Jesus’ name in Hebrew is Yeshua, which means salvation. Yeshua HaMashiach, translates as Jesus the Messiah. Joshua is the English spelling of Yeshua, but it’s less confusing to use Yeshua when speaking of our Messiah.
Until the 3rd century, believers met in synagogues and would learn about the teachings of Moses on a weekly basis.They also would have celebrated the God appointed Moadim (Feast Days). Emperor Constantine was the first of many that began to separate believers from the Jewish culture and blend pagan beliefs into their worship.
As a believer in Christ, I do not have to observe the Feast Days and keep Biblically (not halachic) kosher - but I GET TO!
The Messiah of Israel was born on a New Moon Day, the first day of our Heavenly Father’s 6th month( Revelation 12:1-2-when the sun clothed her and the moon was under her feet- the sign in the sky of the constellation Virgo on a new moon day..
He was circumcised on the eight day of the first month, according to Torah.
According to Ezekiel 46:1, that calendar template means the 8th of the month is the seventh day Sabbath of the first week of His months. That template is laid out through Scripture(including the battle of Jericho)
New moon -day 1
Six work days - days 2-7
sabbath 8th day
He was dedicated in the temple 40 days after his mother’s purification, per Torah
That means He was dedicated on the 10th day of the 7th month
The day of Atonement or Yom Kippur
He was baptized on a New Moon day, His 30th birthday (1st day of His 6th month)- and then scripture tells us he immediately fasted for 40 days/nights ( just like his mother’s purification)
He was killed on the 14th day of the 1st month- Passover
He rested on the 15th in the tomb on the High Sabbath of unleavened bread- a weekly and annual Sabbath according to Ezekiel’s template
He was raised on the 16th day- the feast of first fruits..
Jews celebrated three different passovers- depending on who they follow, some had a march passover, some an April passover and some a may passover..
None of those were the greco roman latin template of good Friday, Saturday and Sunday..
Only one of those is correct... they can’t all be right...
If one knows His calendar and how His Son fulfilled His appointed times, one will know genuine from counterfeit..
If Jesus can fit all those new moons, Sabbaths and feasts, Christendom doesn’t teach them..
A counterfeit bill will have all the right words.. the shadings and sizings and markings may be different.. try to redeem a counterfeit bill anywhere the genuine’s are studied and you will get caught..
The Bride need not be so ignorant of the Bridegroom, making up days that counterfeit the genuine,.
The genuine is a far better story!
HalleluYah!
