Isaiah 30 Tishrei 15

Isaiah 30

30And Yahuah shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

31For through the voice of Yahuah shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which Yahuah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

33For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of Yahuah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

The Assyrian is Nimrod, the man who was, is not, yet will be. In our End Times, we know him as the Anti-Christ, the 7th incarnation of the beast. He is here now, but as yet, his name has not been revealed to the World. DB

Function of the Tophet

One of the rituals of the Phoenician religion (reinvented Canaanites after they were Carthaginians) was to sacrifice humans, especially children, according to ancient sources. The victims were killed by fire. According to the ancient historians Clitarch and Diodorus, a hearth was set before a bronze statue of the god Baal (or El) who had outstretched arms on which the victim was placed before falling into the fire. They also mention the victims wearing a smiling mask to hide their tears from the god to whom they were being offered. The victim's ashes were then placed in an urn and buried in tombs placed within a dedicated sacred open space surrounded by walls, the tophet.

Tophets are generally located outside the city proper and usually to the north. The tophet at Carthage (reinvented Canaanites after they were ousted from Judah) has a shrine area with an altar where the sacrifices were made. After the ceremony the ashes of the burnt offering were placed within a vessel. Stones were then placed on top of the funerary urns to seal them and placed within the tophet, sometimes within shaft tombs. From the 6th century BCE, stelae were dedicated to Baal or Tanit and placed on top of the urns instead of stones. Many stelae have an inscription which describes a human blood sacrifice or the substitution of a sheep for a child. The urns themselves were often recycled pots and jars from as far afield as Corinth and Egypt and so provide an interesting and valuable record of Phoenician trade.

The word means being reduced to ash by fire. Sodom and Gomorrah were tophets, their eventual fate. DB

Sukkot 2021 Tishrei 15

 

Sunset 10-22-21 Sukkot begins

Sunset 10-22-21 through Sunset 10-29-21

John 7:37-38
“In the last day, that great day of THE feast, Yeshua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believes on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

 

Each of the feast festivals represents a physical metaphor for YHVH's plan for creation. Sukkot is about an in gathering of harvest. This is symbolic of Yeshua's in gathering of those that love Our Father, the Lamb Yeshua, and have the Spirit of the Most High within themselves. 

So for seven days, we rejoice in our blessings, whatever they may be on whatever level, and remind ourselves that we are the harvest that one day, will be brought home to heaven. 

It is also about being a sincere and truthful person and living to that standard. That's the main thing, character building. In many ways, all these festivals has that as a theme, on an inner level. Staying the same old stinker means one isn't connecting with the spirit within your heart.

This year, it starts Friday at sunset, PDT United States. However the actual time is based Jerusalem's sunset.

Sukkot ends the festivals for this year, until Passover next year.

The Fall feasts are simply:

Feast of Trumpets - He Comes.

Atonement - Repentance for our sins. 

Feast of Tabernacles - He is with us.

May His blessings be upon each of you always.

Possible Future Fulfillment

Sukkot is a Festival/Feast of joy as we anticipate Yeshua’s return to “Tabernacle” among His people and rule and reign for a thousand years. We know from prophecy that all will be celebrating this Feast when Yeshua returns as King. “And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Adonai of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.” (Zechariah 14:16) 

According to scripture during this time one of Yeshua’s first orders of business is to throw the“anti-Christ” and his “false prophet” into the lake of fire, and bind up satan at the bottom of the abyss for the thousand years. (Revelation19:20-20:3) Can you even begin to imagine what it will be like to live on the earth with Yeshua, the Son of God, Our King in person with no satanic influence whatsoever for one thousand years? What a glorious age it will be! At the conclusion of the thousand-year reign, satan will be released and destroyed in battle
(Revelation 20:7-10, Ezekiel 38 & 39). (from a calendar on my wall.)

Sukkot means, Adonai is with us.
