DAYS OF FAVOR

The Days of Elul begin sundown on August 7, 2021, which marks the beginning of a 40-day Season of Repentance (teshuvah). This is a time to return home. This is a time to get one’s spiritual house in order by seeking His face and humbling oneself in the sight of the Lord with a broken and contrite heart (II Chronicles 7:14; James 4:6,10; Psalms 34:17-19).

The Hebrews say that this 40-day Season of Teshuvah has its roots in the second time that Moses went up Mount Sinai to receive the second set of the ketubah (marriage contract), which is also know as the Ten Commandments. The reason that this second chance is so important is that God reconsidered wiping out His entire nation (except Moses) after they had worshipped the infamous idol of the Golden Calf. Please refer to https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2016/12/17/choose-this-day-the-golden-calf-or-his-marriage-contract/ and http://wp.me/p158HG-kH.

Significantly, God relented due to Moses pleading for grace, grace, grace for His people. Once Moses attained God’s favor, he ascended God’s Mountain on Rosh Chodesh Elul – the beginning of the Hebrew month of Elul – and he descended forty days later on tenth day of Tishri, which concludes on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). Due to the incredible forgiveness God granted to His set-apart nation for the grievous sin of the Golden Calf, the Hebrews sometimes call the Season of Repentance – Yemei Ratzon (יְמֵי רָצוֹן) – “Days of Favor.”

The whole wide world is need of this kind of forgiveness and favor again in our day. Not only do the vast majority of God’s people literally repeat the worship of the Golden Calf annually; but few humble themselves, pray and seek His face with the purpose of turning from their wicked ways.

I urge everyone to not let this divine opportunity pass you by. Perhaps, this Season of Repentance could be your last chance in the land of the living to restore your broken relationship with God and your fellow man.

Remember that each and every one of our days are in the hands of the Lord, and He protects those He considers righteous. Just do not make the mistake of assuming you are righteous. That is what deluded people do. The problem is that we don’t know if we are deluded or deceived until we have had our light bulb moment, which seems to happen once we have chosen to humble ourselves, or after some difficult life circumstances have humbled us. Refer to https://sapphirethroneministries.wordpress.com/2019/09/08/time-of-testing-exposure/.

The essential ingredient for the solution to deception is humility, which means destroying your own wall of self-protection. You can choose to simply humble yourself by truly asking the Lord if He considers you righteous and wait for His answer. Or, you can seek the Lord, like King David did, and ask God to search your heart to see if there be any wicked way in me: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting: (Psalms 134:23-24 NKJV).

I know way too many people that believe that they are righteous when, in fact, they are not… and they are even leading others astray. Self-deception need arrogance (pride) to be kept in place; therefore, the solution is always choosing to be humble and teachable before God and man with a repentant heart.

Today is day that life and death as well as blessings and curses are set before us. Let us each choose this day whom we will serve – the Most High God or ourselves (Deuteronomy 30:14-20).

“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice: ‘Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, as in the day of trial in the wilderness, when your fathers tested Me; They tried Me, though they saw My work. For forty years I was grieved with that generation,’ And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.’ So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’” (Psalms 95:6-11 NKJV).

Let us enter our Promise Land, which is our Sabbath Rest who is our Maker. Never forget that He is our Sabbath rest, and we are His. His favor is for life (Psalms 30:5)!

Give em heaven!!!

SCARLET SINS AS WHITE AS SNOW

Today marks The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) on the Biblical Calendar. In Hebrew, Yom Kippur means the day of covering, cancelling, pardon, and reconciling.

“For it is on this day that atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you; and you shall be clean from all your sins before the Lord. It is to be a sabbath of solemn rest for you, that you may humble your souls: it is a permanent statute” (Leviticus 16:30-31 _NAS).

In Leviticus Chapter 23, this is one of the seven feasts that God calls “My feasts” where the Lord is calls all His people to meet with Him at a particular time in a specific place in order to become betrothed – engaged to be married (Refer to Leviticus 23:2,27-32). The spring feasts speak of the Messiah’s first coming while the fall feasts speak of His second coming. The two winter feasts in the Word of God portray God’s people’s journey to becoming one with their Beloved as His Bride. Please refer to https://sapphirethroneministries.wordpress.com/2017/03/09/feast-of-esther-is-a-bridal-feast/.

The Day of Atonement is a Fall Feast; therefore, it is one of the Biblical Bridal Feasts that specifically portray His second coming. However, we need to first understand how Messiah Yeshua fulfilled the Day of Atonement during His first coming before we can flow into the understanding of His second coming.

There are many prophetic pictures in the Day of Atonement. We are going to focus on the special ceremony, which purged defilement from God’s House and His people. The heart of this ceremony in the Old Testament was when the High Priest (Kohen HaGadol) brought a bull and two goats as a special Yom Kippur offering. First, the bull was sacrificed to purge God’s House from any uncanny vibrations, which were caused by the misdeeds of the High Priest himself and his household (Lev. 16:6). Second, one of the goats was chosen by lot to be sacrificed to purge God’s House from any defilement stimulated by the misdeeds of the entire nation (Lev. 16:8-9). Then, the second goat marked for Azazel is sent away to wander in the wilderness (Lev. 16:10).

