Proclaiming the Moedim by the Spirit
Chapter 2 – How do we proclaim the LORD's Moedim by the Spirit?
When Jesus fulfilled the Spring Feasts in His first
coming, He forever transformed them into a New Covenant spiritual reality.
Before we can proclaim them in the proper New Covenant way
we have to understand some basic biblical principles, they are not complex, and you
might already know some of them. Last time we talked about this principle.
“First the natural and
afterward the spiritual” 1 Corinthians 15:46
In the Old Covenant, all of the Feasts and the law were expressed entirely in the natural realm.
Circumcision was a physical mark in the natural flesh indicating being sanctified unto God.
The people of God were natural (biological) descendants of Israel and his 12 sons.
· God's Presence dwelt in a tent covered by layers of dead animal skins stretched over poles that were set in sockets, a tabernacle or temple fashioned by the hands of men.
In the New Covenant, all of the Feasts of the Lord and the Law were transformed from the natural foreshadowing of things to come into a new Spiritual reality.

The law is now inscribed by the finger of God on tablets of flesh (the tablets of our hearts). Hebrews 8:10, - Jeremiah 31:33
Circumcision of the heart by the Spirit marks our sanctification unto God. - Romans 2:28-29
The people of God proclaim with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead, and they will be saved. Romans 10:9He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. - John 1:11-12

The sacrifice required was the physical death
of the son of man,
· A tabernacle or temple fashioned by the hands of men
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22
We must therefore proclaim the Moedim in a new spiritual way, foreshadowed by the Old Covenant's natural ways but made supernatural (spiritual) in the New Covenant. Since the Church has been grafted into the 'branch' that came out of Jesse, we are grafted into Yeshua (the tame Olive tree) by the Spirit.
