists of four Yods, with each Yod having a numerical value of 10. And when you multiply four times 10, it equals 40, which points to the time of testing or the 40 days of repentance from Elul one to Tishrei 10. This song is a love song between the groom, Yeshua, and His bride, all of us, which symbolizes Elohim's fervent love and great passion for His people, His bride. "Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li," or "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," is for you and me with our Creator, our Royal Majesty, Yeshua. So, this is one again, my friends, this is one of my favorite parts, and there's something wrong with those things here, but that's okay. So, there we go. So, again, this is one of my favorite parts of this, and this is why it's just important to look through these things because the acronym of Elul, which is the name that they put on the month, a four-letter word, is basically four Yods. Well, those four Yods have a, each Yod has a value of 10, so when you have four of them, that's 40. So, even in what they named the month right now, Elul, it goes into the 40 days of repentance from Elul one to Tishrei 10, which is pretty phenomenal to go through. So, all of these interesting calculations and things like that is just really beautiful, but we just have to dive into it and receive it of what has been given.

So, again, "Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li," "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." Each Yod is the 10th letter of Elohim's alphabet and has a numerical value of 10, which represents the perfection of divine order. A few examples of this powerful perfect number are the Ten Commandments, the 10 plagues in Egypt, the 10 kings of the antichrist kingdom, the 10 Days of Awe. These examples, which in all these examples, they directly confirm the perfection of divine order, the anointing of the number 10. So again, if one's not familiar with the Hebrew alphabet, Yod is a value of 10. And it's also the 10th letter. And so you put that with what we just discovered with Elul, which has four Yods in it. If you can look at the Hebrew up there, it has four Yods. I'm sure you probably can't see my arrow, but if you're familiar with the Yod, it's like the apostrophe. So, let me supersize this. So, when you look at the Hebrew from right to left, you find four Yods. It's like an apostrophe up there. So, you see one, two, three, and four with a Yod. Very phenomenal.

Okay, so now let's look at the pictograph. Every letter does have a pictograph. And Yod's pictograph is an arm or hand reaching towards heaven in praises and prayer. In the classical Hebrew, it is an apostrophe or a single tag upward. The upper part points to God. The lower part to the earth, and the middle section holds the parts together in unity. Three parts are one. Pretty interesting. Yod symbolizes being humble and in submission to the Lord. It is the smallest of all the letters and a picture of humility. A great example of humility is Moses, who is the most humbled man on earth during his days. Yod is the letter that all the other letters begin with, which demonstrates the power of the divine point of energy it contains. Yod is considered the starting point of the presence of God in all things, the spark of the spirit in everything. Amen. This amazing letter is the first letter of the divine name of the Almighty, which shows that He is Spirit. He is one, and from Him derives all things by the power of His Word through the Holy Spirit. Lastly, Yod is the first letter of Yakov (Jacob), of Israel, of Yehudim (Jews), of Jerusalem, highlighting its importance even more so. What a powerful letter to close out our spiritual purification journey. Yod is a very impactful letter that we can pray and meditate upon with our arms lifted up in the air in worship, as Elohim's glory, His glory shines radiant wisdom and knowledge upon us, revealing His light for us.

Okay, excuse me for a moment. Okay, so now let's look at the constellation for Elul. Again, all these anointings are going to go together. The Hebrew letter of the month, as we just discovered, is Yod. We saw the significance of that in the month of Elul as well. So, it's all going to tie in together with all of these things, just like we just discussed. So, now let's look at the constellation of the month of Elul, which is the Virgin, which is Virgo. And we're going to go deep with this.

So, in Genesis 1:14-16, I'm not going to read all of it because we read it earlier, but look at the last sentence: "He made the stars also." So, He's the one God has made the stars also for His bidding and only His bidding. Just like Revelation says, all things existed and were created for His purposes only, including the stars. So, Virgo represents a virgin bearing a branch in her right hand and an ear of corn in her left. In Hebrew, Arabic, and Greek, Virgo means "pure virgin," which reverts us to the first messianic prophecy in the Holy Scriptures. It is written, "So the Lord God said to the serpent, 'I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.'" In this passage, she is represented only as a woman. However, in later biblical prophecies, she is defined as being from the children of Israel, specifically a seed from Abraham's lineage and a seed of David. Isaiah 7:13-14: "Then Isaiah said, 'Listen well, you royal family of David. Isn't it enough to exhaust human patience? Must you exhaust the patience of my God as well? All right, then. The Lord Himself will give you a sign. Look, the virgin shall conceive a child. She will give birth to a son and will call His name Immanuel, which means God is with us.'"

In the Brit Hadashah, or the New Testament writings, we find the fulfillment of this prophecy with the Virgin Mary. In the Gospel accounts of Matthew and Luke, they record this divine and holy event that only Yah could have orchestrated. Luke 1:26-29: "Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, 'Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.' But when she saw this, or sorry, when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Miriam, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son, and shall call His name Yeshua. He will be great and be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David' (Davidic covenant), 'He will reign over the house of Jacob forever' (Abrahamic covenant), 'and of His kingdom there will be no end' (the New Covenant)." Then Miriam said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" (virgin, Virgo). And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God."

