• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning family, God bless you. Welcome back
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the Morning DeVos your bro Sam Lopez aka DJ
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Sam Rock, and you're watching or listening to the Morning
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Devo Mondays through Fridays about thirty a m. Easter Standard time.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: But on Fridays we try to switch gears right, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we call it authentic imitationlogy. This is actually episode one
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: hundred and four, right before the New Year, from the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: time of this recording, or it is the last one
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: before the New year. So Happy New Year. That's the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: name of today's message or today's devotion unto the Lord. Amen.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: As we get together, we do this thing right, Authentic Imitationology,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Episode one O four. I wrote this the Biblical New
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Year because I know people want to know what's a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: biblical calendar? What's the Biblical New Year? Because I know
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: we use a different calendar, right, We use a Gregorian calendar.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And God wasn't using a greg Glorian calendar for his people, amen,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: He was using a Lunar calendar for his people. But
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: in anyhow, Amen, we have the facts in the Bible
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of Biblical new year things along those lines, Amen, So
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we don't have to make nothing up. When it comes
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: onto the biblical calendar. So the Biblical new year is
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: associated with the Hebrew calendar, which differs from today's Gregorian calendar. Okay,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: very simple, Amen. So we're gonna get a little historical
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: through the scriptures today on the morning Devo. Just in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: case you wondered, Amen, when we say happy New Year
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: here in America, Amen, is a difference when the Bibles
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: calls it a new year or a festival or celebration. Amen.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So that's the case you wondered. We were not on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the same calendar of God's people. We are God's children
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: through Christ Jesus when we're saving and born again. Amen.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So it's o kay for Christians as Christ followers to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: understand or even celebrate if you want, the festivals that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we're mentioned in the scriptures. But we're not mandated too. Amen.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of my brothers and sisters,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: some brothers, sisters Christs don't agree with that. But they
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: have yet to show me scriptures where we're mandated to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: celebrate the festivals. We're going to be an Exodus chapter
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: number twelve, verses one to fourteen and Leviticus chapter twenty three,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: verses twenty three to thirty two. We're calling this one
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: happy new year, Amen, according to the Biblical calendar. So
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayid requests,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: please don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: That's what we're here for. That's how we communicate. Amen.

• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hit two scriptures. It's a lot of reading, Amen, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I think it will be worth a while just to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: peak your interests or satisfy the questions that you might
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have had about when we say Happy New Year at
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: twelve o'clock December thirty first, then it turns into January first,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: does that really mean that it's a new year for
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: God's people or for in God's calendar or God's lunar schedule. Amen.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Just in case you ever wonder, we're going to talk
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: about it today. So, Father God, I thank you, Lo God,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that we are able to even talk about a new

  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Lord God for what you're doing,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. I asked that you will continue to engage us,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: continue to really give us this revelation of who you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: are more and more every time we devote our time
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to you. I pray that over every single person on
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the other side of the screen and on the other

  Speaker 1: your word to their hearts, into their minds, and this
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: will be a time of transformation, and that we would

  Speaker 1: know that you are alive and that you are the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: only real, true, holy, loving, righteous God that's speaking to

• 7:17
  Speaker 1: buzzing in your ear. I got that right now. I

  Speaker 1: right now, staying or even worry about it. Right, don't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: worry about anything about it, says Right. God's word says,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: don't worry about anything, and make your request known unto
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the Lord and the God who hears responds. Amen. If
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you are serving a God that does not respond, Amen,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you want to you should question that deity of that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: God that you're serving. Amen. Over here, we serve a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: God who responds according to his word, his purpose, his plan, Amen,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: his people, his kingdom. Right. We have the fire of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: God living inside of us by way of holy spirits,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: so we know that he responds to us. Amen, as
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: children of the Holy, Living and Loving God. Right, So
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: go for it today before the clock strikes midnight on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: December thirty. First, I just want to tell you happy
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: New Year. And for those who celebrate or celebrated Christmas, Amen,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas belated right, And like I said, don't let
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: anyone judge you for your celebrations. Amen. If you want
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus, you want
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the resurrected Jesus, you want to celebrate the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: new year according to the biblical calendar, you can. You
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: want to celebrate festivals, you can. Only thing I suggest
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you don't do is go back to the old Covenant