Before the goat for Azazel is sent out into the wilderness, the High Priest laid both of his hands upon the goat’s head and confessed all the iniquities and transgression of the Israelites; thus, putting all the misdeeds on the goat (Lev. 16:21). Scripture tells us the “the goat shall carry on it all their iniquities to an inaccessible region” (Leviticus 16:22). Yeshua did this when He died on the Cross as a sin offering during His first coming when Father God laid the sins of the world upon Him (1 John 4:10).

Azazel was commonly seen as a type of satan (Ha satan – of the Satanic Kingdom). During Yom Kippur, Azazel personifies the idea that the people’s sins and their evil consequences were to be sent back to the spirit of desolation and ruin, the source of all impurity. Simply put, Azazel personified wickedness in contrast with the righteous government of YHVH. 

The Book of Enoch confirms this by connecting Azazel to the fall of the angels to Mount Hermon. Azazel is portrayed in the Book of Enoch as the leader of the rebellious giants in the time preceding The Flood. We are told that Azazel taught men the art of warfare – making of swords, knives, shields, and coats of mail – while he taught women the art of deception (seduction) through adorning their bodies, dyeing their hair and painting their faces. Azazel is also credited for teaching the people the secrets of witchcraft, which led them into wickedness and impurity. This was until the Lord commanded the Archangel Raphael to bind him hand and foot to chain him to the rough and jagged rocks of Ha Beth Hadudo where Azazel was to abide until the great Day of Judgment when he will be cast into the fire to be consumed forever (1 Enoch 8:1; 9:6; 10:4-6). The picture of Azazel being sent into the wilderness is understood to be a picture of satan being cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 19:20).

Let us take a closer look at the purging ceremony related to the two goats. The first lot said, “La Adonai” (To the Lord). The second lot said, “La Azazel” (To the scapegoat). The High Priest took the two golden lots – one marked La Adonai and the other Le Azazel – and placed one upon the head of each goat, which sealed its fate. It was considered a good sign if the lot marked La Adonai was drawn by the priest’s right hand; but for 40 years prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD (C.E.), the lot La Adonai was drawn by the priest’s left hand.

Not only was the lot La Adonai was drawn in the priest’s left hand, but there was another significant sign. In the ceremony of the two goats, both goats were considered to be one offering. A crimson sash was tied around the horns of the goat marked Azazel. An interesting tradition arose that is mentioned in the Mishnah. A portion of the crimson sash was attached to the Door of the Temple before the goat was sent into the wilderness. The sash would turn from red to white as the goat met its end. This signaled to the people that God had accepted their sacrifices and their sins were forgiven. “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool” (Isaiah 1:18 _NASB). For 40 years before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, the sash stopped turning white. This, of course, is when the Temple Shift happened when Yeshua was slain on the tree. For more information about the Temple Shift => http://wp.me/p158HG-vV.  

In short, God gave the casting of lots for the two goats ceremony during Yom Kippur to teach us how He will judge the nations of the world prior to the Messianic Age, known as the Millennium, which is His second coming. The nations of the world will be judged as sheep (Adonai) nations or goat (Azazel) nations. The sheep nations will enter the Messianic Kingdom (i.e., the Millennium) as taught in Matthew 25:31-46.

G’mar Hatima Tova May you be sealed in the Book of Life!

Give em heaven!!!

REPENTANCE & DEEPER DIMENSIONS OF AT-ONE-MENT

Last night the 40-day Season of Repentance began on God’s Biblical Calendar. These forty days serve to lead God’s people into a deeper reality of at-one-ment with the Most High God since the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is the culmination of the 40 days.

The Lord’s Season of Repentance begins on the first of Elul. The Hebrew name for the month “Elul” is an acronym for “I am my beloved and He is mine”– אני לדודי ודודי לי – which emphasizes the deeper dimensions of oneness (at-one-ment).

All mankind should rejoice over the power of repentance, especially bridal lovers of God. Like fine gold, when we are refined in His purification fires, eventually, there will be no impurities. Through God’s mercy and a righteous repenter pressing into being one with the One, the Messiah’s pure and spotless Bride is transformed and redeemed.

Ascension in Christ can be a significant key component of teshuvah (repentance). Kings and priests made after the Order of Melchizedek are sons of the Most High God who sacrificially die to their own selves and ascend upon the Blood of the Lamb through the eternity set in their hearts. Once these kings and priests are ascended and operating as the New Living Creature. as displayed in Ezekiel Chapter 1, they take on a feminine nature as bridal lovers. These ones seeking to be one with the One are consummating their love through doing a divine dance until they resonate at the same frequency as their Beloved Messiah.

Won’t you divinely dance with our Beloved to become oooonnnneeeee?!

Give em heaven!!!