Very amazing. So, even in this scripture, my friends, Mary, or excuse me, Gabriel tells you what Yeshua is coming to do, what He's coming to do: the reign from His father David's throne over the promised land of the Abrahamic covenant, and His kingdom will have no ending. The New Covenant. It's pretty amazing. So again, that is His commission, everybody. That's what He's coming to do, is that, and to fulfill every jot and tittle of Torah. Matthew 1:22-23: "So all of this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 'Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,' which is translated, 'God is with us.'" Miriam was highly favored because she was pure, dedicated, and loyal to Yah. In this month, let us purify ourselves in every single way so that we can receive the anointing of Virgo, which is highly favored. We can only imagine the scene of that divine appointment with Miriam and Gabriel. Wow. To be told that we were carrying the Son of the Highest would have been surreal and unimaginable. All the women out there who've had children, what do you think about that? That's pretty amazing, isn't it? The Virgin Mary was obviously a godly woman whose purity is a quality we can glean in this month as we conclude our spiritual purification journey. Purity, what a beautiful thing.

Isaiah 9:6-7: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will rest on His shoulders, and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time even forevermore." Just like Luke recorded in Matthew as well. "The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." Amen and amen and amen.

Interestingly, the brightest star in Virgo is in her hand and bears the ancient Hebrew name "Tzemach," or "the Branch." The biblical prophets specifically wrote about the branch of righteousness in their spirit-filled prophecies. Isaiah 11:1-3: "There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears." Zechariah 6:12: "Tell him that this is what the Lord of hosts says: 'Behold, the Man whose name is the Branch, from His place He shall branch out, and He shall build the temple of the Lord.'" Jeremiah 23:5: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will raise up for David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and justice in the earth."

Let me add to this because I don't believe I go through this next part with you, but this is very important when you look at it and when you look at Jeremiah 23 or Zechariah 6, the Branch. And you do the research on the Branch, remember there's a prophecy in the New Testament saying that He will be a Nazarene. There's not a prophecy in the Holy Bible that says that that prophesies that. And that's why the Jewish people have problems with that portion of the New Testament because it says He will be a Nazarene. Well, if you go do your research on the Branch, it's called Nazareth, which is what the Branch is called. So, we just have to do a lot deeper research to understand why the writers of the New Testament called He will be a Nazarene when there's no prophecy that says that. They're wanting you to go deeper into understanding what the Branch truly is in the Hebrew, and that would go to the Nazareth, so to speak. So, you can do your own research on that. It's really phenomenal to put that together.

We will conclude exploring the constellation Virgo by singing and praying along with the Song of Mary. It is written: "And Mary said: 'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, for He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from thrones, and exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever.'" Hallelujah.

My friends, there's a great correlation with Mary's prayer and Hannah's prayer. Remember Hannah, who had Samuel. Hannah's prayer, if you put those two together, is a great understanding. One day we're going to go through the women of the Bible. We'll do a series on the women of the Bible, and we'll go through the prayer of Hannah and the prayer of Mary. It's really pretty phenomenal to say the least.

Isaiah 66:7-11: "Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a male child. Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children. Shall I bring to the time of birth and not cause delivery, says the Lord? Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb, says your God? Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad with her! All you who love her, rejoice with her joy, all you who mourn for her, that you may be fed and be satisfied with the consolation of her bosom; that you may drink deeply and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."

So, my friends, some people put this as 1948, so to speak. I would personally disagree with that because it's speaking about the tribulation and then the deliverance with Yeshua, and the nation will be born again, the one new body, the one new man, Jews and Gentile remnant will be there. So again, "Before she was in labor, she gave birth" to Yeshua. "Before her pain came, the tribulation, she delivered a male child," Yeshua. "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such a thing? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor," what is that? The prophets go through that, all of them, including Isaiah, the tribulation. She was in labor. She gave birth to her children. "Shall I bring to the time of birth," which is the Feast of Trumpets, when He returns, "and not cause delivery," says the Lord? "Shall I cause delivery and not cause delivery and shut up the womb," says your God? "Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad with her! All you who love her, all of you and all of me. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her, that you may be fed and satisfied with the consolation of her bosom, that you may drink deeply and be delighted with the abundance of her glory." When's her glory come? When Yeshua returns and sets up the millennial kingdom. Amen.

All right. So, the last anointing that we'll get into tonight before we pray into the new month is the tribe of the month. And as you can see, it's got a lot of great anointings. You've got the Yod, which means a divine spark, a divine energy. You have what we just discovered with the Virgin Virgo. And then the deliverance. Think about that with the month of Elul, the last month before He comes to deliver us from the world. This is pretty amazing stuff. And now we get into the tribe of the month, which is Gad, which means good fortune. So again, when we look at the anointings of the month, the tribe, the letter, the constellation, these are all to give inspiration for this month. And this month is for good fortune, is what Gad means. It's very, very amazing that goes into a lot of understandings here. First off, for all of us here on the earth today, we're looking for the good fortune of the righteous rendered verdict. That's why Gad is in Elul and not in any other month, because of the good fortune going into the feast days to get the righteous rendered verdicts for all of us at Messiah's second coming events. Elul will be the last month before He returns, and we won't have good fortune when He returns as well. So, looking at it from our standpoint and a prophetic standpoint, this month means good fortune. We want to have good fortune now, and we want to have good fortune the month before He returns, before He delivers the baby from the labor pains. So, let's look at this tribe as we get more inspiration for this month.

