Psalm 145 and 119

We are walking in today: Weekend Meditation--The Counting of the Omer, Week 2 Day 6--A Spoken Word In Due Season, Part 2!!!!

Witness say throughout the Bible:  H1696 dabar--to speak, declare, converse, command, promise

Exodus 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 
Torah:  Genesis 8:15, 17:3; Exodus 6:10, 6:29, 16:12, 31:13; Leviticus 4:2
Prophets:  1 Samuel 3:9; Jeremiah  16:10, 23:35; Ezekiel 12:25, 20:27; Habakkuk 2:1; Zechariah 2:4
Writings:  Joshua 20:2
Deuteronomy 27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God.


Counting the Omer day 13--Psalms 119:97-104

97  MEM. O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies, for they are eternal unto me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies have been my meditation.
100 I understand more than the elders because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102  I have not departed from thy judgments, for thou hast taught me.
103  How sweet have been thy spoken words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I have obtained understanding; therefore I have hated every false way.

Fiveamprayer this is the season that the Most High comes to give us meat in due season!!  What an awesome teaching that we conclude today!  We find what is meat and who is it for--the proper food for His household!  It is His words that have been our meat in the wilderness when He brought them out of Egypt and will be our meat in our exodus, the second time from Egypt!!  His word goes before us and leads us in all things!!
Here are some points we have to consider in concluding this teaching--
1)The 'meat' of Foundational teachings: The Words of "Torah" given by Yahushua to Moses; and the Foundational teachings of the Renewed Covenant, as seen in Hebrews 6:1-2; the set-apart life and walk;
  • 2)The 'meat' of Who Yeshua, the Bridegroom, really is;
  • 3)The 'meat' of the teaching of the Marriage Covenant [New or Renewed Covenant] issues;
  • 4)The 'meat' of Messiah-in-you (Colossians 1:27; Galatians 4:19);
  • 5)The 'meat' of The Essentials of Salvation, of both coming out by the Blood, and entering in by obedience;
  • 6)The 'meat' of Preparation of the Bride: the perfecting of Love;
  • 7)The 'meat' of Characteristics of the Bride, which are identical to the characteristics of the Bridegroom.

  • 1 Timothy 4:4-8Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB)
    4 For everything that God created is good, and nothing is to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 ¶ If thou put these things before the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, unto which thou hast attained. 7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

    Shema Selah, let us consider this weekend mediation--thank You Most High for revealing to us meat in due season!!  We come into a greater understanding of Your plans that we are to walk in for obedience according to Your purpose!! Why are we not getting the understanding?  Setting down our western mindset and praying for wisdom, knowledge and understanding!!  Facebook LIVE video

    The Counting of the Omer, Week 2 Day 5--A Spoken Word In Due Season!!!!

    Proverbs 15

    We are walking in today:  The Counting of the Omer, Week 2 Day 5--A Spoken Word In Due Season!!!!

    Witness speak throughout the Bible:  H559 'amar--to say, speak, utter, to answer, to say, in one's heart, to think, to command, to promise, to intend
    Joshua 22:24 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak H559 unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

    Torah:  Gen 18:27, 24:4; Exodus 4:14, 12:3; Leviticus 7:29, 17:2; Deuteronomy 27:14
    Prophets:  2  Samuel 14:12; Isaiah 30:10; Jeremiah 1:7, 5:14, 18:11; Ezekiel 3:10
    Writings:  1 Kings 12:7, 22:14; 2 King 6:12; Psalm 45:1, 94:4

    Ezekiel 11:5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said  unto me, Speak;  Thus saith  the LORD; Thus have ye said, H559 O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.

     Proverbs 15:23 People take pleasure in anything they say; but a word at the right time, how good it is!

    ל (Lamed)
    Psalms 119:89-96
    89 Your word continues forever, Adonai, firmly fixed in heaven;
    90 your faithfulness through all generations; you established the earth, and it stands.
    91 Yes, it stands today, in keeping with your rulings; for all things are your servants.
    92 If your Torah had not been my delight, I would have perished in my distress.
    93 I will never forget your precepts, for with them you have made me alive.
    94 I am yours; save me because I seek your precepts.
    95 The wicked hope to destroy me, but I focus on your instruction.
    96 I see the limits of all perfection, but your mitzvah has no bounds.

    Ancient Name: Lam
    Pictograph: Shepherd Staff
    Meanings: Teach, Yoke, Bind, Toward
    Sound: L

    History & Reconstruction
    The Early Hebrew pictograph is, a shepherd's staff. The shepherd staff was used to direct sheep by pushing or pulling them. It was also used as a weapon against predators to defend and protect the sheep.

    The meaning of this letter is "toward" as moving something in a different direction. This letter also means "authority," as it is a sign of the shepherd, the leader of the flock. It also means "yoke," which is a staff on the shoulders, "tie" or "bind" from an idea of the yoke that is bound to the animal.

    This letter is used as a prefix to nouns meaning "to" or "toward."

    The Modern Hebrew name of this letter is lamed and is carried over into the Greek name lamda. The Arabic name, however, is lam, retaining an older two letter root name for the letter and the probable original name. The phonetic sound of this letter is "l."

    The original pictograph for this letter is and has remained virtually unchanged through Middle Hebrew as well as the Greek and Roman scripts. In Late Semitic, this letter changed slightly to and became ל in the Modern Hebrew script. The Early Semitic is the origin of the Greek Λ (upside down from the Hebrew) and the Roman L.

    Meat in Due Season
    As we continue to open the minds and understanding, that El Elyon is the master of seasons and time. He operates in seasons and cycles mentioned in Leviticus 23:4, 37, 26:4 and Genesis 8:22. Psalms 90:12 also mentions that in this all we are to learn how to count on Adonai's time and not the Greco-Roman calendar or systems taught to us in this modern day Babylonian system. As we learn how to operate on the Most Highs system we learn that He provides all our needs according to His riches and glory and in His time. The four seasons of time also bring the four seasons of El Elyon and meat in those seasons.

    Matthew 24:45  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season.

    Luke 12:42  And the Lord said, who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

    The Most High tells us that as new believers in His Kingdom He gave us milk, not solid food because we were not mature enough to receive the meat of His word. So we begin to understand the idiom of the word meat that alludes to His in-depth word instead of the surface of his word. He begins to open our understanding just like the Talmidim were not ready to understand Yeshua’s teachings. They pulled Him to the side after several of His teachings to the masses. To inquire of the Master teacher and word made flesh. What are your really talking about Rabbi?

    1 Corinthians 3:2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

    Mark 8:21 He said to them, “And you still don’t understand?”

    In the above passages, we see immediately that this meat in due season is something that ultimately comes from our Heavenly Father, even though it is distributed by His stewards. Let us hone in on an additional passage that shows us some further detail of the meat in due season that brings nourishment:

    1 Timothy 4:6  "A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!" "If thou shall put the brethren in remembrance of these things thou shalt be a good minister of Yeshua HaMoshiach, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine..."

    We then see further confirmation in the 1 Timothy passage above that our nourishment comes from “the words of Faith and of good teaching”— from Yeshua the Word, the Holy Scriptures.

    So we see that it is El Elyon who gives us His words, which become our meat as we feed upon His Word. We then become "DO-ers" of His word, as we walk in obedience to His words.

    If we are to be nourished by His Word, and thereby grow strong, we must first receive "good teaching," and then walk in "obedience to His Word, just as if it were True" (this is the Biblical definition of "Faith"). The teaching [and doing] of El Elyon's word is the meat that El Elyon people need.

