Happy "Let There Be Light" Day

Rosh Hashana is coming up. "Head of the year" But what makes it the head, the "first" day of the year. Especially perplexing since in Jewish tradition, it is celebrated on the 6th day of creation, the day Adam was formed, gained knowledge of himself and his Creator-- and "coronated" Him as his King. This was Rosh Hashana.

...It follows then, that now, today, 5 days prior to Rosh Hashana, would be the first day of creation. Therefore:

Happy Let There Be Light day!


TOPICS: History; Judaism; Religion & Culture; Theology
KEYWORDS: light; roshhashana; torah
I am told that the Christian holidays were based on the Jewish tradition of the calendar and our holidays... Easter coincidental with Passover, etc. (until Nicea.) So who has some anecdote or comment about their belief of when (in the course of the year) the world started-- when it all began...

Thanks for the reminder.

"Fiat Lux"

My motto, and that of my university.

Was just thinking of these Holy Days, a little while ago.

Daily Thought

First Day

More than Rosh Hashanah is about the One Above, it is about us below. He created the world. But we drive it to its destiny. That is why it is called “the beginning of Your works”—even though it is not the anniversary of the creation of the universe, but of the human being. It is the true beginning, as all of time begins on this day. Because on this day, more than any other, we are empowered to switch tracks, to transform our destiny and thereby the destiny of all of creation. Through us, the bitter darkness that shrouded truth and goodness can become a flaming torch of light. All is defined by destiny. Even the past is redefined by the arrow of its future. The very existence of that time that held that past is re-created once it achieves its hidden destiny. A destiny that only you can reveal. That is all that matters: Now, the first day of all of time, future and past. Maamar Zeh Hayom 5742.

So this really is the first day of the rest of your life.

Based on the calendar He taught Israel (and the template is in Ezekiel 46), today is His 3rd Day, the 25th Day of His 6th month..

His 3rd Day- a work day..
The day commemorating Him gathering up the waters and letting the dry land appear. A day He called the land Earth and the water, Seas. A day that began the vegetation , plants yielding seed and trees bearing fruit.

But lots of the world calls it Woden’s Day..

What a blessing it is to give Him thanks and the glory for His Creative and Redemptive Work that is detailed on His Calendar.
Or one can give the moon,gods tiw,woden,Thor, goddess frigg, Saturn,the sun the honor..

Kind of like taking what the angel cries in Revelation to heart when the angel calls us to worship Him who made Heaven and earth , the sea and fountains of water(Revelation 14:7

I only know this because I have been observing His plain calendar from Scripture and His Sky instead of the Roman counterfeit calendar named after a Pope for the last three years..

And what is truly amazing is to see Judaism use the same counterfeit calendar that the world uses- even willing to move Feasts and dates when they conflict with their ‘traditions’..

To see how they can miss His Appointed times that He taught them is an amazing blessinh.(which Judaism does)
What is really amazing is how those dates all fit into the Word Made Flesh life events with study.

That is why a verse like Revelation 12:1 can mean nothing to Judaism but can unlock a key for a believer in the King of Kings , to a wealth of knowledge and understanding that can mean the difference between worshipping in spirit and truth or worshipping in spirit and error.

And being sealed or marked, spiritually, this very day...

What an amazing Calendar He gives us. One that points to His Creative AND Redemptive Work.
It is in Scripture (template is plainly found in Ezekiel) and Judaism doesn’t follow it..

But the Bride can..if she has eyes to see and ears to hear.. Then maybe the Bride can teach the world just how counterfeit the world is..
In light of His unchanging Truth..

My journey began in Ezekiel 46 and a simple question most wouldn’t think to ask..
What a blessing to ask,seek and knock!

I pray more do. The Word really became flesh. And the Bride should know it all. More so than those blinded to the Messiah of Israel
..

If more called today His 3rd day instead of Woden’s day, babylon and the world system would have a hard time standing .

Sounds like an interesting journey.

So I assume you son’t celebrate Easter with colored eggs and rabbit-shaped chocolate? Was Easter originally slaved to the date the Jews (and those rabbis....) declared Passover (the 15th of Nissan, Biblically mandated to fall out in the spring,) and then changed to April (whatever it is) by Nicea? And if that is a true assumption... and you reject it, what day was the resurrection on your calendar?

And... $64K question— are you JW? (I just had a discussion with a vendor of mine who is, and who claims the world is 6 thousand umpteen years old. [5776 come Sunday night in the Jewish reconing.])

It is quite a journey.

Just learned this year from Him why our Savior used 30/60/100 in His parable -religion, sadly, can’t teach it because they don’t tell time like He does..

