This document discusses the biblical holy days that God established for the Israelites. These holy days included Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Booths. The holy days served to remind the Israelites of God's works, provide times to meet with God, and were prophetic pictures of God's unfolding plan. Jesus fulfilled the meaning and purpose of several of these holy days through his life, death, and resurrection. Leviticus teaches about God's holiness and requirements for fellowship with him through sacrifices and rituals, which pointed ahead to the perfect work and permanent sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
A presentation focusing on Jesus & the Spirit in the Gospel according to St. John. Also, a consideration of how John's portrayal of Jesus and the Spirit contributed to the development of the doctrine of the Trinity.
This is my talk to the public at St Mary's Church (Twickenham), which explore the Christian views on Jesus of Nazareth, soon proclaimed as the "Son of God" and much later (the Creed of the Nicaea in 325 CE) as "begotten from the substance of the Father". At the end people were encouraged to ask questions

This is Part 2 in the Series to bring the remnant back to YAWEH. Originally I was going to compare the Feasts of YAWEH to the Feasts of the Beast. But, there is just too much a person whould know about the Feasts of YAWEH and I decided to dedicate part 2 on the Feasts of YAWEH. Get out of the feasts of the beasts and return to ABBA.
Easter vs Passover The Battle continuesAnthony Bravo
An updated version of Easter vs Passover with much more weight on the front end of the Power point. My prayer is to guide believers away from Semiramis, Nimrod and their illegitimate son Tammuz and and guide them towards Yeshua our Messiah HaMoshiach!
There are two Messiahs running around in the churches. One claims the Ten Commandments are done away with, the other one came back to restore the people of Israel back to Yahweh's Commandments. Which one do you serve?
Most people acknowledge that x-mas is pagan, but where is the proof? This presentation not only brings forth the Biblical truth but also gives the historical proof of what this false festival really celebrates. Return to Yaweh, enjoy and Repent!

There are many people out there who want to start keeping the Feasts of YaHuWaH, but they don't know where to start.
Many write to me asking about how they can keep the Passover without attending a Jewish Synagogue.
Well, here is the answer! I have put together a Renewed Covenant Passover Haggadah in English for beginners and I have removed all traditions that do not line up with scripture.
Also, the Haggadah has the true name of the Father, YaHuWaH and the son Yahuwshuwa ha'Mashiyach!
The second lesson considering figurative language and God’s order (first natural, then spiritual) focusing our attention on the bread from heaven (manna and Jesus) and the eating of His flesh, which leads us to consider the communion. We’ll find that in partaking of the bread and fruit of the vine we share with Christ. Like baptism, the supper may involve physical elements, but has a spiritual significance.

A presentation prepared for Catholic RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) introducing the Catholic understanding of the meaning and Biblical sources for Holy Week liturgies and commemorations.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

care in the wilderness.
29. Feast of Booths

– Two ceremonies were part of the
last day:
• 2. People carrying torches marched around the
temple, then set these lights around the walls of
the temple, symbolizing how Messiah would be a
light to the Gentiles.
30. Feast of Booths
• Yeshua (Jesus)
– When Jesus
attended this feast,
on the last day,
he said, “If anyone
is thirsty, let him
come to me and drink. Whoever believes in
me …streams of living water will flow from
within him” (John 7:37-38).
31. Feast of Booths
• Yeshua (Jesus)
– The next morning,
while the torches were
still burning, he said,
“I am the light of the
world. Whoever follows
me will never walk in
darkness, but will have
the light of life” (John 8:12).
32. Feast of Booths
• Yeshua (Jesus)
– This feast represents the final harvest when all
nations will share in the joy and blessings of
God’s kingdom.
– During that time, all believers will celebrate
this feast (Zechariah 14:16).
33. Final thoughts on the Holy Days
– Some believe the four spring holidays –Passover,
Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Weeks–were
fulfilled in Messiah’s first coming.
– The three autumn holidays–Trumpets, Day of
Atonement, and Booths–will be fulfilled at his
second coming.
34. 4. Covenant. God PROMISES
to pour out his blessings to
those who kept his commands.
35. 5. Leviticus anticipates the
perfect work CHRIST would
accomplish. Christ fulfills the
demands of the law. The rituals
cannot actually remove sin.
Christ’s sacrifice was
permanent and perfect.
Editor's Notes
Since the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, the sacrifice has no longer been part of this holiday.