    Meat to Her Household

    Proverbs 31:15  She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

    In the above passage, the Hebrew word for 'meat' is Strong's number H2964, occurring 23 times. This word comes from H2963, occurring 25 times, and means "ravening" or "prey." The number "25" alerts us to the idea that this word is related to the Bride characteristic of "5," as seen in 5 x 5. She will gorge herself with food and will carry the partly-digested (prepared) food back to her household where she will regurgitate, and "divide the spoil," or distribute the portions to her young cubs at night.

    This activity perfectly describes the Bride and the feeding of her household!

    So we see the meat distributed to her household is nourishing meat indeed, for it is what the Bride has been feeding upon — the Word of the Most High, the words of faith, and all the teachings that build up and prepare the Bride, but if the household is given meat, what is to be given to the maidens? Let's look at this.

    A Portion to Her Maidens
    the 'portion given to her maidens' tells us much also. The word for 'portion' is the Hebrew word 'choq' H2706, which occurs 127 times. The Hebrew word actually means "statute, ordinance, or commandments," and comes from the word H2710 meaning to "engrave or inscribe."

    Thus the word translated here as 'portion' implies a foundational, New Covenant issue — of inscribing El Shaddai's Laws and Commandments on the heart. The Bride gives the maidens the 'portion' of the pure Word of El Elyon— the teaching of His Laws ("Torah"), and His Commandments, Ordinances, and Precepts. For these are a part of the New Covenant provisions to be given to them, as summarized in Jeremiah 31:31-33! The hope is, that after these maidens are brought into the "bond(age)" of the Marriage [New] Covenant (Eze 20:37), they will desire to become a part of the Bride Company.

    Jeremiah 31:31-33
    30 (31) “Here, the days are coming,” says Adonai, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra’el and with the house of Y’hudah. 31 (32) It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them,” says Adonai. 32 (33) “For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Isra’el after those days,” says Adonai: “I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people.

    Ezekiel 20:37  And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

    So we see that the 'portion' given to the Maidens is the New Covenant understanding of walking in the Statutes, Ordinances, and Commandments of Yahuweh, that Yahushua desires to engrave or inscribe on the heart, as one of the New Covenant provisions.

    New Covenant Issues
    Psalms 111:5  He hath given meat 02964 unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

    John 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

    Luke 22:19-20  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This [Passover bread] is my body which is given for you: this do [keep the Passover] in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after [Passover] supper, saying, This [Passover] cup is the new testament [New Covenant] in my blood, which is shed for you. Here we see in the Psalms passage that the 'meat' is related to Yahuweh's Covenant. We then see in the above John and Luke passages, that Yahuweh's Everlasting Covenant has been Renewed for His People, and has been sealed by His Blood (Hebrews 13:20). This is a very important Covenant issue. Let's see what takes place when we participate in the Passover meal.

    According to Yahuweh's Covenant, Blood of the sacrifice is to be sprinkled on two places — on the Mercy Seat (Lev 16:14-15), and on the people (Exodus 24:8). Today, this Blood of the Covenant is to be sprinkled upon us, His people, as we participate in His Passover — when we eat the Passover Bread and drink the Passover cup. Yahushua tells us this is "meat indeed" and "drink indeed" (John 6:55).

    Under the New ("Renewed") Covenant, the Blood of Yahushua Messiah is sprinkled on His people, in a way that meets both requirements — for we are "the people" and we also have "the mercy seat" of the Ark of the Covenant within us — where the Tables of His Word reside — for His Torah is being written on the Tables of our heart. This is the place where El Elyon now resides, by His Holy Spirit, because Yahushua's Blood has initially cleansed us from within when we were 'Born-Again.'

    Only in this way, by drinking that which represents the 'Blood' of the Covenant — can His Blood be sprinkled on our inward parts?? Only in this way, by participating in the Blood and Body of the Passover Lamb, can we continue to have His Life abide [remain] in us (John 6:53; John 15:10; 1 John 2:6; 2 John 1:9). Surely everyone who has been Born-Again has Yahushua living within, and therefore Yahushua Himself becomes our Life. But Yahushua tells us that the Body and Blood of the Passover Lamb is a spiritual nourishment ("meat indeed" and "drink indeed") that is necessary for our continued growth, and for our obedience, and for the required testimony that "Yahushua-in-you" desires to become.

    The combined passages tell us that the 'meat' includes the teachings regarding the Renewed Covenant, and the ability He provides by His Grace, to participate and to walk in His Covenant.

    Shema Selah, let us hear listen and obey the words spoken by the Most High!!  Facebook LIVE video!!

    Leviticus 26


    We are walking in today:  Men of Torah Day--Counting the Omer Day 11--Men of Torah Walking In HIS Appointed Times!!

    Witness season throughout the Bible:  H6256 `eth--time (of an event), experiences, fortunes, occurrence, occasion

    Psalm 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; H6256 his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

    Torah: Genesis 8:11, 18:10, 18:14, 38:27; Exodus 18:22; Leviticus 26:4; Deuteronomy 1:16, 5:5
    Prophets: Nehemiah 13:31; Isaiah 17:14; Jeremiah 2:17, 2:28; Ezekiel 12:27; Daniel 8:17
    Writings: Job 24:1; Psalm 31:15, 69:13, 104:27; Proverbs 15:23; Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3:17

    Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time H6256 to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

    Leviticus 26:3-13
    3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
    4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
    5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
    6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
    7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
    8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
    9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
    10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
    11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
    12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
    13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

    Psalm 119:81-88
    81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
    82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
    83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
    84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
    85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
    86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
    87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
    88 Quicken me after thy loving kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth

    Kaph

    Ancient Name: Kaph
    Pictograph: Open Palm
    Meanings: Bend, Open, Allow, Tame
    Sound: K (stop), Kh (spirant)

    History & Reconstruction
    The Ancient form of this letter is the open palm of a hand. The meanings of this letter are "bend" and "curve," from the shape of the palm, as well as to "tame" or "subdue" as one who has been bent to another's will.

    The Modern Hebrew name for this letter is kaph, a Hebrew word meaning "palm" and is also the ancient name for this letter. This letter is pronounced as a "k," as in the word kaph, when used as a stop or as a "kh" (pronounced hard like the "ch" in the German name Bach), as in the word yalakh (to walk) when used as a spirant.

    The Early Semitic evolved into in the Middle Semitic script. This letter continued to evolve into in the Late Semitic script and becoming the Modern Hebrew כ and the ך (final kaph). The Middle Semitic became the Greek and Roman K (written in the reverse direction from the Hebrew).

    The four seasons of God

    There are four seasons a year, which is a result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and because of this, it causes the change of weather, ecology and hours of the day. Yet it is the Lord the Most High who created the Heaven, the earth and the four seasons; for all things were made by Him and for Him, according to

    Colossians 1:16  Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

    John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

    Since Yeshua can do whatever He desires, He allows four weather seasons which are, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and each seasons has its own purposes. There are also four spiritual seasons of God for HIS saints. These four seasons of God are set for those who have positioned themselves in the righteousness of God and keep His commandments. Once we remain righteous before the Lord we can expect to see the four seasons of God in our lives.

    The purpose of the book of Leviticus summarized in the command on how to “consecrate oneself and be holy, The name of the book Leviticus is derived from the name of the tribe of Levi, and the Levitical tribe supplied the priests for Israel. The major theme of Leviticus is holiness. God's demand for holiness in His people is based on His own holy nature. Holiness must be maintained before God, and holiness can only be attained through a proper atonement, understanding this is repeated throughout the biblical text.
    We will find that as chapter 26 begun that the Lord instructed Moses what the children of Israel must do in verse 1-3. Then in verse 4-12 Moses showed them what God will do. Now this chapter contains a general enforcement of all those laws by promises of reward in case of obedience on the one hand, and threatening of punishment for disobedience on the other hand.

