In our exploration of ancient writings, it's crucial to examine everything carefully - even the intriguing apocryphal books like Enoch and Jasher. While these texts may capture our imagination, true scripture must always be tested rigorously, confirmed authentic, and shown to align perfectly with the inspired words of Elohim.

Send us a textThanksgiving Day as a national holiday in America dates back to 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln proclaim the 4th Thursday in November a yearly day of thanks. "It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens."However the tradition of giving thanks to God for his providential care goes back to the Pilgrims who had come over from Holland on the Mayflower. Governor Bradford reports that Plymouth had been stricken with a severe drought. "Upon which," said William Bradford "they set apart a solemn day of humiliation, to seek the Lord by humble and fervent prayer, in this great distress." That same evening it began "to rain with such sweet and gentle showers as gave them cause of rejoicing and blessing God… For which mercy, in time convenient, they also set apart a day of thanksgiving." They had lived for 10 years in Holland to escape religious persecution from King James toward the Separatists. There they had contact with Anabaptist and Sephardic Jews who observed a feast of thanks known as Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles or booths). Our Thanksgiving festival probably goes alway to the Torah indirectly through the Pilgrims having such a feast in 1621. George Webb records a prayer like the one they would have offered on that November 29.O Lord our God and heavenly Father, which of Thy unspeakable mercy towards us, hast provided meate and drinke for the nourishment of our weake bodies. Grant us peace to use them reverently, as from Thy hands, with thankful hearts: let Thy blessing rest upon these Thy good creatures, to our comfort and sustentation: and grant we humbly beseech Thee, good Lord, that as we doe hunger and thirst for this food of our bodies, so our soules may earnestly long after the food of eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, Amen.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 27th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 55:11, and the Lord says; ”So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Then we go to the New Testament, John 7:26:”But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ? “ Now, remember what happened. Jesus told the disciples to go up to Jerusalem to the Feast of Tabernacles. He said, ”I will come later,” because they were seeking to kill Jesus. So eventually He came to Jerusalem on His own, and then He started to teach in the temple. His words were so bold that everyone listened without a word. The power of the spoken word of God. They recognised Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, by the words which proceeded from His mouth.I want to say to you today, my dear friend, and this applies to me, we are not using the word of God enough. That is where the power is! William Shakespeare was a great writer, but there's no power when you quote Shakespeare. When you quote Sigmund Freud, there's no power. When you even quote Albert Einstein, supposed to be the most brilliant mind, there's no power, but when you quote the Word of God, there is power which accompanies the spoken Word of God.I have had the privilege of speaking at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem a number of times, and I want to tell you when you say, ”thus says the Lord,” the power comes down folks, especially if you believe it. If you look at some of those old crusade tapes of Dr Billy Graham and he says, ”and the word of God says….” As soon as he quotes Scripture, you can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in that stadium amongst those thousands and thousands of people. I've experienced it in my own life, standing up there, feeling totally inadequate, but as soon as I start quoting the word of God, a supernatural power comes down and energises me, and I can see a change in that vast crowd.I want to speak to mothers today. You've got a sick child. Oh mom, go and lay your hands on your child and speak the Word of God over that child, speak healing over that little child. I want to say to dad, he doesn't know what to do at work anymore, there are big problems there. Speak the Word of God. I really mean that, quote Scripture. You will be surprised by how the men will come into line.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.
