THE EZEKIEL 24 FAST
For those of you who are following the calendars that are posted on the http://www.repairingthebreach.info/ site, you may have noticed that there is a scheduled fast for the 10th day of this 10th
month that we are in.
This is only a couple of days away so I am posting this video to discuss
why our Elohiym is calling for this fast at this time.
In Zechariah 8 we read;
Zech 8:19
19 Thus saith YEHWEH of hosts; The fast of the
fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, AND THE FAST OF THE TENTH
are to be good appointed times to the house of Judah for joy and gladness; therefore love truth and peace.
I have not been led to study these fasts or this verse until now.
My Father has had me
focused elsewhere and there is so much that He is restoring and teaching me that He has not had these fasts be my focus yet.
However now, He is showing great significance to the fast of the 10th month.
The
only fast that I have found that is commanded elsewhere in the scriptures as an appointed time is the Day of Atonement.
This would be the fast of the 7th month, although Judaism also has a fast in their traditions on the 3rd
day of this month as well to commemorate the murder of one of the governors of Judah.
I found
that their tradition upholds that the 4th month fast is on the 17th day of the month to commemorate
the tearing down of the wall at Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar and the cessation of the temple worship during the siege of Titus.
The 9th day of the 5th month is the day that Judaism sets aside to fast for remembering the
tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people.
And some of them set aside the 1st
day of the 5th month to be a fast for a time of bereavement for Aaron the high priest.
They
have other fast days in their tradition as well and these traditions are not the subject of this video.
Today I am going to focus on the fast of the 10th month.
The fast of the 10th
month was to commemorate the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon.
I will show you how this ties in with
where we are at in time;
Ezekiel 24:1-2
24:1 In
the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, YEHWEH's word was made to
be to me, saying,
2 Son of Adam, record you the
name (the description) of the day, the self-same day that the king of Babylon set himself against
Jerusalem this same day.
He goes on to record the parable for these last days
that results in His end-time signal being given to Zerubbabel.
He does not use the name Zerubbabel
in this parable but He describes him as one who would escape or be delivered up out of the captivity.
And
the name Zerubbabel means one that would flow out of the captivity.
If you have been listening
to these videos, you know that I have come forth with the 5 point sign that is described in this parable.
I have spoken about it in several of these videos so I am not going to go into it in detail today.
I just gave a summary of it again yesterday.
The thing that I want to focus onto today
is the fast that our Elohiym is calling for on this day.
YEHWEH said that when He sends this signal
out, you can know that it is from Him.
This is a prominse.
But since
this sign has been brought forth, almost no one has hearkened to it.
This is why it is going to
take great calamity to prick people's ears so that they will hear.
Our Elohiym has called for
a fast this day to loosen the bands of wickedness.
This fast will follow the guidelines of the
fast on the last Day of Atonement.
This means that we are to begin the fast the night before at
sundown by stopping the intake of food and water for a 24 hour period of time.
The petition that
He is asking us to bring before Him is the same petition that was set forth in this year's Day of Atonement.
It is described in Isaiah 58.
I will speak to you what was recorded in the 7th
month High Days video part 2 on this subject;
At the end of Isaiah 57, Elohiym says that there
is no peace for the wicked or there is no shalom for the wicked.
I have spoken on this in other
videos and how it ties into these last days in with other prophesies about there being no peace.
Isaiah
goes on in chapter 58 to record YEHWEH saying;
Isa 58:1-2
58:1 Cry aloud, spare not (or do not refrain yourself), lift up your voice
like a trumpet, and stand boldly or announce to the people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Seek me day by day, and desire to know my path, and be a nation that does righteousness,
and do not forsake the judgments of our Elohiym: Inquire of my judgments of right; and desire to approach our Elohiym.
These verses have always applied but I will show you as I keep reading that these verses are a prophesy that is referring
to returning to Him in the last days.
He is referring to right now.
He
is saying to return to Him.
This was always to be the case as far as seeking Him, but right now
these verses are being fulfilled right before our eyes.
Everything has led up to this time that
we are in now.
He continues;
Isa 58:3-4
3
Why have I not seen your fasting and the affliction of your life? You have no knowledge. Behold,
in the day of your fast you come forth for your all of your desires, and harass the workmen.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, AND YOU
DO NOT FAST TO STRIKE THE FIST OF INIQUITY SO THAT YOUR VOICE WOULD HAVE BEEN HEARD ON HIGH.
This is so important to understand what He is saying.
He is telling us that we have fasted
for the wrong reasons and He has not heard.
He says that we have fasted for the problems that
are in our lives or for our will to be done with others but we have not fasted for evil to be purged out.
And He has not heard our affliction.
Isa 58:5-6
5 THIS IS TO BE A FAST THAT I HAVE CHOSEN; a day for man to afflict his
soul. Bow down your heads in thorns in sackcloth and ashes. And spread the cry to fast this day as a desire to YEHWEH.
