Scripture:
B'resheet 1.1-19/ B'resheet 18.1-19(connects with B'resheet 21.) Vayikra 16.1-34/
Vayikra 23.1-44/ Tehillim 104.19-35
_____________________________________
The mention of the feast happened well before any Jew was ever in place, did you know the feast
(Moedim) are apart of the celestial creative process.
B'reshhet 1. verse 14 states: YHVH said, Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs(rsham-record)seasons(zman-appointed times)days(hemera-periods of time)and years(yowm-day,time,periods)
Also we see in Tehillim 104. verse 19-24 it states:
You(YHVH) made the moon to mark the seasons. And the sun knows when to set.
You bring darkness and it is night, the time when all forest animals prowl.
The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from YHVH.
The sun rises, they slink away and lie down to rest in their dens;
while people go out to their work laboring on till evening.
What variety(assortment,kind)there is in your works, YHVH(Says Dovid)
How many of them there are! In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your “creations”
We see in B'resheet chapter 1. It states, In the beginning YHVH created the heaven and the earth. The earth was unformed and void.
Which backs up Tehillim 104, There has been more than one creation, for the earth was already a created space and fermentation but nothing was in it, I don't know how long the first creation or several creations wore in place before YHVH decided to fill this Exnihilio(Greek meaning -out of nothing,something was created) with life, but water was already in place also, verse 2 states The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep, and the spirit of YHVH hovered over the surface of water. This water was in place before the seas, which means then logically at some creation, creative point YHVH created water in a pre-existent plan for a earth to come and all the events prove that, so what makes one disbelieve that creation was another creation when we read it in Genesis1.If you keep reading the scripture it talks about how YHVH filled this prior created form with water in it's dome. And then granted seed and so forth. This was not the first creation ill regardless of our limited minds. And the elements that filled this form filled it to set in creation- moedim( Appointed Feast, Times) So then the planets wore created to point to moedim, the sun and the moon were not created to be an object of worship, they wore created to be the Judaic spiritual calender pointing to moedim, let us dig in this concept which Leviticus 23 declares so well.

Messianic Halakha comes from the Hebrew word to mean, to walk. It is a term for rules and rulings that govern Jewish life. In this lesson we will cover of the messianic halakha listings we will cover the halakha importance of Moedim The Moedim Ha'Elohim (YHVH'S Appointed days) We have covered 1. Overview 2. Milah 3. Mikvah 4. Tefillah 5. Sh'ma 6. Tefillin 7. Amidah 8. Avinu and the ninth apparently is MOEDIM,
Moedim describes my appointed times, meaning they belong to YHVH not to us Jews. They are not Jewish feast- they are YHVH'S feast, The festivals which YHVH revealed in Torah are connected in creation itself, they wore established like B'reshith 2. when YHVH rested after six days of creation he rested, thus instituting Shabbat out of creation or the creative process itself- well before any Jews came to be, That is to say YHVH designed the universe itself (The sun and moon and the whole planetary system) in order to point to and regulate the festivals, I taught one Shabbat, that these Jews like Moshe, Avraham did not have a wonderful Jewish calendar like we have to help us remember the feast, they were given an eternal calendar, the changing seasons and illuminating times to show them thee appointed feast, moedim. Thus the Moedims are first and foremost apart of the creative order, not merely apart of the Brit made with Israel at Sinai, secondly the Torah of Yah explicitly states that the Moedim are to remain throughout all the generations continuously forever of Israel.
Shabbat- Ex 31.16- Pesach-HagHaMatzot-
Ex 12.14,17,42- Shavout- Lev 23.41/ Rosch Hashanah- Yom HaKippurim- Lev 23.31- Sukkot- Lev 23.41 Etc.
Therefore rather for an Israelite or for one attached(ger) to Israel through faith, there is to be one Torah for all- Num 15.16,29- Lev 16.29 -The implication is if Israel is commanded to do and keep the Moedim of YHVH throughout her generations, then the Gerim who are attached coverts to Israel through the faith of Avraham, Yitzchak, Ya'akov and his Moshiach Yeshua and equally privileged to keep YHVH'S appointed times.
The scriptures are clear that the victory of YHVH in the end time is manifest by his people, both Israel(Born ) and Israel(Ger) and they shall worship together- consider the prophecy of Isaiah, quoted by Yeshua as he cleared the temple mount, he said For my bayith will be called a bayith of Tefillah for all people(nations, gerim) Isaiah 56.7- Matt 23.13 -For my house will be called a house of prayer for all people.
