Chag Sukkot: the Feast of Tabernacles explains how the Pilgrimage Feast of Tabernacles symbolized the consummation and the week-long wedding feast in the ancient Hebrew wedding. And it also shows many prophetic fulfillments of this feast, both in the past, and in the future, and also right now (today). (Warning: this study is only for those who want to be taken as Yeshua’s Proverbs 31 bride!)

This study explains how the Messiah Yeshua traditionally comes for His bride on Yom Kippur in the Ancient Hebrew Wedding model–and how we should behave in the meantime, so that when He comes He will find delight in us as His Proverbs 31 bride.
This video explains how the Messiah Yeshua traditionally comes for His bride on Yom Kippur in the Ancient Hebrew Wedding model–and how we should behave in the meantime, so that when He comes He will find delight in us as His Proverbs 31 bride.

This video describes how the Day of Shouting or Yom Teruah is celebrated, as well as its significance in the ancient Hebrew wedding pattern, and how it is related to our Messiah Yeshua and Israel.
This video explains why the feasts of Yahweh are prophetic shadow pictures of the wedding ceremony between Yahweh Elohim and His bride. It also shows how we as Yeshua’s faithful are to prepare for the marriage ceremony in between Pentecost (Shavuot) and Tabernacles (Sukkot).
This chapter explains why the seventh day Sabbath remains the day of weekly worship, even after Yeshua’s resurrection.
This chapter explains the importance of the Wave Sheaf (Omer) and the Pentecost (Shavuot), and how they are properly observed. It also explains the flaws in several other popular theories.
This study shows how some Messianic aviv barley search groups follow a false doctrine of “qualifying their barley fields”, and why this doctrine is wrong.
This chapter explains how Rosh HaShanah (the Head of the Year) is properly determined, according to Torah. It also explains why the Omer (Wave Sheaf) is symbolic of Yeshua.
In this study we explain how the (Karaite) doctrine of “Harvestable Fields” is born of a spirit that wants to deny Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah–and how this leads to all kinds of problems and distortions in the calendar. Please join us in praying for them.
This study explores why Josephus disagrees with the Talmud regarding the Wave Sheaf Offering (or the Omer), as well as why the Karaites (Sadducees) claim not to follow the Talmud, but secretly do.
This study explains why many Karaites and Messianic believers are unwittingly practicing sun worship by “waiting for spring” before keeping the Passover, even when the barley is aviv (medium dough). It also explains how, if you believe the Passover cannot take place in winter, or if you feel you must “wait for spring” before celebrating the Passover, then you are unwittingly practicing sun worship, as “waiting for spring” or “waiting for the Spring Equinox” is not commanded anywhere in Scripture.
This study explains why we do not use the Karaite Aviv Barley sightings.
This study explains how four calendar systems (the Rabbinic Jewish, the Equinox, the Lunar Sabbath, and the Karaite calendars) all want to begin their calendar year after the Spring Equinox–and how this requirement does not exist in Scripture. It also shows why the Passover can take place before the Spring Equinox.
This study explains the annual Aviv barley inspections in simple terms so that anyone can know how Nazarene Israel qualifies the witnesses to the Aviv barley.

A collection of Matzah (Unleavened Bread) Recipes
Explains from Scripture the picture of redemption in Messiah Yeshua inherent in the aviv barley.
In The Torah Calendar we talk about how to establish the New Moon Day (called Rosh Chodesh, or the Head of the Month). We also saw that the first new moon day of the year is called Rosh HaShanah (or the Head of the Year). The Head of the Year is a very special day, […]
In the previous chapters we saw how Yahweh wanted the first Passover held, and we also saw how Israel held the Passover in the land. In other studies we also saw how Yahweh broke Avraham’s seed up into three distinct groups (Ephraim, Judah, and Ishmael), so as to leaven the whole lump called earth. Mattityahu […]
In the last chapter we saw how the original Passover helped prepare the children of Israel to leave Egypt (i.e., the world), and go to the land of Israel. We also saw how Shaul tells us the festivals are still prophetic shadow pictures of coming events. Because of these things, we still see the Passover […]
In the chapter on Hanukkah we discuss why Yeshua was probably born on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, otherwise known as the Feast of Booths, or Sukkot. But why does Yahweh command us to hold the Feast of Sukkot? What is the significance? What are we to learn from it? In Hebraic […]
The Revelation story has given us a rich perspective from which we can analyze the trends affecting us today. Yet, to see the big picture and analyze the trends most effectively, let us review from the beginning. As we explain in Nazarene Israel, Adam and Havvah (Eve) fell from Yahweh’s favor because they chose to […]
One year in seven, Yom Kippur falls on the day before the weekly Sabbath (preparation day). There are some special things to watch for in such years, so we can obey Yahweh’s laws, and still have hot, fresh food for our family on the Sabbath following Yom Kippur. First the basics. As we explain in […]
The tenth day of the seventh month is called by several names, but it is usually called Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. However, the Torah actually calls it Yom HaKippurim (יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים), or ‘The Day of the Atonements (plural).’ The Day of the Atonements is the most set-apart day of our year. Yahweh […]
In The Torah Calendar, we show how Yahweh wants us to keep a 50 year Jubilee cycle (rather than a 49 year cycle), as He says in Leviticus 25:10. Vayiqra (Leviticus) 25:8-10 8 ‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of […]
When Israel was in Egypt, Yahweh told Israel to keep the Passover by taking a lamb on the tenth of the month, and then offering it up on the afternoon of the fourteenth. Our forefathers were to sacrifice their lambs in the mid-afternoon, and apply the blood to their doorposts. Then they were to eat […]
This study explains why it is not necessary to set the head of the year according to the vernal equinox (and indeed, why it is wrong to do so). When we live in the land of Israel, all Israelite males must come up to Jerusalem three times a year; and Yahweh says not to appear […]
In The Torah Calendar study we explain the calendar Yahweh tells us to keep in Scripture. One thing we see is that the days begin at evening. This can be seen by the simple fact that Genesis 1 tells us the evening and the morning constitute a day. B’reisheet (Genesis) 1:19 19 So the evening […]
At the time of this writing, Nazarene Israel is in the dispersion. Since neither the Tanach (“Old” Covenant) nor the Brit Chadasha (Renewed Covenant) address what to do in the dispersion, it can be difficult to know what to do. Matters are made worse by the rabbinical traditions, most of which directly contradict Yahweh’s words. […]
Scripture says that Yahweh will do nothing without telling His servants the prophets. Are you sure you are celebrating the days of worship that the Father left His people? For more information, read this study
We saw earlier how the Head of the Year should be declared when the first crescent sliver of the new moon is physically sighted from the Land of Israel, after the barley in the Land of Israel has become Aviv. The declaration of the Head of the Year establishes the timing of all the Feasts […]