Monday, 24 November 2025 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children. Matthew 14:21 “And those eating, they were about five thousand men, besides women and children” (CG). In the previous verse, it was noted that all the people present ate, were gorged, and they collected twelve baskets of pieces that were left over. Matthew next records, “And those eating, they were about five thousand men, besides women and children.” Each gospel narrative notes the number of men. Matthew, however, adds in the “besides women and children” to ensure that the number is understood to be men, plus others. The addition of this note concerning women and children could potentially bring the number up to as many as fifteen to twenty thousand people. There is no need to assume, as many scholars do, that there would not be as many women and children as normal because of the long trek or some other reason. People moved about on their feet. It was common and the expected norm that all would keep up on such treks. During the three annual pilgrim feasts, the entire family would walk from wherever they were to Jerusalem. Such a walk around the Sea of Galilee would be a snap for such hardy annual travelers. The numbers would have been great who received the miraculously provided food from Jesus. Life application: It is not uncommon for people to say that only the men were required to travel to Jerusalem on the pilgrim feasts. This is because it says in Exodus 23:17, “Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord God.” With that, they stop their analysis and conclude that only the men went. However, later it says – “You shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. 12 And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.” Deuteronomy 16:11, 12 This is repeated in Deuteronomy 16:13-15. Then the matter is summed up, saying – “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.” Deuteronomy 16:16, 17 In other words, the “all your males” is stated in the same manner that the gospels speak of the males in relation to the feeding of the five thousand. It is an all-inclusive statement concerning the family that is represented by the males. When reading the Bible, be sure to be familiar with it by methodically checking on things. There is a lot of information that has to be learned, and it is a lifetime challenge, but the more you read and remember, the less likely you are to have errors in your understanding. Even scholars of the Bible make blunders by assuming things from a single verse that are later qualified. So be methodical and contemplative. If you are, you will be rewarded for your diligent efforts, for sure. Lord God Almighty, how wonderful is Your word! You have filled it with wisdom, wonder, and treasure. May we be responsible and read it slowly, contemplatively, and prayerfully. May we carefully tend to this wondrous and sacred gift You have given to us. Amen.
In his sermon on the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), Pastor Mel teaches that this joyful seven-day biblical festival, celebrated each fall after the harvest, was designed by God to remind Israel of His faithful provision during the wilderness years when they lived in temporary shelters, while also pointing forward to greater spiritual realities fulfilled in Christ. Drawing from Leviticus 23, he highlights the command to dwell in booths, rejoice with branches, and rest on the first and eighth days, noting how Jesus Himself attended this feast and, on its climactic last day, stood in the Temple and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink,” promising rivers of living water—the Holy Spirit—who would later be poured out at Pentecost and, as Joel prophesied and Peter confirmed, continues to be poured out upon all flesh in the last days. Mel connects the temporary tents of Sukkot to Paul's imagery of our earthly bodies as tents awaiting an eternal house from God, encouraging the congregation to live in joyful expectation of the ultimate ingathering when Christ returns and we tabernacle forever with Him.
7 takeaways from this study “Do not fear” is a recurring biblical instruction, encouraging believers to trust in God's presence and guidance through all challenges. Trials and hardships serve as refining experiences that strengthen character, deepen faith, and prepare individuals for future deliverance. True courage is not the absence of fear but moving forward in faith despite fear — acting rather than being paralyzed. Maintaining a “fear of the Lord” means valuing the relationship with God and seeking to avoid anything that would harm that connection, rather than fearing punishment. Preparedness and vigilance — both spiritually and practically — are key to navigating adversity and supporting faith with disciplined action. Community support, mutual encouragement and accountability are vital for overcoming fear and standing strong together in faith. Resilience through God's love ensures that no external trial or hardship can separate believers from His presence and purpose. One of the Bible's most resonant instructions is, “Do not fear.” In Hebrew, it’s “אַל־תִּירָא” al-tira. This phrase and its variations thread through the stories of Israel, the teachings of the