How to Observe Yom Kippur - Isaiah 58
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet [Yom Teruah], and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul [Yom Kippur], and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

How Yom Teruah Became Rosh Hashanah
by Nehemia Gordon
On
the 1st day of the Seventh Month (Tishrei) the Torah commands us to
observe the holy day of Yom Teruah which means “Day of Shouting”
(Leviticus 23:23-25; Numbers 29:1-6). Yom Teruah is a day of rest on
which work is forbidden.
One
of the unique things about Yom Teruah is that the Torah does not say
what the purpose of this holy day is. The Torah gives at least one
reason for all the other holy days and two reasons for some. The Feast
of Matzot (Unleavened Bread) commemorates the Exodus from Egypt, but it
is also a celebration of the beginning of the barley harvest (Exodus
23:15; Leviticus 23:4–14). The Feast of Shavuot (Weeks) is a celebration
of the wheat harvest (Exodus 23:16; 34:22). Yom Ha-Kippurim is a
national day of atonement as described in great detail in Leviticus 16.
Finally, the Feast of Sukkot (Booths) commemorates the wandering of the
Israelites in the desert and is also a celebration of the ingathering of
agricultural produce (Exodus 23:16). In contrast to all these Torah
festivals, Yom Teruah has no clear purpose other than that we are
commended to rest on this day.
See the rest here.
Yom Teruah will be September 11th or 12th, depending upon when the new moon is sighted.

It takes two wings to fly
Yeshua said the Father is seeking those that worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, John 4:23-24. Christians seem to get the Spirit part but not the Truth part. Yeshua is the Truth, but most do not understand what that means. Yeshua is the Word of Elohim - not just the so-called New Testament, but the "old" as well. In fact, you should rip the pages between the two out, because it is all Yeshua.
Yeshua said if you love me, keep my commandments. This means the ones in the beginning of the book as well as the ones at the end. Keep His righteousness; do what He says. Keep the Sabbath. This is the one commandment that the Father said not to forget, but it is the one most forgotten by the church today, Exodus 20:8-11. I'm not saying in a legal sense, although that is a good training ground for keeping the Torah in Spirit.
There are many in Christendom that say keeping the law is seeking your own righteousness. This couldn't be further from the truth. The Torah is Yehovah's Righteousness - not ours. Or did you write the Torah with all of the instructions? No, He did. The Torah is Yehovah's righteousness.
If you start keeping the Torah to the best of your understanding, Yeshua will reveal the Spirit of the Torah to you. Paul said the Torah was a school master (Galatians 3:24), but sadly no one has been schooled in it so they have no understanding of it or His merciful righteousness; a righteousness we take on when we seek to keep it.
That is not our righteousness, it is His.
This is for our sanctification AFTER we come to a knowledge of Him through repentance, so it is a commitment issue. Are we committed to Him? Do we really study His Torah with the mind to obey Him? Or do we just say, give me more of your Spirit? Saints, the battle is in our souls, not in the air. The enemy is in the air, but the attack is against the soul.
We must do all we can in our own soul to fight the enemy, working together with the other believers for each other, Galatians 6:2. We do that through obedience to His Word. This is a refining. Sure you have given up some sins after being saved, but there is still a refining to be done and this is done through sanctification, and sanctification is done through obedience to His Torah.
This is the Truth part of the equation. We need both Spirit and Truth.
Yeshua is revealed in His commandments; His heart is revealed to us through them. How do you know if your prayers are according to His will if you do not know His heart? This is a long process of getting to know our Savior through His Word. It's not going to happen over night and we will all make many mistakes along the way. I certainly have. We must Trust Him as we practice keeping all of His Torah, and pray for Him to guide us in His Way and to reveal His perfect will to us and for us.
As you practice this, you will quickly see how utterly dependent upon Him we really are; how inadequate we are in ourselves to do even the simplest things He asks us. Try keeping Passover; it is only by actually doing it that you will see your shortcomings in this one commandment. This forces us into an even deeper relationship with Him and gives us experiential understanding of many of David's prayers that we see in the Psalms, when he says how thirsty he is for His Spirit. Most people are dying of thirst and don't even know it.
Do you think you have received the Holy Spirit? Test that. See how strong you are in really keeping all of His commandments. I mean really keeping all of them from the beginning to the end of the Book. Of course not all of the commandments apply to each one of us individually. There are commandments for the Aaronic Priesthood that we are not to keep except in a spiritual sense. There are laws that apply to women only and laws that apply to men only. Nevertheless, it is by this striving that He teaches us the spirit of the Torah, and His will for us. It's hard and the enemy will fight you every step of the way; but you will certainly know what to pray for - what the next step in your sanctification is, and what your prayers for others are to be.
Oh Yeshua, Help us to hear and obey your Word!

Why I Don't Celebrate Easter
The name Easter actually comes from Ishtar / Easter who was worshiped
as the moon goddess, the goddess of spring and fertility, and the
Queen of Heaven. She is known by so many other names in other countries
and cultures that she is often referred to as the goddess of one
thousand names.
(John 8:44, II Corinthians 11:14, 1 Peter 5:8) Ishtar – the Babylonian goddess – is the one for whom Easter is named. Ishtar is but another name for Semiramis – the wife of Nimrod. This post-Flood festival was part of the false religion Mystery Babylon and was started by Nimrod and his wife Semiramis (also known as Ishtar).
They not only instituted the building of the Tower of Babel, they also established themselves as god and goddess to be worshiped by the people of Babylon. They are the co-founders of all the counterfeit religions that have ever existed.
Nimrod was worshiped as the Sun God. He was worshiped in numerous cultures and countries under a variety of names: Samas, Attis, Uti, Merodach/Marduk, Ninus, Bel/Baal, Moloch, Tammuz – the list is virtually endless. [He was also known as Dumuzi by the Sumerians and as RA by the Egyptians. [and Apollo by the Greeks]
Millions of people are unknowingly worshiping and praying to this pagan goddess today. What is her present-day name?
The Babylonians celebrated the day of Ishtar / Easter as the return of the goddess of Spring – the re-birth or reincarnation of Nature and the goddess of Nature. Babylonian legend says that each year a huge egg would fall from heaven and would land in the area around the Euphrates River.
In her yearly re-birth, Ishtar would break out of this egg and if any of those celebrating this occasion happened to find her egg, Ishtar would bestow a special blessing on that person. This is the origin of our modern-day tradition of Easter eggs and baskets and Easter egg hunts.
Other pagan rites that were connected with this celebration and which are part of our modern Easter tradition are Easter offerings to the Queen of Heaven (consisting of freshly cut flowers, hot buns decorated with crosses, and star-shaped cakes); new clothes to celebrate this festival (The pagan priests wore new clothes or robes and the Vestal Virgins wore new white dresses or robes and bonnets on their heads.); and sunrise services (to symbolically hasten the yearly arrival of Ishtar’s egg from heaven – the re-incarnation of the spring goddess).
Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas (!!!), and the next year they were sacrificed in the Easter’s Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar’s eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children.
By the way, this evening is the observance of Pesach, or Passover, if you go by the sighted moon calendar as I do. Tomorrow is the first day of Unleavened Bread.
Yeshua was raised the evening of the Seventh Day of the week (since He was crucified on a Wednesday, count three days and three nights), the following sunday was Yom HaBikkurim, or First Fruits. Yeshua was the first of the First Fruits, and as the High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek, He presented the First Fruits (Matt. 27:52-53, Rev. 4:4, 10; 5:8; 11:16; and 19:4) before the Throne of Yehovah on Yom HaBikkurim which always follows the weekly Sabbath after Pesach, which is a sunday.
