Two Brides, Become One Bride!!

Ezekiel 37

We are walking in today:  Two Brides, Become One Bride!!

There is a prophetic message being made by the fact that in the seventh month of the Hebrew year, both brides (typified in Leah & Rachel) will ultimately be made as one bride, and one stick in the hand of the Most High (Ezekiel 37:16). It is for this reason that our Messiah portrayed the role of the “Twin Goats” beginning with his baptism on the 1st of Elul, and continuing during the forty days leading up to Yom Kippur. Leviticus 16:7 commands that the High Priest takes two goats and presents them before the “door” of the Congregation of Tabernacle. These two goats represent Leah & Rachel, as they also typify the Two Houses of Yisra’el.

Seven Feasts of The Most High
1.) Passover: Messiah’s death as the Passover Lamb for the first-born & his death as the Red Heifer for “the prodigal son” Ephraim, the younger son in Luke 15. When the younger son returned home, the Father killed the “fatted calf”(Luke 15:23) symbolic of the Red Heifer. When the younger son receives this blood atonement for his sins, he is advanced to the “first-born” status when he is “born-again” of incorruptible seed by the Holy Spirit (1st Peter 1:23; Jeremiah 31:9).

2.) Unleavened Bread: Messiah’s burial. Leah was buried with Jacob but Rachel was not (Genesis 49:31). This means that only those who are willing to “die” to the old nature with Messiah in burial (baptism) will be raised to new life with him.

3.) First-Fruits: Messiah’s resurrection and “first-fruits” offering for the righteous souls who died under the Old Covenant are typified in the spring barley harvest.

4.) Pentecost: This 4th feast brings together all of those redeemed under both covenants (Leah & Rachel) and it is the “middle branch” on the menorah, as well as the “middle feast” representing Messiah who brings together both houses of Yisra’el and both covenants. Messiah came to us in the 4th millennium at his first coming and he comes from the tribe of Judah (the 4th son born to Leah) and he represents “the door” to the Father (the 4th letter in the Hebrew Alphabet) called “the dalet.”
Also, in the name YaHuWDaH (Judah), the dalet is the 4th letter. And finally, Messiah died on the 4th day of the week “in the midst of the week” (Daniel 9:27) and this was on a Wednesday. He also resurrected at the close of the 7th day of the week (the Sabbath) which represents his second coming at the last feast of the sacred year which is the Feast of Tabernacles.

Three Fall Feasts & Latter Rain Harvest
5.) Trumpets: This is the feast where the Renewed Covenant believers who are typified in Leah (Ten Northern Tribes of Ephraim) are redeemed. These symbolize the born-again (redeemed) gentiles, (nations) the bullock, the Red Heifer. These are redeemed at the sound of the last trumpet on this feast.

There are four different types of trumpets sounded on the Feast of Trumpets and the number “4” represents “the four angels from the four winds of heaven who gather the elect from the four corners of the earth!” These four types of trumpet blasts are as follows:

*First Trumpet: The Tekiah - A pure unbroken sound that calls man to search his heart, forsake his wrong ways, and seek forgiveness through repentance.

*Second Trumpet: The Shebarim - A broken, staccato, trembling sound. It typifies the sorrow that comes to man when he realizes his misconduct and desires to change his ways. It sounds like a man moaning in repentance.

*Third Trumpet: The Teruah - A wave-like sound of alarm calling upon man to stand by the banner of Elohiym.

*Fourth Trumpet: The Tekiah Gedolah - The prolonged, unbroken sound typifying a final appeal to sincere repentance and atonement.

This 4th trumpet is “the last trumpet” sound made on the Feast of Trumpets and this represents “the four angels from the four winds and the four corners of the earth” as they gather the elect (Matthew 24:29-31).

6.) Yom Kippur: This is the 6th feast of the year and it represents the redemption of mankind, because Adam was created on the 6th day of creation. This will be the day when the remnant from the House of Yahuwdah (Judah) who are sealed (according to Ezekiel 9 & Revelation 7) will see their Messiah “face-to-face.” This will happen at the Jubilee in the last 50th year as redemption for the House of Yahuwdah (Judah). This is when Yahuwshuwa will also be married to the other bride from the House of Judah who will finally accept him as their Messiah when they see him face-to-face. These redeemed Hebrews are typified in Rachel.

7.) Tabernacles: This feast will begin the “in-gathering” of both Houses of Yisra’el as Messiah will make them both as “one stick” (Ezekiel 37:16-17) or one bride and this will commence the “Sabbath Millennium” which will last for 1,000 years or (one day) as “One thousand years is like one day to The Most High” (2nd Peter 3:8).

While the Feast of Trumpets takes place at the Civil New Year (because it commences at the time of creation when linear time began), it can be seen as “the anniversary of time.” The Most High’s physical creation of man began on the 1st of Tishri in the 7th month with Adam. But mankind’s spiritual redemption began in the 1st month of Abib when the Most High brought Yisra’el out of Egypt. Hence, the 1st day of the 7th month is when we are born physically, and the 1st day of the 1st month is when we are born spiritually. This reminds us of what Yahuwshuwa said to Nicodemus:

Yahuwchanon (John) 3:5-6  5 Yahuwshuwa answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Elohiym. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

We must first be born of water (the amniotic sack in the mother’s womb) which means we are born physically of water. And then we are born-again when we die to the old sinful nature in baptism of the water of repentance. And that is when we are born from above of the Ruwach ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit). Hence, the fall feasts are akin to being born physically (of water) and the spring feasts are akin to being born spiritually (of the Spirit). The New Year in the spring on the first of Abib represents our spiritual birth or renewal. But the Civil New Year in the fall (between Yom Teruah & Yom Kippur) represents our physical birth when we put on immortality in the future!

Shema Selah let us fully consider being born again first the natural then the spiritual!!