Gad is the first of two sons of the patriarch Jacob and Zilpah, who was Leah's handmaid, and the seventh overall son. Think about that, the seventh overall son. Think about that. So, before the seventh day comes, which is the return of the Messiah, the 7,000th year, the Feast of Trumpets will begin that. Then we have this in this month. We have the seventh son that leads into that, which is pretty interesting. He is the father of the tribe of Gad. The month of Gad has a favorable anointing, as his name means good fortune. So, when Gad was born, Leah proclaimed, "Good fortune has come." Hence, the anointing of the tribe of Elul is good fortune. So again, the tribes, the name of the tribes all came out how the women felt, how Leah felt, how Rachel felt when they had the baby. So, whenever they had the son, then the way that they felt is what they named him. So, Gad's name means good fortune because that's what she said, "Good fortune has come." Hence, the anointing of the tribe of Elul is good fortune. When we combine the anointing of the month of Elul, repentance, and the tribe of Gad, which means good fortune, it illustrates that when we repent, good fortune comes, and thus is the month of Elul.

The tribe of Gad were valiant warriors that had great strength of mind and friendly temperaments. The tribe of Gad was a member of the northern kingdom until the kingdom was conquered by Assyria in 723 BC, and the population was deported. From that time forward, the tribe of Gad has been counted as one of the 10 lost tribes of Israel. If one's not familiar with the tribe of Gad, you can see it here on... in Jordan of today, or Amman today. Remember the three tribes told, or the two tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh petitioned Moses to stay in the land of Jordan of today, that area of Jordan and Assyria, because of the pastures and all their livestock and things like that. Moses petitioned to the Lord, and the Lord granted that petition by these two and a half tribes. So that's why you see Gad where it is, not really in the promised land, if you will. It's really in Jordan, so to speak. Elohim allowed Moses to allot the land to the tribe of Gad on the eastern side of the Jordan River. The tribes of Reuben and half of Manasseh also inherited their allotment of land on the eastern side of the Jordan River as well. Gad's land was the central region of all three allotments, east of Ephraim and west of Manasseh. So again, that's where the allotment is for the tribe of Gad.

The prophet Elijah, the prophet Elijah is the most well-known person who was from the tribe of Gad. The life of Elijah is one of the most amazing testimonies in the Holy Scriptures and was one of the two people who were enraptured in the heavens without dying, with Enoch being the other. It is written, "Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." Most believers are aware of the many miracles that Elijah accomplished in his life, including his most famous, as he challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, proclaiming, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If Yahweh is Elohim, follow Him. But if Baal is God, then follow him." And that's exactly what the prophet would say today to the Jews and the Christians. Subsequently, Elohim answered Elijah and divinely substantiated who is the one true Elohim. At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed, "Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, let it be known today that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant, and have done all of these things at Your command. Answer me, Lord. Answer me, so these people will know that You, Lord, are God, and that You are turning their hearts back again." Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all of the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!" Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets! Do not let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley, and they slaughtered them, about 400 Baal prophets.

In the book of Revelation, we find two witnesses who prophesy about the testimony of Yeshua and the Word of Elohim, ordained by Yahweh with authority to power to shut heaven, turn the waters into blood, strike the earth with plagues as often as they desire. It is the widely held belief that one of the witnesses is Elijah. The prophet Malachi testifies, "Thus says the Lord: 'Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, which I commanded Him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.'" The prophet validates that Elijah is one of the witnesses in the book of Revelation.

Here are Jacob and Moses' blessings upon Gad and the tribe of Gad. Genesis: "And of Gad he said: 'Blessed is he who enlarges Gad; he lies down like a lion, and tears the arm and the crown of his head. He provided the first part for himself, because a lawgiver's portion was reserved there; he came with the heads of the people; he administered the justice of the Lord and his judgments with Israel.'" Deuteronomy 33:20-21: "And of Gad he said: 'Blessed is he who enlarges Gad; He dwells as a lion, and tears the arm and the crown of his head. He provided the first part for himself, because a lawgiver's portion was reserved there; He came with the heads of the people; He administered the justice of the Lord and His judgments with Israel.'"

So, friends, thank you very much for being with us tonight. That will wrap up the teaching and all of the information on the feast, not the feast, the month of Elul. I'm all ready for the Feast of Trumpets, but it's the month of Elul, Elul one. These three anointings that we have are the constellation Virgo, the virgin, also the Hebrew letter, the Yod, and then also we had the tribe of the month, which is Gad, which means good fortune. So, you have virgin, good fortune. You have the constellation Virgo, the Hebrew letter, the divine spark. And this is a very powerful month to be in intercession for ourselves, but also for other people as well, as we pray into it, just like Moses did, just like Moses did these last 40 days. Just like Yeshua was tempted for 40 days during this time. Jonah went into Nineveh for 40 days. The people repented. So, this is a time of repentance. Why it's called the month of repentance is because of that Teshuvah. And then we have all these great anointings of good fortune that comes from repentance. That sets us up for the Feast of Trumpets with the books being open. We want good fortune, don't we? With the verdicts of the Most High, the righteous rendered verdicts, where it all begins with the month of Elul with this process through to Yom Kippur. It begins right now for 40 days. 40 days. It begins right now with repentance, Teshuvah, intercession, get righteous, get our white garments on, and get ready for the fall feast days, is what this truly means. And for the believer, it means really everything as we go before the throne of heaven on the Feast of Trumpets to petition our cases for righteous rendered verdicts. We've done a prayer online every year since we've been doing this, and we'll do another prayer this year on Tishrei 2, because the first Tishrei 1, we'll be going through the Feast of Trumpets and all the anointings on it, and it will be a long video. So, we will definitely do the prayer on Tishrei 2, because you have 10 days, the 10 Days of Awe, 10 days you're waiting to balance the nations as well. And goodness gracious, look at the nations right now. So again, this is a very important time to pray into individuals, but also nations as well. Whatever God puts on your heart, whether it's your own country, Israel, or whether whatever it may be, it's time to really intercede because all nations need major prayer right now, from what I personally see. Most nations are in debt right now, major debt right now, which is not good. So, we've got to pray for our countries and pray for the righteous rendered verdict so that our countries can be a sheep nation and not a goat nation when He judges the nations. So, my friends, super important to understand this, that we have to do our part like Moses did, like the prophets did, like Yeshua did, like Paul did, the disciples did. We've got to glean into these things and press into these things. So, right now is the time to press in, you know, with the repentance, with Teshuvah, with intercession for nations, for individuals, for churches, for whoever. It's time for intercession, just like the prophet Moses gave us a great example of that. And then when we get to the Feast of Trumpets, we've already done the repentance part. We'll do it on the Feast of Trumpets as well. But then you expect the righteous rendered verdicts. And how that works is depending on a lot of things, but it's individual with Yah on the timeline, and all these things that He will show you with your own spiritual gifts, whatever those may be. So, this is a really fascinating time. It's a very important time. It's a dire time when you look at the Middle East, North Africa, when you look at Europe, when you look at Russia and Ukraine, just take a look around. And it's a dire time. And that's time for the believers to really step in and press into the Most High to overcome these things because we have to overcome these things to the very end. So, my friends, I hope you guys have a great month of Elul, a month of repentance, and get in with the Lord, you know, really kind of shut off certain things in the world to press in, because I promise you, all this other stuff will be waiting for you after this. In the world is not going anywhere. But for all of us who are set apart believers, we've got to be set apart in this month. We've got to repent in this month. We've got to intercede for this month. And then you will see some beautiful things during the fall feast days.

