The HOLIEST of HOLY Days starts tonight - Are You Prepared?

This, Holiest of Holy Days, each year was the only fast day that was required by the law. All the other sacred assemblies were feast days, not fast days. 

This year that 24-hour fast starts at Sundown tonight on Wednesday, September 15, and runs until Sundown on Thursday, September 16.

Isaiah 58 was referring specifically to Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)

On this one day each year, the High Priest would go into the Holy of Holies and sprinkle the blood on the mercy seat. The nation stood anxiously waiting to see if the sacrifice was acceptable to Jehovah. They would tie a scarlet cord on the door handles of the temple (like the scarlet cord that Rahab used to lower the spies down outside the Jericho wall in the book of Joshua.) If the blood sacrifice was accepted by Jehovah then the scarlet cord tied to the door handles would turn pure white. 

This miracle happened every year for centuries on the Day of Atonement when Israel was serving the Lord. Rabbinical records within the Talmud state that it stopped in 29-30 A.D. It stopped turning white in the fall of the same year that Jesus was crucified. Signifying that when God comes to judge the nations on Yom Kippur, as a fulfillment of this feast in the final days, it will be a dependence on Jesus' shed blood alone that will be acceptable. If a nation does not confess Jesus as Lord and Savior that nation's sins will not be removed and cast into the sea of forgetfulness. They will be judged accordingly.

There are 30 days when one trumpet blast is made each day during the entire month leading up to 'the Feast of Trumpets' to remind everyone to be about the process of self-examination and returning to the Lord. On the Feast of Trumpets, it is blown up to 120 times in one day. 

After the Feast of Trumpets, this self-examination became even more urgent as the Great and terrible Day approached. Like a countdown to judgment 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the ten days (of Awe) that fall between Rosh Hashanah, (Trumpets) and Yom Kippur, (Day of Atonement) are compared to the 'Days of Noah'. Those days were just prior to God closing the door of the Ark from the outside. It also mirrors the fourteen days of removing leaven from the house just before Passover in the Spring to prepare for that Holy day. 

One way to observe these days is to consider one of the Ten commandments for each of the ten days. 

You can start at the beginning with, "you shall have no other gods before me" or at the end with, "You shall not covet your neighbor's..." stuff. 

Take each day to consider how am I doing in regards to that day's commandment? 

Am I putting anything, anyone, before the Lord? 

Am I jealous, envious, or am I coveting my neighbor's situation, what he, owns and what he has at his disposal? 

Am I honoring the Lord's sabbath? and so on... 

More next time on the countdown to Judgment.

  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...
