Through the Feasts Part 2 of 3- Sharing the love of our Messiah

The next feast is Yom Kippur. It is found in Leviticus 23:26-32:

And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

Lev 23:27 "On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.

Lev 23:28 "And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement,

to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.

Lev 23:29 "For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

Lev 23:30 "And any being who does any work on that same day,

that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.

Lev 23:31 "You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Lev 23:32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings.

On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath."

It is the feast of repentance. A time to ask YHVH for forgiveness for what we have done wrong against Him and His Torah. It is the final chance to look at ourselves before the bridegroom comes for the wedding.

If we are not prepared we will be like the women without oil in their lamps, and we will miss out.

For the past 2 years we have been doing the fast of Isaiah 58:

"Cry aloud, do not spare. Lift up your voice like a ram’s horn.

Declare to My people their transgression, and the house of Yaʽaqoḇ their sins.

Isa 58:2 "Yet they seek Me day by day, and delight to know My ways,

 as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the right-ruling of their Elohim.

They ask of Me rulings of righteousness, they delight in drawing near to Elohim. 

 3 They say, ‘Why have we fasted, and You have not seen?

Why have we afflicted our beings, and You took no note?’

"Look, in the day of your fasting you find pleasure, and drive on all your labourers.

Isa 58:4 "Look, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wrongness.

You do not fast as you do this day, to make your voice heard on high.

Isa 58:5 "Is it a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his being? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to יהוה?

Isa 58:6 "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loosen the tight cords of wrongness, to undo the bands of

the yoke, to exempt the oppressed, and to break off every yoke?

Isa 58:7 "Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, and cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh?

Isa 58:8 "Then your light would break forth like the morning, your healing spring forth speedily. And your

righteousness shall go before you, the esteem of יהוה would be your rear guard.

Isa 58:9 "Then, when you call, יהוה would answer; when you cry, He would say, ‘Here I am.’ "If you take

away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and the speaking of unrighteousness,

Isa 58:10 if you extend your being to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted being,

then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness be as noon.

Isa 58:11 "Then יהוה would guide you continually, and satisfy your being in drought,

and strengthen your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden,

and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Isa 58:12 "And those from among you shall build the old waste places. You shall raise up the

foundations of many generations. And you would be called the Repairer of the Breach,

the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

The fast that YHVH wants isn't to starve ourselves for a day, cry aloud and to look foolish. That is what the Pharrises did during Yahshua's time. He wants us to HELP others. He wants us to give out of what we have and give it to the people who need it most. Loving your neighbour, loving YHVH,

on which hangs all the Torah and Prophets. Amein!

So anyway, we went to El Duruy and gave some food

and clothing to the people who needed it most.
