Yahweh commanded these festivals to be kept as holy set apart days, all
the males of Ysrael were commanded to attend the annual festivals. “Three
times in the year all thy males shall appear before Adonai Yahweh.”
Ex.
23:17
The people were commanded to give monetary offerings in order to keep the
festivals. “Three
times in a year shall all thy males appear before Yahweh thy Elohim in
the place which He shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in
the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not
appear before Yahweh empty: 17Every man shall
give as he is able, according to the blessing of Yahweh thy Elohim
which He hath given thee.” Dt. 16:16,17
Yahweh promised to bless the children of Ysrael and thus they were to
rejoice during the festival of Sukkot. Seven
days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Yahweh thy Elohim in the place
which Yahweh shall choose: because Yahweh thy Elohim shall bless thee in
all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou
shalt surely rejoice. Dt.
16:15

Awake, Awake put on thy strength…
In Isa.
52:1,2 we read, “Awake, awake; put
on thy strength, O
Zion
; put on thy beautiful garments, O Yarushalem, the holy city:…2Shake
thyself from the dust; arise, and
sit down, O Yarushalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O
captive daughter of
Zion
.”
Zion
is a symbolic term that refers to hwhy’s
people,(Isa. 51:16). So
is telling His people that they are spiritually asleep and it is
time to wake up and get dressed. What
are the beautiful garments that hwhy
wants us to put on? Ps. 132:9;
Isa. 61:10 and Rev. 19:7,8 show that it is righteousness that we
are to be spiritually clothed with.
told the people in Isaiah’s(Yeshayah’s) day that their lives were in
the dust of the world and that they must awake out of their low condition.
It is easy to become ensnared in the ways of the world and to break
away requires diligent effort.
said, “Strive to enter in at the
strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall
not be able.” Lk. 13:24 Many
will wake up only when it is too late and realize that the way to eternal
life was truly strait and narrow, Matt. 7:13,14.
To follow fully will require
a sacrifice of the things of this world, but this is a small price to pay
compared to what hwhy
has promised to give us in return. In
Ps. 50:5 says, “Gather
My saints together unto Me; those
that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” One
time a man came to and
asked what was required for him to inherit eternal life,
could see that the man had many useful talents that could be used in hwhy’s
service but this man’s business and money was a snare to him.
So told him to sell
all he had and give it to the poor and then to come and follow Him.
The man turned away, as his possessions meant more to him than the
service of . To
break away from a bad practice might be as hard as cutting off your own
hand or pulling out your own eye, Mk. 9:43-46, but even if this drastic a
measure is necessary, it will be worth it in consideration of the great
reward of eternal life. To
inherit eternal life, no sacrifice is too great.
One time a man came to and
complained that His disciples could not cast a demon out of his son.
replied with
scathing words, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how
long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.”
Matt. 17:17
later told His disciples that the power to cast out the demon was
available to them as well as to Him but the difference was they were
unbelieving and impure in heart and thus the power could not be bestowed
on them.
wants to do great things for us but it is our own unbelieving, perverted
condition that is preventing the blessing from coming.
Many Scriptures tell of the new heaven and earth that is to come in
the future, what is delaying the setting up of this new kingdom?
It is only the unbelief and perverseness of our own hearts.
We are not ready to see the pure kingdom of .
How is it with us, do we really want to see the end of this wicked world
and the new kingdom of
established? If so, we will
show so by the way we live our lives today.
During the festival days of the seventh month
designed that man should examine himself in the light of His Torah and see
that he brought his life into harmony with its precepts.
On the day of Trumpets
commanded a sacred gathering to awaken the people to the eternal realities
that would determine their future destinies.
Between Trumpets and the day of Atonement there were ten days to
meditate on the Ten Commandments, and on the tenth day of the seventh
month commanded this to be a
strict day of rest when no work of any kind was to be done and the people
were to afflict their souls before ,
confessing their sin and examining their life in the light of ’s
Torah. Yoel (Joel) 2:15,16
says, “Blow the trumpet in
Zion
, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16Gather the people,
sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and
those that suck the breasts…” Those
who repented of and put away their sins would enjoy a time of rejoicing
during the seven day festival of Tabernacles.
Tabernacles is symbolic of the time of rejoicing ’s
people will have during the 1000 year millennium period.
The last eighth day of Tabernacles is symbolic of the redeemed
people being in the new heaven and earth, when all sin and sinners are no
more.
Brothers and sisters as the solemn autumn festival days are approaching
let awake to the calling Yahweh has upon on us and commit ourselves to
finishing the work He has given into our hands.
