1st Day of Unleavened Bread: Sanctifying the Firstborn

April 18, 2022 • Arthur Bailey

1st Day of Unleavened BYeHoVaH said that Israel (the New Nation of Israel, not the man Israel) was His firstborn.  To Sanctify is to set apart, to consecrate, to make holy. By sanctifying the firstborn, man has been given the ability to hallow or make holy that which has been given to him by YeHoVaH.

 

We are commanded to be Holy as YeHoVaH is Holy. To be holy, as YeHoVaH is Holy, requires observing those things that YeHoVaH made Holy.

 

·       YeHoVaH Sanctified the seventh day, Sabbath. 

·       YeHoVaH instructed Moses to Sanctify His people.

·       YeHoVaH instructed Moses to Sanctify His Priests.

·       YeHoVaH instructed Moses to Sanctify His Tabernacle.

·       YeHoVaH commanded His people to Sanctify themselves.

 

YeHoVaH made Covenant with man, beast, and the earth. Everything in relationship with the Creator of Heaven and Earth is expected to be Holy, for He is Holy! read

Passover 2022: The Lord’s Passover

April 17, 2022 • Arthur Bailey

The Biblical Passover is introduced to us by YeHoVaH’s Instructions to Moses to instruct His people how to prepare for the last and final plague that He would put on Egypt to force Pharaoh to let His people go. YeHoVaH had made a promise to Abraham that He would bring his offspring out of bondage with great substance. On the first day of Unleavened Bread, YeHoVaH fulfilled that promise.   Pesach aka Passover is a Sacrifice Not a Day.  At its heart, Passover is a memorial established by YeHoVaH to remind Israel of what YeHoVaH did to Egypt’s firstborns and how He spared the Hebrews’ firstborns from the plague of death by the sign of the blood of a sheep or a goat on the doorposts of their houses.   Do we celebrate Passover because Yeshua was crucified on Passover? NO.   As we gather to celebrate this Passover, like the thousands of Passovers that have been celebrated before, let us remember the awesome power of deliverance of YeHoVaH Almighty, our Most High, the One True Elohim, and The Only Wise and Living God! 

7th Day of Unleavened Bread: Sanctified to Speak

April 24, 2022 • Arthur Bailey

Throughout the Old and New Testaments YeHoVaH has commanded that His Word was to always be in the mouth of His people. The people were to proclaim the Law/Word of YeHoVaH from their mouth. Why must the people of YeHoVaH speak the Word of YeHoVaH to one another and to the people of the world? First, Hearing the Word of YeHoVaH Develops Faith in YeHoVaH. We cannot develop the Faith of YeHoVaH apart from the Word of YeHoVaH. Second, the Just Shall Live by Faith. Third, We Need Faith to Please YeHoVaH. Finally, Yeshua Commanded His Disciples Before He Ascended: Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. This Teaching concludes with: - The Instructions on Bringing the Firstfruits - The Prayer for Firstfruits - The Instructions and Prayer for Third Year Tithes

Feast of Weeks/Day of Pentecost 2022

June 12, 2022 • Arthur Bailey

The Purpose of Pentecost has Not changed from when YeHoVaH Commanded it and gave His Instructions for observing it! Man has changed the focus of Pentecost, NOT YeHoVaH. The purpose of Pentecost is ONLY revealed in the Torah. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is NOT a fulfillment of Pentecost. The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit is a fulfillment of Joel 2. The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit is a fulfillment of the promise of Father as stated by Yeshua in Acts 1. The purpose of this Feast was to: • Commemorate the completion of the wheat harvest. • Remember being slaves in Egypt. • Remember to follow YeHoVaH’s decrees. • Rejoice for the blessings bestowed upon YeHoVaH’s people. • Make the connection between the Firstfruits of Unleavened Bread and The Fiftieth Day. • Celebrate the harvest and provisions of YeHoVaH.