So, with that being said, we want to have the prayers for the month. You can join us if you'd like, and then we'll say the Aaronic Blessing. If you would stand, if you're able to stand, please do stand if you're led to, as we pray out for this month. "Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who created the skies with His Word, and all of heaven's hosts with the breath of His mouth. He gave them appointed times and roles, and they never miss their cues, doing their Creator's bidding with gladness and joy. He is the true Creator who acts faithfully, who has told the moon to renew itself. It is a beautiful crown for the people carried by God from birth, who will likewise be renewed in the future in order to proclaim the beauty of their Creator for His glorious majesty. Praised are You, O Lord, who renews new moons. May it be Your will, Yah, our Elohim and Elohim of our fathers, that You begin for us this month for good and for blessing, for good fortune. May You give to us long life, a life of substance, a life of physical health, a life in which there's no shame or humiliation, a life of wealth and honor, a life in which we love Torah and fear Elohim, a life in which Yah fulfills the requests of our hearts for good. Amen." And say, "Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the King of..." Excuse me. Excuse me, everybody. "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by Your commandments and commanded us to be a light to the nations and has given us Yeshua, our Messiah, the light of the world. Amen. Amen. And amen." Excuse me again, everybody. Sorry about that. And now we'll do the Aaronic Blessing, if I can get through it. We'll do the Aaronic Blessing in English and also in Hebrew. If you'd like to say it with us, give me one more second, please. Excuse me again, everybody. Let's take this from Yah and not from man. As we go through this, may God bless you. May He keep you. May His face shine upon you and give favor. May He lift up His face to you and give you peace. And in the Hebrew: "Adonai, Adonai, Shalom." In the name and blood of Yeshua, "B'shem Yeshua HaMashiach. Amen. Amen. And amen." Excuse me again, everybody. So thank you so much for your patience with that, your grace with that, and thank you so much. But my friends, this is a very powerful month, as we all know, a super powerful month that leads into the divine appointments of Adonai, the divine appointments of the Lord. I mean, what could be better? So, my friends, this is the time, this is the moment. We see what's going on in the world. We see what's going on with individuals. People need prayer. People need deliverance. People need intercession. And it's for us to do that. The set-apart believers to do that. Not saying that we don't need it, but they definitely need it because they're not set apart. So again, none of us is perfect. But again, the heart posture to be set apart, you're already set apart because your heart posture is trying to be set apart. You see? And we'll only be set apart truly when we're glorified. So, we're all trying to get to that point before we're glorified to be truly set apart. So, this is a very incredible month, a very incredible time to be alive when you look at the biblical prophecies. Is it ugly? Yes, it's ugly. Of course, it's ugly. The end of the age will definitely be ugly. That's what Yeshua the Messiah said in Matthew 24. So, this is going to be an ugly scenario, but we've got to overcome that with good and prayer and intercession and things like that, and to overcome with people and give people health as well, or when I say health, bless people with their health and well-being as well. So, this is a very important time just in general, you know, and of course, the month of Elul, but this is a very important time as we go into the fall feast days with what's going on in the world. And remember, we've had two solar eclipses on the Feast of Trumpets the last two years. We don't have one this year, but again, just understand that that means judgment of the nations. That the solar eclipse is over. And then you have the Feast of Trumpets, which again is the weighing in the balance of all the nations and the individuals. So, my friends, for us in the United States of America, this is a very important time to pray into for our country and for the believers here, and also for the citizens here. And I'm sure wherever you are now, whether it's Canada, Mexico, the Middle East, or Europe, or Australia, or wherever it may be, this is a very important time for all nations to get right with Elohim. So, my friends, we can't overstate it. This is a very important appointment that we have with the Most High for 40 days. It's kind of like the counting of the Omer, but it's just the 40 days to the fall feast days instead of First Fruits to Shavuot. So, thank you so much for being with us tonight, everybody. We wish you a very happy new month. We wish you a great month ahead. Rosh Chodesh, everybody, to my Jewish friends as well. And we hope everybody has a blessed time with the Lord, being set apart with the Lord as we prepare ourselves for the beautiful fall feast days here in the fall. So, that being said, we'll go to the chat real quick. Miss Denise, Shalom to you. Rosh Chodesh to you. We hope you guys have a great month ahead. Mr. Michael, Shalom to you as well. We hope everything's well. We hope you got your technical stuff figured out as well. We hope all is okay. And we hope you have a great month ahead, my friend. Miss Sandra, thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you as always. Shalom to you. And again, Rosh Chodesh to you as well. And we hope you and your family have a beautiful month. Mr. Michael, "I love God's appointed times." Amen and hallelujah to that. I second that emotion, as someone said one time. Shalom to you, my friend. I'm not going to try to pronounce that, but thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate it. We hope everything is going well, and we hope you have a great month ahead. Rosh Chodesh to you and your family. Praise Yah. Thank you, brother, for all that you do. Hallelujah. Like, share, and subscribe. Well, thank you very much for that. And we really appreciate you being a part of this. And please like, share, and subscribe if this has ministered to you, which it has ministered to me as well. Miss Denise, Isaiah 27:4: "Trust in the Lord, for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength, because He is my strength, He is my song, and He has become my salvation." Amen. Shalom, Miss Loretta. Thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you. We hope all is well in California, and we hope you have a great month ahead. Rosh Chodesh to you and your family. Mr. Michael, "I love Yeshua." Amen to that. Mr. Michael, "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful." Amen. And also Ariel, if I pronounced that okay, Ariel Teshuvah, how beautiful is that? It's the month of Teshuvah, right? So, thank you so much for joining us. Rosh Chodesh to you and your family. We hope you guys have a great month. I love your name, Ariel, and also Teshuvah, of course. Praying for you, bro. I really appreciate it. I can receive all the prayers as possible, for sure. Thank you so much, Mr. Roland. Thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you. We hope all is well in the beautiful state of Arkansas. You guys are staying cool down there. And thank you so much for joining us. Rosh Chodesh to you, my friend, and to your family. We hope you have