The Day Of New Beginnings

What is the best day ever?

Some of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) would say, that it was the day that they submitted to the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) in total surrender, and came into the House of Truth.  I could say, it will be the day when I breath my last, because that will be the moment I become alive.  Some of the Children of Truth would say, that the best day ever, will the day that the Man of Truth takes off of the Earth, those who heeded the warning of, "People get ready!".  Others would say, that day of the Return of the King, is best day ever, because it is so good that they can say "Bring it on!", about the Tribulation, in order to get to that day.

Yet there is another day that is better than any of those days.  It is the Day of New Beginnings.

The Day of New Beginnings is foreshadow by events that occur on the eighth day, for the eighth day is the beginning of a new week, and signifies a new beginning.

In the Everlasting Covenant, that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) made with Abraham (Abram), concerning the Promised Land and the salvation of the Gentiles, every male descendant of the original camp of Abraham, who participated in the covenant, was to be circumcised, on the eighth day, as a sign of the new beginning, that covenant made for all of mankind (Genesis 17:10-14).  For this reason, Isaac (Yitzhak) was circumcised, on the eighth day, because he was a new beginning, for the family of Abraham (Genesis 21:4).  The eighth day, continued to be the day that every Israeli boy was to be circumcised, when the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) was given to Moses (Moishe), because that covenant was a new beginning, for the people of Israel (Leviticus 12:2-3).  When John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikveh Man) was circumcised, on the eighth day, his father Zacharias was no longer mute, but had a new beginning, where he was filled with the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost), and prophesied (Luke 1:59-67).  In like manner, the Man of Truth was given his name, on the eighth day, when he was circumcised, because all of mankind would get a new beginning, through him (Luke 2:21).  When Isaac was circumcised, on the eighth day, he was also the means of a new beginning, for the human race, through a new nation, that would come through his son Israel (Ya'acob aka Jacob) (Acts 7:8).  In like manner, Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) was circumcised, on the eighth day, who was the chief proclaimer of the new beginning, for the Gentiles, that came through the Man of Truth (Philippians 3:3-5).

The eighth day, is prescribed for circumcision, because circumcision is a new beginning, whereby a man is counted as a Jew, and no longer as a Gentile (Galatians 2:7-9).

Just like circumcision, the first fruits of any animal could not be offered, until it was eight days old, because the first born marked a new beginning, for the herd or flock through a new generation (Exodus 22:29-30).   A free will offering could not be given, until the eighth day of life, because it marked a new beginning, in the relationship between the giver and the Father of Truth (Leviticus 22:26-29).

This new beginning in relationship, was marked on the eighth day, when the Tabernacle was finished being consecrated, and the glory of the Father of Truth appeared in this portable meeting place (Leviticus 9:1-6).  The new beginning of a permanent meeting place, the Temple in Jerusalem, was marked as finished being consecrated, on the eighth day, as well (1 Kings 8:62-66).  The very night following the dedication of the Temple, on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), the Father of Truth appeared to Solomon, and promised a new beginning, for anyone, who would repent with their whole heart (2 Chronicles 7:8-14).  There was a new beginning, for people of Israel meeting with the Father of Truth at the first Temple again, when it was rededicated, on the eighth day, during the time of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 29:15-17).  There was a new beginning, of meeting with the Father of Truth at the Temple, when the dedication of the second Temple was finished, on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, during the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 8:14-18).  There will be a new beginning, for the sacrifices in the Temple, at the beginning of the Millennium, when the altar will finish being consecrated, on the eighth day (Ezekiel 43:25-27).

In like manner, a person who is healed of leprosy, will have a new beginning, as a clean person, on the eighth day, of being healed (Leviticus 14:2-11).  It is on the eighth day, that this new beginning, as a clean person, is marked by anointing the person cleansed of leprosy (Leviticus 14:23-32).  In the same manner, anyone who is healed of any ongoing issue of bodily fluids, will have a new beginning, as a clean person, on the eighth day, of being healed (Leviticus 15:13-15).  Also a woman, who has an issue of blood that lasts beyond her normal monthly period, will have an new beginning, as a clean woman, on the eighth day, of being healed (Leviticus 15:25-30).  Also, anyone who takes a Nazarite vow, who is then made unclean, by someone dying suddenly in their presence, will have a new beginning, as a Nazarite, on the eighth day, after being defiled (Numbers 6:2-12).

Similarly on the eighth day, after telling the twelve original Apostles of Truth that he would die and rise again, he showed three of them, that he was the new beginning, that was foreshadowed by Moses and Elijah (Eliyahu) (Luke 9:22-35).  Then on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the last and great day of the feast, the Man of Truth told all of Israel, that he was bringing a new beginning, where the Spirit of Truth would live in the Children of Truth (John 7:37-39).  On the eighth day, after the Man of Truth rose again from the dead, he showed himself to Thomas the Jew (Toma aka Didymus aka the Apostle Thomas), to remove all doubt that he had brought about, a new beginning, whereby everyone in the human race, could be made clean from sin (John 20:26-31).

