Feasts of YeHoVaH 2022
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!
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
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.
The Day of Trumpets – Truth and Traditions
September 28, 2022 • Arthur Bailey
The Day of Trumpets/Yom Teruah is the first day of the Latter Feasts of YeHoVaH. The Latter Feasts also encompass The Day of Atonements, the seven days of Tabernacle/Sukkot and its Firstfruits, and The Eighth Day/Shemeni Atzeret. YeHoVaH commanded His people to celebrate these Feasts in commemoration of the deliverance from bondage that the Children of Israel experienced in the land of Egypt and as well as their wandering in the wilderness. Over the centuries, many traditions have been incorporated in teachings on the Feast Day of Trumpets that has made it difficult for believers today to discern and distinguish Biblical truth from the many traditions associated with the Day of Trumpets. Join us in this teaching on The Day of Trumpets – Truth and Traditions as we reveal the truth associated with the Feast so that the traditions will be exposed.
Tabernacles/Sukkot 2022
October 12, 2022 • Arthur Bailey
The Feast of Tabernacles is a commanded 7-day Feast of YeHoVaH and one of the three Pilgrimage Feasts. It is celebrated from the 15th day through the 21st day of the 7th month. The Feast of Tabernacles commemorates when YeHoVaH made the Children of Israel to dwell in booths when He brought them out of Egypt. All of Israel and those who join themselves to Israel should celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This includes the native born and those grafted in. We celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles by: • Erecting a temporary booth • Gathering on the 1st day for a Holy Convocation. It is a Sabbath Day. • Firstfruit Offerings are given on the 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles. • Waving goodly branches • Rejoicing in YeHoVaH’s presence with other believers • Communing with the Saints Wherever we gather, YeHoVaH’s Name is in the midst of us because His Name is on us. The place, where you gather, is not as important as the worship you offer when you gather.
The Eighth Day Assembly
October 19, 2022 • Arthur Bailey
The Eighth Day Assembly is a commanded Feast that immediately follows the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles. It is a Sabbath and is a solemn assembly. We are commanded to do no servile work. How do we celebrate the Eighth Day Feast? • Gather for a Holy Convocation. It is a Sabbath Day. • Rejoice in YeHoVaH’s Presence with other Believers. • Bring Offerings. • Commune with the Saints. The Almighty wants us to stay connected to Him. He has set aside Feast days to come into His Presence. When we keep YeHoVaH’s Law we are promised that blessings will come and overtake us!
