FEAST OF TABERNACLES - 1

OCTOBER 1, 2012

At sunset tonight September 30, 2012, we enter into "our season of rejoicing," also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot. This is the last festival of the 7th month on the Sacred Calendar, it is also the last of the Torah Feasts that Yahweh instituted in Leviticus 23. This festival is celebrated for 7 days and then the "great day", a total of 8 days.

When ancient Israel came out of Egypt they had no houses to live in while traveling through the Wilderness, so they built booths (sukkas) from tree branches. They were commanded to observe this feast each year starting the 15th day of the 7th month (Tishrei), this was to commemorate their experience. However, there were many more deeper spiritual significances to the observation of this feast. Their rehearsal in the natural of building booths (sukkas) was foreshadowing a time when humanity would realize that God lives within mankind. We are the tabernacle, booths (sukkas). "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with (in) man (humanity)." Revelation 21:3

Over the next few days, we will briefly examine some of the hidden mysteries of Sukkot - Feast of Tabernacles. In some Bible translations Sukkot is spelled Succoth. Also, during this period of the next 8 days, we expect manifestations in the earth realm.

YAHWEH'S HOLIDAYS-FESTIVALS

Does God have holidays (festivals)? Yes! The Creator is a party Being and loves to enjoy Himself. He does this through humans/creation. What we call Spirit, expresses and experiences all of the wonderful emotions of love, joy, excitement and peace through us. He gives us joy and peace that surpasses that which material or fleshly pleasures can offer.

"And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, These Are My Feasts." Leviticus 23:1-2

We know that God has set times for celebrations and they must be important if He set asides these specific times. If we desire to walk in step with Spirit, would it not be wise to at least know and acknowledge these times? Our intent is not to revive legalism; but to show the validity and blessings of observing God's holidays. Most spiritual people are confused and are observing pagan and demonic holidays (Easter, Halloween, Christmas, etc). They are not aware that the Creator has already given us the holidays we should be aware of.

The writer of the Book of Hebrews saw how in the 1st century some were forgetting the importance of God's holidays. Some had come to realize the law was only a shadow of things to come and that the holidays/feast days were rehearsals for something greater. However, they had thrown out the baby with the bath water, by not understanding the importance of the sacred Calendar. "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25

Regretfully, this very powerful verse has been twisted and reduced to mean, "don't forget to go to Church every Sunday." There is nothing wrong with "going to church" and it is very much needed, especially, in these challenging times. However, this verse inspired by the Holy Spirit was specifically encouraging us not to forget to come together for the set times, the 7 Feasts of Yahweh mentioned in Leviticus 23. They were summed up into (3) major events or gatherings throughout the year PASSOVER, PENTECOST & TABERNACLES (Sukkot). Deuteronomy 16:16

DOES GOD REALLY HAVE SPECIFIC TIMES THAT WE CAN BENEFIT FROM?

Yes! But keep in mind that Spirit transcends what we call time and we can experience Him anytime. However, as we have often shared, the "set times" are based in the secrets of agriculture and the secrets of the Zodiac. The feast days, God's holidays are precisely timed to coincide with events in earth and especially in the heavens. Sukkot can only come when the Moon is full and the Sun is in Libra, the 7th Zodiac sign. "Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven." During these times, the influence of the heavens (constellations) are much stronger to bring about desired results. These are also times of shifts in consciousness on the planet. The ancient sages, prophets and mystics called it "God's times for favor" or "season of favor." The wise King Solomon said, "There is a time and season for EVERYTHING under the Sun." Ecclesiastes 3:1

"You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come." Psalms 102:13 Let's take this verse apart.

You shall arise (Hebrew word, quwm, pronounced kum) means, to stand up on one's behalf, to defend and become powerful; to come on the scene. Mercy (Hebrew word ra-cham) means, to be full of compassion, love deeply; to have tender affections. Zion represents those that have been enlightened by him. Time (Hebrew word eth) means season, event; experience. Favor (Hebrew word kha'nan) to show grace, favor, pity, mercy; consideration. Set time (Hebrew word mow'ad) the set aside time, appointment, fixed time, feast day; sacred season. It is tied to the word for marriage. Come (Hebrew word Bo) means, to enter in, come to pass. (Using the definitions of these words from the original Hebrew language, let amplify what this verse says. Here's prophetic message very much relevant for today).

