Shalom and Happy Sabbath to everyone here still honoring Yahweh's Seventh Day Sabbath! In case you do not know, many Sabbath keepers were persecuted for keeping the Seventh Day (instead of the first day!) down through history. These were not moon phase days but Saturdays! King Constatine was one of the first rulers to do this.
My hubby Janos (John in Hungarian) and I are trying to recover from a terrible virus that we have heard is causing a lot of illness around here. We had not been sick for many years and this particular bad bug is even attacking my spirit!    
Teaching Yahweh's truths is what I want to do until my last breath. How about you?
This Roman year I am thinking is a Sabbatical year. Why? First, this Hebrew year is evenly divided by 7.  I keep thinking that we are very close to the end of the 6000 years ~ but just where in that time frame? Second, all of the fruit trees here are just covered with fruit!    Even the pine trees are covered with pine cones! May 15, 2008 is the 60th birthday of reborn Israel. I believe that Yahshua will return on some Day of Atonement. It seems to me that if it will be this year or even next ~ we will see great prophetic movement this Abib! I understand that the Pope plans to visit Washington around this Passover time.  
Yesterday, we received a notice from the government that they will start sending out those $600.00 freebies this May. Something in my spirit tells me that is just not going to happen!  My spirit does tell me that many concentration camps here in America are already set up, manned, and ready for use! I find this very sad coming from the government that gave us 9/11!
Our only safety is belief on Yahshua, the Only Son of Yahweh.  Teach as many as you can while you still can!    Jayna

I suggest another reading of Foxes (New) Book of Martyrs. It puts a different light on the subject, and one we all need to be aware of.

I attend a local church that advertises its self as being "Apostolic" in their belief system (a group of really wonderful people), but they have no clue as to what an apostolic style/type of worship/fellowship gathering is all about. I have suggested a course in church history and the foundational principles of the Christian (Messianic) faith in order to become more aware of our religious, cultural and historical heritage. These suggestions that have been made over the past year have been met with something less than what I would identify as enthusiasm.

On another forum I posted the following comment early last week:

    While everyone is preparing to celebrate Easter, I am preparing to celebrate Purim (Remember the book of Esther?). Pesach (Passover) is not for another month yet. So, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus a full month before He was crucified seems a little silly to me. Or, am I the only one who thinks that there is something wrong with that picture?

    Anyway, according to our calendar, this year Resurrection Sunday (Easter) falls on Monday, April 28th. For me, I plan to celebrate this event with some Messianic friends. Then, there is the counting of the Omer! Now, that is always real challenge! Enjoy! 

-------------------------

Added note: The best I have come up with so far is that Resurrection Day (the resurrection taking place during the first daylight hour after the start of the day after Pesach) and is always counted as the first day of the first week of counting the Omer - these weeks being counted independent of calendars. That means that Shavuot will start on the evening of June 8th (6 Sivan), and being "fully come" on June 9th, followed by a seventh day lunar Shabbat

Hope all of that makes sense.    :

Hey Art, Thanks for carrying the ball on this one - and others too. 

Shalom, Eliyahu