a great month ahead, and we will catch up soon. Luke 3:21-22 says Yeshua came to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, quoting Isaiah 61:2. Now we know how to walk out. Number four, the way God intended us to. Yeshua is the expressed image of His Father. And He's talking about the Sabbath. Number four, because as it was His custom, as it was Yeshua's custom, that means He did it all of His life. He went into the Sabbath. And my friends, if He did not break the Sabbath, then He would not have been perfect. He wouldn't have not have been the Son of God. He wouldn't have been the King of Israel. He wouldn't have been the Jewish Messiah. So, He was perfect. So, of course, He obeyed His Father's commandments. Roland, if I've taken number four out of context, if you weren't talking about the Sabbath, then please, of course, correct me on that. I've seen the face of Joshua. He looks like the Shroud of Turin. No joke. Time is so, so close. That is correct. Tom's very nigh. Yes. And he stole my cousin's bike because he wasn't watching. So serious. All right. Mr. Michael, "My mom didn't raise me up with the appointed times." Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but guess what? You know the appointed times now, and you are on the appointed times now, and we pray for your mother to cross over as well to the true appointed times as well. We pray for her. We intercede for her. So, this is a beautiful time, my friend Michael, to intercede for your mother during the month of repentance, during the intercession time before the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur, to pray that she gets the revelation that she will need to cross over to the true ways of God. So, my heart goes out to you, and I will be praying with you for your mom to cross over. Amen. He is earthly. He is earth something. I'm not sure if I can pronounce that. "We are looking for Christ coming in the clouds." Amen. And amen. He's coming in the clouds. And He is in the clouds. Right. "Do not bow, but it will change your life when you see Him." The Spirit and Truth comes next. Feast of Trumpets. Christ ought to come. We pray it won't be this year, but we do pray every year that He will come. For sure. Exactly. And amen. And amen. Praise His holy name. Amen. And yes, the Holy Ghost is here. And it is the energy before the Spirit of Truth. Makes so much sense. Christ comes out of the clouds. Not sure what that entails with that. Amen. And then Mr. Michael, "Happy new month. Rosh Chodesh to you as well, my friend. Thank you so much." And Miss Linda, Shalom to you. Rosh Chodesh to you. We hope all is well, and we hope you have a great month ahead. And thank you so much for everything that you do. And again, we hope you have a great month ahead. Happy Rosh Chodesh, everyone. These teachings are a great blessing. Thank you, Chadwick. Pray Hallelujah for your faithfulness to our Messiah Yeshua and His kingdom. Well, thank you very much as well for all of you online with your heart posture as well for this month. Just like Miss Linda has said, thank you very much, my friend. Rosh Chodesh. Likewise to your brother. Praise God. You have answered so many answers because I didn't know how to fall on my knees. You see the face of the King. I was wondering, "Holy God, I pray this is not the devil." Let's see. Praise God for you, brother. As you have made that makes sense. Holy Ghost and death is in uncontrolled chaos. All makes sense now. Well, I'm glad that it does. Thank you so much. Praise the Lord. And if you seek Him, you will find Hawaii in paradise. Amen. Well, enjoy the beautiful paradise in Hawaii. It's a beautiful state, beautiful area. And my friends, Beia and Be Chills, Shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. Rosh Chodesh to you guys. We hope all is well in Southwest America, in Arizona. We hope you guys are doing well. We wish you a great month ahead. Rosh Chodesh, guys. Thank you so much for joining us. Blessings, family. Shalom, Chadwick, and happy month to all of us. Hallelujah. Amen. Praise God. Follow Christ and our Father only. No tarot cards. That is for sure. Yes. Amen. And you shall be able to manifest Christ's Holy Ghost as well. You'll see. And Miss Bridget, Rosh Chodesh to you. Thank you so much for joining us. We hope you guys are doing well, and we wish you a great month ahead. Again, thank you very much for being with us. And Miss Denise, 1 Timothy 2:1: "Exhort therefore that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men." Amen to that. "I can only pray. I am able to go humble and meek. Repent." Amen. And you shall see the Holy Ghost. The earthly. We are looking for a King that comes out of the clouds. And Miss Denise, thank you so much for joining us as well. We really appreciate it. And thank you so much for your posting of scriptures and your wisdom as... "The kingdom of God is now rising." Praise God. Amen. Okay. "Marriage vows were taken then." Praise God. "Stuff is so serious." June 1st, 2025, we're almost ready to go home. Not yet, but we're getting there, for sure. Hallelujah. Amen. And Tiny Loves Boston's one of my favorite handles. Shalom to you. Rosh Chodesh to you and your family. Thank you so much, as always. And we hope you guys have a great month ahead. Shalom. Moses was 80 years old. Yes, 80 years old. So his life was in three segments of 40. The first 40 years in Egypt, the second 40 in Midian, and then 40 years in Egypt, Sinai, Jordan, to the promised land. Amen. Thank you so much. "The food was more pure in Moses' day." That is for sure. That is absolutely for sure, isn't it? With all the stuff they put into the food today. Crazy. "All will return for nothing is true to loss." Hallelujah. "40 days as of yesterday. Eclipse is the Day of Atonement. Only God can do that." Yes. Yes. "They believe we're in the Jubilee year until October." Yes. "Much more much love and Aloha to your brother for all that you do." And he will ask if you are eating red meat also. Will you say yes or no? All right. And then Mr. Denise, "Doesn't debt get forgiven in the Jubilee year?" Actually, it's the seventh year of the Shmita cycle where the debts are forgiven. You can read that in Leviticus 25. The year of Jubilee may be so as well. But I know for sure the Shmita year, the seventh year, is when debts are released according to Leviticus 25. So the Jubilee year, they might do that as well. But I know for sure the Shmita. "As in the days of Noah, 40 days as of yesterday, the Day of Atonement this September 21st." That's right. So Yom Kippur is on September 21st this year. Okay. Amen, Bridget. Thank you so much. "Only Christ's bride has the line of David, the female lineage, and Yeshua is the seed." Amen to that. Right. Tiny Loves Boston's, the seed is Yeshua. So again, all of these understandings and confirmations that He is the Seed of David, He is the Seed of Abraham, and He's the only one that can do these things of the land and also with the throne and everything else. Amen to that. "It's almost time." Brothers and sisters, get excited. We're almost home. Listen to our Father. Stay in the Holy Scriptures. Amen to that. "The bride is or scapegoat crazy when I heard that. That makes sense why He comes for her. She was kidnapped from what was told." All right. Praise God. Amen. Thank you as well, my friend, for joining us tonight. We really appreciate it. Miss Denise, 1 Corinthians 6:2: "Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?" Well, that's very provoking. I like that. Very provoking.