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: rituals and sacrifice sacrificial system. Don't go back to that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: And also, don't put yourself under a law that we're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: free from. We're not bound by the law any longer. Amen.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: We have the law of Jesus. Amen. He took two right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Love God with your everything you have, body, soul, everything,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: your mind. And love your neighbors as you love yourself.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, Our Lord said those two. On those two,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: hinge all the prophets in all the laws. Amen. So
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: live that way, and God will live out his perfect
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: will through your life and through my life. And that's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the only way we could satisfy the six hundred and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: thirty thirteen, six hundred and thirteen commandments. Amen, I know
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you know the ten and even those ten, we can't
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: satisfy those. Amen. The Lord does through us, though, as
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: long as we're following him and his commandment, and he says,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: if you love him, you'll follow his commandments. And Jesus
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: has his commandments. He's the fulfillment of the law. He's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the fulfillment of the law. So let's follow the fulfillment
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and I go back to all old sacrificial systems or
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: anything like that, even though we're going to be in
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: an old covenant right today, right, But I just want
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you to know that you're free. Who the Sun says
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: free is what is free indeed, So let's get into
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it on the morning devo today. So authentic commentationology. And
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I press the wrong but where are we bad? Through
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: my button? So here it goes authentic immitationology. Amen, I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: gave you the last slide for the last part of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the one indivo this first one. Let's see did I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: want that one first? Back? Like? Did I put it on? Oh? No?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: There goes Exodus chapter twelve right verses one through fourteen.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: So let me go back what I did. I think
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I messed up. Yeah, so I didn't put the first
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: half of Exodus. So I'm gonna do is. Let's just
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: read Exodus chapter twelve versus eleven of fourteen. These are
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: your instructions for eating this meal. Be fully dressed, wear
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: your sandals, and carry your walking stick in your hand.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Eat the meal with urgent sea, for this is the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Lord's passover. On that night, I will pass through the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn son and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: first born male animal in the land of Egypt. I
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, for
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I am the Lord verse thirteen. But the blood on
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: your door polls will serve as a sign marking the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: houses where you are staying. When I see the blood,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I will pass over you. This plague of death will
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: not touch you. When I strike the land of Egypt.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Who's striking the land? Who's killing here? It looks like
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's the Lord because the Lord's passover, But he's telling
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: his people listen, I'm doing that because I'm striking against
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm putting judgment against all the gods of Egypt.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So if you're serving a god that's not the god
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of scripture, that's not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You're serving an idle god. And God will strike down
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: those gods, execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: For I am the Lord. But the blood on your
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: door posts will serve as a sign marking the houses
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: where you are staying. When I see the blood, I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: will pass over you. This plague of death will not
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: touch you when I strike the land of Egypt. Verse fourteen.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: This is the day to remember. Each year, from generation
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to generation, you must celebrate it as a special festival
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to the Lord. This is a law for all time.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And listen speaking to the children of Israel. So this
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is a law for all time, according to the Scripture,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: for the children of Israel. So what happens does a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: law stop? Know, the law continues, But Jesus fulfill this
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: law as well. Ay Man. That's the point I'm always
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: trying to make when it comes to the law of
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Amen, God's law. So they celebrated the new year,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and they were told that there's going to be a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: celebration of this special festival called Passover to the Lord
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and This is the love for all the time. This
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: is the day to remember each year, Amen, as God
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: want us to bring wants to bring remembrance to these
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: type of days. Amen. So it's different than the time
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that we're going to celebrate the new year. Right, And
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: let me see if I could get to the next scripture.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: It's very different. So I mean, we're not putting blood
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: across our doorposts anymore. I mean, I guess if you
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: want it, you can, but we don't have to. Amen.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: It was done. It was called upon by the Lord
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to execute judgment on the gods of Egypt, in other words, idols,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and he did it. But he told his people, the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: children of Israel, listen, when I see the door blood
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: over the door posts of your home, of your house,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a man I'll pass by the Angel of death that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: God sent will pass by your house, and no harm
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and no death will come into your household. Take it
