UNDERSTANDING PENTECOST AND THE FEAST OF WEEKS

Andriyah777Leave a comment

Fifty days after the Savior had been resurrected, the disciples gathered in Jerusalem for the Feast of Weeks or Shavuot.

This important feast commemorated when Moses received the Law on Mount Sinai.

As the disciples celebrated with tens of thousands of other Jews from around the world, the Holy Spirit came down upon the disciples as flames of fire.

Today this is known as the day of Pentecost. As we better understand the historical background of the feasts, we can gain greater insight into the importance of Pentecost and our own worship of the Lord.

UNDERSTANDING PENTECOST AND THE FEAST OF WEEKS

The book of Acts shows how God fulfilled His ancient promises to restore His blessing to all the nations through the offspring of Abraham: YaHUsha of Nazareth.

In this video, we’ll explore how YaHUsha and the Spirit renew the people of Israel and prepare them to announce good news to the nations. This video was created by The Bible Project.

PENTECOST: Acts 1 – 7

PENTECOST

Pentecost is about the wheat harvest and is also called Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) because it is calculated by counting off 50 days after the 1st Sabbath after Passover.

The good seed of wheat represents believers/children of the Kingdom of Heaven.  John the Baptist prophesies that the Messiah will baptise the “wheat” with the Set Apart Spirit.

FEES VAN TABERNAKELS: JAHUSHA, ONS TABERNAKEL

Andriyah777Leave a comment

Omdat die huttefees die laaste van die sewe feeste was, het dit die religieuse seisoen voltooi.  Die getal sewe in die Woord verteenwoordig “voltooiing”.   Ons leer hieruit dat die Loofhuttefees die voltooide of afgehandelde werk van JaHUaH verteenwoordig in beide die teenswoordige tyd waarin ons leef en die lewens van individuele gelowiges. 

JaHUsha Messias is die tabernakel of woonplek van Elohiem.  In Hom het die volheid van Elohiem gewoon (Johannes 1:14; Kolossense 2:9) en Elohiem woon in ons midde deur JaHUsha Messias (Mattheus 18:20).

JaHUsha het beweer dat ons in Elohiem rus kon vind deur Hom.  Baie gelowiges soek JaHUaH se rus deur vir Hom te werk of iets van Hom te probeer kry.  Maar deur ‘n persoonlike verhouding met JaHUsha Messias, is Hy ons rus.

FEAST OF TABERNACLES: YAHUSHA IS OUR TABERNACLE

Andriyah777Leave a comment

Because the Feast of Tabernacles was the last of the seven feasts, it completed the religious season.  The number seven in the Bible represents completion.   We learn from this that the Feast of Tabernacles represents the completed or finished work of YaHUaH in both this present age in which we live and the lives of individual Believers.   Thus it corresponds to the last step in our walk with Elohim to reach spiritual maturity and rest in our souls.

YaHUsha Messiah is the Tabernacle or dwelling place of Elohim.   In Him dwelled all the fullness of Elohim (John 1:14; Colossians 2:9) and Elohim dwells in our midst through YaHUsha Messiah (Matthew 18:20).

YaHUsha claimed that we could find rest in Elohim through Him.  Many Believers seek YaHUaH’s rest by working for Him or trying to get something from Him.  But through a personal relationship with YaHUsha Messiah, He is our rest.

DIE GROOT VERSOENDAG EN ONS GELOOFSTOETSE

Andriyah777Leave a comment

Een aspek wat baie Gelowiges weerhou om JaHUaH se rus binne te gaan is …”om te weet hoe om beproewings die hoof te bied”.  

Ons ondervind almal probleme wat ons geloof beproef en ons gehoorsaamheid aan die geopenbaarde wil van JaHUaH vir ons lewens toets.  

Hoe ons gereeld op hierdie beproewings reageer, kan die verskil maak of ons JaHUaH dieper gaan leer ken of nie.  

Die Groot Versoendag is ‘n hulpmiddel wat JaHUaH ons gegee het om ons meer te leer oor JaHUsha Messias en hoe om die onvermydelike beproewinge wat elke gelowige konfronteer, te hanteer.

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT AND THE TESTING OF OUR FAITH

Andriyah777Leave a comment

One aspect which keeps many Believers from entering Elohim’s rest is … “knowing how to cope with trials”. 

We all experience difficulties which try our faith and test our obedience to the revealed will of YaHUaH for our lives.  