prophets, the words of Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), and on into the Apostolic Writings. This journey is more than academic. It's personal and communal, rooted in the movements of our people and echoed in our own individual walks. The exhortation to trust Adonai (the LORD) despite what surrounds us is as timely today as it was in the days when Israel's back was to the sea. Let's walk through these scriptures, lessons, and our lived experience, finding inspiration to live al-tira — without fear — anchored in faith, hope and love. Standing firm when boxed in: Lessons from the Torah This study focuses on Exodus 13–15, as Israel was hemmed in at the edge of the sea. It’s an archetype for the moments when we too are boxed in by circumstances. “But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD (יְשׁוּעַת יְהוָה Yeshuat Adonai) which He will accomplish for you today…'” Exodus 14:13 NASB95 Notice that Israel wasn't told to whip up courage by their own strength, but instead to “stand” — to trust in Adonai's deliverance יְשׁוּעַ Yeshua (“salvation”). In fact, throughout the wilderness, from the Red Sea to Sinai and onward, the phrase al-tira is repeated. If you count each variation — including the times Adonai (YHWH, the LORD) commissioned יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yehoshua (Joshua, “Yah is salvation”) — it appears at least 14–15 times. Each time, it addresses a real threat and a real fear, but points the response straight at faith. “Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 1:21 NASB95 This is more than literary repetition. It's a compassionate, fatherly reassurance that speaks not only to our heads, but to our hearts and our whole life. The Festival of Sukkot: Hope and dwelling with God Just over a month ago we celebrated סֻכּוֹת Sukkot (Festival of Tabernacles), the festival remembering God's dwelling (שָׁכַן shakan, “to dwell”) with us. Sukkot is about hope — about God's ultimate desire to restore what was lost in the Garden of Eden, to reconnect Heaven and Earth. This “tabernacling” — God pitching His tent among mankind (John 1:14) —reminds us that His presence is the antidote to fear. Even today as we recall these truths, we can find freedom in knowing that the goal isn't merely to escape danger, but to dwell with the Creator, to be led as Israel was by the pillar: “a pillar of leading both in front of and as a barrier behind.” God's presence shields and guides. Refining through trials: Hardship, maturity, glory One of my biggest takeaways is that fear isn't merely something to banish; trials are a refining process. We read in Exodus 15:2: “The LORD is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.” Each hardship, each moment when resources run out and we come to the end of ourselves, is an invitation to honor and glorify God. These moments press us into deeper reliance on Him. Trials refine us. They build us. They help us to mature. This refining isn't easy — but it brings us to “stand by and see Yeshuat Adonai” — “the salvation of the LORD.” Just as in ancient times, we're invited to see that our salvation is not our own doing. Hebrew wordplay: Fear, seeing, ‘fear of the LORD’ In our study, we uncovered a fascinating play on Hebrew words. The verbs “to fear” (יָרֵא yareʼ) and “to see” (רָאָה raʼah) share similar letters. The same three letters (י-ר-א) show up in both concepts — notably, with the verb inflection יַרְא yare, “he saw” — suggesting that seeing the LORD, being aware of His presence, is fundamental to having the right kind of fear, of reverence. Many prophets warned that rebellious people in Israel claimed Adonai doesn’t see what they were doing, yet indeed the LORD does see. A healthy “fear of the LORD” (יִרְאַת יְהוָה Yirat Adonai) is not about being frightened, but about living in the awareness that God sees, knows — and cares. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 It's a relational fear — a deep respect for not wanting to break connection with God, more than dreading His judgment. Salvation, Yom Kippur & the limits of human offerings Almost two months ago when we celebrated יוֹם כִּפּוּר Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, it was clear: even all the sacrifices and acts at the מִשְׁכָּן Mishkan (“dwelling place,” i.e., the Tabernacle”) cannot cover every transgression. The ultimate lesson is clear — salvation (יְשׁוּעָה yeshuah) is only from the LORD, and His Yeshua. On Yom Kippur, we recognize that none of our own efforts can truly bridge the gap. It is only by God’s grace and initiative. From Sinai to the Promised Land: Remembering Who fights for us As Israel moved through the wilderness, again and again comes this refrain: “Do not fear.” Whether it was crossing the Red Sea, standing before the walls of Jericho, or facing kings like Og and Sihon, and the inhabitants of Canaan, the challenge was the same: Will we trust ourselves, or the God who fights for us? “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NASB95 The lesson? Deliverance is from God, and He alone brings the victory when we are at our limits. Courage in the face of suffering: From Torah to Apostolic Writings Our discussion brought us forward into the Apostolic Writings (בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה Brit Chadasha), aligning with themes of endurance through suffering and the power of Messiah's resurrection. Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) echoes the same instruction: “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 NASB95 Apostle Sha'ul (Paul) reminded his disciple Timothy: For God has not given us a spirit of timidity (δειλίας deilias, “cowardice”), but of power and love and discipline. 2Timothy 1:7 NASB95 Through these passages, we see that God's spirit cultivates strength, love and self-control — not paralyzing fear. Martyrdom, witness, endurance Martyrs, empowered by God, have stood firm in the face of persecution. The Greek word μαρτυρία martyria means “witness.” Martyrdom, in this sense, is the ultimate testimony of faith that light shines brightest in the darkness. Even when external freedoms are stripped away, true victory is choosing faithfulness over fear — just as the apostles did, preaching the Good News despite threats. The fear of the LORD as relationship, not terror The kind of fear God desires is a relational awe, not servile terror. Think of it like a marriage or a close friendship. A healthy relationship is not built on dread of punishment, but a healthy concern not to damage the bond. It is really healthy to fear that the relationship and connection will be broken because of actions we take. This aligns with a deep dive into true love by the apostle Yokhanan (John): There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. 1John 4:18 NASB95 This “fear” — φόβος phobos — is not what God desires. Instead, He asks for love that leads to obedience, reverence, and deep relationship. Moving from paralysis to purpose: Acting in faith despite fear Courage is not as the absence of fear, but as acting in faith regardless of it. It's doing the thing that God put in front of us. So don't be paralyzed by fear. Instead, train yourself, prepare and choose steps of faith. “Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid….” Deuteronomy 20:3 In our own lives, this means having a plan — whether for emergencies, spiritual battles, or daily challenges. Preparedness and vigilance: Working together After the return of Israel’s exiles from Babylon/Persia under Nehemiah, those rebuilding Jerusalem's walls “carried their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon…” (Nehemiah 4:17–18). The lesson is twofold: trust God, but also be prepared. Practical vigilance — both spiritual and physical — is not a lack of faith, but an outworking of it. As we stand together, each with our skills — some “building,” some “watching out,” some “encouraging,” and all praying — we create a community where all are safer, stronger, and more supported. Paul's “armor of God” metaphor (Ephesians 6) builds on this: put on the whole armor, gird yourself with truth, faith, and the sword of the Word. Endurance and the ministry of reconciliation Sometimes, we're called to endure rather than to withdraw. Paul, about to face chains in Jerusalem (Acts 21), declared: “I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua” (Acts 21:13, paraphrased). Our group considered: when should we endure? When is it time to step away? Yeshua's teaching in Matthew 18 gives a process for reconciliation — attempting peace, but recognizing that at times, withdrawing or escalating a matter is necessary. The goal: endurance that seeks reconciliation where possible, with forgiveness and a heart to let go of vengeance. Community, boundaries and discernment We recognized the importance of boundaries — drawn from Torah's instructions on immovable boundary stones (Deuteronomy 19:14). In our relationships, staying “vigilant as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16) is just as important. We want to serve and love, but also discern and guard our own spiritual and emotional well-being. Discernment doesn't mean suspicion; it means wisdom, humility, and responsible stewardship, especially for those in leadership. Resilience: Nothing can separate us from God's love There’s a triumphant promise in Romans 8: “But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.” Romans 8:37–39 This is resilience — not denial of trials, but knowing that the worst the world can do cannot remove us from His love and purpose. Living al-tira “Do not fear” — “Al-tira.” Life's seas may seem impassable, walls may seem insurmountable, and adversity may threaten to paralyze us. But in every situation, God's call is to stand, trust, and move forward in faith. Through suffering or deliverance, through trial or triumph, we are to remember that the LORD is our strength, our shield, and our salvation. Let us encourage one another to be courageous — not because of our own might, but because of Yeshuat Adonai, the salvation of the LORD, goes before us and with us. Let's practice vigilance, invest in community, set wise boundaries, pursue reconciliation, and — most importantly — treasure the relationship with our Father above all. May we trust, endure, and rejoice, knowing that nothing can separate us from His love. We all strive to live lives of purposeful faith, echoing this across generations: “Do not fear. Stand and see the salvation of the LORD.”

