住棚节

住棚节是在2014;10月8日-16日，在晚上7点开始. 我准备听从阿爸YAHUWAH (耶和华) 的吩咐在利未记23：34-44留在帐篷里. 记得他的恩典和怜悯给我的祖先亚伯拉罕，和以撒和雅各我约见我的弥赛亚YAHUSHUA当他返回到地球与耶路撒冷新的王国！ 弟兄姐妹们，你是否准备为自己所排练的所有命令的节日在利未记23这个伟大的事件吗？你知道耶稣弥赛亚与我们预约？ 让我们来考虑一些在圣经旧约和新约： 利未记23:41说，这是一个节日，我们必须保持“永远” 利未记23:41 每年七月间，要向耶和华守这节七日。这为你们世世代代永远的定例。 什么是“永远”在希伯来文的定义？ 永恒, 没有尽头 利未记23:42说，所有谁是以色列人，亚伯拉罕，以撒和雅各的孩子，是永远庆祝这一节日。 利未记23:42 你们要住在棚里七日；凡以色列家的人都要住在棚里， 在新约中，谁是以色列人？谁是亚伯拉罕的子孙？ 罗马书11:17 若有几根枝子被折下来，你这野橄榄得接在其中，一同得著橄榄根的肥汁， 约翰福音15:1 「我是真葡萄树，我父是栽培的人。 2 凡属我不结果子的枝子，他就剪去；凡结果子的，他就修理乾净，使枝子结果子更多。 罗马书11:24 你是从那天生的野橄榄上砍下来的，尚且逆著性得接在好橄榄上，何况这本树的枝子，要接在本树上呢！ 以弗所书2:11 所以你们应当记念：你们从前按肉体是外邦人，是称为没受割礼的；这名原是那些凭人手在肉身上称为受割礼之人所起的。 从这些新约经文，这是很清楚，嫁接在亚伯拉罕的子孙都在弥赛亚的信徒为他们的救主。 一旦我们接受耶稣，我们嫁接到亚伯拉罕，以撒，雅各这被称为以色列的家人。 所以，作为以色列人，我们被命令在利未记23:41-42约束！ 基督教会教导我们，所有这些诫命已经被废除. 如果是这样的话，为什么我们在启示录21:3章的书中发现, 耶稣会“帐幕”我们在他的新王国？ 启示录21:2 我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷由神那里从天而降，预备好了，就如新妇妆饰整齐，等候丈夫。 3 我听见有大声音从宝座出来说：「看哪，神的帐幕在人间。他要与人同住，他们要作他的子民。神要亲自与他们同在，作他们的神。 4 神要擦去他们一切的眼泪；不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭号、疼痛，因为以前的事都过去了。」 因此，写得很清楚，耶稣的任命与我们他的第二个到来是我们在等待的住棚节在旷野，没有在城市混凝土建筑物。 这就是为什么我们呼吁遵守住棚节的永恒。圣经甚至告诉我们，当新的耶路撒冷的王国建立在地球上，住棚节将继续观察！ 撒迦利亚书 14:16 所有来攻击耶路撒冷列国中剩下的人，必年年上来敬拜大君王万军之耶和华，并守住棚节。 17 地上万族中，凡不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王万军之耶和华的，必无雨降在他们的地上。 现代的教会是在“建设”的比赛。每个牧师渴望建立一个庞大的教堂建筑在城市。让我们来看看圣经，看看谁开始了这幢楼的竞争？ 创世纪4:17 该隐与妻子同房，他妻子就怀孕，生了以诺。该隐建造了一座城，就按著他儿子的名将那城叫做以诺。 创世纪10:8 古实又生宁录，他为世上英雄之首。 9 他在耶和华面前是个英勇的猎户，所以俗语说：「像宁录在耶和华面前是个英勇的猎户。」 10 他国的起头是巴别、以力、亚甲、甲尼，都在示拿地。 11 他从那地出来往亚述去，建造尼尼微、利河伯、迦拉， 12 和尼尼微、迦拉中间的利鲜，这就是那大城。 现在很清楚，“建设”大城市的精神，来自于由阿巴YAHUWAH拒绝两个人 - 该隐和尼姆罗德。 这显然是矛盾的，以什么样的父亲上帝指示亚伯拉罕，以撒，雅各，我们发现我们的先祖的生活模式是游牧的帐篷或住棚（创世记12章）。 所以，在这个未来的住棚节的庆祝活动，我鼓励我亲爱的弟兄姐妹们在耶稣弥赛亚，认真和虔诚地学习经文从 撒迦利亚书14：16-18并要求阿巴YAHUWAH透露给你全部的真相如果你要返回到遵守他的诫命上的各种安息日和节日. 有住棚节的祝福盛宴！愿你和你的家人与SHALOM祝福！ ------------------------------------------------------ SHALOM! Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) is this evening (8th Oct) sundown to 16th Oct. sundown. I am preparing to obey the commandment of Abba YAHUWAH (Father Jehovah) in Leviticus 23:34-44 to stay in a tent to remember HIS grace and mercy for our spiritual forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and our appointment to meet my Messiah YAHUshua (Jesus Christ) when He returns to earth with the new Kingdom of Yerushalayim (New Jerusalem) in the new millennium to rule as King of Kings for a 1000 years. Brothers and sisters, are you preparing yourselves for this great event by rehearsing all the commanded festivals in Leviticus 23? Or do you even know about YAHUshua’s appointment with us? Let’s consider some of the scriptures in the old (First Testament) and new testaments (Second Testament): Leviticus 23:41 says it is a festival that we must keep “FOREVER” Lev 23:41 And you shall keep it a feast unto the seven days in the year. It shall be a statute (LAW of GOD) for ever in your generations: you shall celebrateH2287 it in the seventhH7637 month. What is the Hebrew word definition of “Forever”? H5769 עלם עולם ‛ôlâm ‛ôlâm o-lawm', o-lawm' From H5956; properly concealed, that is, the vanishing point; generally time out of mind (past or future), that is, (practically) eternity; frequentative adverbially (especially with prepositional prefix) always: - always (-s), ancient (time), any more, continuance, eternal, (for, [n-]) ever (-lasting, -more, of old), lasting, long (time), (of) old (time), perpetual, at any time, (beginning of the) world (+ without end). Leviticus 23:42 says all who are Israelites (means people in faith or people of God), children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, are to celebrate this festival forever. Lev 23:42 ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’ĕlites dwell in booths, In the New Testament, who are the Israelites? Who are the children of Abraham? Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them (so after in grafting you become same as the tree of Israel), and came to share the root and fatness of the olive tree, Joh 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. 