SPRING & FALL MOEDS

SPECIAL DIVINE APPOINTMENT TIMES WITH GOD!

ADAM'S 7000 YEAR CALENDAR!

The Biblical Birth of Yahshua

According to scholars trained in Hebrew Collage Bible studies, many within the Messianic community hold a specific understanding of the Messiah's birth timing based on careful calculation of the Hebrew calendar.

The Timing of Conception and Birth

These scholars propose that Miriam (Mary) conceived during the month of Tevet, which corresponds to December in the Gregorian calendar. Following a standard nine-month gestation period, this would place the birth of Yahshua the Messiah on the evening of Tishri 11, 3 B.C.

Significance of Tishri

Tishri holds particular importance as it is the first day of the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar as established in Scripture. This timing carries prophetic and symbolic weight within the biblical and the Hebrew festival calendar.

The Shepherds' Witness

On that evening in Tishri, the new moon became visible in the western sky shortly after sunset—a significant astronomical marker in Hebrew timekeeping. It was during this sacred moment that the shepherds witnessed the heavenly light and received the angelic announcement of the Messiah King's birth, as recorded in the Gospel accounts.

This understanding seeks to anchor the birth of Yahshua within the framework of Hebrew Scripture, calendar, and prophetic fulfillment, rather than the later Roman calendar traditions.

A Proposal for Biblical Celebration

Based on this chronology, some scholars propose a reorientation of how believers commemorate these sacred events:

Celebrating the Conception During Hanukkah

Rather than observing December 25th as the birth date, we might instead celebrate Miriam's conception of the Messiah during the eight days of Hanukkah in the month of Tevet (December). This celibration is called the Magnificat is about Miriam (Mary) conception. This would align the miraculous conception with the Festival of Lights—a fitting symbolic connection between the miracle of divine conception being "the light of the world coming into the world" and the miracle of the Temple's rededication. Isn't it interesting that both celibration have to do with "Divine Miraculous Light!" 

Celebrating the Birth During Tishri

The actual birth of Messiah Yahshua would then be celebrated in the month of Tishri (September/October), aligning with the Hebrew calendar of celibration and the season when the shepherds would have been in the fields. This timing also coincides with the Fall feasts, which carry deep messianic significance in Hebrew thought.

This approach honors the Hebrew context of the Messiah's coming while maintaining celebration of both the miraculous conception and the blessed birth—each in their biblically appropriate season.

The Timing of the Moedim: Spring and Fall Festivals

The seven moedim are divided into two seasons:

Spring Moedim

1. Passover (Pesach) – A celebration of redemption.

2. Feast of Unleavened Bread (Hag HaMatzot) – A call to holiness, removing sin.

3. First Fruits (Yom Habikkurim) – Offering the first of the harvest.

4. Festival of Weeks (Shavuot, also known as Pentecost) – Marking the giving of the Law and covenant relationship.

Fall Moedim

1. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah, or Rosh Hashanah) – A day of spiritual awakening and repentance.

2. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) – A solemn day of reconciliation with God.

3. Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) – A celebration of God’s provision and presence.

Messianic Fulfillment of the Moedim

The moedim not only commemorate Israel’s history but also point to the Messiah, Yahshua (Jesus), and the story of salvation.

Spring Moedim Fulfilled in Yahshua

1. Passover reflects the redemption brought by Yahshua’s sacrificial death. As the Lamb of God, He fulfilled Exodus 12:5-6, and John 1:29 declares, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

2. Unleavened Bread symbolizes the removal of sin, fulfilled through His sinless life and death. As 1 Corinthians 5:7 states, “Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us.”

3. First Fruits points to Yahshua’s resurrection as the “firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Corinthians 15:20).

4. Pentecost is fulfilled in the giving of the Holy Spirit, as promised in Acts 2. This corresponds to the giving of the Law at Sinai and the sealing of a covenant relationship. Ephesians 1:13 explains, “In him you also… were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.”

The Fall Moedim and Yahshua’s Return

While the Spring festivals have been fulfilled, the Fall moedim point to Yahshua’s second coming. They anticipate the completion of God’s redemptive plan:

• The Feast of Trumpets will herald His return, as foretold in 1 Thessalonians 4:16: “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God’s trumpet.”

• The Day of Atonement will bring final reconciliation for all who believe, fulfilling Zechariah 12:10: “They will look to me whom they have pierced.”

• The Feast of Tabernacles foreshadows the eternal dwelling of God with His people, as described in Revelation 21:3: “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them.”

The Significance of the Moedim Today

For Christians/Messianics, the moedim are not just traditions but divine appointments. They are reminders of God’s promises and times to reflect on His holiness. For all who follow Yahshua (Jesus), they unveil the intricate plan of salvation and point to His ultimate return.

The moedim are not only part of Israel’s calendar—they belong to God’s eternal timeline. As Colossians 2:16-17 reminds us: “Therefore don’t let anyone judge you in eating, drinking, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah’s.”

The moedim are a testament to the divine rhythm of God’s plan, revealing His intentionality, His perfect timing, and the steadfastness of His eternal promises. They call us to pause, reflect, and align our lives with His greater story of redemption—a story that weaves together the past, present, and future in a tapestry of hope and fulfillment. As we look to these appointed times, we are reminded that every moment in God’s calendar is not only sacred but also a signpost of His unchanging love and faithfulness.

Knowning Him By His Name & Titles

THE NAMES OF GOD - THEIR IMPORTANCE - THEIR USE IN PRAYER...

 

In biblical times, a name did more than identify a person — it revealed character and attributes. Scripture uses many names for God, each one highlighting a facet of His nature or a promise to His people. The first name God uses for Himself in Scripture appears in Genesis 17:1, when He tells Abram, “I AM God Almighty” (El Shaddai). As we study these names—Yahweh, Elohim, El Shaddai, Adonai and others—we gain clearer, richer insight into who God is. Learning His names deepens our knowledge of Him, strengthens our trust in His promises, and transforms the way we relate to Him in worship, prayer, and daily life.

THE HEBREW NAMES OF GOD

Seeing something from a fresh perspective draws us in. Unfamiliar words make us pause—slowing us down instead of letting us skim past. The Hebrew names of God open new ways to know Him: familiar ones like Abba or El Shaddai and others you may not have met, such as Elohenu Olam. Read through these 81 names. When one captures your attention, read its translation and then the Scripture it points to in context. Ask God what He wants to reveal about Himself through that name and journal what you sense on your heart. May this practice deepen your intimacy with God.
