The Feasts Of God

These are the festivals that God has given His people.

Check back for updates.

Leviticus 23:2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the YHWH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah)

The Bible doesn’t name this feast but tells us it is a time for blowing trumpets. That’s why it is called Yom (Day) of Trumpets. Most current Jewish people celebrate it as the New Year (Rosh Hashanah).

“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation.

You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the Lord."

Leviticus 23:24-25 ESV

Day of Atonement - Month 7, Day 10

It is to be a sabbath of complete rest to you, and you shall humble your souls; on the ninth of the month at evening, from evening until evening you shall keep your sabbath.”
Lev. 23:32

Tabernacles - Month 7, Day 15

‘On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day. Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. You shall live in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in booths, so that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’” - Lev. 23:39-43

Shemni Atzeret - Month 7, Day 22

For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work.
— Leviticus 23:36

The Qumran Essene Calendar.

I have been looking at the Essene Calendar lately. I have been following the tradition of the main stream Jewish calendar. It's simple to read off a printed Calendar. Lately, I have been looking at Enochian timelines. This has helped me understand prophecy a little more. It is a little off from the Pharisaic calendar, but easy once you write it down in the journal with Caesarian calendar days.

My Art

Mostly 'Toons. Let me know your favorite. Click on links to order products.

It started when I drew a rabbit in Miss Anthony's fist grade class. For many decades, I've been doodling in my schoolbooks... And I'm still a student.

Truth Wins!