How we respond to these trials often can make the difference in whether or not we ever know the rest of YaHUaH.  

The Day of Atonement is a visual aid YaHUaH has given us to teach us about our Master YaHUsha Messiah and how to handle the inevitable trials that confront every believer.

FEAST OF TRUMPETS, OUR HORN OF SALVATION

Andriyah777Leave a comment

The Feast of Trumpets forms part of the Feast of Tabernacles.  The Feast of Tabernacles was celebrated at the end of the harvest season and was also called the Feast of Ingathering.  By this time the whole harvest was finished and the people rested.

The meaning is clear … YaHUaH wanted His Covenant People to learn to rest in Him.  As the Spiritual and Scriptural Israel of Elohim (Gal. 6:15 – 16), YaHUaH’s goal for Believers in YaHUsha Messiah is that we will find rest in Him.

YaHUaH used trumpets in the Old Testament to communicate with His covenant people.  They were always terrified when He spoke to them directly, so he spoke to them through the use of trumpets.  The sound of the trumpet was then representative of the “voice” of YaHUaH to the People, as well as of His power when there was war.

Originally, two silver trumpets were blown, but these were later replaced with the shofar.  It was blown to gather the people for worship, or to break up camp and move on as well as to sound the alarm to get ready for war.

Because YaHUaH spoke to the people in this way, and basically used trumpets to “fight their battles for them”, they started calling Him: “the Horn of Salvation”.

YaHUsha is the true Commander of the army of YaHUaH (Rev. 19:11-16).  When Zechariah heard that the Anointed One (Messiah) was born, he spoke these prophetic words …

“Blessed be YaHUaH, the Elohim of Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people, and hath raised up an Horn of Salvation in the house of David his servant”.  (Luke 1:68 – 69)

FEES VAN BASUINE, ONS HORING VAN VERLOSSING

Andriyah777Leave a comment

Die Fees van Basuine vorm deel van die Fees van Tabernakels. Die Fees van Tabernakels was gevier aan die einde van die oesseisoen en is ook genoem die Fees van Insameling.  Teen hierdie tyd was die hele oes afgehandel en die mense het gerus.

Die betekenis is duidelik … JaHUaH wou hê dat Sy Verbondsvolk moet leer om in Hom te rus.  As Geestelike en Skriftuurlike Israel van Elohiem (Gal. 6:15 – 16) is JaHUaH se doelwit vir Gelowiges in JaHUsha Messias dus dat ons in JaHUsha sal rus vind.

JaHUaH het in die Ou Testament trompette gebruik om met Sy verbondsvolk te kommunikeer.  Hulle was altyd ontsettend bevrees as Hy direk met hulle gepraat het.   Hy het dus met hulle gepraat deur die gebruik van trompette. Vir die Volk was die geluid van die basuin dan verteenwoordigend van die “stem” van JaHUaH, asook van Sy mag wanneer daar oorlog gevoer was. 

Oorspronklik is twee silwer trompette geblaas, maar dit is later vervang met die shofar.  Dit is geblaas om die mense bymekaar te maak vir aanbidding, of om kamp op te breek en verder te trek asook om alarm te maak om gereed te maak vir oorlog.

Omdat JaHUaH so met die mense gepraat het, en basies trompette gebruik het om “hulle gevegte vir hulle te veg”, het hulle Hom begin noem: “die Horing van Verlossing“.

JaHUsha is die ware Kommandeur van die leër van JaHUaH (Open. 19:11- 16). Toe Sagaria gehoor het dat die Gesalfde (Messias) gebore is, het hy hierdie profetiese woorde gespreek …

“Geloofd sy JaHUaH, die Elohiem van lsrael, omdat Hy sy volk besoek het en vir hulle verlossing teweeg gebring het, en ‘n Horing van Verlossing opgerig het in die huis van Dawid, sy kneg — soos Hy gespreek het deur die mond van sy afgesonderde profete van ouds af — redding van ons vyande en uit die hand van almal wat vir ons haat.”  (Luk. 1:68 – 69)

BARABBAS

Andriyah777Leave a comment

Two thousand years ago, the choice was on the table.  The Jews of that time had to make a choice: 

Elohim with a Son, or an elohim without a son.  

Were they going to accept YaHUsha as the Messiah or not?

In Matt. 27:16 – 26 and similar places in the other gospels we read about Barabbas.  It’s “BarAbbas”, Son (bar) of the father (Abba-s).  But which father?
