Today we are walking in: TWIN GOATS FOR TWO BRIDES!
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 16:7–10
And he shall take את eth the two goats, and present them before YAHUAH at the door of the Tabernacle of the assembly. And Aharon shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for YAHUAH, and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aharon shall bring the goat upon which YAHUAH’S lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before YAHUAH, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

ATONEMENT
Today we look to the word—ATONEMENT—H3722—kaphar—to cover, purge, make an atonement, make reconciliation, forgive, pardon, or cleanse.

Vayiqra (Leviticus) 16:16
And he shall make an atonement H3722 for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Yashar’el, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the Tabernacle of the assembly, that remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

The Writings Witness………
Tehilliym (Psalms) 65:3
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away H3722.
Tehilliym (Psalms) 78:38
But he, being full of compassion, forgave H3722 their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Divrei Hayamiym Sheniy (2 Chronicles) 30:18
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephrayim, and Menashsheh, Yisshakar, and Zevulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the Pecach otherwise than it was written. But Yechizqiyahu prayed for them, saying, The good YAHUAH pardon H3722 everyone.
We see the same pattern again following the Feast of Trumpets in the fall where there are “ten days of tarrying” for the bride leading up to Yom Kippur.
In 27 A.D., Just before his 30th birthday YAHUSHA’S baptism (mikvah) took place on the 1st of Elul in the 6th Hebrew month. At this time he began to fulfill the role of the “twin goats” leading up to Yom Kippur.
His mikvah was a fulfillment of the “sacrificial goat” and the legal moment of his death, because mikvah is a symbol of death (Romaiym 6:3–4).
Immediately following his mikvah, he was sent into the wilderness to fast and pray for Yisra’el as the “scapegoat.”
Mashiach fulfilled the pattern of the twin goats on Yom Kippur and then he also fulfilled the role of the Kohen Gadowl (High Priest) that year when he read Yeshayahu 61:1–2 in the synagogue (Luqas 4:19) and he declared “The acceptable year of YAHUAH.”
Yochanon the Immerser was the Levitical High Priest that year who acted as the one who would “kill the goat” symbolically (Vayiqra 16:15). It is for this very reason that he cried out when he saw YAHUSHA coming to be baptized, as he declared “Behold, the Lamb of YAHUAH ELOHIYM who takes away the sin of the world!” (Yochanon 1:29–36).
Immediately following his mikvah, he was sent to the wilderness by the RUACH HA’QODESH as the “scape-goat” or in Hebrew “Azazel.”
The definition of a “scapegoat” is “The innocent party who takes the blame for the guilty party.” During his days of fasting in the wilderness, YAHUSHA remained there for “forty days” and he prayed for Yisra’el to repent and come back to Torah.
When he emerged from the wilderness, he went into the temple as the new High Priest after the order of Malkiy-Tsedeq (Ivriym 5 & 7) and then he read Yeshayahu 61:1–2 in the synagogue as he declared that he was the “anointed one”—the HA’MASHIACH—and he also declared “The acceptable year of YAHUAH” (Luqas 4:19).
This was Yom Kippur language, as the High Priest was the only one who could declare that Yisra’el was either accepted or not accepted each year on Yom Kippur.
If the sacrifice of the goat was accepted, the red ribbon would miraculously turn white (Yeshayahu 1:18) and this was a sign that the nation was forgiven that year. But if the red ribbon did not turn white, then their sins remained and they were not accepted. During the final “ten days” of his fast leading up to Yom Kippur, I suspect that this is when he was tempted of the devil and he overcame these temptations on behalf of his future bride who would have to “suffer tribulation for ten days.”
Parallels Between Mosheh & Mashiach’s Ministry for Yisra’el
Mosheh made “sacrifices” for the people, and then he sprinkled them before he ascended the second time up to Mount Sinai on the 1st day of the 6th Hebrew month of Elul. He remained there for forty days leading up to Yom Kippur (Shemoth 34:4–28). Our Mashiach was also sent into the wilderness on the 1st of Elul immediately following his mikvah.
On the 40th day of Mosheh being on Mount Sinai, he received the second set of Ten Commandments for Yisra’el which was their “renewed marriage covenant.”
This was after they had violated the first covenant with the molten calf in Shemoth 32. Yisra’el had taken “wedding vows” just before Mosheh went up to Mount Sinai the first time around and they agreed to “obey” the covenant. In the next verse in Shemoth 24:8, Mosheh then sprinkled the nation of Yisra’el with the blood of animals as atonement.
Then in Shemoth 24:12, Mosheh went up to receive the “two tables of testimony” or the “written marriage covenant” called a “ketuwbah” in Hebrew. In Shemoth 24:15, when Mosheh went up to receive the written marriage covenant for Yisra’el, the cloud “covered” the mountain for “six days” and on the “seventh day” Mosheh descended down the mountain to present to Yisra’el with the written marriage covenant in stone. This was Yom Kippur typology because the mountain was “covered” by a cloud.
There was a seven-day wedding ceremony during the last of these forty days while Mosheh was in the mountain receiving the marriage covenant.
In the future, during the “Ten Days of Awe” between The Feast of Trumpets & the Day of Atonement, there will also be a “seven-day” wedding for the bride of Mashiach. When Mosheh came down the mountain and found Yisra’el whoring with the molten calf, he then went back up the mountain to “make atonement” for their sins (Shemoth 32:30). He acted as the High Priest on Yom Kippur who made atonement for the entire nation. After this, in Shemoth 30:10–16, YAHUAH established an ordinance that Aharon and his sons would “make atonement” for the nation of Yisra’el once per year on Yom Kippur.
We then see that Mosheh acted as the “scape-goat” who was willing to have his name blotted out of the book of life so that the people would live.
Shemoth (Exodus) 32:32–33
32 Yet now, if you will forgive their sin—and if not, blot me, I pray you, out of your book which you have written.
33 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, Whosoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
To this very day, the Hebrew people have a saying during the “Ten Days of Awe” as they declare to one another “May your name not be blotted out of the book of life” or “May your name be written in the book of life.”
This is precisely why our Mashiach said to the Congregation at Sardis, that because their works were not found to be perfect, that they were in danger of having their names blotted out:
Chizayon (Revelation) 3:2–5
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before YAHUAH ELOHIYM.
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
4 You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Mosheh offered to have his name blotted out instead of the nation of Yisra’el as he was foreshadowing the role of the “scapegoat” who was the innocent party willing to take the blame for the guilty. Nevertheless, the people had to pay for their own sins because they sinned willfully after they had already received the sprinkling of the blood at the marriage ceremony.