    As the children walk and keep God’s statues and commandments, then God was going to release several promises and these promises are the four seasons of God. The first season is;

    1. The season of Increase  (verse 4-5)
    The former and latter rain, in the two seasons of the year in which rain usually fell, and when the land of Israel, which required rain, not being watered for years God had to first grant increase. Not only will God give increase to the children of Israel but he will give it to them in “due season”, which means in the appointed time. The former and latter rain accords in March-May. And it is during this time that God was going to release the blessing to Israel and to us. God will release his increase in

    Three Areas:
    A. Abundant supply of food, including rain. ‘The rain’, Rain season is January-
    March. The second area was;

    B. The grain harvest was finished by early to mid-June. ‘The land’, Grain
    harvest is in the month of February. And the third area was;

    C. The grape harvest which begins two months later. ‘The trees’, Grape harvest
    is in May.

    2. A season of PEACE (verse 6-8)
    During this season God is going to grant us peace. Our enemies will fall before us by the sword

    3. A season of God RELEASE (verse 9-10)
    During this season of release Israel would be eating their old harvest and the new one is coming in

    4. A season of God’s GLORY (verse 11-13)
    A season of God’s glory is required in everyone’s live. Once we experience the glory of god once we will always have a desire to feel his glory.

    To the end, the Most High saved the promise for last and said that Israel would enjoy a special relationship with HIM. When Israel walked after the LORD, these blessings were real; one example of this is when the Queen of Sheba came to Solomon and saw a nation so blessed, she knew it had to be of God (1 King 10:1-3). God now promised Israel through His covenant that His presence will be in the midst of Israel and He would set His tabernacle among them and walk among them and or us. After walking with us He will be our God and we will be His people.

    In every church and or ministry we know when God is with us, or when HIS glory is manifested among us, because the people are revived, there will be healing, and joy. But most importantly there will be God's increase, peace, release and His glory!!! Understand that God wants us to experience all the four seasons, but in order for us to have an experience we must keep HIS commandments and HIS status. Do you want to experience these four seasons or which seasons of God do you want to experience? Seek HIM earnestly and wait for Him to release it in your life. Not only is my desire for you to experience one of these four season in your life, but for you experience all four of Gods season, His season of Increase, Peace, Release and His Glory.  Shema Selah, thank You the Most High for giving us understanding of Your seasons and appointed times!!  Facebook LIVE video!!

    The Most High's Appointed Times and Seasons!  Who Is Counting Your Days??

    Psalms 119

    We are walking in today:  The Most High's Appointed Times and Seasons!  Who Is Counting Your Days??


    Counting the Omer day 10--Psalm 119

    Yodh
    73 Your hands made me and formed me;
        give me understanding to learn your commands.
    74 May those who fear you rejoice when they see me,
        for I have put my hope in your word.
    75 I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous,
        and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
    76 May your unfailing love be my comfort,
        according to your promise to your servant.
    77 Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
        for your law is my delight.
    78 May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause;
        but I will meditate on your precepts.
    79 May those who fear you turn to me,
        those who understand your statutes.
    80 May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees,
        that I may not be put to shame.