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary In this compelling discussion, the family explore the deep connection between Christianity and its Jewish roots. Ron, Mike, Debbie, and Ken uncover how centuries of church history have drifted from the original faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They emphasize the need for believers to rediscover the Hebraic foundations of their faith, restoring the oneness that existed in the early church. As the Holy Spirit reveals truth for this present age, the group recognizes that God is blending Jew and Gentile together once again, preparing His bride for the culmination of the ages. Show Notes The Root of the Faith: Christianity's foundation is found in the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The early church lost its connection to Judaism, leading to centuries of misunderstanding.Historical Separation: By the second and third centuries, Christianity had distanced itself from its Jewish heritage, contributing to antisemitism and a perversion of the original message.The Law and Fulfillment: Jesus did not abolish the Law but fulfilled it (Matthew 5:17). The Old Testament provides the framework for understanding the New Testament.Restoration and Revelation: The Holy Spirit is unveiling truth in this age to bring restoration and unity. Believers must return to understanding God through His original covenant people.The First-Century Model: Early believers continued observing feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles—while walking in the revelation of Christ.Blending of Jew and Gentile: The Spirit is merging both groups into one new man (Ephesians 2:14-16). This union represents the bride being made ready for Christ.Culmination of the Ages: God is perfecting His people by restoring what was lost. A new era is dawning, not by invention but by revelation of ancient truth. Quotes “The root is the patriarchs — Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Christian church left those roots, and that's why we've had 2,000 years of perversion.” — Ron“If you don't have the root, you cannot understand the New Testament. It's the revelation of the Old...
Nehemiah 8 tells us that as Ezra read the Law of Moses from dawn to midday to the people standing and listening attentively for it was God's Word that was being read and explained with diligence. The people's response in verse 8 was a loud and audible, "Amen, Amen". Ezra urges the people, not to weep but, to rejoice in God's Word as they together share His blessings. Then the chapter says that they kept the Feast of Booths (or Tabernacles) for seven days and then on the 8th day they observe a solemn assembly (Hebrew "holy convocation"). This day is in the Law of Moses only once named - and is known as "Shemini Azaret", or "the day of the righteous" - speaking of eternal life in God's kingdom.Joel 3 tells of the time that will soon come at the time of the end of the kingdom of men. At this time the Lord Jesus Christ will come and set up the kingdom of God on this earth (Revelation 11verses15-19). The great battle of God Almighty is "Armageddon" in Revelation 16verses14-16, - those verses are taken from what we are told in Joel 3. These events were only possible in recent years, because the start of Joel 3 tells us that Israel must be back in their own land with Jerusalem as their capital city. Armageddon will be a time for God's judgments on the nations for their sinfulness and ungodliness and on those nations who that have wrongfully treated His people - Israel. It will be a time for war - a holy war, in fact. The word translated "prepare" in verse 8 means a jihad, or holy war. Verse 10 speaks of a time when the economies of the world are turned from agriculture to war i.e. precisely what we see now. The time that follows will be of peace in the kingdom of Messiah - our Lord Jesus Christ (read Isaiah 2verses1-4; and Micah 4verses1-5). Verse 12 of Joel 3 is where Armageddon is mentioned in the Old Testament. The judgment of the nations is likened to the harvesting of the grain with a scythe (or sickle); it is also compared to the harvesting of the vine and crushing grapes in a winepress.In 2 Thessalonians 3 Paul asks for the believers' prayers that he might be helped to freely teach the gospel without hindrance. From verses 6-15 the Apostle urges the Macedonian faithful to keep working and avoiding idleness. Many had ceased working because they mistakenly thought that the coming of Jesus Christ was so close that they didn't need to work. Idle brothers had to learn to heed the advice contained in this letter. In the last two verses the Apostle Paul asks God to give the believers peace.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