On that day 3,000 men fell (Shemoth 32:28). In Ivriym 10 & Vayiqra 4:13–14, we read that atonement is only made for those who sin out of ignorance. But for those who sin willfully, they will have their names blotted out:
Ivriym (Hebrews) 10:26–30
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Mosheh’s Torah died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer (worse) punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden underfoot the Son of YAHUAH ELOHIYM, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the RUACH of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says YAHUAH. And again, YAHUAH shall judge his people.
In Chizayon 19:2, when our Mashiach returns on the day of “vengeance” he will punish all those who rejected his blood sacrifice and he will also “avenge” the blood of his set-apart ones (his saints).
In Shemoth 33:6 the Yisraelites “stripped off their ornaments” of pagan idolatry at Mount Horeb. The name “Sinai” literally means “Babylonian moon god,” but the name “Horeb” literally means “to kill and destroy.”
This is why in Galatiym 4:24, the emissary Sha’ul likened the first covenant on Mount Sinai to “bondage” because the people placed themselves back under bondage with the golden calf after they had already taken marriage vows with YAHUAH. Then at Mount Horeb, they stripped off their idolatry and this is where they chose to “die to the old sinful nature.” Hence, Mount Horeb represents freedom and repentance where they chose to renew their covenant with YAHUAH again.
In Shemoth 33:11, Mosheh communed with YAHUAH “face-to-face” on behalf of the people of Yisra’el and this is once again “Yom Kippur” language, for to this day the Hebrew people nicknamed the Day of Atonement “face to face!”
In Shemoth 34:10, when Mosheh returned to present a second set of Ten Commandments, instead of the stone tablets being broken, they were deposited into an ark made of incorruptible wood which never decays. And what is this a picture of? It is a picture of the bride receiving the “Torah” written in her heart and mind as a sign of the “Renewed Covenant” (Yirmeyahu 31:31–33, Ivriym 8:10, 10:16).
In the same way that these commandments of stone were deposited into an ark made of wood that is “incorruptible,” so the very same commandments were deposited into a brand new nature on the Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) in the 2nd chapter of Ma’asiym as 3,000 were saved on that day when they were “born-again of incorruptible seed!” (Kepha Ri’shon 1:23).
In Shemoth 34:28, when Mosheh returned after being in the mountain a second time for yet another “forty days and forty nights” and he received a “new” set of stone tablets as this prefigured the Renewed Covenant in Mashiach.
Our Mashiach also remained here after his resurrection for “forty days” teaching his disciples the Torah!
When Mosheh presented the second set of stone tablets to Yisra’el, and he deposited them into the Ark of the Covenant made of incorruptible wood and this was in the following year fifty days after “First Fruits,” on Shavuot.
In Devariym 4:10–12 we read that the people of Yisra’el gathered to “hear” the words of YAHUAH as he spoke out of the “midst of the fire.” This was the self-same day of the Feast of Shavuot when the RUACH HA’QODESH came upon the disciples as “tongues of fire” and they all “heard” the voice of YAHUAH each man in his own tongue (Ma’asiym 2:11). That is when the Torah was then “deposited” into their new incorruptible nature!
The first covenant that Mosheh presented to Yisra’el was during the forty days following Shavuot, but the second covenant was presented during the forty days leading up to Yom Kippur. When our Mashiach fasted during those very same “forty days” it was to “reverse the curse” of the broken covenant at Mount Sinai! But he also fasted for the future sins of the House of Yahudah who would later on reject his blood sacrifice for “forty years” leading up to 70 A.D. when the Romans came and laid siege to Yerushalayim.
Like Yechezq’el, our Mashiach fasted “one day for each year” for the sins of Yisra’el & Yahudah (Yechezq’el 4:6). Both Mosheh and our Mashiach YAHUSHA interceded for Yisra’el during the “forty days” leading up to Yom Kippur.
Mosheh had come “face-to-face” with YAHUAH himself and his face shone so brightly that he had to place a “veil” over his face to cover it (Shemoth 34:33–35). Once again this is Yom Kippur language!
Similarly, the “veil” in the temple “parted” on Pecach the moment that Mashiach died on the tree paving the way for the Renewed Covenant.
The second time around, Mosheh returned from Mount Sinai on the 40th day which was on Yom Kippur, but he did not deposit these commandments into the ark until the following spring which was on the 50th day after First Fruits when he presented a “Renewed Covenant” to Yisra’el, just as our Mashiach presented to Yisra’el a “Renewed Covenant” on the 50th day following his First Fruits resurrection!
Under the Mosaic Covenant, Yisra’el was cursed with the first covenant because of the golden calf. However, they were then redeemed with a Renewed Covenant during Yom Kippur when Mosheh made atonement for them.
In the last days, the House of Yahudah will be redeemed again on Yom Kippur when they finally accept the blood covenant of Mashiach. And thus we can see that with the ministry of Mosheh was on Yom Kippur when he “reversed the curse” with the golden calf for Yisra’el as a foreshadowing of our Mashiach when he would later on fast in the wilderness during those very same forty days for their forty years of unbelief in the wilderness. The four Spring Feasts represent Mashiach’s first coming and his redemption for the Lost Sheep of the House of Yisra’el (Ten Northern Tribes of Ephrayim). The three Fall Feasts at his second coming will bring together “the first and the last” born of Yisra’el as one bride.
And thus we see that following the three Spring Feasts of Pecach, Matstsah, & First Fruits there were “ten days” where the disciples had to “tarry” to receive the promised Renewed Covenant on Shavuot.
Also following the Feast of Trumpets, there is another period of “ten days” where the bride typified in Rachel will have to “tarry” and prepare herself to receive the promise of the Renewed Covenant as well.
Both Mosheh & Mashiach communed with the Father for “forty days” and then they both “made atonement” for Yisra’el’s sins on Yom Kippur. Both Mosheh & Mashiach “interceded” for Yisra’el for forty days leading up to Yom Kippur.
YAHUSHA remained here after his resurrection for “forty days” as he taught his disciples the Torah. Fifty days following the “First Fruits” (resurrection day), both Mosheh & Mashiach made a “deposit” of the renewed marriage covenant (Torah) into a vessel made of that which is “incorruptible.”
What pattern can we observe here? There are “ten days” in the spring between the ascension of YAHUSHA back to the Father and the day of Shavuot when the Torah was written on the bride’s heart. In the fall there are “ten days” following the bride’s ascension to the Father on Yom Teruw’ah leading up to Yom Kippur when the bride will have her heart restored to the “Living Torah” the Mashiach himself!
The number “forty” represents “testing” and “judgment” in scripture, but the number “ten” represents “the gentile nations.” The number “fifty” represents “The Year of Jubilee” which means freedom and redemption for the bride (Vayiqra 25:9–24).