     Tehillim (Psalms) 104:19 The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down. Not only are the festivals themselves, appointments with the Most High, but the Most High has arranged for major prophetic events to also occur during these festival appointments. In this next passage, we find the announcement of Isaac’s birth, and the birth itself, both occurred on Passover, as we can see in this next passage. Bereshit (Genesis) 17:19-21 Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next
    year."
    Bereshit (Genesis) 18:10-14 Then the Most High said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son." Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to
    herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Then the Most High said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will I really have a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the Most High? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Not only did the announcement of Isaac’s birth occur on Passover, but the birth of Isaac also occurred on Passover, as we can see from this next passage. Bereshit (Genesis) 21:1-3 Now the Most High was gracious to Sarah as He had said, and the Most High did for Sarah what He had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him. The Most High was designing and creating His divine appointed times on the fourth day of creation. The purpose was and is to teach us about His plan of redemption through Yeshua the Messiah. "And The Most High said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years". (Gen.1:14) The Most High's appointed times is based on the moon, lunar time. Today, we observe the Babylonian calendar, which is based on the sun, solar time, but The Most High's appointed times hasn’t changed. The Most High is the same yesterday, today, and forever. A key word that we must understand in Genesis 1:14 is seasons. This word has been translated and interpreted incorrectly for centuries. The root meaning of the word season is the Hebrew word "moade or moadim", it means "an appointed time, a
    festival." In the Hebrew Tanach, (O.T.) Genesis 1:14 translates "… and they shall serve as signs, and for festivals, and for days and years." Psalm 104:9 "The Most High's appointed times the moon for seasons" the word seasons again is "moadim" which is "appointed times, festivals." Therefore, we can say the Most High in His time appointed the moon to determine the appointed times and festivals. In the ancient times the prophets and the apostles looked to the moon to determine the time of the month. They understood that the new moon marks the beginning of a month, and a full moon the middle of a month. This was the ancient and the Most High inspired method of counting months.  We need to realize that these "moadim-appointed times" were set in the earth prior to the creation of any living being. The Most High had already created a timetable for His children to meet with Him. Elohim does not make mistakes, nor does He change His mind. In Genesis 1:14
    says, "Let them be signs, and tokens (these lights) of Elohim The Almighty God provident care". Provident care points to a sign of The Most High's covenant. These appointed times are signs of The Most High's agreement with us, that He is our El Elyon our sustainer and we are His people.  It says in the book of Hosea, "My people perish for lack of knowledge". For centuries, there has been a veil over the Church producing an ignorance of His appointed times. This has continued to keep the division between the Christian and the Jew, and also has made Christianity to look like a new religion with new holy days. The solar calendar (Julian/Gregorian) and pagan inspired feast days have been substituted for The Most High's divine holy days. Much of the pagan holy days came from the Roman Church, and again the reason was to separate the Church and its followers from the Jewish people. In The Fullness Of Times", it says in Acts 3:21, the heavens have received The Messiah Yeshua, and are retaining Him until the times of complete restoration of all things that Elohim, the Almighty spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets from ages past. One area that the Holy Spirit is trying to restore in the Church is the Festivals of the Lord. In most Bibles festivals is translated feasts. "And God The Most High spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons." (Lev. 23:1-2, 4) We need to take special note that these feasts are not called Jewish holy days; but the Most High calls them "My feasts", "The Feasts of The Lord". The word seasons again, is the Hebrew word "moadim", which is "the appointed times, and festivals." They are intended for all the followers of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, both the natural branches and those who have been grafted in (Rom. 11). These appointed times and festivals were given to Israel and were commanded to be observed throughout their generations forever. (Ex. 12:14,17; Lev. 23) When the children of Israel left Egypt many Gentile people left with them. They were called foreigners or sojourners, and also observed the appointed times and festivals/feasts. When a Gentile believer observes the feasts, that person is exercising their rights of citizenship (Eph. 2:19) as well as obeying The Most High's commands. When you learn these feasts, you learn of The Most High's ways, the I AM THAT I AM and His covenant. Remember, a covenant is an agreement between two people; therefore in each feast there is a promise from the Most High establishing His covenant with us. If we don’t understand or have a knowledge of the feasts, then we don’t know the promise that the Most High has given us.  Most of us lead very busy lives, and we carry appointment books so that we do not forget our scheduled appointments. In a way God has His own appointment book HIS APPOINTED TIMES SET in which He schedules special appointed times with sacred assemblies to meet with Him in anointed times of praise, worship, and fellowship with Him. On these special appointed times His presence will be especially revealed to us. Of course, in His appointed times, the Most High wants to meet with us every day, and when we take time to fellowship with Him He is always there. But, there is a special blessing that comes when His children meet Him on the appointed times and feasts that He perpetually set in His word.  In Leviticus 23, the Most High lists the appointed time of the weekly Sabbath and the seven Feasts of the Lord celebrated throughout the year. Each feast points to Yeshua past, present, and future, and is a picture of the redemptive work in our lives. The seven feasts are celebrated in two different seasons, which correspond to the two agricultural seasons. In Israel there is a time of rain in the spring (former rain) and a time of rain in the fall (latter rain). This division relates to the two appearances that Messiah is to make on the earth: "…and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth." (Hos. 6:3)  The four spring feasts are: Passover (Pesach), The Feast of Unleavened Bread (Matzot), The Feast of First Fruits (Bikkurim), The Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), also known as
    Pentecost. The work of Messiah Yeshua during His first coming is seen most clearly in these feasts, as related to the former rain. The three fall feasts are: The Day of Blowing The Trumpet or Shofar (Yom Teruah), more popularly known as Head of the Year (Rosh Hashanah), The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). These fall feasts take place in YHVH's seventh month, Tishri, which is the time of the latter rain, and contains revelation on Messiah’s second coming. The rabbi's according to the Talmud had two opinions on the Messiah’s coming. One opinion was that Israel will be redeemed in the month of Tishri; another opinion is that they were redeemed from Egypt in Nisan, and in Nisan they will be redeemed. (Nisan is the first month in which the spring feast of Passover is observed). We know that both opinions of the rabbis are correct. the Most High's gave His people these appointed times and feasts to prepare them to recognize their Messiah when He came. As we all know, most of the Jewish people have not yet recognized Him.  Yeshua said, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." In Matthew 24, the disciples asked Yeshua, "What will be the sign of your coming?" He tells them in verse 36 "But of that day and hour knows no man…" In Deuteronomy 29:29 it says, "The secret things belong to the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever…" Paul writes in I Thessalonians 5:1 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write to you." The Gentile believers of the first century were attending synagogues, observed the Sabbath, the Feasts, therefore knowing their prophetic significance. Yet, today most of the Church is in ignorance in this area.  Many of you are thinking, but Paul wrote we no longer have to observe the appointed times and feasts or the law. This is a huge study in itself that I encourage you to search out. I have found that Paul observed the appointed times and feasts. Much of his writings have been misinterpreted due to wrong translations of words. For example, the word law in the New Testament in certain scriptures was referring to the legalism brought about by the added rabbinical laws, and not to the laws God set in the Old Testament. This misunderstanding has made Christians think that the Old Testament and its laws are obsolete. In the book of Galatians and Colossians it is often interpreted that the apostle Paul was condemning those believers who were celebrating the feasts. This is not true; actually he was saying that the feasts lead to Messiah. I am not saying that observing the appointed times and feasts is required for salvation; at the same time because of the way the Church has been taught, believers feel they no longer have to observe the appointed times and feasts. Basically, the nature of the human being is "If I don’t have to do it, I am not going to." The appointed times and The Feasts of the Lord have a great deal to teach all believers who have made Yeshua the Messiah the Lord of their lives, bringing a new depth and fullness in our relationship with Him. In every appointed time and feast of God’s calendar we find Yeshua. Yeshua Himself being Jewish, observed all of God’s appointed times and feasts. Shouldn’t we want to celebrate what our Lord celebrated? 
    Prophetically, this was a representation of the type of church and believer that joins themselves to Israel and the Jewish people. When Ruth joined herself to Naomi, all the appointed times and Feasts of the Lord were already set, and Ruth observed them, saying, "your God is my God, where you go, I will go, where you die, I will die." Ruth was saying the ways and laws of Israel are now going to be my ways and laws. We know that Ruth’s obedience brought forth the lineage of our Messiah, Yeshua. Another way that the true Ruths of the Church today can show their love, commitment, and faithfulness to the God of Israel and the Jewish people is by joining in the observance of the feasts. Just imagine what impact it would be on the Jewish people, if the entire Church worldwide were to keep and celebrate the appointed times and feasts. This would make the Jew jealous (Rom. 11:11); drawing them back to their God, bringing a final restoration of Israel, which in turn will usher in the return of the Messiah. Do you bind your personal destiny to the destiny of the Most High's appointed times?" I am not saying you have to convert to Judaism, but I am asking you to search your own heart. We can say we love the His word and yet live and speak contrary to it!!  Based on our actions who is it that we serve?!? Are we willing to learn about the Most High's  appointed times and feasts, or are we set in our traditional thinking? So I leave you with this question, do you bind your personal destiny to the destiny of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to the Most High's ways? We will close with the scriptures:  Bereshit (Genesis) 1:14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. ayikra (Leviticus) 23:4-7 "'These are HaShem’s appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: HaShem’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the firstmonth. On the fifteenth day of that month HaShem’s Feast of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast... Vayikra (Leviticus) 23:15-16 "'From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks. Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to HaShem. Vayikra (Leviticus) 23:24 "Say to the Israelites: 'On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Vayikra (Leviticus) 23:27 "The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present an offering made to HaShem by fire. Vayikra (Leviticus) 23:34 "Say to the Israelites: 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month HaShem’s Feast of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. Vayikra (Leviticus) 23:37 ("'These are HaShem’s appointed feasts, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing offerings made to HaShem by fire--the burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings required for each day. Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:10-11 Then Moses commanded them: "At the end of every seven years, in the appointed time of the year for canceling debts, during the Feast of Tabernacles, When all Israel comes to appear before HaShem your God at the place he will choose, you shall read this law before them in their hearing. Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. Habakkuk 2:3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. Tehillim (Psalms) 75:1-8 {For the director of music. [To the tune of] "Do Not Destroy." A psalm of Asaph. A song.} We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds. You say, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly. When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns. Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak with outstretched neck.'" No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another. In the hand of HaShem is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs. Zechariah 8:19 This is what HaShem Almighty says: "The fasts of the fourth (17th of Tammuz), fifth (Tisha B'Av), seventh (fast of Gedaliah) and tenth (10th of Tevet) months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace." Concerning the Tabernacle, we have a very unusual use of moed. It is used 140 times! The usage suggests that our appointments with HaShem take place in time and in space. In time, at the festivals, and in place, at the Temple (Tent of Meeting): Shemot (Exodus) 27:21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before Hashem from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come. There are only two uses of moed, appointments, throughout the scriptures. It is used to speak of festivals and it is used to denote the place where we celebrate the festivals. The Hebrew word moed, is used only in these two ways. The Temple in heaven is also called the appointed place(moed): Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 14:12-14 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." Tehillim (Psalms) 74:1-4 {A of
    Asaph.} Why have you rejected us forever, O God? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? Remember the people you purchased of old, the tribe of your inheritance, whom you redeemed--Mount Zion, where you dwelt. Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins, all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary. Your foes roared in the place where you met with us; they set up their standards as signs. In this next passage we see both uses of moed, as the place of the appointment and as the time of the appointment. Eicha (Lamentations) 2:5-7 The Lord is like an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation for the Daughter of Judah. He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden; he has destroyed his place of meeting. HaShem has made Zion forget her appointed feasts and her Sabbaths; in his fierce anger he has spurned both king and priest. The Lord has rejected his altar and abandoned his sanctuary. He has handed over to the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have raised a shout in the house of HaShem as on the day of an appointed feast.
    Revelation 22:8-10 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!" Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. Luqas (Luke) 21:20-28 "When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.
    For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Mashiach also has an appointed time, a moed: Matityahu (Matthew) 26:17-18 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Yeshua and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'" Amen!

    Matthew 24: 36, 42
    36 “But when that day and hour will come, no one knows — not the angels in heaven, not the Son, only the Father.  42 So stay alert, because you don’t know on what day your Lord will come.