In this session, Erin H. Warren teaches on John 10, which takes place at both the Feast of Tabernacles and the Feast of Dedication. Jesus makes two “I AM” statements: I AM the Door and I AM the Good Shepherd, proving Himself to be the only way to the Father and the more and better shepherd. Unlike the religious leaders, who look out for themselves like the shepherds of Ezekiel 34, Jesus fulfills the role of Good Shepherd, one who cares for, guides, provides for, and protects His sheep.For more information on this study, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/JohnFor recommended resources, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/ResourcesFor booking inquiries, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/Speaking

John 3:1-2 Nicodemus “you are a great teacher sent from God”Verses 3-8 Jesus reply seems enigmatic… why wasn't He more straightforward?Why not something like:“Nicodemus… actually I am God. Technically the Father and I together are God, we are one, we are a family. You are correct in that I was sent here, you see the Father sent me. You haven't met the Father yet… I'm here to reveal Him to you, to show you what He's like and what He's all about. As I mentioned before… the Father and I are one. So, if you've seen me you've seen the Father and I'm only going to say what He would have me say, so if you hear my words you've heard the Father's words.” Keep Reading »

Gen 33:17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. Root Word Suka The KJV translates Strong's H5521 in the following manner: tabernacle (12x), booth (11x), pavilion (5x), cottage (1x), covert (1x), tents (1x). thicket, covert, booth, thicket, booth (rude or temporary shelter) Plural Suka (Succoth) סוכות (succoth) broken down by letter: Samech, The root סכך (sakak) or שכך (sakak) speaks of the creation of a hedge of sorts from interwoven strands of sorts. It commonly describes how prickly branches interweave to create a defensive hedge to hide behind and to look intently out from Jeremiah 35:5-10 5 Then I set cups and pitchers filled with wine in front of the family of Rechab. I said to them, “Drink some wine.”6 They answered, “We don't drink wine, because our ancestor Jonadab, Rechab's son, gave us this order: ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine. 7 Never build any houses or plant any fields or vineyards. You must never have any of these things. You must always live in tents so that you may live for a long time in the land where you are staying.' 8 We, along with our wives, sons, and daughters, have obeyed our ancestor Jonadab, Rechab's son, in everything he ordered us to do. We have never drunk wine, 9 built houses to live in, or owned vineyards, pastures, or grainfields. 10 We live in tents, and we have obeyed everything our ancestor Jonadab ordered us to do. 11 But when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded this land, we said, ‘Let's go to Jerusalem to escape the Babylonian and Aramean armies.' That's why we are living in Jerusalem.” -Sucathites- A hedged in people From the root סכך(sakak), to weave a protection. Job 1:10 Names of God Bible 10 Haven't you put a protective fence around him, his home, and everything he has. You have blessed everything he does. His cattle have spread out over the land. Hosea 2:8 Names of God Bible 8 “She doesn't believe that I gave her grain, new wine, and olive oil. I gave her plenty of silver and gold, but she used it to make statues of Baal. Ruth 3 Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law, said to her, “My daughter, shouldn't I try to look for a home that would be good for you? 2 Isn't Boaz, whose young women you've been working with, our relative? He will be separating the barley from its husks on the threshing floor[a] tonight. 3 Freshen up, put on some perfume, dress up, and go down to the threshing floor. Don't let him know that you're there until he's finished eating and drinking. 4 When he lies down, notice the place where he is lying. Then uncover his feet, and lie down there. He will make it clear what you must do.” 5 Ruth answered her, “I will do whatever you say.” שוכתים- Verb סוך(suk) or סיך (syk) describes the administration of oil — apparently in the expectation that this would protect the recipient, since this two-faced verb may also be used to mean to hedge Noun אסוך ('asuk) means [oil-] flask. Noun מסכה (mesuka) means hedge and is obviously similar to משכה (mesukka) meaning hedge Ohel-The KJV translates Strong's H168 in the following manner: tabernacle(s) (198x), tent(s) (141x), dwelling (2x), place(s) (2x), covering (1x), home (1x). tent, nomad's tent, and thus symbolic of wilderness life, transience, dwelling, home, habitation, the sacred tent of Jehovah (the tabernacle) סוּךְ Transliteration sûḵ -Pronunciation-sook to anoint, pour in anointing (Qal) to anoint to anoint oneself to anoint (another) to be poured (Hiphil) to anoint https://jacksontrailfarm.com/2025/10/05/gospelstoryofthefeast/ At Sabbath Lounge we are dedicated to eating clean, keeping the Feast, Sabbath, following Torah, and leading as many people out of Babylon as possible.