"God, the Creator stands up (in us and around us) in power and comes on the scene to defend us. He is filled with compassion, tender affections and deep love for those that have been enlightened by him. During this specific season, He will show you grace, favor and consideration. This time has been fixed by the heavens for the feast days, a sacred season, set apart by God To Bless You. It is like the joy and consummation of a marriage that has finally come to pass." (Meditate on that - Selah)

"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to Offer An Offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.

Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD." Leviticus 23:33-44

THE ASTRO-PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND TABERNACLES/SUKKOT

What was the Feast day that we just observed 5 days ago? Was it not Atonement, Yom Kippur, also called Judgment Day? It was the only day of the sacred Calendar, we are instructed to be depressed (take deep personal assessment). After the stress of the "10 days of awe" and realization that the verdict is NOT GUILTY, there was a need for something much more to heal the soul.

The psychology of all of this is heavily tied to the influences of the stars, it is astro-psychology. Astro-psychology is the science of human behavior, mental attitude and emotions, when influenced by the stars. There are (3) sub-constellations or decans of Libra, as we have shared. Each sub-constellation rises for 10 days and there are (3) assigned to each Zodiac sign. Without going into in depth explanations, here are the (3) sub-constellations of Libra again. CRUX the Cross, LUPUS the Wolf (Victim) and CORONA the Crown (Reward).

My point is, the heavens influence the earth. We are talking about astro-psychology. If there has been anger, rage, extreme emotions, impatience or negativity stirring in you over the past 14 days, it is not by coincidence. Everything within must come to the surface to be dealt with and taken to the Crux/Cross. This period of time was set aside for you to get to know thyself, see things for what they really are, overcome and move on.

The Crown of Libra represents VICTORY, authority, life and divinity. When someone receives a crown, it is a time for celebration and validation. The Feast of Tabernacles is your coronation ceremonial, it is not a time to be sad. We are rehearsing how it shall be when we are fully awaken to who we are. It is a time of validating the eternal I AM that I AM Presence. You have experienced ATONEMENT, Crux has crossed out the super-Ego, the carnal nature. You have presented your body as the living sacrifice (Lupus - victim). Now there is the Crown of life waiting for you. Sukkot/Tabernacles is the reward for your time of challenges and suffering.

Let me go a bit metaphysical for a moment before we get to the definition of some words in Leviticus 23.

Corona the Crown, 3rd sub-constellation of Libra, represents the Crown Chakra- it is the 7th spinning wheel of energy-color violet. The 7th energetic wheel or vortex within is parallel to the 7th Feast, Sukkot/Tabernacles. The physical counterpart is the pituitary gland inside the brain. When we read the scriptures about receiving a Crown of life or receiving any kind of crown; this is not a literal crown. This is speaking of the full activation of the pituitary gland or Crown Chakra in humans, working in harmony with the pineal gland.

The astro-psychology behind Sukkot, is to build up humanity after being humbled. This was also demonstrated in the building of the Booths (sukkas). It was to change the attitude and raise up the frequency of humanity through celebration and rejoicing. It was about realizing we have a chance to start over again, no matter how far we appear to have fallen. And even in what appears as weakness, we are not disqualified. Rather, we are given a Crown, the authority to rule over the affairs of our life; empowerment.

EXTREME WORSHIP

When reading the Leviticus 23 verses from the English translation, we miss a lot of what is being said. I just want to highlight some words in this passage of scripture to actually show you how we are commanded to worship or celebrate Presence. One would have to be able to discern both the internal and external experience to reap the full benefits. Each of these holidays have multi-dimensional meanings, we will only sample some of the meanings and experiences in these blogs. Our intent in explaining and defining the words below is to help you get out of your box (head-mind). We want to challenge you to totally lose yourself; allow Spirit to carry you away, as it was with John on the isle of Patmos.

"...You shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month." Leviticus 23:40-41 We will examine the words, "rejoice" and "celebrate".

Rejoice (Hebrew word sa'mach) means to be glad, joyful, filled with joy and excitement. Celebrate (Hebrew word khä·gag') means to Dance, stagger, reel to and fro; to become giddy (as a drunkard), lightheaded, GaGa.