    Psalm 119:65-72 Omer Count Day 9

    65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
    66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
    67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
    68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
    69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
    70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
    71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
    72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

    Tet
    Ancient Name: Thet
    Pictograph: Basket
    Meanings: Surround, Contain, Mud
    Sound: Th

    History & Reconstruction
    The original pictograph for this letter is, a container made of wicker or clay. Containers were a very important item among the nomadic Hebrews. They were used for storing grains, tools, foods, housewares and other items. Wicker baskets were used as nets for catching fish. The meanings of this letter are basket, contain, store and clay.

    The twenty-second letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a tav, with a "t" sound. It is unlikely that the original Hebrew had two letters with the same sound. When the Greeks adopted the Hebrew alphabet this letter became the Greek theta. It is likely that the original sound for this letter was a "th," as adopted by the Greeks.

    The Modern Hebrew name for this letter is tet, but probably originally pronounced thet, which means "mud" or "clay," materials used to make baskets.

    The Early Semitic letter remained unchanged into the Middle Semitic script, but became in the Late Semitic script. The Late Semitic letter became the Θ (Theta) in the Greek alphabet, the Modern Hebrew ט and our number 6!!!!
    No Man Knows the Day or Hour??

    Matthew 24 starts off with Yeshua and His Talmidim dialoging about the destruction of the temple which was Yeshua’s opportunity to speak literally of the destruction and captivity of Israel from the pending Greco- Roman conquer. As well as an idiomatic ways to speak of His sacrifice as the Lamb that was slain from before the foundations of the earth. Meaning the Moshiach (Jesus the Christ) was doing His thing as the Master teacher that He is. But the question came up, when would these things happen?? When will the end time come and temple be destroyed? Yeshua's opportunity to teach and speak in the awesome way He does spoke again in an idiom. Stating “That no man knows the day or the hour and when you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoever reads, let him understand.”

    Daniel 9:27 He will make a strong covenant with leaders for one week [of years]. For half of the week he will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering. On the wing of detestable things the desolator will come and continue until the already decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”

    Matthew 24:15  “So when you see the abomination that causes devastation spoken about through the prophet Daniel standing in the Holy Place” (let the reader understand the allusion),

    It is now clear that "no man knows the day or hour" does NOT mean "no man knows the day or hour" as we read it from a modern-day English perspective. Christians over the centuries have separated themselves from their Hebraic roots causing the misunderstanding of key Jewish biblical idioms. An idiom is also a figure of speech. When Y'shua (Jesus) uttered His famous words concerning the Messianic Era in Mattityahu (Matthew) 24:26, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father", He used a common Hebrew figure of speech referring to a specific Hebraic Festival. In essence He was saying, "I am coming for My Bride on such and such a day! Be watching!" Which is the main reason His commandments tell us in Leviticus 23 to keep His feast days and not the holidays of the world. Everything He Does is for a reason and if we do not understand His instructions how can you get anything the Most High says in idioms? What day could the Hebraic idiom be referring to?

    Y'shua was quoted in Mattityahu (Matthew) 8:11 as saying: "I say to you  that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places  at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven".
    Since we are talking about Jewish idioms, have you ever considered the meaning of these words? Specifically, our Lord used and confirmed common Hebraic ideas about the Day of the Lord - the millennium - and its relation to the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) in Z'kharyah 14. In speaking, Yeshua referred to the Festival and its traditional guests of honor, Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'acov, called the ushpizin (uoosh-piz-zin) or seven shepherds (exalted guests), invited into every succah (tabernacle) at the Feast of Sukkot in the fall of the year. The seven shepherds in descending order are:
    1. Avraham (Abraham)
    2. Yitzchak (Isaac)
    3. Ya'acov (Jacob)
    4. Mosheh (Moses)
    5. Aaron
    6. Yosef (Joseph)
    7. HaMelech David (King David)

    By mentioning the feast and three of the seven shepherds, His audience immediately understood the allusion to the Messianic age - "Millennium" or  "Day" of the Lord.

    Matthew 8:11  Moreover, I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west to take their places at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven with Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya‘akov.

    Zachariah 14:16-19  16 Finally, everyone remaining from all the nations that came to attack Yerushalayim will go up every year to worship the king, Adonai-Tzva’ot, and to keep the festival of Sukkot. 17 If any of the families of the earth does not go up to Yerushalayim to worship the king, Adonai-Tzva’ot, no rain will fall on them. 18 If the family of Egypt doesn’t go up, if they refuse to come, they will have no [annual] overflow [from the Nile]; moreover, there will be the plague with which Adonai will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the festival of Sukkot. 19 This will be Egypt’s punishment and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the festival of Sukkot.

    Leviticus 23:33-36  33 Adonai said to Moshe, 34 “Tell the people of Isra’el, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of Sukkot for seven days to Adonai. 35 On the first day there is to be a holy convocation; do not do any kind of ordinary work. 36 For seven days you are to bring an offering made by fire to Adonai; on the eighth day you are to have a holy convocation and bring an offering made by fire to Adonai; it is a day of public assembly; do not do any kind of ordinary work.

    This is amazing and awesome way to unlock many misinterpretations of the scriptures. For if we learn the idioms of the Master teacher nothing as His true Talmidim shall be hidden!!  Just one more example for this teaching--the story of the Israelite Nathanael was coming forth and Yeshua called out “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false". "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you". The context that drove the response from Nathan is what always puzzled me as if Yeshua envisioned Him sitting under a fig tree and Nathan going off, like you saw me sitting under a fig tree Wow you must be the Messiah the True Son of El Elyon!!!! But once again Yeshua spoke idiomatic to Nathanael. Alluding to the words of the prophet Zachariah speaking of the coming Kingdom after the end of this earth as we know it. Check it out in the scriptures!!

    Zachariah 3:10  When that time comes,’ says Adonai-Tzva’ot, ‘you will all invite each other to join you under your vines and fig trees.’”

    Reading the whole chapter we see Adonai speaking of heaven on earth the future. As did Yeshuah speaking into the life of Nathan who also was apparently a reader of the Torah. How else would he have understood this idiom not literally coming from sitting under a fig tree but see His future in the resurrection siting with kinfolk eating figs.

    El Elyon through HaMashiach Y'shua spoke to the Jews in many portions and in many ways (Hebrews 1:1-2) relying upon known figures of speech, common expectations and direct thoughts from Talmudic and Pharisaic teachings. The concepts addressed only scratch the surface. Every phrase and word from the mouth of the Lord meant something to His audience. He spoke with precision. With that as a basis, let us go on to one of the most interesting Hebraic figures of speech misunderstood by the Church over the years. It concerns Y'shua's phrase, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father". In context, He refers to the home-taking of His bride, the beginning of the Messianic era and His millennial reign as King of kings over all the earth. To understand this concept, we begin by examining its foundation. Failing to think like Yeshua and taking phrases out of Hebraic context can lead one to misunderstand His words. For example, in many places of the B'rit Chadashah (New Testament) Yeshua knew the future and talked about it openly. In one instance He warned His talmidim (disciples) about their future saying, "See, I have told you ahead of time" (Mattityahu-Matthew 24:25). His context concerned the tribulation, the destruction of the Temple, the rise and fall of false messiahs (antichrists), etc. If He knew the future in  Mattityahu 24:25, and the context concerns the Day of Trouble, why would He suddenly speak as though He did not know the future in the same context just 11 verses later in Mattityahu 24:36? Was He confused? Or was He making perfect sense in light of the customs of the Hebrews?

    The study of Leviticus 23 and the commanded feast days for Israel will unlock every idiom Yeshua eluded to for understanding His return. Between the feast of trumpets Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot is explained the return Of the Bridegroom for His Bride. The Scattered Sheep of Israel.