Remember that He told the disciples they would sit on the 12 tribes of Israel, or rather, they would sit on the throne with Him and judge the 12 tribes of Israel. I always thought that was very interesting, that the disciples are the ones who judge the 12 tribes of Israel, not the original 12 tribe men. You see what I'm saying? Not Reuben, Simeon, Gad, you name it. It was going to be the 12 disciples that would judge the 12 tribes of Israel. I just thought that was very, very interesting, for sure. Amen. And amen to that, Miss Denise. Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Very simple statement, right, Denise? Very simple. If you love me, keep my commandments. Throughout the Holy Bible, it says, "Those who love God and keep his commandments." Okay? All throughout the book, Genesis to Revelation, it says that. Very important for our Christian friends to really understand that. Amen. And amen and amen to that in Yeshua. One new body and one new man, not two new bodies and two new men. One new body and one new man is what the goal is for the believing Jews and also the believing Gentiles. Yes. Praise God. Look at the Shroud of Turin. He looked spot on like that in my life. I kid you not. May God strike me. Well, if I lie, I shall not. I wouldn't say that, but okay, I got you. I got the point for sure that you have seen that. Go look. The Vatican says that what he looks like, not me, and it's spot on. The plasma energy that formed the image of the shroud. Praise God. So, uh, yes. So, they're talking about the shroud that people are talking about that was laid over Yeshua. And that's what this person is speaking of with that. Okay. "Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is going to be loosed in heaven." Much love and aloha, brother Chadwick. Well, aloha to you as well. Thank you so much for joining us and enjoy this beautiful month of Elul in paradise out in Hawaii. Yes. Listen for the trumpet sound. In Psalm 89, it says, "Blessed are those who do know the trumpet sound." And like I always say, whenever you see "blessed" in the Holy Bible, "Blessed is he," then "cursed is he who does not know the trumpet sound, the blessings and the curses." Blessed are those who do keep the commandments, that they will enter Jerusalem and partake of the tree of life in Revelation 22. Cursed are those who do not. Okay, so again, that's what Paul was trying to tell the Thessalonians in 1 Thessalonians 5. You'll be caught as a thief in the night if we don't know the times and the seasons. So go to Psalm 89. Blessed are those who know the trumpet sound, like our friend here has said. Okay, if not, cursed are those who do not know the trumpet sound. Okay, the blessings and the curses that Moses talks about in the Torah. Okay, we just have to understand that. Okay, because again, Paul said what he said as well to confirm that they will not escape. Okay, they'll be caught in the 10 days of awe because they don't know the times and the seasons of the Most High. So again, Psalm 89 confirms that. Blessed are those who do know the trumpet sound. Pray for the nations. Yes, ma'am. Everybody, whatever nation God puts on your heart, please intercede for them during this time. Pray for the US men who are struggling, as they have been on the vessels for over 200 days. Yes, it's like 250 days, I believe, just to be a little bit more crazy with it. But thank you so much for this Tiny Gloves Boston. I forgot to mention that last night when we were going through some of the catastrophes that we're seeing right now with the US government. Okay, but yeah, this is this is just absolutely a disgrace. Okay, this is absolutely get your blood boiling about our government not taking care of our soldiers. Okay, goodness gracious. I mean, these people have been over at sea for 250 days. Okay, if I'm wrong, then like she said, over 200 days. Okay, that is the longest that they've been out there. I mean, goodness, even World War I, two, they weren't out there that long off the coast of Okinawa. Okay, so they were only on there for like 150 days, the maximum. World War II was 70 days or 79 days or something like that, and our men and women are over there for over 200 days. I think it's like 250 days on the US, I believe, Lincoln, is what it is. They are. There have been reports of terrible food, okay? No fruit, no vegetables, just meat only because it's frozen. They can't get food to the people. I mean, this has turned into just an absolute disgrace with the US government over in the Persian Gulf. And we need to get our men and women back home so they can get with their families instead of floating on the sea for over 200 days in a war that you will never win over in Persia. So again, again, not to get on that tonight, but thank you so much for posting that because I saw that again today and I forgot to mention it last night on the video. And it is very important to realize that there's just bad sanitation on the ships. There have been fires on the ships, you know, during this process, bad food, soldiers committing or wanting to commit suicide, jumping over the ship. Okay, there have been like 10 cases that have been reported of that. So, if there have been 10 cases that are reported, then of course there have been more that have attempted that because you never know how many people have done that. And I just find that really, really disturbing, you know, that we have left our soldiers out again in the wind with these wars. Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan. I mean, here we go. You know, and now our soldiers are being treated like that. What a shame that is and embarrassing that is as a US citizen. Could you imagine being on a ship for over 200 days with bad food, bad sanitation, you know, the mentality and the morale of the ship is not great? I think they said that they've relieved the chaplain of the ships as well. So, who in the world is going to comfort these people? Who in the world is going to pray over these people if you get rid of the chaplain? I mean, just Pistol Pete and the Trump and the Donald needs to get it together and take care of our people overseas. That is for sure, because there are too many reports out there that are saying that they're not taking care of our men and women who are fighting a war that we can't win. But at the same time, we stand with our brothers and sisters over there fighting this war. Okay? And the government needs to wake up. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. You get it all here on faithful performance. Everybody choking, choking offline. I mean, you get it all. You get it all here. Okay. Sorry about that, everybody. Goodness gracious. Thank you, Bridget. Your health is most important. If I don't choke offline, then yes, it is. Thank you, everybody, for your grace with that. Thank you. Blessings be to you, brother. Be well and drink some water, please. Right. Please drink some water and quit coughing offline. Right, Miss Sandra. Sandra, blessing and healing of your throat, brother. Well, thank you very much. I received that. Denise, pray for those in Indiana. It's flooding there. Yeah, I did know that. So, yes, pray for people being flooded. There's been an earthquake in Colombia, a 7.4 earthquake. I mean, have you seen some of those pictures and those people there? Could you imagine that? They need a lot of prayer. They just got a president who, or election, a prime minister or president that's better than Lula was, the crazy, the crazy guy over in Colombia. So, they've got a decent guy now who's basically strengthened ties with Israel, which is a good thing. So, we need to be praying for the Colombians and really all people who God puts on our minds, because everywhere you look, Indiana, Colombia, Israel, Middle East, America, you name it, Europe, Australia, you're seeing some bad, bad things. Thank you, Denise, for that. Okay. Our energy is meeting our glorified body on the horse to ride with our King. The black like sackcloth of hair was yesterday. I truly feel. Yes. Remember the Shabbat. And Miss Bridget, bless you. Chadwick, will send to you my friend. Thank you so much for that. I do receive that. Thank you very much. And to you as well. May God bless you. Thank you so much for being part of everything. We really appreciate. And Miss Tiny Loves Boston's, thank you so much. I'm ready for Boston cream right now, you know, to get my throat right. But thank you so much as well for joining us and always being with us as well. All of you, all of you ladies and gents, we really do appreciate spending time with us, this much time with us on these videos. Thank you so much. And Dedicated to Yah. I love the handle. Thank you so much for joining us. Rosh Chodesh to you. We hope you have a great month ahead. Such is the character of those who seek Him, of Yakov who seeks Your face. Amen to that. Well, tonight, if I can speak, this month is a very important time to do just like what our friend posted here, to seek His face. Just like Moses sought His face, and just like the children of Israel, the Jewish people at Mount Sinai, they will meet Yeshua face to face. Yeshua will meet them face to face. Ezekiel 20 goes through that. He'll meet them again at Mount Sinai, where Yeshua says to flee to the mountains the last three and a half years. He will meet them face to face and reveal Himself, just like Joseph revealed Himself to the brothers once Judah repented. Once Judah repented, Joseph revealed Himself to all the brothers because he was in Egyptian clothes. Well, right now, Yeshua is in Egyptian clothes with the Christians. Okay. They got Him in Roman clothes, Egyptian clothes. You can't, they can't recognize Him. The Jewish people can't, through Christianity. Well, how could they? Goodness gracious, I can't recognize Him, and I was brought up in Christianity. So, of course, they can't see Yeshua in Christianity. And whenever the Jewish people, Judah, repents, okay, He's going to reveal Himself to them, and He will deliver the remnant of the Jewish people and of the Gentiles. Thank you so much for that. Beautiful. "Such is the character of those who seek Him, of Yakov who seeks Your face." Amen. And amen. Thank you so much, Jacob. Jacob, one who takes hold of the promise of Jehovah. Yah. Amen. And amen. Thank you so much for that. Very inspirational. Okay. Shalom to you, Manalise. I'm not sure if I pronounced that correctly. Please forgive me with my southern accent. Okay. But Manissi, Maneliss, maybe. So, shalom to you, Rosh Chodesh. Thank you so much for joining us. We hope you have a great month ahead, you and your family. Shalom and happy new moon. Thank you. Psalm 9:1. "Sing praises to Adonai who sits enthroned in Zion. Tell among the people His deeds." Amen. And what a powerful verse. Thank you so much for joining us, and we hope to see you again. I'll read it one more time. Psalm 9:11. Pretty interesting. 