Rabbi Rick Chaimberlin in his Yom T'ruah article as seen on www.petahtikvah.com states
We are introduced to the so called “feast of Israel” in Lev 23. This is really a misnomer, because in scripture the Holy days are never called “The Feast of Israel” It might be more accurate to call them
“ The feast of YHVH” which would be more accurately translated “Appointed times of YHVH.”
We will stop our quote at that period.
The Moedim will reveal Yeshua Ha'Mashiachs return according to the records. If we study the ancient biblical calender and then look forward on that same calendar it brings us to an end. The prophet Yoel spoke of the black suns and the blood red moons(Rosh Chodesh)before the end, before Mashiach return, we don't no when this time will come, but we do it will fulfill a Moedim , a season of YHVH'S appointed time, since moedim is centered on the concept of time, timing- that timing is kind of expressed in the meanings stated now
1.Edayin Then-
2.Zmah- Time appointed
3.Iddah- set time, yearly
4.Shebeth- rest (shabbat)
What is Time?
Generally when time is discussed in philosophy or in science including the works of classical Jewish views, it is understood as movement, or change, the movement of the planets, the ticking of a clock- as long as these things occur, there is time, if they cease, time ceases. In other words time is no more than the occurrence of physical events. In this paradigm once we accept the creation of shamayim and he'eretz (Exnihilo) It is simple conclusion that time began then as well, since time is no more than the events of the cosmos. The facts that we cannot fathom an absence of time is irrelevant, after all neither can we fathom an absence of heaven and the earth. In other words of space and matter in this way, Maimonides and most of the classic Jewish philosophers determine contrary to Aristotle. That time is a creation with a beginning (Moedim Elohim)
Time is a parameter of existence, time is immeasurable just as any object is not known in its essence by its measurement, so too with time, knowledge of change, movements, events. These are all measurements of time, any event presumes the existence of a continuum of time, in which that event occurs, To say that before there was nothing and then there was, already implies the existence of time(creations) thus creation presumes time and not the other way around.
Is Time Eternal?
In the sefer HaIkarim by Rabbi Yosef Albo- He interprets Maimonides in his study called Moreh Nevuchim as implying that this essential continuum of time, may be eternal without beginning, Beginning means so you can understand that it isn't a starting point, but a continuous reference, When Torah say beginning it is a continuous process of something prior done, not a starting point and i think webster understood that.
Beginning: To commence to enter on-an early stage,starting,the time or place of starting
Which is different from originating at a point where we see Yah placing seed, tree, and fowl- at the point of creating then it is an originating reference, but creation and creating are not the same references, we see points of creations and referencing of creating, nothing can create of itself, it can make or duplicate for only Yah can create. The resolution of the essential aspect of time was created void at the initial point of creation, The implication of this view is profound. In general when the Jewish medieval philosophers wished to logically demonstrate that the universe began they point to its essentially temporal nature as most do. Never the less of most Jewish opinions about time, time has no beginning for when we discover it's beginning from the framework of our minds something else has already prior conceived, so then when we read Genesis 1. we see beginning which beginning we don't see unless we really read the scripture accurately and each word and each connotation, such as having water before water was created, or having this sphere of cosmogony without having a physical existence that we would identify with, so the question is then when we read Genesis 1. which creation are we in? From my studies from a Judaic point and some from other references believe creation could have been thousands of years, or one day (Which is wrong)some think it could have been millions of years or trillions of years, I think it was six days and then Shabbat but i also think that the very first seventeen words which are In the beginning God(YHVH)
Here is my question to you educated few- When is a beginning ? If you cracked that code then you are truly a genius, well from my research beginning is a time when you start recording what already took place or in reference to YHVH the creations he created, how many years- I don't know and no body else either! We do realize that the moedim were put in place through the creative process or through the creations process of creos and that time set forward the feast of YHVH and further more they prepare the way of Yeshua and will be observed continuously after Yeshua returns as Ariel(Lion of the tribe of Judah) in the Yemei Ha'mashiach Acharit Ha'Yamin -The Messianic Era and end of days.
*Parashah Vayikra*
______________________________________
Torah: Vayikra 1.1-5
HafTorah: Yesha'yahu 43.21-44
Tehillim 104.19-24
{Theme: The Korban was a type of yeshua-till he came}
The word Vayikra means: He called, vayikra is also called: Torat Kohanim- The laws of the priest(Cohanim)
It largely deals with the Korbanos (Offering)that are brought in the Miskhan (Tent of Meetings, Tabernacle)
The first group of offering is called: Olah- burnt offering, The animal is brought to the entrance of the Miskhan, the one who brought the offering set his hands on the animal, It is slaughtered and the Kohen sprinkles( Kippurim) it's blood on the Altar. The animal is skinned and cut in pieces. The pieces are arranged, washed and burned on the Altar and the remainder is eaten by the Kohanim.