2 “Every branch in Me that bears no fruit He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit He prunes, so that it bears more fruit. Rom 11:24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? Eph 2:11 Therefore remember that you, once gentiles in the flesh, who are called ‘the uncircumcision’ by what is called ‘the circumcision’ made in the flesh by hands, 1 1 Cor. 12:2. From these New Testament verses, it is very clear that the grafted in children of Abraham are those who believes in Jesus (YAHUshua Messiah) as their Saviour. Once we accept Jesus, we are grafted into the family of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob which is known as Israel. Therefore, as Israelites, we are bound by the commandment in Leviticus 23:41-42! Amen! Please understand in scripture Israelite is not a race, it is people who have faith in Christ and it is only through Christ that pagan can come into the covenant of Abraham and receive the blessings of Abraham. Christian churches teach us that all these commandments have been done away with. If this is the case, why do we find in book of Revelation 21:3 that Jesus will “tabernacle” (booth or tent) with us in His new Kingdom? Rev 21:2-4 And I, Yoḥanan (John), saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), coming down out of the heaven from Elohim (God), prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the heaven, saying, “See, the Booth of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. 4 “And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying. And there shall be no more pain, for the former matters have passed away.” (This is the prophecy yet to come.) So, it is clearly written that Jesus’ appointment with us on His 2nd coming is for us to be waiting in Tabernacles in the wilderness, not in concrete buildings in cities. That is why we are called to observe the Feast of Tabernacles for eternity. Scriptures even tell us that when the new Kingdom of Jerusalem is established on earth, Feast of Tabernacles will continue to be observed! Zec 14:16 And it shall be, that all who are left from all the gentiles which came up against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, and to observe the Festival of Booths. 17 And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim to bow himself to the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts, on them there is to be no rain. (We need rain or else there will be famine. Many people today lives in scarcity, the work very hard to save for the future and money just doesn't seem last long enough? This is what the bible say - there is no rain. I bet you to be obedient to this commandment of God, you will find that your rain comes and you will have more than enough. Money will not be a burden to you.) Modern churches are in a “building” race. Every pastor aspires to build a huge building in big cities. Let’s check the bible to see who started this building competition? Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. Gen 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. It is clear now that the spirit of “building” big cities came from 2 of the biblical characters despised by Father God – Cain and Nimrod. It is clearly contradictory to what Father God instructed Abraham, Isaac and Jacob where we find the living patterns of our patriarchs were nomadic in tents or tabernacles (Genesis 12). So, on this coming celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, I encourage everyone of my beloved brothers and sisters who believes in Jesus (YAHUSHUA), to seriously and prayerfully study the verses from Zechariah 14:16-18 and ask Father God to reveal to you the whole truth if you should return to observing HIS commandments on the various Sabbaths and Feast days. The first day of Feast of Tabernacle this year falls on 8th Oct to 16th Oct starting from sun down to sun down (total 8 days.) The first say and the eighth day is called High Shabbat. So this week and next week we have one two Shabbat. Meaning one High Shabbat and a regular Shabbat for the week. Do no work or business on that day. A day of rest in the LORD. This is one of the seven feasts of the Lord as stated in the bible that we should follow and not the feasts man made such as Easter and Christmas. Both these celebrations is not from the bible and it origination is idol worship. Have a blessed Feast of Tabernacles! May you and your family be blessed with SHALOM! Amein!