And thus, we can see that within seven feasts annually, YAHUSHA will gather from the four corners of earth and the four winds of heaven, his elect out of ten nations from seven continents and they will be narrowed down to seven women or seven congregations. These seven congregations, will then be narrowed down to ten virgins. These will then be divided up into two groups (five wise & five foolish), until finally they will become “two brides,” that end up becoming only one bride on Yom Kippur!
Mattithyahu 25:32–33 shows us a picture of the nations being divided into “sheep on the right” (wise virgins) and “goats on the left” (foolish virgins).
During these final “Ten Days of Awe” the foolish virgins will have one last chance to repent and be filled with the “oil” of the RUACH HA’QODESH so that she can be ready to come “face-to-face” with the bridegroom. Both houses of Yisra’el will finally become “one house, one bride, one stick” in the hand of YAHUAH on the 10th day of the 7th month (Yom Kippur) in the 50th year of Jubilee!
A Chronological Timeline of the Fall Feasts of YAHUAH in the Final Days
1.) The Abomination of Desolation: Will be seen in the 3rd Hebrew Temple (Mattithyahu 24:15) and then there will be 42 months where the Anti-Mashiach will begin a false ministry, while concurrently, the Two Witnesses will prophesy against him globally for 3½ years. The Two Witnesses in Chizayon 11, are not limited to merely two individuals, but they are also two corporate groups called “The Two Candlesticks & The Two Olive trees.”
These two groups are seen as Smyrna & Philadelphia as well as Ephrayim & Yahudah.
2.) The Ministry of the Two Witnesses: Will last for 1,260 days until Yom Kippur, and then Mashiach will return and make both brides “one stick” in his hand. There will be 75 more days leading up to Chanukkah to “rebuild the Tabernacle of David” (Amoc 9:11, Ma’asiym 15:16). If we add 75 days to 1,260 days, this takes us to the 1,335 days in Daniy’el 12:11–12 as it says:
“And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”
3.) The Seven-day Wedding of Le’ah & Ya’aqov: In the same way that Ya’aqov was tricked into marrying Le’ah after seven years of working for Rachel, Mashiach will complete a total of 7 years of ministry (3½ years during his earthly ministry and the other 3½ years through his two witnesses). Then after his seven years are completed, there will be a 7-day literal marriage (one week), which will commence at the “last trumpet” (Qorintiym Ri’shon 15:52) on the Feast of Trumpets aka Yom Teruw’ah.
This will be the bride typified in Le’ah & Philadelphia and she will be changed into incorruption (immortality). This is the bride represented as the “five wise virgins” whose oil lamps are filled when the bridegroom comes.
To them is provided “an open door” (Chizayon 3:7–8). The door is then “shut” and the “five foolish virgins” must then go and “buy oil” during the “Ten Days of Awe” to be ready at the second coming of Mashiach.
In a Hebrew Wedding custom, during the first three of those days the bride is given a “three-day notice” that the groom is on the way. She hears the shouts from a “three day’s journey” in the distance and she knows that sometime within those three days, he will be there to catch her away. This could very well be the same period of 3½ days where the Two Witnesses will have their dead bodies lying in the streets and then at the sound of the 7th angel (7th trumpet), they are resurrected (Chizayon 11:11–15).
This is why this feast is prophetically called “The day that no man knows.”
Not only does the bride not know the precise timing of when the bridegroom will arrive (although she knows the approximate timing), but the enemy is not made privy to this timing so that he cannot come and kidnap the bride away. Another reason why Yom Teruw’ah is called “The day that no man knows” is because it cannot be determined by a fixed time on the calendar. It can only be determined by the first sighting of the new moon by the “Two Witnesses.”
Also, in a Hebrew Wedding custom, the bridegroom (not wanting to make known the exact timing of his arrival to the enemy), tells the nosey people who inquire about the wedding date “No man knows the day nor the hour—only my father knows” (Mattithyahu 24:36). This is a Hebrew Idiom for the Feast of Trumpets.
4.) Rachel Left Out of the Wedding Until Yom Kippur: Those “five foolish virgins” who are not ready are caught off guard by “The thief in the night” and they shall not escape (Tasloniqiym Ri’shon 5:2–3). This bride will not see YAHUSHA as their Mashiach until that day when they will “look upon him whom they pierced” (Zakaryahu 12:10) and this will take place on Yom Kippur when the bride removes the veil and she sees him “face to face.”
Mashiach said of this group that they would not see him again until they say “Baruch Haba B’Shem YAHUAH” (Luqas 13:35). This phrase in Hebrew is translated: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of YAHUAH.”
5.) The Thief in the Night: While the bride is enjoying a 7-day wedding with the bridegroom in a set-apart place called “the chamber” or “chuppah” (Tehilliym 19:5, Yo’el 2:16) the children of wrath who are caught off guard by “The thief in the night” are having bowls of wrath being poured out upon them and they still won’t repent (Daniy’el 12:10, Tasloniqiym Ri’shon 5:2, Chizayon 16:15).
This all happens during the “Ten Days of Awe.” The only ones who are “sealed” during this time are the “elect” from the House of Yahudah typified in Rachel & Smyrna (Chizayon 7:3 & Yechezq’el 9:4).
6.) Ten Days of Awe: There are ten days between the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruw’ah) & the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). During these ten days, the first bride typified in Le’ah has already gone into the marriage with the bridegroom and now the second bride typified in Rachel will have ten days to “afflict herself” by fasting and praying.
In Vayiqra 23:27, we are commanded to “afflict our souls” or else we shall be “cut off” and disinherited from Yisra’el. The Congregation of Smyrna typified in Rachel will spend these ten days like Ester who anointed herself with oil of myrrh to meet the king.
7.) The Second Coming of Mashiach on Yom Kippur: This will be “The Day of Vengeance” when Mashiach returns to avenge the blood of the set-apart ones as seen in Chizayon 19:2. He is seen coming in the clouds on a white horse with his army. His wife is also clothed in white linen fine and clean.
This commences the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb” (Chizayon 19:9), and this is when the bride will go into the Feast of Tabernacles and she will drink the 4th Pecach cup of wine with Mashiach which is the sealing of the covenant (Mattithyahu 26:29). This is when the final cup of wine is partaken of by the bride and the groom in a Hebrew Wedding.
Chizayon (Revelation) 19:7–8
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
On this same day of Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the High Priest in the temple would mix the blood of the bull (symbolic of Ephrayim & Le’ah) and the blood of the sacrificial goat (symbolic of Yahudah & Rachel) and the two bloods are then sprinkled on the mercy seat! The instructions for Yom Kippur are found in Vayiqra 16.
