9.30.25 ~ It's Time

Good morning!

Many are familiar with the Hebraic concept, "It must be 'feast season', look how the enemy is attacking! Whether it's the appointed time/moed of shabbat (Lev. 23:3), any of the 7 prophetic appointed times/moedim on God's calendar (Lev. 23:4-44), the appointed time/moed of a child's birth (Gen. 17:21; 18:14; 21:2; etc), the appointed time/moedim of a plague (Ex. 9:5), the appointed time/moedim of bird migration (Jer. 8:7), an appointed time/moedim of vision (Hab. 2:3), or the appointed time/moedim of the last days (Dan. 8:19) or in the case of the King of Ai, it was an appointed time of battle against Joshua and God's people (Josh 8:14). There always seems to be an appointed time of decision...which way will I go at that time/moed? 

 The question that plagues all of our minds, with every moedim of our lives is: "who's responsible for these appointed times/moedim? Is it a time set by the Lord? Is it an individual choice? or is it just a time of battles? Enquiring minds want to know.

I don't have your answer. But your answer will depend on how you see life. If you see the appointed times/moedim of life as just random happenings then life will be nothing more than moving from one crisis to another; without purpose. If you see every event as a divine orchestration from above, you'll know you're in the right place at the right time to experience an appointed time/moedim for a deeper, richer encounter with Him.

During this fall feast season (not trick or trunk at halloween), we have the opportunity to draw nearer to him than ever before. By recognizing/hakernah Who controls every appointed time/moedim, as we saw in our study yesterday, every moedim is filled with joy and anticipation for the greatest outcome (Rom. 8:28,29).

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are called according to His purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Rom. 8:28, 29)

May every appointed time/moedim be an appointed time of opportunity to be conformed to the image of His dear Son.

Don't miss them :-)

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Heb. 10:24,25)

Chag Sameach!
Shalom,
Alan

4.10.25

Good morning! The offerings/korbanot were indeed a source of joy and favor every time they were brought to the Temple or Tabernacle. For instance, when the Temple was being dedicated under Solomon's kingship, they had this incredible feast. The nation feasted on these thanksgiving and peace offerings; 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats (2 Chron. 7:5; 1 King. 8:63) and the glory of the Lord, as with the Tabernacle in Exodus 40, filled the Temple (2 Chron. 7:2). There was great joy in the presence of the Lord! And we have this covenantal intimacy because the offerings/korbanot expressed love, joy, loyalty and gratitude.  Let me speak very briefly to one common objection, particularly in a modern sense. Yeah, OK, fine, but still weird! OK, Solomon's dedication doesn't seem consistent with blood and guts, splashing blood, limbs cut off and burning on an altar to appease an angry god for the sinful disobedience of mankind; it is so barbaric. It's disgusting. How could G...

9.24.25 ~ 10 Days of Too Wonderful

Good morning! A couple of weeks ago I had share with you some thoughts about four concepts in scripture that are too wonderful. With Yom Teruah/shouting-trumpets, Having finished we found ourselves in what I called the 10 days of awe. 10 days of deep introspection, like the days of unleavened bread, research our lives for any areas that are left undone so that when the sealing takes place at Yom Kippur we can launch into the feast of tabernacles and beyond pure and white. From Passover toShavuot, There is a wonderful focuson the book of Ruth. In times past, we haveexamined the importance of the faith-filled, grafted-in Gentile who would restore the heart of the ‘bitter’ Jewish woman Naomi and be the means of redemption through the birth of Obed. We followed that up by walking with the ‘King in the field’ during the Sixth month on God‘s prophetic calendarand we prepared our hearts for Yom Teruah and the sign of Revelation 12. Last night, I had the opportunity to celebrate with beautiful...

6.8.25 ~ Are You in the Know?

Good morning! Today, we will leave dear people here in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, after 8 great days of study, prayer, and health related instructions :-)! On this 8th day of counting towards the first fruit of the wine, we continue our journey on how to intimately abide in the True Vine (Jn. 15:1-8). This morning I want to share with you a very familiar verse in Hosea 4:6 to continue our theme. Over the years I have heard the first half of this verse quoted, but 99% of the time I have never heard the second half of the verse quoted. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge/da'at (1st part). Because you have rejected/maas knowledge/da'at, I also will reject/maas you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law/torah of your God, I will also forget you." (Hos. 4:6) How often have you heard this verse quoted in a plea for renewed diligence toward the things of God?  The quotation is usually followed by an enumeration of our lack of Bible study, chu...
