I would like to remind you about the set-apart {holy} days that are coming up in the next month or so and encourage you to observe them strictly as high Sabbath's, days which should be devoted to the service of Yah and in which NO commercial or labouring activity of any sort should be done.

A Sabbath is a day on which NOTHING that could be done on another day (other than direct ministry) is done and this does NOT allow for making excuses because you are too busy or whatever.  You should take leave from work on these days.

Note that in some cases there is uncertainty whether the day begins at sunset on the previous day and runs through to sunset the following day or whether these days begin at sunrise.  I generally observe them from sunset the day BEFORE the date given below to sunrise the day after the date given below.  The exception is the Day of Atonement which is expressly designated as being from sunset the day before the date below to sunset on the date below.

Note also that there are different opinions regarding the exact dates, the dates that follow are based on the calendar that I sent to the list early in the year which I believe to be the most reliable.

In this, as in all matters, I encourage you to go before Yah and seek His guidance.

The upcoming set-apart days are:

1. The Feast of Trumpets (Hebrew Yom Teruah) – Thursday 29 September 2011 – we are commanded to sound the Shofar (trumpet made from a Ram's horn) – I have Shofar's made from Kudu horns, it is a time of rejoicing and claiming victory.

Note that this is NOT the first day of Yah's year as some believe, this is the MIDDLE of Yah's year.

The New Moon is Wednesday 28 September and is also a time of feasting and rejoicing so this is a special New Moon because it ties in with the Feast of Trumpets.

2. The Day of Atonement (Hebrew -- Yom Kippur) – Saturday 8 October 2011 – observe from sunset the day before to sunset on the day – a TOTAL FAST – we should not eat or drink anything although I generally take a SMALL piece of bread and a small amount of grape juice and rehearse the covenant made by Yahooshua at the start and end of the 24 hours and in the morning.

If health-wise you cannot fast totally then I suggest only water in limited quantities or a slightly bigger covenant meal, three times during the 24 hours if necessary but a total fast is prescribed.

This is the most set-apart day in Yah's calendar, it is a time for introspection, examining ourselves, remembering  Yahooshua's atoning sacrifice / offering, dealing with our sins, etc.  It is a solemn and sober day.

3. The First day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Hebrew – Sukkot) – Thursday 13 October 2011 – this is a day of rejoicing and feasting – this is the day that Yahooshua {Jesus} was born.

4. The Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles – Thursday 20 October 2011 – the day that Yahooshua was circumcised – also a day of rejoicing and feasting.

5. We should remember the Feast of Tabernacles from the first day to the Great (eighth) Day as the time that the Hebrew's were commanded to remember their sojourning in the wilderness and Yah's supernatural provision for them.

Yah plans events around His set-apart days and therefore it is important to be aware of them and observe them.

Also a reminder that Christmas and Easter are totally out as celebrations or sabbaths, they are both pagan feasts that are abominations in the sight of Yah.

IF you have a need for an annual party and giving of gifts then the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles is the most appropriate day for this.

Conclusion

If you have not previously observed these days I encourage you as an act of loving submission to our loving heavenly Father to do so this year and every year thereafter for the rest of your life.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

I was impressed by Yah to read an email from a list that i have subscribed to for many years but seldom read the posts

Reference is made to two video's on You Tube which i have just finished watching

http://youtu.be/ydnrqeKY-Zc

http://youtu.be/A03NEZaDEV0

While i do not agree with all that is said and continue to understand that the essential name of the Creator is Yah and that Yahweh or Yahooeh or Jehovah, etc should all be translated as "Yah the eternally self existing" i believe that the fundamental message about the true name is extremely important and that there is a strong anointing on these two messages

I encourage you to watch both messages and, as with everything, to concentrate on seeking truth NOT error.

I will endeavour to download and make available these two messages on DVD for those of you who have constraints on downloading it -- please email me if you would like a copy

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace

Some months ago a friend mentioned that they were feeling convicted by Father Yah to observe the New Moons in addition to the Saturday Sabbath and the set apart feasts and fasts that I have written about previously

Subsequently I have felt such conviction myself

Today I undertook some research and came up with the attached article

As far as I can determine at this stage there is no particular prescription as to what one should do to celebrate other than sound the shofar (trumpet) and offer a sacrifice (roast or barbecue some meat -- lamb or beef) to express it simplistically

Attached also please find attached the Qodesh calendar which Yah has indicated to me I can make use of, the New Moon is "Rosh Chodesh"

Upcoming dates are:

31 July

30 August

28 September

27 October

26 November

26 December

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace

Somebody asked me about the Year of Jubilee relating to cancellation of debts.

I undertook research with Google and quickly found that there are diverse contradictory views as to the date of the next Year of Jubilee

When I prayed about it Daddy Yah told me not to concern myself with it.  He said it is a highly contentious issue with diverse opinions and is not technically relevant because our society is not able to comply with the conditions for a Jubilee year and that anyway He is able to cancel debt as He sees fit.

Teachings that every year is a Jubilee in Yahooshua are false, there are very specific calendar requirements for a Jubilee and, by definition, a Jubilee occurs the year following every 49^th year according to a very specific calendar.