This means that both families (Le’ah & Rachel) who gave birth to Yahudah & Yoceph (Ephrayim) will then become “one family” on this day when the blood of both families are mixed together by the High Priest, YAHUSHA! This is the reason why there are always “twin goats” on Yom Kippur (one goat for each house of Yisra’el).
On that day, Mashiach will separate the obedient sheep from the disobedient goats (Mattithyahu 25:32). The two nations of Yisra’el (Ephrayim & Yahudah) will no longer be “goats” by nature (disobedient), but the remnant are going to be transformed into obedient sheep who “follow the lamb wherever he goes” (Chizayon 14:4).
YAHUSHA will then take vengeance on her enemies and avenge the blood of the set-apart ones (saints) on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). This is the day of wrath for the wicked (Mishlei 6:34, Yeshayahu 34:8, 61:2, Chizayon 19:2).
8.) The Seven-day Wedding of Rachel & Ya’aqov: In the same way that Rachel was also married to Ya’aqov after the “seven-day” wedding of her older sister Le’ah, so this other bride typified in Rachel & Smyrna will have to suffer tribulation for “ten days” until the second coming of Mashiach on Yom Kippur.
After both families become “one stick” in the hand of YAHUAH (Yechezq’el 37:16–17), then five days later on the Feast of Tabernacles aka Sukkot, there will be one big wedding reception, for both brides will then be only one bride!
9.) The Sabbath Millennium & the Eighth Day: On the final day of “The Feast of Tabernacles” or “Sukkot,” we are commanded to dwell in temporary shelters to remind us that this earth that we currently live in is temporary and it is passing away.
At the end of these seven days, the final day is called “Ha’Shannah Rabbah” which means “The Last Great Day.”
Another name for this last day of the Feast of Tabernacles is called “Shemini Atzeret” or “The Eighth Day.” In Kepha Sheniy 3:8 it says that “One day is as a thousand years with YAHUAH.”
This means that all during the Millennial Reign of Mashiach, it will be just like the “seventh day” Shabbat of rest that we enjoy each week because it will take place in the 7,000th year from creation. Our Mashiach will “tabernacle” or “dwell” with us for a thousand years of Shabbat rest.
Our calendar week is meant to be a “mini” creation week. In the beginning, YAHUAH created everything in six days and on the seventh day he rested. Every seventh day when we observe Shabbat, we are observing a “mini” version of the Sabbath Millennium when we shall “rule and reign” with Mashiach.
And then, after the one-thousand years are finished, we will go into the “eighth day” or the “eighth millennium” which parallels to the last day of The Feast of Tabernacles. At the end of the Millennium, this present earth that we know of will pass away. This temporary earth or shelter that we dwell in will be replaced by a “New Heaven & a New Earth” (Chizayon 21:1).
At the end of the Millennium on the “Last Great Day” will be the “white throne judgment seat of Mashiach” (Chizayon 20:11–15).
The righteous will receive rewards as to whether his works were of “wood, hay or stubble” (Qorintiym Ri’shon 3:12).
Let Us Prepare Ourselves For the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!
The commandment to “Prepare the way of YAHUAH” was preached by all the prophets of Yisra’el and by Yochanon the Immerser.
This commandment is given for “All Yisra’el” and this includes those who thought that they were merely “Gentiles” but now they have discovered their true identity as “Renewed Covenant Yisra’el.”
The Day of Blowing or Yom Teruw’ah
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:23–25
23 And YAHUAH spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Yisra’el, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a Shabbat, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation (rehearsal).
25 You shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH.
The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:26–32
26 And YAHUAH spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation (rehearsal) unto you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH.
28 And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before YAHUAH ELOHAYKEM.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that does any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 You shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a Shabbat of rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening unto evening, shall you celebrate your Shabbat.
How Does the Bride Prepare?
The “word” of YAHUAH is the “lamp” that lights the bride’s path to find the bridegroom, and the “word” is also the Torah, called “the book of truth” (Tehilliym 119:142). Philadelphia was commended for “keeping the word” of his patience.
The oil in her lamp is also “the seven ruachoth” of YAHUAH (Yeshayahu 11:2, Chizayon 4:5, 5:6) that illuminates the “seven-branch menorah” in the temple. It is the RUACH of YAHUAH that illuminates our understanding of his word.
This means that the bride must have both RUACH & Truth, she must have both Wisdom & Revelation. In other words, she must possess the DOUBLE PORTION ANOINTING!
Tehilliym (Psalms) 119:105
Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Is it possible for the elect to lose their salvation?
Chizayon (Revelation) 3:5
He that overcomes the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Beloved, there is a condition to being able to remain in the book of life. That condition is that you must “overcome” the world, the flesh and the devil.
And how do we overcome?
Chizayon (Revelation) 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
What is the Word of Our Testimony?
Shemoth (Exodus) 31:18
And he gave unto Mosheh, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of YAHUAH ELOHIYM.
Beloved, our testimony is the Torah written in our hearts by the finger of YAHUAH! The Renewed Marriage Covenant that Mashiach sealed with his own blood is written in the heart of the bride, and that marriage contract is the “written Torah” called a “ketuwbah.”
According to an Ancient Hebrew Wedding tradition, a bride may not enjoy intimacy with her bridegroom without the written marriage agreement on her at all times—in other words the bride must have the written Torah in her heart!
Those who are engaged to be married to the Lamb, have both the “testimony” (the Torah written in their hearts) and the “RUACH” (the oil) in their lamps to light their path to meet the bridegroom. And they must also wash their garments in the blood of the Lamb. In order for a covenant to be valid, there has to be two or three witnesses.
Chizayon (Revelation) 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of YAHUSHA: worship YAHUAH ELOHIYM for the testimony of YAHUSHA is the ruach of prophecy.
What is interesting is that the word for “testimony” in Hebrew is:
H5715—eduwth—which means “a witness.”
Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 5:5–8
5 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that YAHUSHA is the Son of YAHUAH ELOHIYM?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the RUACH that bears witness, because the RUACH is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the RUACH HA’QODESH: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the RUACH, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
The bride has all three: The RUACH, the Water & the Blood!
What Does the Bride Overcome?
Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 3:4
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the Torah: for sin is the transgression of the Torah.
Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 3:9
Whosoever is born of YAHUAH ELOHIYM does not commit sin (lawlessness); for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin (disobey Torah), because he is born of YAHUAH ELOHIYM.
The “five wise virgins” have overcome the world and all that is in the world which is “the pride of life, the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh” (Yochanon Ri’shon 2:16). In other words, the bride has overcome sin and lawlessness.
Now is the time to “repent” and rend your hearts (not merely your garments) which is superficial and outward:
Yo’el (Joel) 2:13
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto YAHUAH ELOHAYKEM: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.
