Alzheimers or selective memory?

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom shalom mishpacha, first and foremost: baruk h'shem YHWH! - w'baruka ha bo b'shem YHWH! .... blessed is the name YHWH - and blessed is your coming in the name YHWH >>> YAHushua!

                                         I pray all is well with you in these spiritually turbulent times.

In this brief attempt at edifying those that seek spiritual understanding with a sincere heart I want to address a continuing falling away from YHWH's moadym / appointed times.

In recent years many of us have come into the knowledge of YHWH's truth but somehow the adversary that is still working his will in the children of disobedience (Ephes. 2:2) has "stepped up" his deceit because he knows he is on short time. If we take the time to read all the way through to Ephes. 5:6, "... let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of Elohym upon the children of disobedience"......- we can see the end result of such behaviour.

First lets go directly to the torah / instruction YHWH gave to Moshe to give to bney yisrael, we have all read in times past the true moadym catalogued in w'yiqra (Leviticus) 23rd chapter and debarym (Deut.) 16th chapter but at this time lets just focus on passover.

It is recorded in Lev. 23:25-26, In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the YHWH's passover. 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto YHWH: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. ..... - we need not overlook the declaring that this is YHWH's passover he wanted observed, not mans! ... we better understand he wasn't the one needing to be passed over from the destroyer ... the Israelites were!  How many times have you heard the "unskilled" in the word try to tell you that you absolutely cannot keep the feast outside of Jerusalem or the place where YHWH placed his name in this hour?..... Did they not read in torah whats written in Deut. 12:21, "IF the place which YHWH  thy Elohym hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which YHWH  hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after"........ - OH OH!, - maybe they need to go read Hebrews 5:12, before they ever attempt to open their mouths again!

 And a deeper explaination of the purpose of "khag h'matsos" or feast of unleaven bread we can find in Deut.16:1-3 and 16:8, 16:1,  "Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto YHWH thy Elohym: for in the month of Abib YHWH thy Elohym brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. 16:2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto YHWH thy Elohym, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose to place his name there. 16:3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in HASTE: that thou mayest REMEMBER the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt ALL the days of thy life".

Deut 16:8 "Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH thy Elohym: thou shalt do no work therein" .....- at no time ever did YHWH suggest his moadym were for salvation! - but instead to make sure generation to generation remember and not forget his mercy. Does it honestyly look like the selfish generations today really believe or care about any of his historical wonders?.... now who's fault is that, theirs or OURS?.... OH OH.

Remember what was given to Ezekiel in 20:19-20, "I am YHWH your Elohym; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; 20:20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a SIGN between me and you, that ye may know that I am YHWH your Elohym".

Some religious folks that profess to be at a higher level, try to say Paul taught remembering the passover is no longer needed, but if we read in context what he really stated in 1st. Cor. we see the contrary of this thwarted doctrine, 1st.Cor. 5:6-8, "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even h'mashiach our passover is sacrificed for us: 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" ...- he was verbally correcting their wicked and prideful behavior if you read vs. 1-5, and at verses 6-8 he instructs them to KEEP the feast like he did - THE RIGHT WAY , not a ritual but without malice or wickedness and to be sincere about it, now does that sound like a termination or a continuation?

We have also heard the distortion of YAHushua's words as recorded by Luke, in chapt. 22:14-16 we have read, When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. Then He said to them, "with fervent desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of Elohym" ... - now where did anyone get the idea that he told THEM not to continue YAH's appointed feast? and here is the knock-out out question: If it no longer would have a purpose, why would he promise them that he would eat this passover again in the Kingdom?... WOW! (think about that passover stompers!).

Also in the book of the Acts of the Apostles it was recorded in chapt. 18:20-21 (while he was visiting Ephesis), when they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; 18:21 But bade them farewell, saying, "I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if Elohym will". And he sailed from Ephesus. ..... - this was at the end of his second journey but the question is: why go to Jerusalem to keep a feast if they no longer serve a purpose? ... and what did he mean by "by ALL means".

Also it's recorded in Acts chapter 27:9 dealing with turbulent sailing at those months of the year after yom kippurym: "Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, ..... - here he was a prisoner on the way to Rome but still had been able to keep the fast".

Also in 1st. Corinthians chpt.16:5-8 we read, " ... now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. 16:6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if YHWH permit. 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost". ..... - here he plainly states he he observed shabuote / pentacost with the assembly in Ephesus, (maybe Paul didnt get the memo that feast were obsolete).

Maybe some of the "higher level" know-it-alls should have told that voice Shaul heard on the road to Damascus to tell him the feast are useless anymore. .... oh well. There are other accounts of observing YAH's set appart times outside Jerusalem specifically passover (after the death and ressurection of YAHushua), such as recorded in Acts 20:6, "....and we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days ..... - last I checked by map Philippi is a long long swim from Jerusalem - so much for that twisted "can't keep passover outside Jerusalem" doctrine!

Now again we are reminded in Acts 20:13-16, "and we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot. 20:14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 20:15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus. 20:16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost". ..... - why was Paul who was so well enlightened so determined to keep another feast at it's appointed time? didn't he know there memorials were obsolete ... or are they?

Lets move beyond the senseless teachings of those that think they are more annointed than Paul because we can embrace the understanding he gave to those in Galatia, in Galatians 1:11-12 it showed us, ".... but I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Yahushua H'mashiach"...... - would any smart-alec dare to open their undisciplined mouth and tell Paul he don't know what he's talking about or even worse, his teacher is in error? 

I as well as a few others have come to the realization some have thrown YHWH's laws and appointed times behind their backs because they have allowed the adversary to enter in or they themselves are too undisciplined to follow the commands he gave us, due to their own desire for convenience and carnality. If a person is given to a certain lust or desire the wicked one can enter in and tempt that individual to no end. So if we want to be honest some will disguard all Paul tried to write so that they can "have their leavend cake and eat it too".

Why would a carnal person given to their lust for snacks possibly rid their dwellings of cakes, cookies, pies, rolls, pizza, etc., just to keep a ordained memorial? No wonder Paul and Timotheus wrote to those in Philippi whats recorded in Phil. 3:17-19, ".... brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the stake of h'mashiach: 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) ..... - BUSTED! > carnality carnality carnality!.

If we keep playing games to selectively ignore or forget things we really ought to remember then we shouldn't be suprised when the loved ones in our societies start to experience a permanent loss of memory aka so-called "Alzheimers" or even worse - if the Most High selects to forget us!  We have even heard mouthy officers of satan point to the "useless ritual" of the feast days, but how come they NEVER point to the intended real purpose? 

A real n'aby / prophet by the name Malaki was told to point some things out to those that could hear, in Malaki 3:13-14 have read,  "Your words have been stout against me, saith YHWH. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 3:14 Ye have said, It is VAIN to serve Elohym: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before YHWH of hosts?".....- now why even back then would they teach passover, yom kippur and other moadym were vain and mournful to true children of YAH?, .... (nothing new under the sun) and if you read verses 16-18 you see the prophetic promise made to those that got themselves back on track to serve in righteousness. 

During these upcoming seasons and appointed times make a decision on your own, based on your relationship with the ALLmighty. The most high YHWH gave us the appointed times, YAHushua showed us the example and the disciples and Paul showed us the continuation, ... whats the problem?.

selah and shalom