Conclusion

Technically there are still Jubilee years but we are unable to comply with the conditions for Jubilee and therefore we should not concern ourselves with it.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

As I have already pointed out the start of Passover tonight is also the start of the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread

Under the covenant given by Moshe {Moses} the believers were required to scrupulously remove leaven (yeast), representative of corruption, from their homes

However, Yahooshua {Jesus} repeatedly referred to the leaven of the Scribes and the Pharisees -- all the false teachings of men that had corrupted truth Faith in, and relationship with, Daddy Yah (the Almighty Creator)

It is my current understanding that what Daddy Yah desires us to do over the next seven days is to closely examine ourselves and our lives and REMOVE ALL SIN (leaven) from our lives -- recognize it, bring it before Yah, confess it, repent of it, ask for and receive forgiveness in the name of Yahooshua and make a concerted effort to live a life without sin going forward

The article on the Mark of the Beast summarizes at a headline level the most severe sins we all need to deal with over the next seven days

But ONLY Yahooshua lived without sin, I hear you cry

True AND Yahooshua said that we would do GREATER works than He did

I truly encourage you, if you do not aspire to do GREATER works than Yahooshua you are missing the mark and may well hear those words "depart from me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you" on the Day of Judgment

YOU should aspire to live a life without sin! :)

One of Satan's most effective lies is that OTHERS can walk in the power of the Spirit of Yah, the anointing, and we should look up to them -- NOT SO -- we should look to them as examples -- the WAY -- and seek to emulate them and exceed what they did

Until you can read the books commonly referred to as "the Gospels" - that is Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as though YOU ARE YAHOOSHUA, until YOU visualize yourself doing ALL that he did, until you desire to do MORE than he did you are NOT walking in your true potential as a believer

It is there for EACH ONE OF US -- YOU are the only thing standing between you and the full power and authority that Yah has for you

If you meet a highly anointed one, by all means sit at their feet for a season to learn from them, better still get them to lay hands on you and ask for a double measure of their anointing as Elisha did with Elijah -- pray regarding such a one "Father, in the name of Yahooshua I desire to know you the way ... (name of anointed one) knows you" -- see what happens -- when i did that in 1994 my bedroom was filled with the roar of the wind of the Spirit and Father placed His hand on me and I awoke with a mighty anointing and subsequently experienced for a short while what it was like to walk with the same anointing and authority that Yahooshua had

I am no better than you are, YOU can have the same or greater experience IF you are willing to lay down your life for Yah and make the sacrifices that are required to receive the power gifts of Yah

Pray daily "Father i ask you to do whatever is necessary for me to walk in the FULL anointing that you have appointed for me

AND deal with ALL the leaven of the Scribes and the Pharisees of the pagan Christian Church in your life -- refer the Mark of the Beast

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

Passover commences at sunset this evening (18 April) and runs for 24 hours.  This is also the start of the feast of unleavened bread which lasts for seven days.

The day of Passover (sunset tonight to sunset tomorrow) is a high Sabbath and we are warned that those who do not observe it will be cut off from amongst Yah's people.

On a high Sabbath we are commanded NOT to do any secular or servile work – we should take leave from our employment and not engage in anything to do with our employment.  Also no shopping, no chores around the house or garden, etc.

We should devote the day to the service of Yah, praise and worship, ministry, reading inspired writings, contemplating what Yah did for Israel in Egypt and through Yahooshua for us now to deliver us from spiritual Egypt.

Passover is for the remembrance of how Yah brought the children of Israel out of Egypt and delivered them from the oppression of Pharaoh.  It is also a remembrance of what Yahooshua did at Passover and how he suffered to make a way for us to be delivered from sin individually and without any other human intervention.

Exodus 11 to 13 describes the specific event, Exodus through to 11 describes the lead up and context to the judgment of Yah on the firstborn of Egypt and subsequent chapters describe the Exodus itself – you might want to read through to Exodus 20 where Yah delivers the Ten Commandments from the Mountain, the only time recorded that I know of where Yah has audibly spoken to millions of people.  He then wrote the Commandments IN STONE – so they will NEVER CHANGE.

The tablets of stone with the Ten Commandments were found about thirty years ago by Ron Wyatt in the Ark of the Covenant, under the execution site where Yahooshua died, with the PHYSICAL blood of Yahooshua on the Mercy Seat of the Ark – necessary for a new sacrifice for atonement of sin and for a new Priesthood.

You might also like to read Exodus 34; Leviticus 23; Numbers 9, 28 and 33 and  Deuteronomy 16.

The other important passages are Matthew 26 to the end of Matthew, Mark 14 to the end, Luke 22 to the end and John 12 to the end which describe the lead up to Yahooshua {Jesus} sacrificial death.

Consider how Yahooshua lived a life without sin, that is without leaven, consider how, knowing how he would die, he CHOSE to come to earth, chose to go up to Jerusalem, chose to go out to the garden and CHOSE TO SUBMIT to those who unjustly tormented him, tortured him and executed him – and ask yourself whether YOU are willing to be that obedient to Yah.