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: as you want, Amen. It's the time for them, as
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the children Israel, to celebrate this forever. Amen, because it
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: was done for the children of Israel. That hopeing makes sense, right, Ridicants,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty three, verses twenty three to thirty two. He
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: said the Lord said to Moses. He Lord said to Moses,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: give the following instructions to the people of Israel. You
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: see very specific of who God is sending these instructions to,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: very very clear in the scriptures of when God speaks it.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Why is it that when God speaks to specific people,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: we try, as New Covenant Christians to say that he
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: was speaking to us. Can God speak to the people
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: he wanted to speak to? According to the scripture, is that, okay,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: give the following instructions to the people of Israel. On
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the first day of the appointed month in early autumn,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you are to observe a day of complete rest. Sounds
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: like the Sabbath. Right, a complete rest. It will be
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: an official day for Holy Assembly, a day commemorated with
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: loud blasts of the trumpet. Sounds like a celebration. You
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: must do no ordinary work on that day. Instead, you
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: are to present special gifts to the Lord. Verse twenty six.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to Moses, be careful to celebrate
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the day of Atonement on the tenth day of that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: same month, nine days after the festival of trumpets. Very specific,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: very timely. God is God of order. When God says
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the thing he means a thing. He does the thing
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a man for perfect, for his perfect will, and for
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: his perfect plan to come to pass. So He's given
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: these instructions to Moses. Be careful to celebrate the Day
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of Atonement on the tenth day of that same month,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: nine days after the Festival of Trumpets. You must observe
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it as an official day for holy assembly, a day
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to deny yourselves and present special gifts to the Lord.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Verse twenty eight. Do not work during that entire day,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: because it is the day of Atonement, when offerings of
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: purification are made for you, making you write with the Lord,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: your God. We're not out of the system anymore, ladies
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and gentlemen, but I'm reading the system that the Israelites
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: will under during the time of this writing. Okay, Verse
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: twenty nine. All who do not deny themselves that day
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: will be cut off from God's people, and I will
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: destroy anyone among you who does any work on that day.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Very strict rule. Right, you must not do any work
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: at all. This is a permanent law for who for
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you and who is he speaking to the children and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the people of Israel, And it must be observed from
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: generation to generation wherever you live. This will be a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Sabbath day of complete rest for you, and on that
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: day you must deny yourselves. This day of rest will
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: begin at sundown on the ninth day of the month
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and extended to sundown on the tenth day. This was
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: another yearly, this was another celebration according to the scripture
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of how God wanted us and his people, excuse me,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: his people Israel at the time that this was written
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to celebrate this day. Amen. And you could call it
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a new year. Amen. According to the scriptures, you could
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: call it a biblical new year as a matter of fact.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: So we have the writings, We have the scriptures, Amen,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: we have the teachings, Amen, and we have it here.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: So I can't that God wants his people to rest
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and wants his people to celebrate a man. As a
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, he wants people during the time that
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he wrote it, to give him offerings and gifts, a
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: son to the Lord, so very different than how we celebrate, right,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: very different. I want you to see that. I wanted
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to read all that for you could see that how
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: when we say happininess, it really it falls short of
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: our the biblical calendar. A man very different, a man
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: is okay, but it's very different. So let me show
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you the religious new year, according to suscriptures called Nissan Aviv.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: The month of Nissan, which usually falls in March or April,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: is considered the beginning of the religious calendar. This is
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: based on God's instructions to Moses and Aaron in Exodus
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: chapter twelve, where we just read. If you go to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: twelve verse tu, you'll see the specific rate there where
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he declares that Nissan will be the first month of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the year for the Israelites. This month is significant because
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it includes Passover, which commemorates the Israelites exodus, their escape
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: or they're set free from or their exiting from Egypt,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and their liberation from slavery. Right, so God appointed that
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: time of the month, which was March or April, the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: month of Nissan Aviv. Amen. And if you ask any
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Jewish scholar, if you ask any Jewish person or any
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Hebrew person, and they would tell you that they still
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: have this in full effect in their lives. Amen. They
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: know history better than the Gentiles. The next one is