    Hebraic Numbers---
    Seven, Shvah [f.], sheevah [m.] wholeness, completeness, being ripe, rest, order, stability, and holiness. We rest in the finished work (6) of the Messiah. There are 7 days of creation, 7 days for Temple dedication, 7 Spirits of God, 7 feasts of God, 7 churches in Revelation, 7 stars in Yeshua’s hand, 7 golden lampstands, 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls, 7 thunders speak in Revelation, 7 eyes of the Lord, 7 horns & eyes on the Lamb, 7 abominations (wicked lamp spirits Pr. 6:16-19), the priest of Midian (Moses’ father-in-law) had 7 daughters, Joshua had the people along with 7 priests march around Jericho before the Ark for 7 days. On the 7th day, 7 priests blowing 7 shofarim along with the people circled the city 7 times. On the 7th circuit, the shofars sounded long and the people shouted and the walls fell. Sampson had 7 locks of hair in which were the source of his strength (Holy Spirit), Elijah sent his servant to look for the indication of rain 7 times, Elisha had Naaman wash in the Jordan 7 times to be cured of his leprosy. Elisha laid upon a dead boy; he sneezed 7 times and rose. King Joash began to reign at age 7; he began to rebuild the Temple of the Most High. King Hezekiah reinstated the observance of Passover (1st feast) and Unleavened Bread (7 days). The people were so excited they celebrated an additional 7 days. Pure, white light refracts into 7 colors (prism, rainbow).

    According to the ancient near eastern culture and understanding of the cosmos (this includes ancient Israel), 7 was the normal operation and order of G-d’s House/Temple. Thus, all the 7’s in the Bible have to do with Temple building, inauguration, and dedication. For example, the 7 days of creation are the 7 days of Temple dedication, with Shabbat being the inauguration or rest. In this case, the Shabbat signifies the Creator’s rule of heaven and earth and His Temple/presence being the ultimate means of stability and order in the world. In other words, the completeness pictured in the number seven is qualified in ancient near eastern thought by the TEMPLE (building/dedication/inauguration). Without the Temple, there is chaos and a lack of order in the world. Knowing this should broaden our perspective on the spiritual implication of the number 7.  Seventh Hebrew letter: Zayin Numerical value of seven. Pictographic meaning plowshare, weapon, sword, to arm, to adorn, to cut, to feed, completion. 1st verse of the Bible has 7 Hebrew words with 28 (4×7) letters. Blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat 7 times on Yom Kippur. (Lev. 16:14) Blood of the chatat (sin) offering was sprinkled before the veil 7 times (Lev. 9:17) It takes 7 days to atone for the altar to purify it. (Ex. 29:37, Ezek. 43:26) 7 of the Ten Commandments are negative and begin with the Hebrew loh, or no/not, as in thy shall not. 7 weeks (7 x 7) are counted to get to Shavuot (Pentecost). Likewise, 7 x 7 years are counted to reach a Yovel (Jubilee) year. Each of these 7 year bundles are a Shemittah year or a year of release.
    Other 7's in scripture:
    Wisdom has 7 pillars. (Pr. 9:1)
    7 loaves fed four thousand with 7 baskets leftover. (Mt. 15:32-39)
    We must forgive our brothers/sisters 7 x 7 times. (Mt. 18:21; Luke 17:4)
    Mary Magdalene had 7 evil spirits cast from her. (Mar. 16:9, Pr. 6:16-19)
    On day 7 of creation, God rested from His work. He set the 7th day apart as holy. 7 transcends the natural and moves into the supernatural.
    Seventh Feast: Sukkot (Tabernacles) Lev. 23
    Seventh Spirit of God: Yirat Adonai (Fear/reverence of God) Is. 11:2
    We begin every week (and even every day as the day begins at sunset) by RESTING. This is the pattern from the very beginning. We rest first in the finished work of God, then we go to work (perform good deeds).
     Seventh Church of Revelation: Laodicea (Meaning justice or vengeance of the people)



    Eight--Shemoni [f.], shemonah [m.] Literally to “make fat”. New beginnings, not just complete (like 7), but satiated. Becoming “fat” is having more than enough. Full to overflowing. Moves from natural to supernatural. Eighth Hebrew letter: Chet Numerical value of eight. Pictographic meaning wall, fence, protect, new beginning, separation, sin, outside, olam.
    Covenant (pictured in circumcision on 8th day).
    The Tabernacle was dedicated in an eight-day ceremony.
    Righteous King Josiah began his rule of Judah at the age of eight. (2 Kings 22:1-2)
    In the eighth year of his reign, while still a boy, he sought the Most High and began to purge Judah of high places and Asherim. (2Chr. 34:3)
    He repaired the Temple, discovered the Torah, repented, and cleansed Judah further in the eighteenth year of his reign. (2 Kings 22:3 – 23:20)
    Also in his eighteenth year, he restored the Most High’s Passover (1st feast -see one). With Unleavened Bread, Passover week is EIGHT days. (2 Kings 23: 21-25)
    Eight days after His resurrection, Yeshua appeared again to the disciples and spoke to (doubting) Thomas. Thomas proclaimed Yeshua “My Lord and my God”. (John 20:26-29)
    Transfiguration occurred on the 8th day (Luke 9:28); and Peter wanted to build 3 sukkot (tabernacles) for Yeshua, Moses, and Elijah. This is a direct reference to the season of the transfiguration: Sukkot – the 8-day feast of YHWH!
    Torah (Law) is elevated to the spiritual realm in Ps. 119 by following an 8 verse alphabetical sequence. (See also Ps. 19:7) Paul says, “the Law is Spiritual” in Rom. 7:14 indicating that it is above the natural realm of carnal flesh.
    Elijah performed 8 miracles; and Elisha doubled that with 16 (a multiple of 8).
    Eight souls were saved from the flood in Noah’s day.
    Chanukah (a late Sukkot festival) is eight days long. It’s major themes are overcoming darkness and heavenly miracles.
    Shemini Atzeret, the last great 8th day of Sukkot asks us to linger (add to over flowing) one more day with the Most High.
    King David, a prefigure of Messiah Yeshua, was the 8th son of Jesse (a multiple of 4 [number for scepter, government, authority, and rule]). (1 Sam. 17: 12-14)
    Eight is past the completed work of seven and moves one into the realm of the supernatural or the world to come. It also depicts new beginnings as Hebraic thought sees time and the calendar as cyclical, rather than linear. It is a doubling of four or authority and government. Thus, eight is a re-creation of the House/Tabernacle/Temple of YHWH. Coupled with the letter “yod” (also the symbol for 10) makes the Hebrew word chai or LIFE.

    The Counting of the Omer--One Day Is Like A Thousand Years, The Prophetic Significance!!!

     2 Peter 3

    We are walking in today:  The Counting of the Omer--One Day Is Like A Thousand Years, The Prophetic Significance!!!

    Witness day throughout the Bible:   H3117 yowm--as defined by evening and morning in Genesis 1, as a division of time
    Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
    Torah:  Genesis 1:5, 1:14, 1:16, 1:31, 5:4, 8:6; Exodus 13:6, 16:4
    Prophets:  1 Samuel 8:8, 10:19
    Writings:  Joshua 1:5, 3:7; Ruth 3:18; 2 Chronicles 6:15; Nehemiah 13:17; Psalm 102:3, 119:91; Ecclesiastes 5:20
    Joel 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.


    2 Peter 3:8  Moreover, dear friends, do not ignore this: with the Lord, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day

    Psalm 119 for counting the Omer day 5 key verses 33-40

    Psalm 119:33-40
    ה (Heh) 33 Teach me, Adonai, the way of your laws; keeping them will be its own reward for me. 34 Give me understanding; then I will keep your Torah; I will observe it with all my heart. 35 Guide me on the path of your mitzvot, for I take pleasure in it. 36 Bend my heart toward your instructions and not toward selfish gain. 37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things; with your ways, give me life. 38 Fulfill your promise, which you made to your servant, which you made to those who fear you. 39 Avert the disgrace which I dread, for your rulings are good. 40 See how I long for your precepts; in your righteousness, give me life!

