I dont take any of it as sarcastic! We are all on a journey and nobody has cornered the market on wisdom or knowledge...

This is all foreign and strange to us... Israel doesnt get it right and they were given it!

I don’t know where there are any out there that observe His calendar... it would mean not being able to have a ‘conventional’ job or go to a conventional school if still in school..it would be very difficult to live in both calendars...(but some could-it just wouldn’t be those connected to the world in large parts)

If I had the job I had before His calendar was revealed to me, I didn’t have enough vacation/pto days in a year to take off the days when His Sabbath hit a Gregorian Tuesday for four weeks in a row- and then either a Wednesday or Thursday the next month..and maybe Friday for four the next....
(I had quit my job before I knew all this)...but I may never have had this revealed to me without taking that faith step of quitting and following Him..

now I can’t see going back but those who get their eyes open who seem to have it all together, it would be a major faith step...

His timekeeping is counter to how the entire world functions...

And that it is why it made sense to me-and maybe it will to believers out there who do believe our enemy is that deceptive and subtle..

I mean who doesn’t learn the calendar as a child and live their entire life by it like we know 2+2=4?
Even the Amish who are as removed from the world as we can find here, still uses the world’s timekeeping..
Problem is, our Messiah lived His entire life out with His Heavenly Father’s calendar- and the big days on that calendar all point to Him..

I think His bride should and can know those...

As for my faith community, I hope it is those who believe in the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the finished work of His only begotten Son, our Messiah.I believe in the actual word(Torah/prophets, etc) became flesh and dwelt among us-literally..and I am more convinced every day...
Jews get circumcised on the 8th because Messiah did, etc...
Those dates and details are not important in christendom-(but I think they are)
He fulfills all of it.and taught us what and what not to do..

For example, He loosened the Sabbath while He walked with us and bound/tightened the laws on adultery and murder to include not just physical, but what was in our heart- He gave us more commands, not less..sermon on the mount is just one commandment after the other..

and He gave His church the same power.. so what they decide, if in His Father’s will, can be bound or loosened on earth as in heaven...

All that being said, I don’t think He changed the Sabbath..and the world has changed it-even Israel..

As for dietary, I don’t eat pork anymore but it has more to do with seeing what parts of the pig (in a puzzle form) our favorite meals came from at a state fair exhibit...

I don’t concern myself with what is unclean or clean but if I have a question, His word will be my guide...
I don’t have most of those ‘unclean’ animals on the menus of the restaurants/grocery I frequent anyway...

I don’t have the money for shell fish, lobster anymore so I don’t worry about it, although I used to love it... (But then along came Fukushima-now, I have a worldy excuse:).
As far I can tell, I am eating stuff He gave us to eat.. although some don’t at meat..that is up to them..
I just thank Him He provides me with food, shelter and clothing....and if He gives us the option to be choosy, that is a blessing...

Scripture says I can concern myself with fornication, food sacrificed to idols, food strangled, and the blood...

Part of quitting my job, was movng to another place- I started attending an orthodox presbyterian church on Sundays and those Sundays started to be the toughest and busiest day for me in my whole week...

and it seemed odd to me that the only day I had to hustle and bustle about, was the Sabbath...and I asked Him, sought the answer and knocked on the door-
After all, I had quit everything for Him, I thought I deserved an answer why the sabbath was so trying..I first reasoned that maybe Saturday was really the day..
But then His calendar popped out.. and the answer came back neither day is His Sabbath... they can stumble onto it, but are no more holy that moon day, tiwsday, etc.

And that was not twenty years ago... it all started in 2012 and I have had more questions that He has answered in time, sometmes using His own sky as His chalkboard..

But faith and obedience to Him has been the key... I observe what He has shown me, awaiting the next answer...
And knowing things like the day our Messiah was really born, when He was cicumcised’ dedicated to the temple, baptized, etc are results of being obedient to His teachings...

Everyone can ask, seek and knock, and if willing to accept the answers and obey, there is no telling what somebody may learn that will floor me like this all does.

And one need not become Jewish.... I have no desire to go into that counterfeit world either..

He has set me free. Just not how the world defines it...

His Truth is better than the fiction we have been taught..

May all His Bride seek His appointed times to know Him more fully..we don’t have to guess His birth.. We can know and scripture and His calendar tells us....

a Bride having to guess or ignore the big days of her Bridegroom’s life seems ‘unwise’ to me...

HalleluYah!
