THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS

Part 2

I hope you have also read part one of “Three Days And Three Nights.” It is important to read these messages today.  You can actually copy, for they are long messages. But the truth I must proclaim.

You are the one who decides if you are going to serve Yehovah His way, or we do as the Pharisees of His time on this earth. They made up many extra rules on how to keep the Precious Eternal and Perfect Word He had given us to observe. And Yehoshua rebuked them.  He demands we keep His Feasts on His Days, and they are His Feasts, and not Jewish Feasts as the churches teach! Let this truth be completely clear today in your heart and mind today, for the Scriptures declares that the Sabbath and all the Feasts are His Feasts!  And He has given us appointed times to come to Him. He has never given us the sun day to worship Him. He has not given us Easter to worship Him. We follow His ways alone. This is the first month of His Calendar. And we know when the first month of the year begins because we watch the moon when it first appears, and the barley also must be ready to harvest in the next two weeks.  His Calendar is regulated according to the moon, not according to the sun! Please Shemot/Exodus 12.

 

Wayyiqra/Leviticus 23:2, 4, 37

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: “The Feasts of Yehovah, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My Feasts.”

4 “These are the Feasts of Yehovah, holy convocation which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.”

37 “These are the Feasts of Yehovah which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations.”

Begin to serve Him His way, and on His time, and not on the Catholic Church made up days. They offer worship to a pagan goddess “Easter” in the name of  Jesus which is also not the correct name of Yehoshua. With this said, let us now read the message.

We also see that Yehoshua said that when the Temple would be destroyed, He would raise it up the third day. The Temple is composed of three parts, the Outer Court, the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. Yahoshua was the living Temple, and the body is also composed of Body, Soul, and Spirit, three parts.

We are also called the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

 

Qorin’tiyim 1/1 Corinthians 3:16:

“Do you not know that you are the temple of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you?”

Kepha 1/1 Peter 2:5:

 “You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Elohim through Yahoshua HaMashiach.”

Mattithyahu/Matthew 27: 50-53

 “And Yahoshua cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.”
(Please read all of Wayyiqra/Leviticus 23, 25’ Devarim/Deuteronomy 16)

 

I had difficult time understanding these last few verses in the gospel of Mattithyahu/Mattitthew, and I am sure you have had trouble with it also. Let me explain in a few words, as I have learned from a specific leader that teaches on the Feasts of Yehovah
After the High Priest killed the last Passover lamb, in the evening He would go alone to mark the First Fruits Offering heaves. He would tie them, and after that, he stayed three days and three nights, on the temple mount in solitude. He was rehearsing the death of the Mashiach/Messiah and His resurrection, but did not know what he was doing.

On the third day after the Passover, which is during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the High Priest, as far as I understand, would go there with witnesses to cut up the sheaves he previously bound for the First Fruits Offering which he had to prepare to be offered the following morning which is still the THIRD DAY.
Remember that the day does not begin in the morning, but at the time the sun goes down, therefore the priest went at night but it was already the third day. This is a shadow picture of the time of the resurrection of the Messiah.

We read in Yochanan/John 20:11-18 Yehoshua’s encounter with Mary Magdalene. She wanted to cling to His feet, but verse 17 declares, “Yehoshua said to her, do not touch Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father, but go to My brethren and say to them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My Elohim and your Elohim.”
Yehoshua needed to go to His Father first to bring Him the First Fruits of the Resurrection. Those were the people in the graves that He marked at His death, (Mattithyahu/Matthew 27:53) but they did not rise until after His resurrection. Just as the sheaves were openly harvested, also those people, the first fruits from the dead, were also risen after Yehoshua’s resurrection. “They appeared to many,” the Word declares, and many saw them alive! We do not know who they were.  

Mattithyahu/Matthew 27:53:

 “And coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.”

He appeared on the third day to two of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Luqas/Luke 24:13-27 describes His encounter with them.

Yochanan/John 20:1:

“Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.”

Mary kept the Sabbath and could not break it by going out to the tomb on the Sabbath, the Blessed Holy Day of rest. The apostles kept the Sabbath even after His death, for this is a perpetual commandment. She had to wait until the Sabbath was over, and it could be that because the Sabbath ends at sundown, and the First Day or Sunday begins after sun down, she could not go because it was dark. She and everyone else needed to wait for the light.

According to the Scriptures Yehoshua could have died at 3:00 pm. Or He could have died also about five pm. One thing is absolutely sure that He was three days and three nights in the tomb therefore since He was placed in the tomb very early, He rose at the same time that He was buried. That was on the Sabbath and not on the Sunday. He had declared to be the Lord/Adon of the Sabbath (See Luqas/Luke 6:1-5), not of the sun day.
The church has hidden this truth in favor of the sun god worship. But we have the responsibility to find out the truth and get rid of all leaven, or false teaching and hypocrisy. You wonder why He also gave to us the Feast of Unleavened Bread?

