Bible Note: continued from previous post: Now…….how I personally got sucked into this off the wall cult……it seemed to me that the closer I could get to the original congregation of Y’shua the closer I would be to authenticity……..there’s been a lot lost over the past 2,000 years so it’s not easy….incredibly however, there are a few of us all over the world who have come to the same conclusion…….so we devised this “strange and new” religion. The holiest days on the “strange and new” calendar that we follow are: The seventh day Sabbath of the LORD—looking back to the creation, and forward to the creation of a new heaven and a new earth and celebrating all of the LORD’s goodness in between. Passover--the day of the crucifixion of our Jewish Savior, Y’shua. The Feast of Unleavened Bread--symbolizing the removal of sin afforded through the Jewish blood of Y’shua. The Day of the Elevation of the Firstfruits—The day Y’shua arose from the grave, looking forward to our resurrection.. Shavout or The Feast of Weeks—the day that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the first generation believers of this “new and strange” religion who were in Jerusalem for the Feast. The Day of Trumpets—the final wake up call to repent, looking forward to the last trumpet which will usher in Y’shua’s return. The Day of Atonement—looking forward to the cleansing of the earth by Y’shua and the total annihilation of Satan. The Feast of Tabernacles—looking forward to the day when the tabernacle of the LORD will be with men, and He personally will tabernacle with them. I know those are bizarre and unchristianlike celebrations but after many years of observing those well documented, scripturally substantiated holy days of Sundays, xmas, good friday and easter, I needed a break. Thank you for your concern for my lost condition……. Singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb (that strange and new religion)….. Bub |