Tehilliym (Psalms) 51:10, 16–17
10 Create in me a clean heart, O YAHUAH ELOHIYM; and renew a right ruach within me.
16 For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of YAHUAH ELOHIYM are a broken ruach: a broken and a contrite heart, O YAHUAH ELOHIYM, you will not despise.
Tehilliym (Psalms) 65:3
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away H3722.
Tehilliym (Psalms) 78:38
But he, being full of compassion, forgave H3722 their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Divrei Hayamiym Sheniy (2 Chronicles) 30:18
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephrayim, and Menashsheh, Yisshakar, and Zevulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the Pecach otherwise than it was written. But Yechizqiyahu prayed for them, saying, The good YAHUAH pardon H3722 everyone.
We see the same pattern again following the Feast of Trumpets in the fall where there are “ten days of tarrying” for the bride leading up to Yom Kippur.
In 27 A.D., Just before his 30th birthday YAHUSHA’S baptism (mikvah) took place on the 1st of Elul in the 6th Hebrew month. At this time he began to fulfill the role of the “twin goats” leading up to Yom Kippur.
His mikvah was a fulfillment of the “sacrificial goat” and the legal moment of his death, because mikvah is a symbol of death (Romaiym 6:3–4).
Immediately following his mikvah, he was sent into the wilderness to fast and pray for Yisra’el as the “scapegoat.”
Mashiach fulfilled the pattern of the twin goats on Yom Kippur and then he also fulfilled the role of the Kohen Gadowl (High Priest) that year when he read Yeshayahu 61:1–2 in the synagogue (Luqas 4:19) and he declared “The acceptable year of YAHUAH.”
Yochanon the Immerser was the Levitical High Priest that year who acted as the one who would “kill the goat” symbolically (Vayiqra 16:15). It is for this very reason that he cried out when he saw YAHUSHA coming to be baptized, as he declared “Behold, the Lamb of YAHUAH ELOHIYM who takes away the sin of the world!” (Yochanon 1:29–36).
Immediately following his mikvah, he was sent to the wilderness by the RUACH HA’QODESH as the “scape-goat” or in Hebrew “Azazel.”
The definition of a “scapegoat” is “The innocent party who takes the blame for the guilty party.” During his days of fasting in the wilderness, YAHUSHA remained there for “forty days” and he prayed for Yisra’el to repent and come back to Torah.
When he emerged from the wilderness, he went into the temple as the new High Priest after the order of Malkiy-Tsedeq (Ivriym 5 & 7) and then he read Yeshayahu 61:1–2 in the synagogue as he declared that he was the “anointed one”—the HA’MASHIACH—and he also declared “The acceptable year of YAHUAH” (Luqas 4:19).
This was Yom Kippur language, as the High Priest was the only one who could declare that Yisra’el was either accepted or not accepted each year on Yom Kippur.
If the sacrifice of the goat was accepted, the red ribbon would miraculously turn white (Yeshayahu 1:18) and this was a sign that the nation was forgiven that year. But if the red ribbon did not turn white, then their sins remained and they were not accepted. During the final “ten days” of his fast leading up to Yom Kippur, I suspect that this is when he was tempted of the devil and he overcame these temptations on behalf of his future bride who would have to “suffer tribulation for ten days.”
Parallels Between Mosheh & Mashiach’s Ministry for Yisra’el
Mosheh made “sacrifices” for the people, and then he sprinkled them before he ascended the second time up to Mount Sinai on the 1st day of the 6th Hebrew month of Elul. He remained there for forty days leading up to Yom Kippur (Shemoth 34:4–28). Our Mashiach was also sent into the wilderness on the 1st of Elul immediately following his mikvah.
On the 40th day of Mosheh being on Mount Sinai, he received the second set of Ten Commandments for Yisra’el which was their “renewed marriage covenant.”
This was after they had violated the first covenant with the molten calf in Shemoth 32. Yisra’el had taken “wedding vows” just before Mosheh went up to Mount Sinai the first time around and they agreed to “obey” the covenant. In the next verse in Shemoth 24:8, Mosheh then sprinkled the nation of Yisra’el with the blood of animals as atonement.
Then in Shemoth 24:12, Mosheh went up to receive the “two tables of testimony” or the “written marriage covenant” called a “ketuwbah” in Hebrew. In Shemoth 24:15, when Mosheh went up to receive the written marriage covenant for Yisra’el, the cloud “covered” the mountain for “six days” and on the “seventh day” Mosheh descended down the mountain to present to Yisra’el with the written marriage covenant in stone. This was Yom Kippur typology because the mountain was “covered” by a cloud.
There was a seven-day wedding ceremony during the last of these forty days while Mosheh was in the mountain receiving the marriage covenant.
In the future, during the “Ten Days of Awe” between The Feast of Trumpets & the Day of Atonement, there will also be a “seven-day” wedding for the bride of Mashiach. When Mosheh came down the mountain and found Yisra’el whoring with the molten calf, he then went back up the mountain to “make atonement” for their sins (Shemoth 32:30). He acted as the High Priest on Yom Kippur who made atonement for the entire nation. After this, in Shemoth 30:10–16, YAHUAH established an ordinance that Aharon and his sons would “make atonement” for the nation of Yisra’el once per year on Yom Kippur.
We then see that Mosheh acted as the “scape-goat” who was willing to have his name blotted out of the book of life so that the people would live.
Shemoth (Exodus) 32:32–33
32 Yet now, if you will forgive their sin—and if not, blot me, I pray you, out of your book which you have written.
33 And YAHUAH said unto Mosheh, Whosoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
To this very day, the Hebrew people have a saying during the “Ten Days of Awe” as they declare to one another “May your name not be blotted out of the book of life” or “May your name be written in the book of life.”
This is precisely why our Mashiach said to the Congregation at Sardis, that because their works were not found to be perfect, that they were in danger of having their names blotted out:
Chizayon (Revelation) 3:2–5
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before YAHUAH ELOHIYM.
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
4 You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Mosheh offered to have his name blotted out instead of the nation of Yisra’el as he was foreshadowing the role of the “scapegoat” who was the innocent party willing to take the blame for the guilty. Nevertheless, the people had to pay for their own sins because they sinned willfully after they had already received the sprinkling of the blood at the marriage ceremony.
On that day 3,000 men fell (Shemoth 32:28). In Ivriym 10 & Vayiqra 4:13–14, we read that atonement is only made for those who sin out of ignorance. But for those who sin willfully, they will have their names blotted out:
Ivriym (Hebrews) 10:26–30
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Mosheh’s Torah died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer (worse) punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden underfoot the Son of YAHUAH ELOHIYM, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the RUACH of grace?
30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says YAHUAH. And again, YAHUAH shall judge his people.