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the civil New year, so we have the religious new
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: year that we have the civil new year. Touch rate
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and I hope I'm saying these words right. The month
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of test Ray, which is usually falls in September or October,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: marks the beginning of the civil year in the Jewish
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: calendar or the Hebrew calendar. This is when Rashashana. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I know you've heard that before. If you haven't heard that,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you could look at the calendar. Is probably on our
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: calendar too. Rashashana the Jewish New year. See that the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Hebrew New year is celebrated. Rashashana is a time of reflection, repentance,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and renewal leading up to yan Kapor, which is the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: day of Atonement. The reason why we could look at
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: these things as born again believers and look at them
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: is feel that that's interesting, but we don't have to celebrate.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It's because we have the full complete atonement through the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ. He did more than a tone for
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: our sins right. He forgave us for our sins once
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: and for all. Remember in the old sacrificial system that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: they were, you know, sacrificing an aimals, goats, lambs and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: all that they were doing that to make things right
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: with God for that season. For that reason, a man
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of sacrificial things were going on for God.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: But when Jesus showed up as the ultimate, true sacrifice,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the only sacrifice that was one hundred percent pure that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: could satisfy the sind debt of all people once and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: for all, when he died on that cross, Amen, he
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: satisfied the sind debt once for all. So we don't
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: have to continue going back and doing these sacrifices to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: get right with God. We're not under that old covenant
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: system anymore. We're under the new Covenant. Amen. When Jesus
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: is the complete fulfillment of the law, he's the complete
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: fulfillment of the atonement. So when we look at these
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: successivals that our Hebrew brothers and sisters celebrate, Amen, it
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: should interest a Christian, a bud again believer. We don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: have to celebrate it. We could observe it. We can
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: if you want. The Bible says, don't let anybody you
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: for your celebrations, don't let anybody judge you by what
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: you eat right right, things like that. So we already
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: have that straight. But we know that these festivals and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: these celebrations are still in effect for those and actually
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: for those who still are looking for the savior. Amen.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: They deny Jesus as Savior, as the Messiah a man.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: We have Hebrew brothers and sisters all around the world
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: who are still in this system and still trying to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: follow the Law of Moses because they're looking and they're
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: waiting for the Messiah. So we pray for our brothers
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and sisters like that that God will open their eyes
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to the realization that the Messiah came, you know, was
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: here thirty three and a half years to send it
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and promised to come back. So at that time he's going.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Before that, he's going to send evangelists to evangelize to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the Jewish people, to the Hebrew people once again a man,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and it's going to be a revival coding to the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: scripture with the Jews and the Hebrews. Amen. Good morning, God,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: bless your sister Joyce. Amen, God bless you. It's good
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to see you on the morn in Devo. It's real
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: quiet today. I don't know what's going on a man
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: on the live chat, but it's all good. A man
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: where two or three are gathered there, he is in
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: our mist in the midst of our situation, in the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: midst of our praise, and the midst of our worship,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: in the midst of our Bible reading, in the midst
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: of our devotion, He's with us, Amen, and that's really
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: important that God is with us. So we see Aviv,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: which in Nissan tishry the civil new year. Aviv is
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a religious new year. So we have new years found
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: in the scriptures according to the Old Covenant and the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: system that they were under, right and the system that
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: some Hebrews are still under if they're not born again right,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So we observe it. We look at it. It's biblical,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: here's historical, it's factual, Amen, that happened, and people are
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: still celebrating these festivals. So it's okay as a born
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: again believer to be interested about it and to celebrate
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: as well because we have part of this history by
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the bloodline Amen of the Lord Jesus. Both of these
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: periods are significant spiritual meanings in the Jewish tradition Hebrew tradition,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with Nissan focusing on redemption and deliverance, right. Those are
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: words we use a lot as believers. Right, redemption and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: deliverance and tistary emphasizing renewal, introspection, renewal. While these are
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: not directly observed by us as Christians. They provide historical
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and cultural contexts for understanding the biblical calendar and the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: timing of various biblical events. So it helps us to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: see the historical facts and to see the biblical calendar.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: That helps us put everything into perspective, well, why was