Please read the following portion of this message.
I need to specify that the 15th day of the first month, which begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and it is a High Sabbath. No work can be done. The seventh day of the Feast is also High Sabbath, or a special Sabbath. The Feast of First Fruits is on the First Day of the week, has been reckoned to be the day after the weekly Sabbath, or the eight day after Passover.

So Yehoshua died on the Wednesday fulfilling the Prophecy of Yonah, three days and three nights in the grave, and the following day was a High Sabbath, which was Thursday on our calendar.

They rested on that Thursday which is better known as the High Sabbath, and the following day which is a regular weekday.  Friday, they prepared the spices to embalm Him. Then the next day was the weekly Sabbath and they also rested again.
Then early on the First Day of the week, or Sunday morning, they went to the tomb, but He had already Risen!  

Marqos/Mark 2:28: “Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord (Master) of the Sabbath.”
He did not die on Friday and rise on Sunday, or He could not have been not our Savior, but a false prophet. This was done by the Roman Catholic Church to wipe out everything “Jewish” that they could. They changed the Saturday to Sun day, and removed all the Feasts of Yehovah from their Calendar. If you need information on this fact, I do have it.
Three days and three nights, not a day or hour less than what He prophesied. There is much more to say on this subject, but I will stop here. He is our Savior and was raised from the dead, and if you have doubts of this historical fact, you will die in your sins.

The Feasts were given to all of us, not only to the Jews, as all the Scriptures. They received them first in order to teach us. The Feasts of Yehovah teach us the Gospel, in advance, before the Messiah came into this world. He prepared all of us so that we would get the true meaning of His Death and Resurrection when He would actually come and fulfill the Feasts and all the Scriptures. The Feasts are prophetic shadow pictures of things to come, and we are also told to rehearse them in their season and time every year.
And now I will speak about The Feast of Unleavened Bread which is of the duration of seven days and as mentioned above, begins on the 15th or the day after the Passover, and ends on the 21th, on which days the believers are commanded to rest from work and assemble to worship the Almighty.
Leviticus 23:5-8: “And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Yehovah; SEVEN days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do not customary work on it. But you shall offer and offering made by fire to Yehovah for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do not customary work on it.”
Leaven or yeast is a symbol of sin, hypocrisy and false doctrine. A week represents our  time on this planet, and a house represents us individually and the congregation. We must be cleansed from every trace of sin to participate of the Feast. The church and all assemblies need to be purged by Elohim from all sin, hypocrisy and false doctrine.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 16:6-12:

 “Then Yahoshua said to them, ‘Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.” But Yahoshua being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?” Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many baskets you took up? How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?-but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

1 Corinthians 5:6-8: “Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Messiah our Passover was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

Luqas/Luke 12:1:

“…Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”
Anyone who acts religious but does not keep His Commandments is a hypocrite. And anyone who teaches error is giving you spiritually bread with leaven. Leaven corrupts.

Is say: Beware of the false theachings in the church.

‘Qorin’tiyim 2/2 Corinthians 5:21:

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of Elohim in Him.”

Ivrim/Hebrews 4:15

 “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

Yochanan/John 1:29:

“Behold the Lamb of Elohim, who takes the sin of the world!”

Kepha 1/1 Peter 1:18-19:

”Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb without blemish and  without spot.”

He was and is always sinless, for He is our Savior. If He was not born of the Holy Spirit, He could have been our Savior. But this is another message.
Yahoshua fulfilled the Spring Feasts, which are: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of First Fruits, and later on Pentecost. This is the Gospel, the Good News, and it is available to all who believe. We are called by the Father  Yehovah to keep the Feasts, and so we must do. Yehoshua is the firstborn from the dead.

Qolasim/Colossians 1:15

“He is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn over all creation.”  
“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” 

 

Just always remember if you celebrate Easter you are disobeying your Creator and denying His Son. And without Him you cannot be saved. For He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

We will also rise from the dead. We are not just dirt, nor simple matter that will return to the earth. We have a soul and a spirit that was given to us by Yehovah the Creator of this Universe, via Adam, the first created man. Today, you can have eternal life with our Savior, if you embrace His Truth. Call upon Him to save you. Surrender all your problems to Him. Believe in Him the Master and Savior of your life, and see what He will do in your life. His love and peace will replace everything that now is causing you pain and sorrow.
 

Shalom,

“Ye-varekhekha Yehovah  ve-yishmerekha

Ya’er Yehovah panav ‘eleykha vichunnekha

Yisa Yehovah panav ‘eleykha ve yasem lekha shalom.” 

Bemidbar 6:24-26

“Yehovah bless you and keep you;

Yehovah make His Face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;

Yehovah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”

“So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

Bemidbar (Numbers)  6:24-26-27

His Name is very important, and we cannot substitute His Most Holy Righteous and Powerful Name. Let us call upon His Name and be saved!