https://youtu.be/f4AzxgarUrcPart 2 of our Fall Feasts prophecy series continues with the most powerful revelation yet:The pattern of the Spring and Fall Feasts reveals the entire prophetic timeline — from Messiah's first coming to His return at the final harvest.We'll examine the parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, and the final harvest in Revelation 14 to show how Yahusha was planted during Passover and Unleavened Bread, and why the harvest of His people happens in the Fall Feasts — Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles.
https://youtu.be/A37KsYb8OewMany have claimed the rapture would happen on the Feast of Trumpets — and every date has failed. But Scripture gives us something far better than speculation: a prophetic pattern.In this study, we'll uncover how the Fall Feasts — Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles — reveal the season of the Second Coming, just as the Spring Feasts foretold Yahusha's first coming.We'll connect Matthew 24, the Parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), and Revelation 14's Final Harvest, showing how Yahusha was “planted” during the Spring Feasts and returns during the harvest season in the Fall.No, we do not know the day or the hour — but Scripture tells us we can know the season.Join us as we test this Biblically and expose false date-setters once and for all.
Take Off the Masks: Choosing God's Reality Over Babylon's Illusions | KIB 503 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description There's a war on for your identity. In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake expose the spiritual "masks" the enemy uses—from sanitized cultural traditions to personal coping personas—and invite the Remnant to step into truth, transparency, and freedom in Christ. From Halloween's ancient roots to the modern pressure to "perform," we trace how unreality keeps believers stuck—and how the Holy Spirit heals, restores, and re-aligns us with God's design. We also pray for the grieving, cover the Remnant during this season, and offer practical next steps: renouncing occult doors, affirming our children's identity in Jesus, seeking wise counsel when needed, and learning to live mask-free before God and one another. "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another." — Ephesians 4:25 (ESV) Highlights Why the Word of God is a war book—and why unreality is a weapon of the enemy Ancient and modern uses of masks (ritual, identity-shifting, and social control) The danger of "sanitized" paganism and why God says "Come out of her, my people" Parenting through cultural pressure—affirming identity in Christ Personal testimonies: fear of rejection, humor as a mask, and God's gentle dismantling Practical deliverance: renouncing doors, pleading the blood of Jesus, and wise counseling Helmet of salvation vs. masks of unreality—how to walk in truth
Last month, VCY held its fall rally and the guest presenter was Chris Katulka from the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. He spoke on the issue: Why Israel Matters. Why does Israel still matter? Chris had this to say in his opening comments concerning the Bible: "From Genesis to Revelation, this book is Jewish, OK? Do you know that your Savior Jesus is Jewish? You know he never went to church, he went to synagogue. He never celebrated Christmas or Easter. That would be awkward, OK? Jesus celebrated Passover. He honored Yom Kippur. He kept the Feast of Tabernacles. He celebrated Hanukkah. Jesus is Jewish and we believe that if you have a passion for God's Word, then you should automatically have compassion for God's chosen people." That pretty much says it all, but we encourage you to listen to this larger portion of audio from the rally as Chris explains how the existence of a Palestinian state would really be a reward to Hamas. He breaks down Genesis 12:3 (the promise to Abraham) and how it extends throughout the entire Bible. Find out why the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Assyrians and numerous other people groups are gone, yet Israel is still in existence. Other points are examined as well, all to show that Israel still matters!

By Matthew Jenkins - We have just completed the Feast of Tabernacles and the 8th Day, and it will be about half a year until we come to Passover and the days of Unleavened Bread.
