THEY
ROSE UP TO PLAY
Today is either the last day of the Feast of Temporary Dwellings
or it is the High Sabbath that follows this feast depending on where you live on the earth.
This
High Sabbath is referred to as the eighth day and it is symbolic of the Great White Throne of Judgment that will follow the
last 1,000 years of our Creator’s 7,000 years of His plan to build His family.
This
day is symbolic of the time when all who have lived for this 7,000 years that were not part of the first fruits or not of
those who had their hearts circumcised during the 1,000 years will either choose to have their hearts circumcised when they
are resurrected or they will be burnt up in the lake of fire.
This is why all males were
to be circumcised on the 8th day to point to this time as well.
The 7th and last day of
this feast is symbolic of the coming 1,000 year period of time when Yehshua and the first fruits will rule here on earth and
satan and his crew will be bound.
Our Creator’s feasts are incredible and they outline
His plan to build His family.
But instead of hearkening to His instructions, what have most
done?
Most have done exactly what the children of Israel did when Moses was up on the mount;
they have risen up and played the harlot.
Ex 32:6
6 And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings and the
people sat down to eat and drink, AND THEY ROSE UP TO PLAY.
There is nothing wrong with eating and drinking so what was their problem?
Some
want to say that they rose up to party and they associate drink with drunkenness.
This is
not what this verse is talking about.
I’m not even sure how they would have had wine
or strong drink at that time.
Deuteronomy 29:6 says that they did not have bread nor wine
nor strong drink for the 40 years that they were in the wilderness but I guess technically the 40 year count might not have
started yet.
I’m not sure.
In any case, this is
not what this verse is talking about.
Moses had given them some of the commandments and
then He went to the mountain and before the 40 days that he was up there had expired, they had already
chosen to go back to eating and drinking their lies.
The eating and drinking is symbolic
of what they were choosing to allow into their minds.
Our Creator’s commanded three
feasts accompany the harvests for a reason.
He is telling us that it is all about what we
allow into our minds.
He wants us rejoicing in the truth that sets us free and nothing else.
Everything else is poison.
This is why Yehshua said that
unless you eat of my flesh and drink of my blood you will not enter into eternal life.
He
became the logos of Elohiym in the flesh.
He became the unleavened bread of life.
We must become as He became and we become what we eat and drink.
Instead of abiding
in and rejoicing in what was given to them from their Creator, they rose up to play.
The
Hebrew word that is translated as “to play” means to laugh at or to sport with or to mock in a scorning way.
So what were they mocking or laughing at?
Two verses later
define what was happening.
They made a molten calf and worshipped it and said that this
will be our Elohiym.
The golden calf is symbolic of other Elohiyms or other versions of
Him.
They wanted to go back to what they were worshipping in Egypt.
They wanted to return to their vomit which was their false worship.
This is what
the scattered nations of Israel have continued to do, except the small flock that believed Him and worshipped Him in truth.
They have played the harlot and mocked His righteousness, no different than the children of
Israel did that day.
Ex 32:25
25 And
when Moses saw that the people were UNCOVERED; (because
Aaron UNCOVERED their scornful whisperings that had risen up)
Aaron told them to uncover their heads because of their shameful heart’s desires.
The King James translated this word into naked and it does not mean naked.
It is no coincidence that our Creator is commanding those who will return to Him to cover their heads at this time
as a symbol of returning to His covering.
People want to think that it was a drunken debauchery
going on back then and this is not what was happening.
They turned from the truth that was
delivered to them and returned to the bread and the drink of pagan men.
They chose to scoff
at the truth that was given to them.
How is this any different from what the false religion
of Christianity has done?
The scripture refers to you who are in Christianity as whores
for what you have done by turning from His instructions and making and worshipping false images of Him.
It says that you are drunk with fornication because you have fornicated with your Creator and went to whoring after
other images of Him.
You have risen up and played the harlot.
Will
you return to His Torah or do you want to continue to scoff at it or mock it?
You are staring
down the gun barrel of His wrath, what will you choose?
If you continue to scoff at His
righteousness, you are about ready to find out that you are not covered by Him and that you are not covered by His Son’s
blood.
It is not just this feast of temporary dwellings that was given to us to remind us
that we are just temporary dwellings; He also created us mortal to be a constant reminder.
Death itself was to be a reminder of our temporal status.
The same is true with
why we have diseases and natural disasters, and such.
This whole life in the flesh that
we experience was designed to point us to turn to Him to be fed by Him to have life.
People
ask how Israel could have been that stiff-necked.
He showed them His splendor and His might
first hand, yet they went back to worshipping who they wanted Him to be so quickly.
I ask
the same thing of all of you who lived off of His blessing promises through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
How could you have lived in such abundance and not given your life over to Him to be made in His image?
Why have you scoffed at His righteousness instead of embracing it and making His way a way of life to be delighted
in?
Why have you carried around His instructions in your bibles yet ignored them?