As for easter, I used to. But then I stated relying only on Scripture.and what I saw was places like Leviticus told the story and it happens on specific days for creative and Redemptive reasons.. Passover isn’t just any day! It represents something that doesn’t get understood by finding it printed on a Roman calendar...

Feast of Passover is the 14th Day, according to scripture (I don’t agree with Judaism or Rome that His Days begin at night- go figure)

It is why Jesus laid His life down on this day. The Lamb- t wasn’t ‘evening’ yet but the Father solved that by bring the darkness that day, according to our New Testament recordings

The 14th Day of every one of His calendar months,is always the ‘6th’ Work Day.

It is finished.

The Son finished His Work on the last Work Day of the 2nd ‘prophetic’ and literal week..the 14th Day is the preparation Day for the next day, the Sabbath rest.

Christianity inheritantly understands this with ‘ Good Friday’ every year- but Passover can ‘land’ on any day, and whatever ‘day’ that it lands on, on His Calendar, will be the 6th Work Day (even in 2014 when it landed on a Monday or in 2015 when it Should Have landed on a Saturday-judaism moved it back so as to not conflict with their Pope appointed Sabbath) that isn’t understood by religion but the Bride can understand that..

Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the 15th Day.
The 15th day of His months is always the 7th Day weekly Sabbath- it is a High Sabbath in His 1st and 7th month. (Which was Tuesday in 2014 and should have been a Sunday in 2015 had Judaism not moved it back so as to not conflict with their Pope appointed Sabbath)
The Lamb, even in death, obeyed the Sabbath Commandment..

The 16th Day of His months is always the 1st Work Day of His 3rd week. It is the Day after the weekly (and annual sabbaths in His 1st and 7th months)
It is the Feast of First Fruits in the 1st month.
The day He rose from the grave to be First Fruits..(that was a Wednesday in 2014 and should have been a Monday in 2015 had Judaism not moved it back so as to not conflict with their Pope appointed Sabbath)

There is a reason Paul taught Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits..
And warned about other jesus and other gospels.

Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday are a template of truth but not Truth. They are clever counterfeits that aren’t in Scripture (like Paul taught His gospel, according to scripture).

But good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday can be found in Rome’s catechism and their calendar.
They can’t have one without the other. Get rid of one by only using scripture, and it(their version) starts falling apart, scripturally..

And why something out of the 4th Kingdom in Daniel 7 would think to change times and laws isn’t some future thing.

Amazing how much a polluted counterfeit calendar can hide His Creative and Redemptive Work that He set up ..
Appointed Times that didn’t just point back to Moses and Israel but also to the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world..

I am not a JW.. They stopped coming to the door when I told them what He had been teaching me.. I hope they come back so I can show them the 30/60/100 in the parable of the Sower!

They start with the same false premise- that Rome has been entrusted with The Father’s calendar.they have only been in the business of counterfeiting His Calendar..

I don’t worry about what ‘year’it is,but I do have a feeling we are in His 6th year ( 6th out of 7) unlike lots of people who say the 7th year is ending..(famous rabbi)
But that is because of something I experienced, not anything I found within Scripture.
But the days, I am sure, because I asked and He showed me in light of His Son. It is only when I saw Revelation 12 represented in His Sky on September 26 2014, did I see how Judaism may claim truth but it is no less deceived..
And that day represented a ‘New Moon Day’- a specific one in 2014 (the end of the real Rosh Hashanah which is the 1st day of His 7th month-jews were off by a day) and a different day this year (The 1st day of His 8th month- they will ignore it) and a different one 2000 years ago at His birth(the 1st Day of His 6th month- the birthday of the Word Made flesh)

Read Ezekiel 46, just the first verse and see if anything tugs at you. You may start a journey that shows you just how much we leaned as little children is just inherited lies..

When one starts with a false premise, one will never reach Truth.
And the continuous 7 day week since Creation can be proven to be false by scripture.

And when seen in light of the Son, one can see just how each of His major life events (birth,circumcision, presentation in the temple, baptism, death,burial,resurrection and giving of the Holy Spirit) landed on/occurred on appointed Days He taught Israel- which are New Moon Days, Sabbaths and Feasts..

Not how Judaism observes them today. They think Saturday is Holy..
On our Fathers calendar ‘last month’ the Muslims assembled and prayed on His 7th Day Sabbath (it ‘landed on Fridays)nd ‘this month’ it is the Christians who have been assembling on His 7th Day Sabbath-..(it landed on Sunday)

Skipped right over Saturday. And the SDA and messianic Judaism and Hebrew roots, etc, would have us believe Saturday is His Sabbath.(they too accept the false premise that Rome is in charge of telling time).

Satan deceives the whole world.. Amazing when one comes out of the world and stops conforming to it, one can have their mind transformed..
He is willing to show us all. He isn’t a respecter of persons. I am proof positive of that..
