TESHUVAH & MATTHEW 22

By -

 Teshuvah takes place from September 1 - through Oct 10 this year...


Let's take a look at Matthew 22 and then maybe we will understand Teshuvah's two parts the first 30 days and the last 10 days.

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.  He sent his servants (the prophets) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.  
“Then he sent some more servants (prophets, revivalists) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’ (NOW!) (implied) Matthew 22:1-4

This first phase of the story is the 'Days of Elijah' a voice calling men to decide once and for all, who is God, and then worship Him. In these final days, God will not always strive with man, but after being refused over and over again, He will come swiftly and suddenly and take his bride with Him on the Feast of Trumpets. 

So the first 30 days are for the bride to RETURN.  We see this in the message to the church in Ephesus, in the book of Revelation chapter 2. 
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! 
Repent (return) and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent (return), I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Revelation 2:4-5
“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city Matthew 22:6-7
This Scripture passage verses 5-7 above is talking about Israel and refers to the Great 'Tribulation' or the time of 'Jacobs trouble' with all the bowls and all the 'trumpets'. Those who refused to come "like in the days of Noah" will be unable to come on their own once God closes the door of Salvation.

When we look back at the Spring Feasts again, we can see that they were all 'harvest' feasts. and so if we look through the history of man we can see the three major feasts prophetically in the seasons of God. 
  • Passover - Barley Harvest - Incorruptible bread = Overcomer
  • Pentecost - Wheat Harvest - Indwelling Spirit of God = Able to stand
  • Tabernacles - Nuts, Fruit trees, New Wine - The tree of life (in Jesus) is restored to Adam's race.
The fall Feast of Tabernacles is the celebration of the completion of all the Harvests when all the 'nuts' and 'fruits' have been harvested and the new wine has been brought into the wine presses. 

“Then he said to his servants... 
‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’  
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. Matthew 22:8-10
In the Matthew passage above we see the nuts and the fruits (puns intended) the servants brought everybody in to fill the chairs, the bad as well as the good, the 'nuts' as well as the 'fruits'. 

So back to the Fall Feasts - here is the sequence of events 

The entire Sixth month 'Elul' = New Moon 
  • Teshuvah (30 days) for the 'bride' (New Jerusalem) to return to her first love
The Seventh month 'Tishri' = New Moon 
  • Trumpets (2 days) (the wedding day of the King and his bride)
Teshuvah (continued) - Days of Awe 
Last Call for the who-so-ever-will to be reconciled to God) the 'sheep' nations come in, the 'goat' nations refuse to come in. 
  • Day of Atonement (the dead and the living on the earth will be judged) the 'sheep' nations separated from the 'goat' nations. 
"every knee will bow and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord." 
  • Tabernacles - seven days (all the harvests have come in) the door has been shut... the Millennial reign of Christ on the earth.
The key of the house of DavidI will lay on his shoulder;So he shall open, and no one shall shut;And he shall shut, and no one shall open. - Isaiah 22:22
  •  The Great 8th Day - A New Heaven and A New Earth

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