All of these events foreshadow the Day of New Beginnings, but it is the Feast of Tabernacles that best tells about the Day of New Beginnings.

The Feast of Tabernacles ends with a Sabbath, on the eighth day, of this Feast of Truth (Moedim aka Feasts of the Father of Truth) (Leviticus 23:34-37).  It marks the end of dwelling in booths (tabernacles) in the presence of the Father of Truth (Leviticus 23:39-42).  On the seventh day, the count down of bullocks offered has been completed, but on the eighth day, there is only one bullock, and half as many rams and lambs, because it marks the day of new beginnings (Numbers 29:12-36).

The Feast of Tabernacles is also known as the ingathering, that marks the end of the agricultural year (Exodus 23:16).  This feasts marks the end of the harvest of the grapes, instead of marking the beginning of the harvest of grains, like First Fruits (Bikkurim) and Pentecost (Shavuot) (Exodus 34:22).  The earth (land) is to be given a rest every seventh year, that begins after the grapes had been harvested, at the end of the six year (Leviticus 25:2-5).  The Feast of Tabernacles only occurs at the end of the grape harvest, and is marked by rejoicing that harvest for that year is coming to a close (Deuteronomy 16:13-15).  Since the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles is not a Sabbath day, and harvesting can still occur on that day, then the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. of the sixth year, that is a Sabbath when all work ceases, is the first day of rest for the earth (land) that begins the year of year of rest.  So the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, is the day of new beginnings, for the earth (land).

Not only is the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, that ends the sixth year, the day of new beginnings for the land, but it is also the day of new beginnings for the Children of Truth.  Every dept is to be wiped out in the seventh year, when the land rests, and every Child of Truth is to go free in that year (Deuteronomy 15:1-18).  This new beginning, starts on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, that ends the sixth year and begins the seventh year when the land rests (Deuteronomy 31:10).   So the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, is the day of new beginnings, for the Children of Truth.

You see the Feasts of Truth all work together to tell an amazing story.  The Feast of Tabernacles is the final act in the Greatest Play Ever and the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles is the grand finale, not just of the final act, but of the entire play.  The Feast of Tabernacles involves the entire human race, and for this reason every nation will have to come to Jerusalem, and observe it during the reign of the Man of Truth (Zechariah 14:16-19).

The Man of Truth understood what the Feast of Tabernacles represented, and knew that it could not truly be kept, until the time came when the people of Israel accepted him as the Messiah of Israel (John 7:2-8).  He also understood that the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, represented the Day of New Beginnings.

The seven days of dwelling in booths, represents the complete reign of the Man of Truth, over the Earth for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-6).  After a thousand years of peace and prosperity is completed, then the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) will be released for a short while, to expose all who secretly despise the reign of the Man of Truth (Revelation 20:7-9).  After the human race is finally purged, of the very last rebels against the Father of Truth, then all rebels against the Father of Truth, from all time, will be resurrected, and cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10-15).  It will be the end of all trouble that marks the sunset of this universe, and the start of the Day of New Beginnings.

The Day of New Beginnings, is day when the Father of Truth will make the Earth to be brand new again, and all of the Children of Truth will never again, remember the troubles of this Earth (Isaiah 65:16-18).  In this New Earth, everyone will come to be in His prescence at the end of each week, and the beginning of each month (Isaiah 66:22-23).  In the Day of New Beginnings, this entire universe will melt away, and be replaced with a New Universe, where only those who do what He says is right, will live (2 Peter 3:10-13).  The Day of New Beginnings, will be the day, when the Father of Truth begins to live among the human race on a New Earth, and brings an end to every cause of sorrow, for the Children of Truth (Revelation 21:1-4).

The Day of New Beginnings, will be the day that the Earth begins to enjoy an eternal rest from the decay, that comes from sin.  The Day of New Beginnings, will be the day that the human race is finally free forever, from the bondage of sin.  The Day of New Beginnings, will be a new beginning for the Earth, the universe, and the Children of Truth.  It will be the best day ever!

The Day of New Beginnings, will only be the best day ever, for those who come into the House of Truth.  For everyone else, it will be the worst day ever.  The Day of New Beginnings, can only come after the end of all trouble, and that will be a very bad day, for everyone who is not in the House of Truth.

You do not need to wait a thousand years, for the Day of New Beginnings, to have a new beginning.  You can come into the House of Truth, and experience freedom from the bondage of sin, today (John 8:34-36).  You can come into the House of Truth today, by surrendering your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe, that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  When you come into the House of Truth, you will have a new beginning, as a Child of Truth, and your old life will pass away (2 Corinthians 5:17).  The Father of Truth has delayed, the Day of New Beginnings, so that as many people as possible, can come into the House of Truth (2 Peter 3:7-9).  The Man of Truth wants you to come into the House of Truth, so that he can make all things new for you, on the Day of New Beginnings (Revelation 21:5-7).  The Spirit of Truth is urging you to come into the House of Truth, so that you will be able to say, that the Day of New Beginnings, is the best day ever (Revelation 22:17)!

Come into the House of Truth!
