The Jewish holidays are not really Jewish -- they are G-ds! He commands the observance of the holidays in Leviticus 23 and refers to them as, My feasts, belonging to Him and not to the people. Much of the teaching derived from these special days is the foundational milk the early church was built upon. Today, they are a mystery. Nestled within the ancient traditions (observed to this day) are secrets spelling out the events occurring at the end of the age. Open a doorway into a world that is both past and future; a world that is the undiscovered territory to a majority of people in the two major religions calling the Bible G-ds Holy Word.

-Do you believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever? -Do you believe that the Bible is the absolute, inerrant, perfectly preserved and authoritative Word of God? -Do you believe that God is in absolute control? Most Christians would answer affirmatively to these questions but hold fast to beliefs concerning Bible prophecy that stand in direct contrast to the sovereignty and unchanging nature of God, having cast aside the eternal relevance of the Torah and the dual identity of Yeshua as the Christian Savior and the Jewish Messiah. More than 2000 years ago, the veil that covered the doorway to the Holy of Holies at the Temple was torn from top to bottom as God mourned the death of His only Son to bring salvation to the world. The New Testament church wears a second veil, a wedding veil, one that has obscured the full understanding and acceptance of the truth and timing of the events that will take place in the last days. Locked away inside the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and the ancient practices of the Jewish religion and culture is key insight into the most important and debated prophetic questions in Christianity. Daniel 12:9 states that the comprehension of prophecy will be sealed until the time of the end. Only now, in the terminal generation, are the words of Ezekiel, Daniel, Isaiah, and the Lord Jesus Christ playing out in front page headlines while the study of Bible prophecy reaches new heights with each passing day. Can we know the timing of the Rapture of the Church, the Second Coming of Yeshua and the End of the Age? Are the feast days of Leviticus 23 still relevant to both Christians and Jews today? Has the modern church missed the intended meaning of the Messianic teachings of the apostle Paul? The answers lie just beyond The Lifted Veil.

There is something you can receive and learn in the "now" and "present season" of our lives, as well as prophetic connections to past and future events, that are in the Moedim of the Lord. They are pointers and God's gift to us to show us set times, rehearsals and His Divine appointments. It's hard for us to understand how, before man arrived, that God would have already had this in place, but the plans and purposes of God for each one of us have already been written in the books of heaven. When we learn about and begin to keep these appointed times, we begin to align ourselves with the plan and book He has for each one of us. Apostle Paul wrote that the feasts are shadows of the future, so we know they are very important as they signal and indicate a time in the future for all of creation. In this book Hidden Blessings Revealed you will learn about the first two of the fall feasts and how they are greatly connected and are an important part of a prophetic timeline that has to do with Messiah Jesus' coming again. If you want to know more about all of the Moedim, I challenge you to read my other books on each of the Spring and Fall Feasts to learn how each one has meaning and blessings for now and the future. One of the things we must relearn is how the early church celebrated these Moedim. Even though they had people born as Jews and those born from the nations, they all did the same thing when it came to worship and living the ways of the Lord. The Apostle Paul, as he traveled to the different churches on his missionary journeys, made sure they were all taught the same instructions. He wanted his letter read and passed to each church so they would all get the same teaching and understanding about what they were all to do. As you read the Word with this lens you will have a new picture of the early church as a prototype of all believers in Yeshua-Jesus worshiping and keeping the Feasts of the Lord and the Sabbaths in childlike obedience as a confirmation of their faith.Colossians 4:16 NIV16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.1 Thessalonians 5:27 NIV27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters. The Apostle Paul also sent his spiritual son and disciple, Timothy to take the letters and the teachings as a standard in every church. So if we can find just one of the churches doing these things it would have been all of them. Also, the early church had only the Old Testament or what the Hebrews called the Tanakh as the scriptures they were following. They all knew that Jesus did not loosen or destroy these, for in them was life and light for all. 1 Corinthians 4:17 AMP17 For this very cause I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and trustworthy child in the Lord, who will recall to your minds my methods of proceeding and course of conduct and way of life in Christ, such as I teach everywhere in each of the churches.1 Corinthians 4:17 YLT17 because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach. As we look at the first two of the fall feasts, I hope and pray the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened and you would know what is the hope of His calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance in each of His people. I believe there are untold spoils and treasures waiting for us to uncover and unveil. Let's begin!