    Hey the Fifth letter in the Aleph-Tov, having the numeric value of 5. In Paleo Hebrew the letter looks like a man with his hands raised. The Modern Hebrew, and original name for this letter, is hey, a Hebrew word meaning "behold," as when looking at a great sight. This word can also mean "breath" or "sigh," as one does when looking at a great sight. The meaning of the letter is behold, look, breath, sigh, reveal and revelation from the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out. This letter is a consonant, with an "h" sound, but also used as a vowel with the "eh" sound. When the Greeks adopted this letter it became the epsilon (E-psilon meaning "simple E") with an "eh" sound. This letter is commonly used as a prefix to words to mean "the" as in ha'arets meaning "the land." The use of this prefix is to reveal something of importance within the sentence. The Early Semitic evolved into the Middle Semitic by rotating the letter 90 degrees to the left. This letter then evolved into the late Semitic script that developed into the Modern Hebrew ה. The Middle Semitic was adopted by the Greeks and the Romans to become the E (reversed from its Semitic origin due to the direction of writing). Can also mean brokenness and teshuva, returning to The Most High. One day is like a thousand years” and it’s prophetic significance What does this mean? What is implied when Peter writes, “one day is like a thousand years”. Is this a literal thousand years? We have been taught to believe that; but, as we study, we will realized that it is a key to understanding some of the Bible prophecies. If we look at all the other passages where this word was used with numerals it was translated as “about Mark 5:13 13 Y’shua gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about (hos) two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea. Mark 8:9 9 About (hos) four thousand were there; and He sent them away. First let’s look at the definition of the word (like) in the verse 8 in the Greek and then in Hebrew Like Greek 5613. hós ► Strong's Concordance Hós: as, like as, even as, when, since, as long as Original Word: ὡς Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: hós Phonetic Spelling: (hoce) Short Definition: as, like as, how, while, so that Definition: as, like as, about, as it were, according as, how, when, while, as soon as, so that. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin adverb from hos, Definition As, like as, even as, when, since, as long as NASB Translation about (20), according (2), affected (1), after (2), appear* (1), appeared (1), effect (1), how (20), however* (1), if (10), just (6), just like (1), like (106), like* (1), namely (1), one (2), same way (1), seeing (1), since (2), size (1), so (3), so* (1), though (15), way (1), when (53), whenever* (1), where (1), while (10). Like, Hebrew 3644. Kemo or kamo ► Strong's Concordance Kemo or kamo: like, as, when Part of Speech: adverb; conjunction; substantive; conjunction Transliteration: kemo or kamo Phonetic Spelling: (kem-o') Short Definition: like NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin A pleonastic form of a preposition prefix Definition Like, as, when NASB Translation Alike (1), comparison (1), if (1), like (84), likewise (1), so (1), such (4), such* (1), thus (1), when (1). The word “like and about” (hos), is meant as a comparative phrase. The phrase “as a thousand years” is equally not meant in a literal sense. It alludes to a time period, likened to a thousand years. There is a similar passage comparing a thousand years with a day in Ps 90. Psalm 90:4–6 4 For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night. 5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; in the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew. 6 In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; toward evening it fades and withers away. We can conclude the same for this passage in Psalms as for the passage in 2 Peter. These time periods do not have to be a literal thousand years, although it could be. In order for us to apply this prophetic principle of “one day is like a thousand years” further, we must first find proof in scripture. In the second book of Genesis, we get a good example of the prophetical application and fulfillment of this principle: Genesis 2:17 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” It is no coincidence that those who lived before the Flood died just short of a 1000 years of age. Thus figuratively speaking, Adam, and all his offspring before the flood, died within a “day”—that is, within a thousand years. Can we assume that whenever the word “day” is used, it could mean a thousand years? I don’t think so. It is more complex than that. As always, context is king when interpreting scripture. The Scripture says that the world was created in six days. Was the world actually created in 6000 years? I would not go so far as to say that. Plants were created before the sun and won’t be able to survive for a 1000 years without photosynthesis. Therefore, I support a literal six-day creation. Another example would be the time Yeshua spend in the grave. Those were a literal three days and three nights. We can find many more examples. Both verses Psalm 90 and 2 Peter 3 speaks about the return of our Messiah. Therefore, we can conclude: the phrase “one day is like a thousand years” can only be applied in a prophetic context. It is often said that Genesis 6:3 points to a prophetic time period. It refers to the period of man on earth before Yeshua returns. The calculation is as follows 120 x 50 =6000. The 50 refers to the amount of years of a Jubilee cycle. Only problem is that a Jubilee cycle is only 49 years. Shall we investigate this further? Genesis 6:3 3 Then YHVH said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
    How do we calculate a Jubilee? Leviticus 23:15–16 15 ‘You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete Sabbaths. 16 ‘You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to YHVH. It is very important to follow the instructions carefully. We are to commence counting on the first day of the week and end the count on the first day of the week. Take note: the fiftieth day is also the first day of the weekly cycle. This is a pattern for us for the calculation of the Jubilee years. Thus, the 50th year -the Jubilee year – is also the first year of the next sabbatical cycle. Don’t you think it’s awesome to see how the Most High uses the same pattern? I would just like to add this for clarification: If a Jubilee cycle is 50 years, then between the last year of the first cycle and the first sabbatical year of the next cycle, would be eight years to provide for the Jubilee year. This cannot be as we are told in Scripture that a Sabbath Cycle is to be 7 years. How do we apply all we have learned in this study? We have just proven from Scripture that the Jubilee cycle is 49 years instead of 50 years. We also have the prophetic scripture in Gen 6:3. If we apply what we have learned, our calculation of prophetic years would be as follows: 120 x 49 = 5880. We can conclude in saying that one day is like 980 years. Psalm 90:12–13 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may present to you a heart of wisdom. 13 Do return, O YHVH; how long will it be? And be sorry for your servants.
    We can only ask the Most High for His wisdom to live our lives according to His plan. Time is short. We have to number our days.  Shema Selah let us hear, listen and obey to His instructions that led us in the good and right way to go! Facebook LIVE video!

    Men Of Torah Day--The Counting of the Omer, Men Making It Count!!!

    Psalm 90 and 119

    We are walking in today:  Men Of Torah Day--The Counting of the Omer, Men Making It Count!!!

    Witness count throughout the Bible:  H5608 caphar--to number, take account of, reckon
    Micah 6:11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
    Torah:  Leviticus 23:15
    Prophets:  Isaiah 33:18
    Writings:  1 Kings 3:8; Nehemiah 13:13; Job 31:4; Psalms 87:6, 139:18
    Philippians 3:13
    Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,


    Psalm 90:4, 12
    4 For from your viewpoint a thousand years are merely like yesterday or a night watch.
    12 So teach us to count our days, so that we will become wise.

    Day 4 Counting the Omer

    ד (Dalet)
    Psalm 119:25-32
    25 I lie prostrate in the dust; revive me, in keeping with your word.
    26 I told you of my ways, and you answered me; teach me your laws.
    27 Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wonders.
    28 I am melting away from anxiety and grief; renew my strength, in keeping with your word.
    29 Keep deceitful ways far from me, and favor me with your Torah.
    30 I choose the way of trust; I set your rulings [before me].
    31 I cling to your instruction; Adonai, don’t let me be put to shame!
    32 I will run the way of your mitzvoth, for you have broadened my understanding.