9:11. "Sing praises to the Lord who sits enthroned in Zion. Tell among the people Yeshua's deeds." Amen. And amen. And amen. Thank you so much for that. We hope you have a great month, and we hope to see you again. And Tiny Loves Boston's, 250 sounds correct. Something like that, you know. But yes, I think I heard that today at 250, so to speak. So, yeah, this is not good, everybody, you know, with our men and women being out there for 200, 250 days, whatever the case may be. And from what the reports that I've received, and I'm sure Tiny Loves Boston's going to confirm this and many other people, is that it's just not good. Sanitation, food, morale. Okay. I mean, what do you think to be on a ship for over 200 days at sea with no land? I mean, I would be jumping overboard as well. Okay. And I hope they don't do that. But I'm just saying, this is just a disgrace how our people are treated. Our veterans are treated, our military is treated. And whenever I talk about the Middle East and whenever I talk about America, it's never about the soldiers. It's always about the politicians, always, because of this kind of stuff we're talking about right now. Okay? Just no respect. And just like Bill Withers saying one time, "You can use me until you use me up." And that's the American government all over the place. Use them till you use them up. And they are our best people who protect our country. So again, this is just a, if we can't take care of our soldiers, then who in the world can we take care of? Okay? This is just common sense. I mean, this is what people do. This is what nations do: take care of your military, take care of your people, men, women, and whoever. Take care of them, okay? So that we have an army. Okay? Because there are too many reports out there that these people, the morale of the soldiers on this one ship, for sure, the USS Lincoln, is not good. Is not good at all. And I find it a disgrace that Pistol Pete is trying to cover this up and just say, you know what? Let's do better. Let's do better. That's all it takes. Let's do better. Let's do better for our men and women. Amen. Amen. Miss Bridget, good night and thank you. Well, good night to you as well. And Miss Denise, good night to you as well. So, on that cue, we'll say good night as well, since we're at the last of the chats. We really appreciate everybody for being with us tonight. If you were with us last night, we really appreciate it as well. And we'll be back with you here next week. We're going to take the weekend off to kind of recalibrate since we've had a busy week online with three videos, excuse me, three videos, and try to drink some water and get the throat right as well, okay? And rest a little bit. But we'll be back with you here next week with the next Hebrew letter. We have two left before we finish the Hebrew alphabet, and we'll be going through the Shin next week, and then the following week the Tav. And then next week we'll begin a series on the Day of the Lord, and also what that entails with the biblical scriptures, as we're seeing people take the Day of the Lord scriptures for right now instead of waiting on Yeshua to do the Day of the Lord with what's prophesied. So I wanted to go through that with three major prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. There will be three videos for that, and we'll begin the first video here next week on that. So for that information, we'd love to see you on the channel and go through that with you on that so that we can all get edified with what Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel prophesied about Yeshua, the second coming events, the Day of the Lord, and how the historical understanding of it bleeds into the prophetic understanding of it. Because it's talking about the Day of the Lord, it's not talking about history 2500 years ago. So with that being said, we'll be doing a three-video series on that with Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and we'll begin next week. And we'll also start to conclude the Hebrew alphabet with the Tav, with the Shin, and then with the Tav the following week. And once we get through the three videos of the Day of the Lord, we'll be pretty much at the Feast of Trumpets. And then we'll go through all of those feast days and all of these things as we get into the fall. So we hope to see you guys here on the journey to the feast of Yom Kippur, these 40 days that we're going through. And we really appreciate everybody being with us tonight, and we hope to see you guys here next week. So until that time, happy new moon, Rosh Chodesh. And we hope everybody has a great month, have a great weekend, have a great Shabbat, as we journey through this process that we are in. And my friends, we will see you here next week. And until that time, may God bless you, may He keep you, may His face shine upon you and give you His grace. May He lift up His countenance upon you and your family and give you His everlasting shalom. My name is Chadwick Harvey, and you've reached Faithful Performance. Good night, everybody. We'll see you next week. Shalom to you.