This is what we were commanded to do for 7 days, PARTY!! (Of course not in the sense that the world does with alcohol and drugs). He was speaking of getting so filled with Spirit, high off of life, that you would appear drunk. "Be not drunk with wine wherein is excess, but keep on being filled with the Holy Spirit." This is not the season (set time) for sitting in meditation, it is the season for increasing the body and brain frequency through excitement, music, laughter, dancing, holy rolling and joyfully giving to help others. We must learn to match our frequency with heavens frequency to experience heavens benefits. (It's ok to meditate also, we are only explaining times and season. Life is so much easier when we choose to walk in step with Spirit).

Here is a challenge for some of you. For the next 7 days, start your day off with lively music, excitement. Jump out of the bed excited to be alive. If you can not start your day off with lively music, at least find some time before you sleep to get your body moving. It is important that you match your frequency with the frequency of the heavens. Get rid of the tear jerking whining music. "The joy of the LORD is your strength." Only tears of joy. Your positive, joyful attitude is seed for a harvest of greater joy. Jump around, do aerobics, or Hallelujah power walks. There is a such thing as "sacrifice of praise". That means, when you don't feel like it, when there seems to be no reason to be happy and you are having a bad day at work or home. Here are some provocative questions to help you realize some reasons to be extremely joyful and thankful.

Are you yet breathing??!! Can you at least move about? Are you yet somewhat sane? Did you walk out of that store, beauty salon, theater, or mall; without encountering a mad man shooting or trying to kill you? These are reasons to celebrate.

For the next 7-8 days act like Ed McMahon has showed up at your door announcing that you have won a $10 million dollar Sweepstake. Don't wait until your personal battles are over to rejoice, celebrate NOW. That is the seed for your Victory=Crown. Your attitude will determine your aptitude.

KNOW WHEN TO SOW

The set times and feasts based on the movements of the heavens were given to us to Ble$$ us. Studying the verses in Leviticus 23 and other verses relating to Sukkot, God challenged the people to GIVE above and beyond their normal giving. This was to take place over an 8 day period, Tishrei 15- Tishrei 22 (October 1-8 this year) This is God's prophetic set season for giving, not the counterfeit Christmas; although, giving and helping others anytime is good.

"Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.."Leviticus 23

Look out of your window tonight. What do you see? You see the HARVEST FULL MOON. Everyone knows, it's harvest time, even the secular media calls it the Harvest Moon. Tabernacles/Sukkot is a Harvest Feast. The mistake that many make is; they eat their seed, instead of sowing seed. Don't eat your seed. Know when to sow during specific days.

The requirement was to give extra offerings during specific days. Using astrological, agricultural and universal laws, they were sowing and entreating the universe for another future Abundant Harvest that would manifest in exactly 6 months at Passover. Your harvest is locked up in your seed and can not manifest until it is sown.

Use the next 7 days to set the intent, program your $eed (donation) for what you want it to produce and EXPECT God to Arise, show up on your behalf. Keep in mind, we are only telling you what shall be, when we walk in step with Spirit and understanding the times and seasons.

WILL THE HEAVENS GIVE US A CLUE OR CONFIRMATION?

If you have been following our blogs or ministry over the years, you are well aware of how we have demonstrated the ability given by Spirit to accurately read planetary energies and other energies and announce in detail before events happen. We have often mentioned the position of Venus and Jupiter (the giant balls of energy that prophesy Money, Wealth, and many other things) and how they related to Wall Street, personal finances, and many other events with accuracy. So we will not go into all the detail again here- we will only show you what these planets are doing during the Feast of Tabernacles to assist with the influence of Harve$t.

October 2-3, VENUS conjuncts with Regulus in LEO. The Lion of Judah treads under feet lack, poverty and misfortune as Venus turns things around.

October 4, JUPITER moves closer to the Moon and continues fairly close until October 6. Jupiter, the Rain God, pours out blessings and abundance.

October 7-8 - Satan is cast down. In the constellation of Draco the Dragon, there is a meteor shower, Draconids. This is astrological fulfilling of Revelation 12. All obstacles are being moved out of the way. More later about that.

There are many more astrological-astronomical events during the next 7 days testifying to what we are experiencing. Know When To Sow.

To help you get in the party mood - Turn your volume up. Sing Hallelujah! Rejoice!!
