In this segment: Chadwick highlights the renewed importance of the new moon festival and connects it to the Davidic Covenant, where God promises to establish David's throne forever, with the moon as a faithful witness. He explains that in the millennial kingdom, the temple gates will be open on Sabbaths and new moons, emphasizing the need to worship God in spirit and truth according to His calendar.

Transcript of this segment

So, again, it was a big event, the new moon festival, and now it has come back to be a big event in Israel now since 1948. So, we'll read the Davidic Covenant. I think this is very important when we look at the new moon festival and what the faithful witnesses in the sky are, and also the covenant made with David, the Davidic Covenant. And let's read how beautiful this is and what He relates it to. "I have made my covenant with my chosen; I have sworn to my servant David: 'Your seed I will establish forever, and I will build up your throne to all generations.' 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, with whom my hand shall be established; also my arm shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him, nor the sons of wickedness afflict him.

I will beat down his foes before his face and plague those who hate him. My covenant I will not break, nor alter the words that have gone out of my lips. Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David. His seed shall endure forever. As his throne, as the sun before me, it shall be established forever like the moon, even like the faithful witness in the sky.'" Amen. So, my friends, right there in Psalm 89, God says His two faithful witnesses in the sky are the sun before His throne and the moon, the everlasting faithful witness in the sky. So, again, you see it right there, "it shall be established, faithful witness in the sky." So, my friends, again, the sun and the moon are God's faithful witnesses in the sky. We have to understand how they do operate. And that does go back into Genesis 1:14. And also in Jeremiah 33, we get another understanding as well. "Thus says the Lord: 'If My covenant is not with day and night, the sun and the moon, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, then I will cast away the descendants of Jacob or Israel, and David My servant, so that I will not take any of His descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

For I will cause their captives to return and I will have mercy on them.'" Amen. Okay. So, now let's look at the two great understandings of the new moon festival, or the new month festival. How we'll be celebrating this in the millennial kingdom, and we'll also be celebrating this in eternity as well. It's pretty amazing how consistent Yahweh is on these things. Very consistent on His ways. Okay. So, this is the millennial kingdom in Ezekiel 40 through 48. Those are millennial kingdom chapters. If one's not familiar with what that means, that means when Yeshua, Jesus, is going to reign for a thousand years on this earth from Jerusalem. That's called the millennial kingdom, His thousand-year reign from Jerusalem. Will we be keeping the new moon festival during that thousand years? In Ezekiel 46:1, "Thus says the Lord God: 'The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be open, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened as well.'" So, my friends, very important.

The inner gates of the temple are only open a few times a month. Specifically, they are open on the Sabbath and the new moon. Ezekiel 46:1 states, "Thus says the Lord God, the gateway of the inner court that faces towards the east shall be shut six working days. But on the Shabbat it will be open four times a month and on the day of the new moon it shall be open." This highlights the importance of the new moon festival, which is placed next to the fourth commandment, the Sabbath.

In the millennial kingdom, the inner gates will be open every month for a thousand years. This is a significant point for Christians to consider, as it suggests a future where celebrating the new month will be a regular occurrence. We should begin to practice this now as a rehearsal.

Looking towards eternity, Ezekiel 66:22-24 says, "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 it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me, says Adonai." This indicates that the celebration of the new moon and Sabbath will continue forever in the new heavens and new earth.

Both Ezekiel and Isaiah prophesy that we will be celebrating the new moon festival every month, forever. This is a profound truth that needs to be shared with those who are unaware. The church has often overlooked this, but it's a vital part of our eternal worship.

It's amazing that God is so consistent and has recorded this in His testimony: we will be celebrating the new month forever, for a thousand years on earth and then eternally in the new Jerusalem. We should all be on board with this and celebrate it with the right heart posture.

Exodus 12:49 is very important: "One Torah, one law shall be for the nativeborn Jew and for the Gentile stranger who dwells among you." This has always been the standard, and there is no room for higher laws or replacement theology. Many religious leaders today are out of their minds and leading people astray.

Numbers 15 echoes this, stating there is only one way, not multiple ways. This one way is for both Jew and Gentile, as Romans 11, Ephesians 2, and Galatians 3 all discuss the one new body and one new man in Messiah.

It's incorrect to think that in the millennial kingdom, Christians will be celebrating Christmas and Easter while Jewish people celebrate the feast days. There will be one way, and it will be a heavy dose of the Father's commandments, the Torah. Those who disagree, especially Christians, need to re-read the Bible and get into alignment. Simply believing in Jesus is not enough; even the demons believe and tremble.

As James, or Yakov, Yeshua's brother, states, "faith without works is dead." We need both faith and works, worshiping in spirit and truth. We must understand what the scriptures truly say. There is no middle ground; it's all in or get out, like Noah's ark or the wise and foolish virgins in Matthew 25.

We must follow Him, pick up our cross, and follow Him. There is only one way, and we need to get back to that. He is one, holy, and set apart, and we must find that set-apart way, which is hard and narrow. We must stay in the Bible, out of the world, and stay in tune.

We can all fall or be deceived. Admitting this is a healthy approach. We must stay on the standard and values, and the calendar is the standard that will guide us through spirit and truth with our Savior Yeshua the Messiah.