In Chizayon 19:2, when our Mashiach returns on the day of “vengeance” he will punish all those who rejected his blood sacrifice and he will also “avenge” the blood of his set-apart ones (his saints).
In Shemoth 33:6 the Yisraelites “stripped off their ornaments” of pagan idolatry at Mount Horeb. The name “Sinai” literally means “Babylonian moon god,” but the name “Horeb” literally means “to kill and destroy.”
This is why in Galatiym 4:24, the emissary Sha’ul likened the first covenant on Mount Sinai to “bondage” because the people placed themselves back under bondage with the golden calf after they had already taken marriage vows with YAHUAH. Then at Mount Horeb, they stripped off their idolatry and this is where they chose to “die to the old sinful nature.” Hence, Mount Horeb represents freedom and repentance where they chose to renew their covenant with YAHUAH again.
In Shemoth 33:11, Mosheh communed with YAHUAH “face-to-face” on behalf of the people of Yisra’el and this is once again “Yom Kippur” language, for to this day the Hebrew people nicknamed the Day of Atonement “face to face!”
In Shemoth 34:10, when Mosheh returned to present a second set of Ten Commandments, instead of the stone tablets being broken, they were deposited into an ark made of incorruptible wood which never decays. And what is this a picture of? It is a picture of the bride receiving the “Torah” written in her heart and mind as a sign of the “Renewed Covenant” (Yirmeyahu 31:31–33, Ivriym 8:10, 10:16).
In the same way that these commandments of stone were deposited into an ark made of wood that is “incorruptible,” so the very same commandments were deposited into a brand new nature on the Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) in the 2nd chapter of Ma’asiym as 3,000 were saved on that day when they were “born-again of incorruptible seed!” (Kepha Ri’shon 1:23).
In Shemoth 34:28, when Mosheh returned after being in the mountain a second time for yet another “forty days and forty nights” and he received a “new” set of stone tablets as this prefigured the Renewed Covenant in Mashiach.
Our Mashiach also remained here after his resurrection for “forty days” teaching his disciples the Torah!
When Mosheh presented the second set of stone tablets to Yisra’el, and he deposited them into the Ark of the Covenant made of incorruptible wood and this was in the following year fifty days after “First Fruits,” on Shavuot.
In Devariym 4:10–12 we read that the people of Yisra’el gathered to “hear” the words of YAHUAH as he spoke out of the “midst of the fire.” This was the self-same day of the Feast of Shavuot when the RUACH HA’QODESH came upon the disciples as “tongues of fire” and they all “heard” the voice of YAHUAH each man in his own tongue (Ma’asiym 2:11). That is when the Torah was then “deposited” into their new incorruptible nature!
The first covenant that Mosheh presented to Yisra’el was during the forty days following Shavuot, but the second covenant was presented during the forty days leading up to Yom Kippur. When our Mashiach fasted during those very same “forty days” it was to “reverse the curse” of the broken covenant at Mount Sinai! But he also fasted for the future sins of the House of Yahudah who would later on reject his blood sacrifice for “forty years” leading up to 70 A.D. when the Romans came and laid siege to Yerushalayim.
Like Yechezq’el, our Mashiach fasted “one day for each year” for the sins of Yisra’el & Yahudah (Yechezq’el 4:6). Both Mosheh and our Mashiach YAHUSHA interceded for Yisra’el during the “forty days” leading up to Yom Kippur.
Mosheh had come “face-to-face” with YAHUAH himself and his face shone so brightly that he had to place a “veil” over his face to cover it (Shemoth 34:33–35). Once again this is Yom Kippur language!
Similarly, the “veil” in the temple “parted” on Pecach the moment that Mashiach died on the tree paving the way for the Renewed Covenant.
The second time around, Mosheh returned from Mount Sinai on the 40th day which was on Yom Kippur, but he did not deposit these commandments into the ark until the following spring which was on the 50th day after First Fruits when he presented a “Renewed Covenant” to Yisra’el, just as our Mashiach presented to Yisra’el a “Renewed Covenant” on the 50th day following his First Fruits resurrection!
Under the Mosaic Covenant, Yisra’el was cursed with the first covenant because of the golden calf. However, they were then redeemed with a Renewed Covenant during Yom Kippur when Mosheh made atonement for them.
In the last days, the House of Yahudah will be redeemed again on Yom Kippur when they finally accept the blood covenant of Mashiach. And thus we can see that with the ministry of Mosheh was on Yom Kippur when he “reversed the curse” with the golden calf for Yisra’el as a foreshadowing of our Mashiach when he would later on fast in the wilderness during those very same forty days for their forty years of unbelief in the wilderness. The four Spring Feasts represent Mashiach’s first coming and his redemption for the Lost Sheep of the House of Yisra’el (Ten Northern Tribes of Ephrayim). The three Fall Feasts at his second coming will bring together “the first and the last” born of Yisra’el as one bride.
And thus we see that following the three Spring Feasts of Pecach, Matstsah, & First Fruits there were “ten days” where the disciples had to “tarry” to receive the promised Renewed Covenant on Shavuot.
Also following the Feast of Trumpets, there is another period of “ten days” where the bride typified in Rachel will have to “tarry” and prepare herself to receive the promise of the Renewed Covenant as well.
Both Mosheh & Mashiach communed with the Father for “forty days” and then they both “made atonement” for Yisra’el’s sins on Yom Kippur. Both Mosheh & Mashiach “interceded” for Yisra’el for forty days leading up to Yom Kippur.
YAHUSHA remained here after his resurrection for “forty days” as he taught his disciples the Torah. Fifty days following the “First Fruits” (resurrection day), both Mosheh & Mashiach made a “deposit” of the renewed marriage covenant (Torah) into a vessel made of that which is “incorruptible.”
What pattern can we observe here? There are “ten days” in the spring between the ascension of YAHUSHA back to the Father and the day of Shavuot when the Torah was written on the bride’s heart. In the fall there are “ten days” following the bride’s ascension to the Father on Yom Teruw’ah leading up to Yom Kippur when the bride will have her heart restored to the “Living Torah” the Mashiach himself!
The number “forty” represents “testing” and “judgment” in scripture, but the number “ten” represents “the gentile nations.” The number “fifty” represents “The Year of Jubilee” which means freedom and redemption for the bride (Vayiqra 25:9–24).
And thus, we can see that within seven feasts annually, YAHUSHA will gather from the four corners of earth and the four winds of heaven, his elect out of ten nations from seven continents and they will be narrowed down to seven women or seven congregations. These seven congregations, will then be narrowed down to ten virgins. These will then be divided up into two groups (five wise & five foolish), until finally they will become “two brides,” that end up becoming only one bride on Yom Kippur!