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: this going on or why was that going on? As
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, it really puts more detail to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the times and places and the people that that why
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: they were celebrating. And you could date this right back
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to the he calendar and say, okay, now this makes
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: more sense. Why was Jesus celebrating these festivals. Why was
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus celebrating the Passover? Amen? Because the New Testament had
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: not been posted yet, had not become out yet. Amen.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: But Jesus is the living New Covenant. He was telling
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the people of Israel what was to happen, what was
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to come, and that he was the fulfillment of everything
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the prophets had spoken about this Messiah, that he was
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the Messiah. And unfortunately, the rabbis at the time, the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: chief priests at the time, and didn't buy it. They
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: didn't go for it. They didn't believe them, and they
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: called them a blasphemer. They called them other things as well,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and because of that, and he was crucified because of
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: demand for them to crucify. But it was because the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: prophecy that the Messiah would come and be crucified was
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: really the thing that really prompted or really inspired or
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: really sent Jesus to across. It was really a prophetic thing.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Jesus told the governor or a conscious pilot, that no
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: one will have power over him. Only the power that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: was given from above was able to hold Jesus at bay,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to hold Jesus on the cross. He did it to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: fulfill the scriptures. Amen. So granted the religious people of
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: his time, although they had all the festivals, they had
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the sacrificial system. They celebrated New Year Rashashana, they celebrated
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: nissan A viv, they celebrated Tishre, the civil new year,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and all that that went on. They knew the historical
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: biblical narrative of Moses, the law, the prophets. They knew
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that when Jesus showed up, he was speaking kingdom. Amen.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: And we're still speaking Kingdom to this very day. So
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: when I look at my calendar on the wall in
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: my studio, I noticed a friends between that calendar and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the calendar that's in the Bible. Like I said, it's okay,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: let's observe the biblical calendar. Amen. We're not mandated like
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the Israelites were mandated. They were commanded to celebrate these days.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: They were commanded to celebrate that Sabbath day that we
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: read about, and I believe in it was an Exodus
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: first sort a day of rest. Amen. And we have
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a day of rest too. We call it the Lord's Day, right,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: so we should be resting as well. The Lord God himself,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: created God himself eloheim yahweh rested, Amen. And his rest
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: is definitely not like our rest. We can't understand a
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: God who rested. Amen. We understand when people rest. So
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to take all the pressure off of us.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get us back into celebration mode. We
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: have everything to celebrate about. We have so much to celebrate,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the fact that we're alive in Christ, the fact that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: He is coming back for spotless, blameless church, the fact
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: that He rescues, he saves, he heals, he redeems, he restores,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: he renews, he protects, he guides, he guards, he does
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: all of it, and he did it all once and
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: for all the cross. He's not going to get crucified again.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: He's not going to be punished again. Amen. He's not
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: going to receive the sins of the whole world upon
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: himself ever again. This was a once for all deal
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: for all eternity. So let's celebrate when Happy New Year's comes,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: when December twenty first comes and that clock strikes twelve,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: unless honor God with our celebration. Now, man, let's celebrate
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: it holy. Let's celebrate it sober. Let's celebrate it high
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: on Christ, high on the Holy Spirit, drunken the Holy Spirit,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: instead of with alcohol and he drugs and he weed.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: None of that. We don't need none of that. No more.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Were on a supernatural high. So when we say Happy
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: New Year, we're gonna be happy. We're gonna be alive.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be trusting God for more for the new year. Amen,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and for His word to come to pass in our
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: lives individually, incorporate, Amen, throughout the nations and throughout the world,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: for all whosoever's who call upon the name of the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Lord to be saved. So I hope you get what
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I know there was a lot of reading there.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you some biblical history. Amen
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: on those two days, Nissan, which is a viv and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: touched raw the civil new year. Nissan a viv was
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the religious new year. So the calendar of the Bible
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and the calendar that we have are two different calendars.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I know some people probably never knew that, but now
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you know. So Happy New Year. I'll see you next time.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Next Friday will be in the New Year. From the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: time of this recording. Thank you so much for hanging
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: out with me for this morning devotion. God bless you all,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
