So I will delve into the holidays a little bit mor
Post# of 1012
bc of the extreme antisemitism of demonic rome,which was accelerated by the jewish rebellions of 66 and 132 bc, antisemitism became synonymous w loyalty to rome
plus new gentile converts were changing the composition of the largely jewish early church
and when the world took over the church after constantine presided over the council of nicea 325 ad, the church leaders became antisemitic in order to enjoy the favor of the govt
the adversary has always used and operated through governments and religion (legalism-the opposite of worshiping in spirit and truth john 4:24)- to control the ppl. The usa experiment and sometimes historically israel were the exceptions and 1 african countries president declared christ as lord of their country.
the 7 high sabbaths all point to jesus- who has been fulfilling those festivals personally in his life-
the 1st 2 festivals in the spring- 15th and 21st of nisan- commemorate jesus' sacrifice,church born at 3rd HS pentecost -see Acts 2
rosh hashanah(RH) high sabbath is a 2 day festival-
israel had 2- 4 calendars -the most important were the religious calendar which began nisan 1-new beginnings.,and the civil calendar, which began tishrei 1 - 1st day of rh.
but the jews used a lunar calendar of 354 days/yr, not a solar calendar of 365 days,so they had to add a leap month -adar 2 - 6 times every 19 years.
"no man knows the day or hour of his coming" is a church mantra but the church as usual has forgotten the jewish and biblical(not just jewish) context.
the next high sabbath to be fulfilled by jesus is RH-the 2nd coming announced by the feast of trumpets.
in a lunar calendar,the 1st day of the civil new year could not be known til the new moon was sighted
but to be safe some say the sanhedrin announced the holiday before such sighting
when the new moon was 1st sighted in the east bonfires on hill tops were lit in a relay all the way to jersualem,where the sanhedrin would announce the festival/.new year/high sabbath
RH was the 30th day of a once yearly 40 day cycle of repentance which began on elul 1.
RH was/is a day of victory delivery for the righteous and a day of judgment of the rashim wicked-those who were permanently reprobate. Those in the middle had another 10 days to repent -til Yom Kippor.
for those who want to know more i would recommend joseph goods book Rosh Hasahanah and the Messianic Kingdom to Come and grant jeffreys book armageddon, appointment w destiny
so bc of the 2 day nature of the festival and the unknown time of tishri 1,work was often prohibited on both days
so, zn leasing land from a religious kibbutz which observes these festivals,could not work on sept 8,10,11,15,18,22,24or 25,30 or Oct 1,
w 7th day being Hoshanah Rabba, the 8th day of tabernacles being a special high sabbath holiday Shemini Atzeret and some observe a 9th day called Simchat Torah
so there are 9-11 days during this one unique ca 22 day time period where ZN could not work at the oil platform,where there work would be obvious to the kibbutz-
they can do analysis etc which will keep them busy- something that is going on in any operation without offset wells to learn from, as verified by kyoil
while they simultaneously wait for the war chest to increase.
doesnt make sense to work at the well under those temporary conditions-send 1-2 days getting packer in the bore-take a day off for sabbath while packer money is burning,giving only 1-2 days before have to haul packer in again
but traders never understand the deep things bc they have rejected knowledge due to their unrecognized rebellion
thus the world operates at a very shallow level,always running to and fro to increase knowledge without ever understanding whatever secular knowledge they think they have achieved
and wisdom-the world has rejected the very foundation of wisdom as has the church.
the above is from memory so may a mistake somewhere but is pretty close