Mattithyahu 25:32–33 shows us a picture of the nations being divided into “sheep on the right” (wise virgins) and “goats on the left” (foolish virgins).
During these final “Ten Days of Awe” the foolish virgins will have one last chance to repent and be filled with the “oil” of the RUACH HA’QODESH so that she can be ready to come “face-to-face” with the bridegroom. Both houses of Yisra’el will finally become “one house, one bride, one stick” in the hand of YAHUAH on the 10th day of the 7th month (Yom Kippur) in the 50th year of Jubilee!
A Chronological Timeline of the Fall Feasts of YAHUAH in the Final Days
1.) The Abomination of Desolation: Will be seen in the 3rd Hebrew Temple (Mattithyahu 24:15) and then there will be 42 months where the Anti-Mashiach will begin a false ministry, while concurrently, the Two Witnesses will prophesy against him globally for 3½ years. The Two Witnesses in Chizayon 11, are not limited to merely two individuals, but they are also two corporate groups called “The Two Candlesticks & The Two Olive trees.”
These two groups are seen as Smyrna & Philadelphia as well as Ephrayim & Yahudah.
2.) The Ministry of the Two Witnesses: Will last for 1,260 days until Yom Kippur, and then Mashiach will return and make both brides “one stick” in his hand. There will be 75 more days leading up to Chanukkah to “rebuild the Tabernacle of David” (Amoc 9:11, Ma’asiym 15:16). If we add 75 days to 1,260 days, this takes us to the 1,335 days in Daniy’el 12:11–12 as it says:
“And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”
3.) The Seven-day Wedding of Le’ah & Ya’aqov: In the same way that Ya’aqov was tricked into marrying Le’ah after seven years of working for Rachel, Mashiach will complete a total of 7 years of ministry (3½ years during his earthly ministry and the other 3½ years through his two witnesses). Then after his seven years are completed, there will be a 7-day literal marriage (one week), which will commence at the “last trumpet” (Qorintiym Ri’shon 15:52) on the Feast of Trumpets aka Yom Teruw’ah.
This will be the bride typified in Le’ah & Philadelphia and she will be changed into incorruption (immortality). This is the bride represented as the “five wise virgins” whose oil lamps are filled when the bridegroom comes.
To them is provided “an open door” (Chizayon 3:7–8). The door is then “shut” and the “five foolish virgins” must then go and “buy oil” during the “Ten Days of Awe” to be ready at the second coming of Mashiach.
In a Hebrew Wedding custom, during the first three of those days the bride is given a “three-day notice” that the groom is on the way. She hears the shouts from a “three day’s journey” in the distance and she knows that sometime within those three days, he will be there to catch her away. This could very well be the same period of 3½ days where the Two Witnesses will have their dead bodies lying in the streets and then at the sound of the 7th angel (7th trumpet), they are resurrected (Chizayon 11:11–15).
This is why this feast is prophetically called “The day that no man knows.”
Not only does the bride not know the precise timing of when the bridegroom will arrive (although she knows the approximate timing), but the enemy is not made privy to this timing so that he cannot come and kidnap the bride away. Another reason why Yom Teruw’ah is called “The day that no man knows” is because it cannot be determined by a fixed time on the calendar. It can only be determined by the first sighting of the new moon by the “Two Witnesses.”
Also, in a Hebrew Wedding custom, the bridegroom (not wanting to make known the exact timing of his arrival to the enemy), tells the nosey people who inquire about the wedding date “No man knows the day nor the hour—only my father knows” (Mattithyahu 24:36). This is a Hebrew Idiom for the Feast of Trumpets.
4.) Rachel Left Out of the Wedding Until Yom Kippur: Those “five foolish virgins” who are not ready are caught off guard by “The thief in the night” and they shall not escape (Tasloniqiym Ri’shon 5:2–3). This bride will not see YAHUSHA as their Mashiach until that day when they will “look upon him whom they pierced” (Zakaryahu 12:10) and this will take place on Yom Kippur when the bride removes the veil and she sees him “face to face.”
Mashiach said of this group that they would not see him again until they say “Baruch Haba B’Shem YAHUAH” (Luqas 13:35). This phrase in Hebrew is translated: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of YAHUAH.”
5.) The Thief in the Night: While the bride is enjoying a 7-day wedding with the bridegroom in a set-apart place called “the chamber” or “chuppah” (Tehilliym 19:5, Yo’el 2:16) the children of wrath who are caught off guard by “The thief in the night” are having bowls of wrath being poured out upon them and they still won’t repent (Daniy’el 12:10, Tasloniqiym Ri’shon 5:2, Chizayon 16:15).
This all happens during the “Ten Days of Awe.” The only ones who are “sealed” during this time are the “elect” from the House of Yahudah typified in Rachel & Smyrna (Chizayon 7:3 & Yechezq’el 9:4).
6.) Ten Days of Awe: There are ten days between the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruw’ah) & the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). During these ten days, the first bride typified in Le’ah has already gone into the marriage with the bridegroom and now the second bride typified in Rachel will have ten days to “afflict herself” by fasting and praying.
In Vayiqra 23:27, we are commanded to “afflict our souls” or else we shall be “cut off” and disinherited from Yisra’el. The Congregation of Smyrna typified in Rachel will spend these ten days like Ester who anointed herself with oil of myrrh to meet the king.
7.) The Second Coming of Mashiach on Yom Kippur: This will be “The Day of Vengeance” when Mashiach returns to avenge the blood of the set-apart ones as seen in Chizayon 19:2. He is seen coming in the clouds on a white horse with his army. His wife is also clothed in white linen fine and clean.
This commences the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb” (Chizayon 19:9), and this is when the bride will go into the Feast of Tabernacles and she will drink the 4th Pecach cup of wine with Mashiach which is the sealing of the covenant (Mattithyahu 26:29). This is when the final cup of wine is partaken of by the bride and the groom in a Hebrew Wedding.
Chizayon (Revelation) 19:7–8
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
On this same day of Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the High Priest in the temple would mix the blood of the bull (symbolic of Ephrayim & Le’ah) and the blood of the sacrificial goat (symbolic of Yahudah & Rachel) and the two bloods are then sprinkled on the mercy seat! The instructions for Yom Kippur are found in Vayiqra 16.
This means that both families (Le’ah & Rachel) who gave birth to Yahudah & Yoceph (Ephrayim) will then become “one family” on this day when the blood of both families are mixed together by the High Priest, YAHUSHA! This is the reason why there are always “twin goats” on Yom Kippur (one goat for each house of Yisra’el).