Why should He give rebellious children like you eternal life?
In these days of
this feast this year He has shown us that His feasts have been part of His testing system and His refinement process for man-kind,
but most have rejected going to His school, less more putting forth any effort whatsoever to pass the test.
His people have perished because of a lack of knowledge because they did not want it.
Passing
the test includes us delighting in His will and desiring to be found in His favor.
How can
you delight in that which you do not know?
Most have cared less what His will even is so
they certainly have not delighted in it.
Instead, they have laughed at His righteousness
or they turned their faces from it altogether.
His will is that we obey Him so that we can
become as He is.
How could this not be a delight to learn to think as He thinks?
Instead, most have delighted in evil and could care less about His righteousness.
Worshipping
a false image of Him is evil; it is no different than worshipping a golden calf.
It is playing
the harlot.
He is our Creator and making His character into a false unrighteous character
is evil.
This temporary life here in the flesh is not a game, it is real and it is given
to us for a purpose.
He wants our delight to be in Him and delighting in loving one another
as He loves.
His love is self-less to all and His Torah teaches us His love.
Man’s love is selective and centered around what they can get out of it except for maybe those closest to them
to some degree.
It is a one sided love that is based on receiving instead of on giving.
Our Creator’s path teaches us to receive freely and to give freely, but the selfishness
of man-kind could not handle trusting in Him to realize His giving at this level.
And most
certainly did not want to obey Him in order to make it all happen anyway.
His feasts were
to teach us to bring all who would come to Him to feast before Him, not only our families but also the strangers and our employees
and whosoever would come and rejoice in His blessings.
He wanted us giving freely to the
poor and to the needy and teaching them to rejoice in Him as well.
This is why Yehshua said
to teach all nations to obey His instructions in what is called the great commission.
If
YEHWEH’s truth had been lived by Israel instead of just by a small flock, it would have flourished in the world and
all nations would have been blessed through the seed of Abraham indeed.
But the truth was
scorned and those who fought to walk in it were cast out from you.
If you had believed your
Creator’s words, there are many, many warnings about departing from His Torah with His Statutes, commandments and judgments.
But you did not believe His warnings.
Why wouldn’t
you believe Him?
Do you think that He lied when He said that His instructions are forever
meaning as long as man is here in the flesh?
Yehshua said that the Torah would remain until
heaven and earth pass away.
Why wouldn’t you believe Him either?
But our Creator has good news for you, you can return to Him and He will forgive you.
But
you are going to have to stop playing the harlot and start believing His word and you are going to have to desire His righteousness.
He set before us blessings and cursings but He has held back on most of His cursings until
now.
Yet even though He held them back, He still let the reminder of them that we are temporary
dwellings always be with us to warn us and to draw us to return to Him.
Most just chose
to believe in lies so that they could believe that they have eternal life apart from His instructions.
This shows the stiff-necked arrogance of those who chose to believe this way.
You
have made Him and His Son to be liars in your hearts by believing that what they said does not apply to you and ignoring them.
You have chosen to believe liars like Saul of Tarsus and the abominations that came out of
the mother whore with no shame and no fear of your Creator.
And you became drunk off of
your fornication and you rejoiced in lies.
You have lifted up your hands and praised and
worshipped your idolatry.
You have delighted in the lies and blasphemed the truth that would
have given you true joy by circumcising the foreskins of your rebellious hearts.
He knows
that nearly every one of you will not hearken to His prophet this day just as you have not hearkened to those whom He has
been sent before me, including His only begotten Son.
You have not hearkened to any of His
servants that He has sent and this has not changed.
For this reason, His wrath is at the
door.
The question is, how much will it take of His wrath to get even a small remnant of
you to hearken to His word and to return to Him?
We are about ready to find out.
For those of you who are returning to Him and are delighting in His truth and seeking His favor, He will deliver
you and His wings will cover you and protect you.
I hope that all of you who are in this
small group have enjoyed this last feast of its kind before Yehshua returns.
It is going
to be an incredible feast to go up to each year in the age to come when the whole world is delighting in His righteousness.
What a day of rejoicing these days will be.
For those of
you whom this day finds you celebrating His High Sabbath that represents His Great White Throne in truth; may His face shine
upon you as you delight in preparing yourself for the judgment and for the 1,000 year reign.
And may the same apply to those of you in other parts of the globe as you prepare to be found in His favor on this
7th and last day of the feast.
Praise and glory be to His name forever and ever and to His
Son who paved the way to return to Him!
Revelation 22:14 says;
Blessed are those who are found bathing in His commandments because they will have
right to the tree of life and enter into the gates of the city.
For those of you who want to continue to rise up before your Creator’s face and play the harlot before
Him, well, you don’t have much longer to wait to find that He has sent yet another prophet to warn you.
And that man’s time of self-rule has passed.
You will weep to see those who
love Him delivered and those who would not hearken to Him consumed.
