Friends, my name is Chadwick Harvey. You've reached Faithful Performance. Thank you so much for joining us tonight as we celebrate and proclaim the new month of Cheshvan, which is the eighth month on the biblical calendar. Starting with the biblical calendar from Nisan, we're going to go through that briefly, as we just came out of the month of Tishrei at sundown tonight.
It's going to be an awesome month ahead. It's one of those quiet months, but filled with great revelation — just as we've been speaking of once we come out of the seventh month. Whether you've been with us throughout this journey or are joining us now, we have been on a journey from Nisan to Tishrei. These first seven months, from Nisan to Tishrei, are very important. They are a spiritual purification journey — a very in-depth purification journey, as all of you who have been with us know, and as many of you have been pursuing on your own time as well.
We really appreciate everyone joining us tonight as we enter into a new season, new beginnings, a new wine skin. We have a lot of great information for you to meditate upon and pray into as we enter into a new month at the end of fall and going into winter. These next five months are very important as we set ourselves up for Nisan and get ready for the new biblical year that begins on Nisan 1.
I won't go through the whole trajectory tonight — I've covered that in other videos during the feast days. If you'd like to see the trajectory we've been on since Nisan 1 through Tishrei and the feast season, those videos are available. I hope everyone had a wonderful feast season. As we enter into this new month, these new beginnings, we take the root of everything we've learned and everything we've been purified through in these first seven months. That root is going to germinate during this month, on through the winter months, and then blossom in the springtime for every one of us from the courts of heaven. That's the overall trajectory in summary, and we'll go through each month in detail when we reach its new moon. Tonight, though, we explore the month of Cheshvan.
It's the eighth month of the biblical calendar, and it's a truly important month. There are no feast days, no fast days — it's just you and the Lord. That's what it's about. It's intimate and quiet, a time to really meditate and ponder upon what we've learned and the purification we've been on since Nisan. As we enter into this month, when things quiet down and it gets dark a little earlier, it's a beautiful time to reflect on what he has done for all of us, and to allow that root to germinate — all the things we've been praying for, for ourselves, for our families, for everything we've brought before the courts of heaven.
Thank you for joining us tonight. We're going to go through the information, and I know many of you are familiar with these things, but it's good to go through it again to establish the standard of what the new moon is. Every new moon is a time for renewal — just as the moon renews itself, it's a symbolic invitation for us to renew ourselves. It's similar in that way to the Shabbat: every Shabbat is a renewal and a rest, setting us up for the coming week. The new moon functions the same way. It's a remarkable thing when we look at its symbolic meaning, and that's why we want to use it to renew and rededicate ourselves. So don't forget to anoint yourselves with oil and let your cup overflow, as Psalm 23 says.
We have a lot of great information tonight. It's a really engaging month. Even without feast days or fast days, it's a beautiful month ahead, filled with the anointings we'll discuss tonight.
So let's begin. We hope everyone had a wonderful month of Tishrei — it's one of those revelation months that is truly phenomenal. Now we step into new beginnings.
It's all about being set apart, friends. We must be set apart in Yahweh. As it says in Exodus 19:6, "And you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." It's so important to identify with what Moses declared here at Mount Sinai — to the new body, the one new body, one new man, Jew and Gentile together, who had just crossed the Red Sea days before Shavuot. Look at what Yahweh told Moses to write: you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
Sometimes we forget that it was Jew and Gentile together there — it wasn't the Jewish people only. Pharaoh's daughter was there, many of the Egyptians were there, and who knows how many other people from the nations, given what the Lord God had just done through the ten plagues in Egypt. Please understand that in Exodus 19:6, the standard is clear: we are to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. And in verse nine — which I didn't include on the scrolls — God told Moses that he was going to make the people believe him forever. That's a significant statement. We are to believe Moses forever. We are to follow what Moses received at Mount Sinai so that we can be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
That standard echoes through the book of Deuteronomy. Moses reiterates it in Deuteronomy 14:2: "For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be the people for himself, a special treasure above all the people who are on the face of the earth." When Moses wrote Deuteronomy, he was summarizing the Torah and the commandments, and he wanted to reiterate what he had spoken in Exodus 19:6 — to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
In 1 Peter 2:7–10, in the New Testament, Peter confirms the same thing, extending it to the Gentiles as well. He writes: "Therefore, to you who believed, he is precious. But to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they were also appointed. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light — who once were not a people but now are the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy."
Peter is simply confirming what the prophet Moses said to the people in the Torah, aligning everything for the believing Jews and the believing Gentiles together. We need to be one new body, one new man. The kingdom of priests and holy nation runs from the Torah all the way through the New Testament, even to the book of Revelation.
In Revelation 1:6, John writes: "From Yeshua — to him who loved us and washed us from all of our sins in his own blood, and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father — to him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."
All the way from Exodus to Revelation, we are called to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Look at what the Apostle John wrote: to him who loved us, Yeshua, and washed us from all of our sins in his own blood — he has made us kings and priests to his God and Father. He is relating it to the beautiful Torah. We must match all of these things, from the Torah to the book of Revelation. It is the same message, over and over, for all believing Gentiles to understand: we must come into the commonwealth of Israel, the kingdom of Israel, to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. It is believing Jews and believing Gentiles together. That's what Paul wrote in most of his letters — he wants us to be the one new body, the one new man, not two separate bodies.
From Exodus through Revelation, from the Torah to Revelation, the message is consistent: even with Messiah's blood, we cannot be rebellious or disobedient. As Peter said in 1 Peter 2:7–10, those who are disobedient cause the stone the builders rejected to become the chief cornerstone — a stone of stumbling. Peter is pointing us back to what Moses declared in Exodus 19:6 and verse 9, where God said he would make the people believe Moses forever — not just until the first coming, not until the second coming, but forever. Because that is the new covenant: to have the Torah on our hearts and in our minds, along with the blood of the Lamb.
The prophets prophesied this standard in Jeremiah 31:31, Isaiah 59 and 60, and Ezekiel 36. He wants us to be the one new body, one new man, receiving Yeshua as our Savior while also following the commandments — the Torah on our hearts and in our minds. Then we become that kingdom of priests and holy nation. It's really beautiful. We simply have to receive it. We have to have a paradigm shift, friends. Most of us on this channel have already had that paradigm shift, understanding that we must follow the Father's ways, honor him, revere him, and get back to the Father. People are forgetting the Father's voice. We must return to the Father and his voice and understand the standard he wants his children to live by. Even with the blood of the Lamb, we are to follow his commandments — just as Yeshua said in John 14:15: "If you love me, keep my commandments." That's the same thing Moses said. If you love him, keep his commandments. If you obey, he will bless you.
People don't always realize what Yeshua said in John 14:15 is a reflection of the Mosaic covenant within the new covenant — if you love me, if you do good, then I will bless you. It speaks of the land: obedience brings blessing; disobedience brings removal from the land, so to speak. We have to understand the concept in that context.
It's all the same message, from Sinai to the second coming. He wants all believing Jews and believing Gentiles to worship together — one new body, one new man. It's such a beautiful thing, and most of us are being set apart right now. We're seeing the Jewish people come to Yeshua. We're seeing people like myself, who was not in the Torah, come to the Torah. All of you as well. It's a truly beautiful thing when we come together as one. The conversations flow easily. Everyone is on the calendar. Everyone is observing the appointed days. Everyone is on Shabbat. And that is the way it will be forever, friends. We will be with our Savior forever once we reach the millennial kingdom, receiving the teachings at his feet.
