THE SEVEN FESTIVAL SABBATHS

MESSIANIC SHADOWS

YAHUAHS REDEMPTION PLAN FOR HIS WIFE, YISRAEL Moedim for 5772AM / 2012AD/CE - Shadows of things to come
Moedim: This Hebrew word means appointed times. Many of them are festivals or feasts, and commemorate or shadow how Mashiach Yahusha redeems His wife, Israel. THE SHADOWS PICTURE REDEMPTION. They are given at Lev. 23, and again at Dt. 16.
MANY BEGIN THE MOON AT THE SIGHTING OF THE CRESCENT, HOWEVER THIS IS AN ISLAMIC PRACTICE. THE TRUE RENEWED MOON IS DARK AND CANNOT BE SEEN IN THE BRILLIANCE OF THE SUN. THE FIRST DAY BUILDS FROM THE ZERO-POINT, WHEN THE MOON IS CENTERED BETWEEN THE EARTH & SUN. IF YOU DONT BEGIN AT ZERO, THE MOON WILL BE WANING ON YOUR COUNT TO THE FEASTS, WHICH OCCUR ON THE 15TH DAY OF THE 1ST AND 7TH MOONS.

ENGRAFT INTO YISRAEL BY FOLLOWING THE WAY OF THE REDEEMER, YAHUSHA HAMASHIACH.
THE HEBREW CALENDAR SHADOWS HIS REDEMPTION PLAN COME . . . REV. 22:17

(REST DAY)

Sunset May 26 to sunset May 27, 2012 Calculated from the weekly Sabbath during Matsah, counting 7 Sabbaths to the morrow after the 7th Sabbath, being the 50th day.
THE YAHUDIM ALWAYS CALCULATE FROM ABIB 16 IN THEIR COUNT TO SHABUOTH, YET WE KNOW YAHUSHA WAS IN THE TOMB ON ABIB 16, AND WAS NOT YET RESURRECTED AS FIRST-FRUITS (WAVE SHEAF). THIS YEAR IT WORKS OUT.

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a festival, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days which are a shadow of things to come for the body of Mashiach." Col 2:16-17

Shabuoth commemorates the giving of Torah at Sinai, the wedding anniversary of Yahuah and Israel. Torah means instructions. The Covenant is a marriage. TRADITIONALLY CALLED
PENTECOST, GREEK FOR COUNT 50. FULFILLED AS RECORDED AT ACTS 2, WHEN TORAH WAS WRITTEN ON HEARTS OF NATSARIM, RENEWING THE COVENANT, RESTORING ISRAEL TO YAHUAH THROUGH INDWELLING OF YAHUSHAS SPIRIT. IT IS NOT A BIRTHDAY, IT IS A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

15th day of 1st moon (full moon) Sunset Apr 6 through sunset Apr 7 For 7 days, all Israel is to abstain from leavened bread. This applies to all believers.
The Wave-sheaf (omer, bundle) offering is traditionally thought of as being Abib 16, however Yahusha IS the omer, and ascended to perform this on the morrow after the weekly Sabbath. The count to Shabuoth (7 x 7 complete weeks) is determined by getting this correct. This offering, called the first-fruits, was fulfilled by Yahusha when He resurrected. During the festival of Matsah (Unleavened Bread), the High Priest would wave the first-fruits of the barley harvest on the morrow after the Sabbath. Yahusha became the wave-sheaf offering because the resurrection was the object, and the wave sheaf was the shadow.