On that day, Mashiach will separate the obedient sheep from the disobedient goats (Mattithyahu 25:32). The two nations of Yisra’el (Ephrayim & Yahudah) will no longer be “goats” by nature (disobedient), but the remnant are going to be transformed into obedient sheep who “follow the lamb wherever he goes” (Chizayon 14:4).
YAHUSHA will then take vengeance on her enemies and avenge the blood of the set-apart ones (saints) on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). This is the day of wrath for the wicked (Mishlei 6:34, Yeshayahu 34:8, 61:2, Chizayon 19:2).
8.) The Seven-day Wedding of Rachel & Ya’aqov: In the same way that Rachel was also married to Ya’aqov after the “seven-day” wedding of her older sister Le’ah, so this other bride typified in Rachel & Smyrna will have to suffer tribulation for “ten days” until the second coming of Mashiach on Yom Kippur.
After both families become “one stick” in the hand of YAHUAH (Yechezq’el 37:16–17), then five days later on the Feast of Tabernacles aka Sukkot, there will be one big wedding reception, for both brides will then be only one bride!
9.) The Sabbath Millennium & the Eighth Day: On the final day of “The Feast of Tabernacles” or “Sukkot,” we are commanded to dwell in temporary shelters to remind us that this earth that we currently live in is temporary and it is passing away.
At the end of these seven days, the final day is called “Ha’Shannah Rabbah” which means “The Last Great Day.”
Another name for this last day of the Feast of Tabernacles is called “Shemini Atzeret” or “The Eighth Day.” In Kepha Sheniy 3:8 it says that “One day is as a thousand years with YAHUAH.”
This means that all during the Millennial Reign of Mashiach, it will be just like the “seventh day” Shabbat of rest that we enjoy each week because it will take place in the 7,000th year from creation. Our Mashiach will “tabernacle” or “dwell” with us for a thousand years of Shabbat rest.
Our calendar week is meant to be a “mini” creation week. In the beginning, YAHUAH created everything in six days and on the seventh day he rested. Every seventh day when we observe Shabbat, we are observing a “mini” version of the Sabbath Millennium when we shall “rule and reign” with Mashiach.
And then, after the one-thousand years are finished, we will go into the “eighth day” or the “eighth millennium” which parallels to the last day of The Feast of Tabernacles. At the end of the Millennium, this present earth that we know of will pass away. This temporary earth or shelter that we dwell in will be replaced by a “New Heaven & a New Earth” (Chizayon 21:1).
At the end of the Millennium on the “Last Great Day” will be the “white throne judgment seat of Mashiach” (Chizayon 20:11–15).
The righteous will receive rewards as to whether his works were of “wood, hay or stubble” (Qorintiym Ri’shon 3:12).
Let Us Prepare Ourselves For the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!
The commandment to “Prepare the way of YAHUAH” was preached by all the prophets of Yisra’el and by Yochanon the Immerser.
This commandment is given for “All Yisra’el” and this includes those who thought that they were merely “Gentiles” but now they have discovered their true identity as “Renewed Covenant Yisra’el.”
The Day of Blowing or Yom Teruw’ah
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:23–25
23 And YAHUAH spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Yisra’el, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a Shabbat, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation (rehearsal).
25 You shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH.
The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:26–32
26 And YAHUAH spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation (rehearsal) unto you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH.
28 And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before YAHUAH ELOHAYKEM.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that does any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 You shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a Shabbat of rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening unto evening, shall you celebrate your Shabbat.
How Does the Bride Prepare?
The “word” of YAHUAH is the “lamp” that lights the bride’s path to find the bridegroom, and the “word” is also the Torah, called “the book of truth” (Tehilliym 119:142). Philadelphia was commended for “keeping the word” of his patience.
The oil in her lamp is also “the seven ruachoth” of YAHUAH (Yeshayahu 11:2, Chizayon 4:5, 5:6) that illuminates the “seven-branch menorah” in the temple. It is the RUACH of YAHUAH that illuminates our understanding of his word.
This means that the bride must have both RUACH & Truth, she must have both Wisdom & Revelation. In other words, she must possess the DOUBLE PORTION ANOINTING!
Tehilliym (Psalms) 119:105
Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Is it possible for the elect to lose their salvation?
Chizayon (Revelation) 3:5
He that overcomes the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Beloved, there is a condition to being able to remain in the book of life. That condition is that you must “overcome” the world, the flesh and the devil.
And how do we overcome?
Chizayon (Revelation) 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
What is the Word of Our Testimony?
Shemoth (Exodus) 31:18
And he gave unto Mosheh, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of YAHUAH ELOHIYM.
Beloved, our testimony is the Torah written in our hearts by the finger of YAHUAH! The Renewed Marriage Covenant that Mashiach sealed with his own blood is written in the heart of the bride, and that marriage contract is the “written Torah” called a “ketuwbah.”
According to an Ancient Hebrew Wedding tradition, a bride may not enjoy intimacy with her bridegroom without the written marriage agreement on her at all times—in other words the bride must have the written Torah in her heart!
Those who are engaged to be married to the Lamb, have both the “testimony” (the Torah written in their hearts) and the “RUACH” (the oil) in their lamps to light their path to meet the bridegroom. And they must also wash their garments in the blood of the Lamb. In order for a covenant to be valid, there has to be two or three witnesses.
Chizayon (Revelation) 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of YAHUSHA: worship YAHUAH ELOHIYM for the testimony of YAHUSHA is the ruach of prophecy.
What is interesting is that the word for “testimony” in Hebrew is:
H5715—eduwth—which means “a witness.”
Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 5:5–8
5 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that YAHUSHA is the Son of YAHUAH ELOHIYM?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the RUACH that bears witness, because the RUACH is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the RUACH HA’QODESH: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the RUACH, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
The bride has all three: The RUACH, the Water & the Blood!
What Does the Bride Overcome?
Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 3:4
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the Torah: for sin is the transgression of the Torah.
Yochanon Ri’shon (1 John) 3:9
Whosoever is born of YAHUAH ELOHIYM does not commit sin (lawlessness); for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin (disobey Torah), because he is born of YAHUAH ELOHIYM.
The “five wise virgins” have overcome the world and all that is in the world which is “the pride of life, the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh” (Yochanon Ri’shon 2:16). In other words, the bride has overcome sin and lawlessness.
Now is the time to “repent” and rend your hearts (not merely your garments) which is superficial and outward:
Yo’el (Joel) 2:13
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto YAHUAH ELOHAYKEM: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.
Tehilliym (Psalms) 51:10, 16–17
10 Create in me a clean heart, O YAHUAH ELOHIYM; and renew a right ruach within me.
16 For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of YAHUAH ELOHIYM are a broken ruach: a broken and a contrite heart, O YAHUAH ELOHIYM, you will not despise.