For some years now I have observed Passover by eating a piece of plain roast lamb for the evening meal together with observing the covenant – the bread and wine and reflecting on what Yah and Yahooshua have done for me and giving thanks accordingly.

I usually spend the day itself as described above.

The rest of the Feast of Unleavened Bread are normal working days.  I do not eat unleavened bread but I do take the covenant meal every morning and reflect on sin (leaven speaks of sin) and ask Yah to cleanse me and my house of sin – it is up to each of us to seek Yah as to how He wants us to observe Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Conclusion

Contemplate what Passover means to you, give thanks and rededicate yourself to the service of Yah and chose to seek to be as faithful as Yahooshua was.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

Early this year I sent out Yah's calendar for the year and urged you to set aside the relevant days that are Sabbaths

That article is repeated at the end of this email and the Qodesh ministries calendar is again appended

Yah has appointed certain feasts and certain fasts in terms of His calendar and most things of significance on the earth in terms of actions by Yah tie in to that calendar in some shape or form

It is absolutely vital to become aware of and observe these set apart {holy} days, firstly as an act of love towards Yah and secondly as an act of obedience if you fear judgment

Next Tuesday, the 19th of April, is the day of Passover -- starting at sunset on the 18th of April -- say 18h00

This is the day that the Hebrews in Egypt killed the Passover lamb and painted the blood on the doorposts and lintels of their houses in order that the messenger {angel} of death which killed the firstborn of Egypt should pass over their houses

This is also the day that Yahooshua {Jesus} was betrayed and executed to introduce a new covenant in terms of which we could take a cup of wine or grape juice and have it represent the blood of the covenant lamb {Yahooshua} for forgiveness of sin

It is a HIGH SABBATH

We are required to observe this Sabbath strictly

You should do no work or commerce on this day and should take leave if you are in salaried employment and not schedule business if you work for yourself

You should spend the day in contemplation of the things of the Almighty, give thanks for the sacrifice of Yahooshua, worship, read appropriate books and other material and generally devote the day from sunset to sunset to the service of the Almighty

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

Yah's calendar for 2011

by

James Robertson

In several messages I have made the point that the current calendar bears no relation to Yah's calendar and is based on pagan dates and beliefs and is therefore of Satan.

Herewith please find a copy of the Qodesh Books calendar which is available free of charge at www.qodesh.co.za

After much prayer and research a few years ago I concluded that this is the most reliable calendar, you will find that other calendars may disagree slightly with this calendar and you will have to pray for yourself as to which days to observe, I observe these.

Critical dates are:

1.   Start of Yah's year -- New Moon on Tuesday 5 April 2011 -- Yah dates most things that He does according to this calendar.

2.   Day of Passover (Hebrew = Pesach) -- Tuesday 19 April 2011 -- high Sabbath -- no work or commerce -- when Yahooshua was executed, when Yah killed the firstborn in Egypt.

3.   Wednesday 20 to Tuesday 26 April -- unleavened bread -- in the Covenant through Moshe {Moses} commanded to clear the house of yeast and only eat unleavened bread -- I have done this once but do not have a conviction to do it again -- I believe we should seek to examine ourselves with regard to sin and reflect on the covenant through Yahooshua.  As I have it, it is permissible to work and engage in commerce during this week.

4.   Day of Pentecost (Hebrew = Shavuot) -- Sunday 12 June high Sabbath -- no work or commerce -- set apart {holy} Spirit poured out in Acts 2 and Yah appeared to the children of Israel on the mountain at Sinai and gave the Ten Commandments.

5.   Day of Trumpets (Hebrew = Yom Teruah) -- Thursday 29 September -- high Sabbath -- sounding of the Shofar (Ram's horn trumpet).

6.   Day of Atonement (Hebrew = Yom Kippur) -- Saturday 8 October -- highest Sabbath of the year -- total fast -- abstain from food and liquids from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday -- this is the day that the High Priest used to go into the most set apart {holy} place and when the offering for atonement for sins that were not known was made -- no work and no commerce.

7.   First day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Hebrew = Sukkot) -- Thursday 13 October -- high Sabbath -- no work or commerce -- a celebration and feast -- commanded to live in booths during this period -- I have not felt convicted to do this -- it is widely held that Yahooshua was born on this day.

8.   Friday 14 October to Wednesday 19 October -- Feast of Tabernacles continues -- I have it that it is in order to work and engage in commerce during this period.

9.   Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles -- Thursday 20 October -- high Sabbath -- no work or commerce -- feast -- held that Yahooshua was circumcised on this day.

There are other Jewish days that are NOT contained in the book {bible}.  I have it that Yah does NOT require us to observe them.

In my experience, since becoming aware of this calendar and starting to observe it nearly eleven years ago I have found that where Yah has done major things in the world they almost always correspond to this calendar.

In my experience it is very important and greatly uplifting to scrupulously observe this calendar as an act of love toward our loving Daddy in Heaven.

I encourage you to diarize these dates, where necessary take leave from work and plan your year around these dates.

If you no longer observe christmas then Tabernacles is a good day to have a feast and a party and give gifts but NOT using pagan methods, asherah {christmas trees}, decorations, etc

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
