The Nasoreans and the Karaites are celebrating the Feast of Shavuot today. This marks the Fiftieth Day after Pesach, or Passover. It is exactly one day after seven weeks. Why would this fiftieth day be important? First, the spiritual ladder to heaven has fifty steps corresponding to the Jubilee, which is the fiftieth year in a group of seven weeks of years. The Jubilee is a time for returning to one's roots. It is a time for forgiveness of debts. Second, it was in ancient times the amount of time it took for crops planted before Pesach to produce their first fruits. The first fruits are special because they had to be given to G-d.
The theme then of Shavuot is first fruits. It is a pilgrim feast, one of three -- Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkoth. A pilgrim feast was one in which the men had to appear before G-d at the Place where he resided. On the fiftieth day after the first Pesach, Moses delivered the Commandments, those 613 precepts included in the Torah, which were written on two tablets of stone. They are the covenant or treaty between the Jews and G-d. Placed in the Ark of the Covenant, these precepts rest under the feet of the Archangel as the symbol of the covenant. So the Torah is the first fruits of the Passover and the Freedom of the Hebrews from bondage.
After the crucifixion of Yeshua ha Meshiach, fifty days elapsed and the Three Pillars, the College of Apostles, the Great Sanhedrin, and the Supreme Council of the Church were met together in the same room in which the last Pesach of Yeshua was celebrated. There appeared in the room tongues of fire that rested on the heads of those present and they heard a rushing sound. At the mountain when Moses delivered the Torah, the Jews had asked that G-d no longer speak to them directly, but only through prophets. On Shavuot in that year after Yeshua's death, G-d reversed that request and began to speak to the Jews and all mankind directly again, and it has not stopped. This communication with mankind no longer was just through the written covenant; now it was through a direct spoken truth. Like Adam, we could walk with the Archangel again. And Yeshua was that Archangel that we were walking with.
Shavuot is a time of rejoicing for Nasoreans because we know that we were the recipients of the gifts of that Shavuot after Yeshua died. But even more we know that now that the Christian era has gone full cycle, we are returning to the place we began. Again, we see that Melchizedek, in the person of Yeshua, has returned just as he was promised in Yeshua's day. We acknowledge that Yeshua, the seventh incarnation of the Archangel of the Presence, is our Lord, our El, and that he is King of the Elohim. We are confident that more and more of the dispersed children of Ya'akov will hear our call and the 150,000,000 descendants of Ya'akov will join together, that is, 12,000,000 Jews and 138,000,000 Hebrews, to form the new remnant called home at the time of gathering.
Having come full circle, we are forming the twelve tribes that surround the Tabernacle (Mishkan) in the desert and constitute the living temple of G-d. We like brides await the coming of Ezekiel's temple fully formed, but until it descends we continue to have an impermanent Place to call home. We believe that despite the laws that the Jordanian government has put into effect, the Ark of the Covenant, the Mishkan, and the Altar of Incense will be found soon and the Temple on Earth will be reformed.
When will Meshiach come again? It is not clear, but reason says in the 6,000 year and that is 232 years from now. Some say that it will happen on December 21, 2012. Who knows? Not even the Meshiach knows. But the Temple in the person of the faithful stones is here already and this day celebrates the continued presence of Our Lady, the Holy Spirit among us.
Maranatha.