6 IS NOT THIS THE FAST THAT I HAVE CHOSEN? To lose
the bands of iniquity, to untie the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free and to tear off every yoke.
This is what we need to be fasting for.
This day of desiring this is being commanded
for this day just as it has always been, but this day (referring to this past Day of Atonement) it is extremely significant
because this set apart day was to point to the day that we are in because it has led up to where we are at in time.
And I will add today that this 10th day of His 10th month is a continuance of Him wanting this
to be our cry.
He is still choosing for this to be our fast.
Isa 58:7-8
7 You have not divided your bread to the hungry and you mistreat the lowly that come
to your house because you hide your eyes when you see the naked and you do not cover his flesh.
8 Now break open as the morning light, and hurry to be made whole: AND
BRING FORTH RIGHTEOUSNESS AS HE GATHERS THE SPLENDOR OF YEHWEH.
What a time
that we live in.
These verses are tying in with what He has been giving about breaking our pitchers
and filling our lamps with His oil.
His oil in our lamps is His 7 spirits that light His path
that leads to His righteousness.
We must let His righteousness spring forth as a light to this
dark world.
Also the part about crying aloud and sparing not or not refraining ourselves is right
down the line with all of these prophesies coming together including the offering of righteousness that He has called for.
Isa 58:9-10
9 Then you will call out, and YEHWEH will listen
and if you will cry out to be delivered, He will say, behold, and I will take away the yoke from your midst, and I will send
away the speaking of iniquity with my finger.
10 And
the hungry soul will obtain, and the afflicted soul will be satisfied and light will rise up in the darkness, and the concealed
will be in the noon day light.
This is powerful what He is revealing.
We must break forth His righteousness in this dark world to usher in His Son returning and to break down the towers
of darkness.
These verses tie the cry that He wants us to make together with what is involved
in returning to Him.
Who has despised the day of small things, even if we are just a few in number,
His light will sprout forth and overcome the darkness.
Not by might nor by power but by His sprit
saith YEHWEH Elohiym.
But He wants us helping Him build His family.
He
wants us sounding the alarm.
He is crying out for us to cry aloud and spare not and join in with
Him in ushering in the light.
The following verses prove what I am saying about these verses applying
to the end times;
Isa 58:11-12
11 And
YEHWEH will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in the dry places, and He will deliver your body: and you will be
like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
12
And from you He will build the vanished places that were made desolate: and He will rise up
the foundation of many generations; and you will be called THE REPAIRER OF THE BREACH, THE
RESTORER OF PATHS TO DWELL IN.
This time that we are in is about Him restoring
things through a people who will turn to Him and join in with Him in what He is restoring.
He
wants us all involved in the repairing of the breach that man under satan's guidance has desolated.
The
next verse in Isaiah talks about returning to His Sabbaths;
Isa 58:13-14
13
If you will turn your feet to the Sabbath, and
do my desire on my set apart day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the sanctified of YEHWEH,
and glorify it; and glorify His path, and attain His desire by speaking His words:
He
said that if you do these things, then;
14 Then you will delight
upon YEHWEH; and you will ride upon the high places of the earth and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:
BECAUSE THE MOUTH OF YEHWEH HAS SPOKEN IT.
Wow,
this sounds like an awesome time of healing.
But go back and read, receiving His deliverance is
conditional.
And His Sabbaths are a big part of turning to Him and this includes His 7th
year annual Sabbath that we are in now.
The world just celebrated the end of a year on their pagan
calendar but there are still a couple of months left in our Elohiym's calendar.
So few hearkened
to His 7th year Sabbath when they heard about it and it did not go out to the world.
This
is all part of the witness against man.
These verses are definitely referring to the fast that
YEHWEH wants us to fast for and even though it has been what He has always wanted us to fast for; they are specifically pointing
to the last days.
There is no doubt that these verses applied to this past Day of Atonement but
the same cry is ongoing today.
And we need to cry out for His wrath to come so that people will
have their ears pricked into hearing so that His good news will go out to the whole world.
There
is no other way for it to go out because most people will refuse to hear without it.
You can go
to the calendars on the http://www.repairingthebreach.info/ website to find out what day on man's calendar this fast is in your area.
For
the U.S. it would be on Wednesday which means it would start on Tuesday night for those in the U.S.
We
have to obey Him from where we are at until His rotations of His clock are restored.
This is the
same thing that Yehshua told us to pray for.
He told us to pray that His Father's will would be
done on earth as it is in heaven.
This means that we must pray for all of those who refuse His
will to be purged out.
There is no other way for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We must turn to Him so that our cry is heard, even if it is just a handful of us that are crying out.
We must cry out that He will do whatever He has to do in order for the world to hear His Ezekiel 24 signal so that
some will hearken to His call to return to Him.
We must cry for the waves of calamity to carry
it to the world so that they can either repent or be purged out.
The witness against man is most
will not hearken to Him any other way.
This is the fast that He has called for us to offer up
to Him.
It is the same fast that He has always wanted us to offer up to Him but now it is the
time for it to be fulfilled.