THE PROHIBITION: is the offering can't have any Chametz and honey in it- Leviticus 2.11
We know Chametz stands for sin, so sin can't be mingeld with Tshuvah.
What about Honey? One commentator stated that this debash symbolizes Humanism,
I think another thought is the honey was prior reserved as a promise, YHVH wasn't mixing a promise with Tshuvah, at least the ideal of honey in
Exodus 33.3/ Exodus 3.8- plus there is about another twenty or more scriptures which i will give you later. A land flowing with Milk(gala) and Honey(dbash,meli)
The third point, also a striking feature of honey's legacy in Jewish culture is that as a testament to the high value put on this particular food, The interpreters of the Jewish dietary laws have apparently made this reflection at this time, that anything taken from an unclean animal is forbidden, The classic teaching found in the rabbinical literature is that bees do not produce honey, but simply transport the nectar of flowers and store it as honey in their hives, not to mention the ancient semites attributed honey to the idol god Astarte, the pagan goddess of sexuality, fertility Etc.
The Peace offering-part of which is burnt on the Altar and part of which is eaten which comes from either Sheep, Cattle, Goat, Pigeon, Dove there are three kinds of peace offerings
1.The Thanks offering (Shelamim)
2.The votive offering
3.The free will offering
The thanksgiving offering: is a response to acts of divine benevolence
The Votive offering: is an offering prompted by fulfilling Mitzvot, granting petitions
The Free will offering: is an offering prompted by voluntary contributions
Vayikra deals with Korbanos- but there is a large section on Averah- Sin, Transgression- Yetzer Ra, Yetzer Tov- Purity and Impurity, or Impureness and pureness, The korban is not just mentioned in Torah- We see Korban in Matthew 5.23 Also. This Korban was and is a sacrifice, offering and a gift- The Hebrew word for korban comes from the root word Korav- meaning to come close, to come close again to YHVH.
The offering was meant to bring Bnai Yisrael back to YHVH from sin. There are five types of Korbanot in Torah regarding each type of sacrifice.
1.Olah- Burnt Offering
2.Minchah- Meal Offering
3.Shelamin -Peace Offering
4.Chatat- Sin Offering
5.Asham- Guilt Offering
We see this Korban for the second time in a New Testament- Brit Chadashah reference in Romans 12.1
of this Brit Ha'Mikdash- Temple within us, which is called Korban Chai- Living sacrifice, We are to continue offering up Korban even presently, Korban of self continuously before YHVH, The perfect lamb has come, and his coming hasn't done away with sin, if you don't let him remove me through Teshuvah, Tefillah, Davening, If you don't daven how can it be removed, If his coming has taken away sin, then it would be no sin, no the korban is inside, you must desire to offer this offering up of Teshuvah (repentance) and allow his Ruach Hokodesh to remove sin from your life, but if you are not willing even the Paschal Lamb Yeshua won't take your sins away, you must want him, and you must confess to him and offer up your own Korban, there isn't a need for the Kohanim to daven for you, of to burn the Olah for you, you have direct access to Yeshua yourself and he can move your sins through your own sacrificing of yourself for him, to him, for his glory, Yes he died for sin, but everyone wont accept him- some will die with sin, because they did not want this Korban which he fulfilled: The Paschal lamb is a Korban also of what's called: The Pesach sacrifice- The Korban was a type of Yeshua to come, of the 613 Mitzvot- 100 of them is on Korbanot excluding those Mitzvots that cover actual Temple sacrifices. The additional references of this Debash and Gala- Milk and Honey can be seen in
Exodus 13.5/ Leviticus 20.24/ Numbers 13.27/ Numbers 14.8/ Numbers 16.13-14/ Deuteronomy 6.3/ Deuteronomy 11.9/ Deuteronomy 26.9/ Deuteronomy 26.15/ Deuteronomy 15/ Deuteronomy 27.3/ Deuteronomy 31.20/ Joshua 5.6/ Song of Solomon 4.11/ Song of Solomon 5.1/ Jeremiah 11.5/ Isaiah 7.22/ Jeremiah 32.22/ Ezekiel 20.6/ Ezekiel 20.15
