One in Messiah Congregation
Shabbat Shalom
Sept. 27, 2008
God has His own calendar
We are in the 6th month, 26th day
No name in scripture for the 6th month.
(End of August / September)
Judaism calls Elul, the 6th month.
We can't verify this by the Hebrew Scriptures.
Neh.6 [15] So the wall
was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul אֱלוּל, in fifty and two days.
---------
This is not the last month of the year. It is the 6th month.
Next month is the 7th month, not New Year, Rosh ha Shannah nor when
the world was created
The 7th month is called ha Ethanim,
1 Kings 8:2,
Not "Tishrei" which is
not found in the Hebrew Bible
--------------
Judaism has it all wrong and so do some of the Messianics
which are teaching the Protestant churches
-----------
Question:
Why are we here today?
Answer:
We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy
---
The 4th Commandment
The Sabbath is a part of the covenant given to us at Mount
Sinai.
Exod. 20
[8] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD
thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath, as they did in the
Acts of the Apostles.
60 times in the Gospels and letters it uses the word Sabbath
Torah Portion - Parshah
Nitsavim נִצָּבִים (you stand) Dt. 29:10(9)-30:20, Is. 61:10-63:9, Rom. 10:1-12
Deut.29 [10] Ye
stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of
your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel...

Topic:
Shadows of “things to come”
The feasts and holydays of the Lord are all about the
Messiah
Colossians 2:16: Let no
man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of
an holyday , or of the new moon, or of
the sabbath days: 17: Which are a shadow of "things
to come"; but the body is of Messiah /
Christ.
----------
Let's go over a few words here in Greek:
judge - κρινω krino: to try to
condemn, to separate, put asunder, to pick out, to be of opinion, judge, to
pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong, to contend, to dispute
holyday εορτη heorte -heh-or-tay' - a
festival: - feast, holyday.
shadow σκια skia : shadow,
an image cast by an object and representing the form of that object, a sketch,
outline

"The Feasts of the Lord"
"Time to look back and a time to look forward"

remember this of blowing of trumpets
Exodus 19
1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth
out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. 2 For they were
departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert
of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the
mount. 3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of
the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the
house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the
Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now
therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall
be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy
nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak
unto the children of Israel. 7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and
laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. 8 And all the people
answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And
Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. 9 And the LORD said unto
Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I
speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses
told the words of the people unto the LORD. 10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and
sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash
their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day : for the third day
the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the
people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the
mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth
the mount shall be surely put to death: 13 There shall not an hand touch it,
but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it
shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they
shall come up to the mount. 14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said unto the
people, Be ready against the third day: come not at
your wives.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning , that
there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud
upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet
exceeding loud ; so that all the people
that was in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet
with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it
in fire :
and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount
quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the
trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai ,
on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount;
and Moses went up.
21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest
they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of
them perish. 22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify
themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst
us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. 24 And the LORD
said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt
come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people
break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. 25 So Moses went
down unto the people, and spake unto them.
Exod. 20 The 10 Commandments

Shadows of "things to come"
a long sound of a trumpet, a shout, people ascend
Psalms 47:5 God
is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
1Thessalonians
4:16 for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Messiah / Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.
18 Wherefore
comfort one another with these words.

the seventh day
Gen.2[1 ] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
and all the host of them.[2] And on the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on
the seventh day
from all his work which he had made.[3] And God blessed the seventh day,
and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made.
The seventh month
Exod.23[ 14] Three times
thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. [15
] Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread:
(thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I
commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib;
for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall
appear before me empty:)[16] And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which
thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the
end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours
out of the field.
Exod.34[ 22] And thou shalt observe the

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them
out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jer.17[ 13] O LORD, the
hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart
from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters .
Rev.21[1 ] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the
first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
[2] And I John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband.
[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be
his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.[4] And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for
the former things are passed away.[5] And he that sat upon the throne
said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these
words are true and faithful.[ 6] And he said
unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely.[ 7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son.
Isa.12[1 ] And in that day thou shalt
say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast
angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Memorial - Let's
remember this of blowing of trumpets
Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up
because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty
men of valour.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round
about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns : and the seventh day ye shall compass
the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long
blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet
, all the
people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall
down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. ( just like
1Thessalonians 4:16 -18 )
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them,
Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests
bear seven trumpets of rams' horns
before the ark of the LORD.
7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and
let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that
the seven priests bearing the seven
trumpets of rams' horns passed on before
the LORD, and blew with the trumpets:
and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed
them.
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets , and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and
blowing with the trumpets .
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout,
nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your
mouth, until the day I bid you shout ; then shall ye
shout.
11 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once:
and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning , and the
priests took up the ark of the LORD.
13 And seven priests bearing seven
trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of
the LORD went on continually, and blew with the
trumpets: and the armed men went before
them; but the rereward came after the ark of the
LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the
trumpets.
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned
into the camp: so they did six days.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day , that they rose early about the
dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times : only on that
day they compassed the city seven times.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time , when the priests
blew with the trumpets , Joshua said unto the
people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are
therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall
live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the
messengers that we sent.
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest
ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the
camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are
consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the
trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet , and the people shouted with a
great shout , that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into
the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and
woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. ( sinners lost )
22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the
country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all
that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren,
and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them
without the camp of Israel.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only
the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into
the treasury of the house of the LORD.
25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot
alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the
messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed
be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation
thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of
it.
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout
all the country.
Matthew 24:
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet , and they
shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other.
Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood
before God; and to them were given seven
trumpets .
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound , the mystery of
God should be finished , as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

By the way, here is the real Rosh Hashanah in scripture:
The first
month, in the Spring - Aviv / Nisan - Passover
Exod.12[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land
of Egypt, saying,[2] This month shall be unto you the
beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
Exod.13[1]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,[2] Sanctify
unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the
womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. [3]
And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from
Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought
you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.[4] This day
came ye out in the month Abib ( Aviv = Spring ).
Lev.23
[5] In the fourteenth day of the "first
month" at even is the LORD's passover.
Deut.16[1] Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto
the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD
thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
Esther 3:7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan...
