The Appointed Day: The Feast of Bikkurim and the Promise of Resurrection!

In the divine calendar of God’s appointed times, Bikkurim (Firstfruits) holds a mystery that stretches from the fields of Israel to the empty tomb in Jerusalem. This feast was celebrated “on the day after the Sabbath” following Passover (Leviticus 23:11) — what we now see as the eighth day, the day of new creation. While the nation of Israel brought their first sheaf of barley to the priest to be lifted before the Lord, giving thanks for the beginning of the harvest, something eternal was taking place beyond the veil of time: Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah rose from the grave.

Shemini Atzeret and the Jubilee — The Great Release of the Eighth

In God’s divine calendar, everything moves in rhythms of seven — seven days, seven weeks, seven years, and seven cycles of years. Yet when a cycle of sevens reaches its completion, something extraordinary happens: a new beginning emerges — the eighth.

Read on – your spirit will be uplifted.

The Pattern of Breakthrough — Stepping Into the Eternal Rhythm!

As we continue this deep dive into Shemini Atzeret, the “Eighth Day,” it’s worth pausing to look back over the divine pattern that has led us here. The Feast of Tabernacles is a celebration of completion — seven days of rejoicing, fullness, and harvest. But Shemini Atzeret is something different. It’s the eighth day, the day that stands beyond the seven — beyond time, beyond cycles, beyond the natural order. It is God’s invitation to linger, to step out of the familiar rhythm of man into the eternal rhythm of heaven.

The Birth of the Spirit in the Upper Room — The Covenant Written on Hearts!

Fifteen centuries after the fire of Sinai, on the very same feast — Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks — the heavens opened again. The disciples waited in the upper room, hearts steady but expectant, obeying Yeshua’s (Jesus’) command to “wait for the promise of the Father.” Suddenly, the sound of a rushing mighty wind filled the place, tongues of fire appeared, and the Holy Spirit descended. The same God who once descended in flame upon a mountain now descended in flame upon men.

Shemini Atzeret – The Eighth Day Stop!

This is the first of a new series that I’ve not fully planned out yet, but one that I feel compelled to spend significant time unpacking — because Shemini Atzeret is the culmination of all the Feasts of the Lord. It’s the grand finale, the moment everything has been leading to — and the irony is, most believers have never even heard of it! Yet it’s one of the most profound and prophetic days in all of Scripture.

The Arm that Rules!

The Hebrew phrase “z’roah moshel lo” paints the picture of an arm that governs with both strength and care. The same Z’roah that brought Israel out of Egypt in power now establishes righteous order and sustains His people in love. Deliverance without rulership is incomplete; the Redeemer becomes the King — and the King rules as a Shepherd. The Arm does not act independently but moves in perfect submission to the Head, carrying out the will of the Father.
