From Bill Part 3 — The fall festivals (7th month) are yet to be fulfilled and this is mostly outlined in Revelation. So, we see an annual cycle representing redemption (Passover) in the first month; provision (Pentecost) in the 3rd month, and presence (Tabernacles) in the 7th month. Each of these were or are foreshadowing events which our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) has accomplished or still must accomplish. This is rehearsed every year with God’s annual festival cycle. This is God’s calendar and while we are not under the law for righteousness, it seems prudent to acknowledge God’s special days in some way as you are led. Have a Blessed Resurrection Sunday!

From Bill Part two—Pentecost (or the Feast of Weeks) begins 50 days after Passover and represents God’s provision. It is when the law was given at Sinai shortly after they left Egypt, and when the Holy Spirit was given to believers after Jesus’ resurrection. Finally, we see the 7th Biblical month starting with Trumpets announcing the return of the King, Atonement which will allow Israel to repent, and Tabernacles when God will rule and reign from Jerusalem for 1000 years.

From Bill Part 1–Today is the first full day of Passover. Jewish people celebrated the Passover meal last night at twilight. Thus begins the 7 day Feast of Unleavened Bread. Gods annual cycle began at sundown 25 March when the month of the Aviv, the first Biblical month, began. This month celebrates the Passover on the 14th day (yesterday), the Feast of Unleavened Bread which lasts 7 days starting with Passover and the Feast of First Fruits, which is in the middle of that week. Jesus fulfills the Passover and Unleavened Bread as Gods perfect and sinless lamb sacrificed for us. First Fruits was fulfilled by our Lord when He went to heaven after resurrecting and anointed the Most Holy place with His blood. –Love Mel

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 1 Peter 1:7 So that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise & glory & honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. — Faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Q? Faith in God? Faith is the substance of what is hoped for, & it is the evidence of that which is not yet seen or received. The closer we get to God the bigger our faith! So if there is a need for the unseen, the bigger, the more faith that is needed, then move closer to God! For you see He gives us faith when we seek Him! The bottom line is that true faith is our assurance in the true belief in our God! Be Blessed! Love Mel

Deut 32:6 Be strong & courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of “whatever”, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Isaiah 46:4 Even to your old age I am he, & to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, & I will bear; I will carry & will save. John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world! — We sever an overcoming God who is willing to carry us in the troubled times! Praise His name! Love Mel