    Teach us to number our days as the prayer of Moses finds its ways in the book of Psalms. As if Moses didn’t write songs. Read Deuteronomy 32:1-43. A solemn song given before the death of Moshe. Yet understanding this context as Torah observers we always approach scriptures from a Hebraic perspective because the words given to Moshe were given in the ancient Aleph-Bet. As the 1st commandments were written by Elohim and then the 2nd set of commandments transcribed by Moshe. A Hebrew God unto His chosen, set apart people, Hebrews.
    What does it mean to teach us to number our days though? Could it mean counting up to our birthdays again I emphasize the counting up. Which is so different from the examples Adonai gave to Israel versus the Pagan mindset of counting down. New Year’s folks count down and various other occurrences and celebrations the world participates in. But Hebraically we are taught to be set apart and follow the examples Hashem has given us from creation.

    Leviticus 20:26 Rather, you people are to be holy for me; because I, Adonai, am holy; and I have set you apart from the other peoples so that you can belong to me.

    Deuteronomy 14:2 because you are a people set apart as holy for Adonai your God. Adonai your God has chosen you to be his own unique treasure out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.

    Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I separated you for myself. I have appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”

    Hebrews 10:10 It is in connection with this will that we have been separated from God and made holy, once and for all, through the offering of Yeshua the Messiah’s body.

    In Genesis, we see from the beginning The Most High is using the numbering method to show us who has an ear and eyes to see to count up. Day 1-7 acts of creation and examples into understanding the plan of salvation is laid out before us.

    Genesis 1:3-5  3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. So there was evening, and there was morning, one day.

    The light of the Most High separated darkness so that things that were not seen could be seen. Once again a separation process and we look at the word light in Hebrew which is Ore which means to shine. This is where we get the Torah which is the Most Highs teachings and instructions separating the Light of truth from the false darkness of this world. From the beginning, He knew darkness would engross the minds of mankind. But to those that know how to count will not be deceived.

    Genesis 1:7-8  7 God made the dome and divided the water under the dome from the water above the dome; that is how it was, 8 and God called the dome Sky. So there was evening, and there was morning, the second day.

    This separation from the sky’s above from the earth below pointing to the wisdom of The Most High versus the doctrines of man knowing that in time man would worship things in his own wisdom versus the God of Abraham. Isaiah 55:9 says “As the Heavens are above the earth so are my ways higher than your ways.

    Genesis 1:10-13  10 God called the dry land Earth, the gathering together of the water he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.  11 God said, “Let the earth put forth grass, seed-producing plants, and fruit trees, each yielding its own kind of seed-bearing fruit, on the earth”; and that is how it was. 12 The earth brought forth grass, plants each yielding its own kind of seed, and trees each producing its own kind of seed-bearing fruit, and God saw that it was good. 13 So there was evening, and there was morning, the third day.

    The separation of Earth and the Sea and the vegetation of the earth The Most Highs plan for provision and within the provision. The plan of salvation for his children to bare fruits of righteousness and in turn causing more to wake up to salvation. He is super bad at counting all!!

    Genesis 1:14-19  14 God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth”; and that is how it was. 16 God made the two great lights — the larger light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night — and the stars. 17 God put them in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness, and God saw that it was good. 19 So there was evening, and there was morning, the fourth day.

    This one requires the whole scripture because there is so much meat in the meaning it could be a sermon or two. The light once again explained to separate darkness. But not only from darkness but signs to seasons, days, and years. As explains Leviticus 23 these signs and seasons are the Feast days of The God of Israel to observe hidden in the beginning never to be done away with. Established in the beginning of creation as we know it. Even still we have the assurance of light in darkness idiomatic to the false doctrine never ever overcoming truth even in this day and time.

    Genesis 1:21-23  21 God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that creeps so that the water swarmed with all kinds of them, and there was every kind of winged bird, and God saw that it was good. 22 Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, multiply and fill the water of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So there was evening, and there was morning, the fifth day.

    Separating land creatures from the sea creatures as the sun shines on the good and the bad the Lord Adonai is merciful and sovereign not to say these were bad because all He did was good. But to see the separation and the Fifth day establishing His eternal omnipotence and instructions as in the 5 books of the Torah the foundation of the teachings of El Shaddai 5 loaves of bread also the word of the Torah which we know,  Yeshua is the bread of Life.

    Genesis 1:26-31  26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth.”  27 So God created humankind in his own image;  In the image of God he created him:  Male and female he created them.  28 God blessed them: God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Here! Throughout the whole earth, I am giving you as food every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. 30 And to every wild animal, the bird in the air and creature crawling on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I am giving as food every kind of green plant.” And that is how it was. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed it was very good. So there was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day.

    The crown of His creation created and crowned in His image and likeness as rulers Kings of The Most Highs creation over all things pertained to this earth. The Sixth day.

    Genesis 2:1-3  1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, along with everything in them. 2 On the seventh day God was finished with his work which he had made, so he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 God blessed the seventh day and separated it as holy; because on that day, God rested from all his work which he had created so that it itself could produce.

    The 7th day is so powerful to establish the omnificent of The Most High and to set this day apart from all other days as the Day the Most High rested from His work and a statute for His children that are called by His name to follow His example. Rest on this day.  Now as we have looked at these 7 days of creation in counting and understanding one part of their meaning. Let’s go deeper into what counting can provide you as a believer of the word because you’re going to really need to know how to count in order to unlock spiritual truths of the Most High is conveying. Watch as one example, Peter spoke of a thousand days is a thousand years to Adonai. When we understand this matter that must not be hidden from us we are able to understand the clear work and redemption of our Master as we can see this being firmly declared in Creation Week that gives us a shadow or a picture and pattern for the 7 Millennium (7000 years) of this age, before the renewed heavens and earth shall come. Those who prepare their hearts, or rather establish in their hearts, to seek יהוה and guard all He commands, will be firmly established in His Reign to come, while those who do not, will not!!!
    This counting to 50 is a clear command and reminder for us to be a people whose hearts are being faithfully prepared and established to seek יהוה with our all! Only true ‘counters’ or those who are being taught to number their days, by the pure wisdom of Elohim, will understand
    What His desire is, and this counting to 50 confirms this for us, as we who walk in His wisdom by guarding His Sabbaths, Feasts and all His commands, understand His desire – which is our set-apartness! Those who cannot count are like the foolish maidens who lack pure oil and will be rejected as not being known by Elohim! Those who disregard the Sabbaths and Feast of יהוה clearly reveal that they cannot count, as they cannot count to 3, 7 or 50, and if they continue to refuse to be taught how to number their days they will not be counted worthy to enter the reign of our Master and
    Elohim!

    2 Peter 3:8  “But, beloved ones, let not this one matter be hidden from you: that with יהוה one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

    1 Samuel 13:13  “And Shemuʼěl said to Sha’ul, “You have been foolish. You have not guarded the command of יהוה your Elohim, which He commanded you. For now, יהוה would have established your reign over Yisra’ĕl forever.”

    Ephesians 5:15-16 15 “See then that you walk exactly, not as unwise, but as wise, 16 redeeming the time because the days are wicked. 17 So then do not be foolish, but understand what the desire of יהוה is.”

    Joshua 1:8  “Do not let this Book of the Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night so that you guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and act wisely.

    As we echo the prayer of Mosheh the man of Elohim, may we too cry out to Elohim and continually ask Him to: Teach us to number our days!!
    May our hearts be established in applying the wisdom of Elohim each and every day, guarding the charge to be a Counting people יהוה bless you and guard you; יהוה make His face shine upon you and show favor to you; יהוה lift up His face to you and give you shalom!
    Shema Selah  let us consider our days that the Most High has given us in the appointed time of the omer.  Day 4! Facebook LIVE video
