Caption transcript for “The Seven Feasts”

00:10 ♪♪♪ David Hart: We are so glad you've joined us today.
00:12 We have some hot topics to bring you today and also I think we
00:16 may even have some special guests coming, yes?
00:17 Kirsten Hart: In this program?
00:19 Caleb Colson: Oh, it's gonna be interesting.
00:20 This is, like, the classic Jewish staple program
00:23 on the seven feasts of the Lord.
00:24 David: Love it.
00:26 Joshua Colson: See, if you watch our program online you get
00:28 to see these very long episodes with very detailed explanations
00:31 but, obviously, television we're shortened to smaller segments,
00:34 so we're going back over a very popular classic teaching so that
00:38 y'all guys can be introduced to some of the things that people
00:41 have already seen online.
00:43 Caleb: Yeah, Pesach, Passover, and the Spring Feasts
00:45 of Israel, the feasts that Yeshua fulfilled, and you're
00:49 going to enjoy this because there are some
00:51 extra family members involved.
00:53 This was shot during the height of COVID, during the lockdown,
00:56 so we had a nice family Passover Special just for you.
01:00 Josh: Hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
01:02 Caleb: And I'm Caleb. Josh: We're brothers.
01:03 Caleb: That's true.
01:05 Josh: Now, this is a little awkward for me because,
01:07 generally, the producers of our show are much older.
01:10 It looks as though I'm staring into one of those, like, those
01:12 apps where it shows you as a baby because a couple
01:15 of these kids look like me.
01:17 Caleb: There's a lot of little kids here, and we have
01:19 bigger kids running our camera.
01:21 This is our family. Josh: Hi, big kids.
01:23 Caleb: We decided to have the family Passover Special.
01:26 Okay, so in the book of Exodus, God sends Moses to the Pharaoh
01:31 because the children of Israel were in bondage.
01:34 They were slaves for 400 years so God says,
01:35 "Moses, go to the Pharaoh--"
01:37 Josh: "Let my people go."
01:40 Caleb: --and say, "Let my people go."
01:42 Josh: That's what he said to him.
01:43 Caleb: He did, he said that. But the Pharaoh said to Moses--
01:45 Josh: "Let my people stay." Caleb: Didn't happen that way.
01:49 Josh: It was kind of like that, though.
01:51 Caleb: But he said, "No, you're not going anywhere."
01:53 So, God was sending plagues, okay?
01:55 He sent ten plagues on Egypt.
01:58 Does anybody know any of the plagues that God sent on Egypt?
02:02 Zi?
02:06 Josh: Yes, the plague of silence.
02:07 No, not the plague. Caleb: Mi?
02:09 Mi: Frogs? Caleb: Frogs, yeah.
02:10 Josh: Yeah, good one. Caleb: In?
02:12 In: He also sent-- Zi: Flies.
02:15 Caleb: Flies, very good.
02:18 boy: The death angel. Caleb: Death angel.
02:21 Okay, that's what I was looking for, the death angel.
02:24 So the last plague was the death angel, so that's why God said,
02:26 "You gotta kill this lamb."
02:28 A baby lamb, the sweet little baby lamb.
02:30 Josh: Cute cuddly ones, the ones that y'all guys see in books.
02:33 Caleb: I know, he's so soft and fuzzy.
02:34 Josh: But it was for a good purpose, don't worry.
02:36 Caleb: "And you're gonna take that blood and you're gonna
02:38 apply it to the door posts of your home so that when the death
02:41 angel came to kill the firstborn of any animal or human in all of
02:44 Egypt, he wouldn't kill the Israelites."
02:47 They would be protected, weren't they, Josh?
02:49 Josh: They would be so protected.
02:51 Caleb: And so, with that, started the Feast of Passover,
02:54 and so God said, "Make unleavened bread."
02:56 You see this?
02:58 This is unleavened bread, bread with no leaven, no yeast.
03:00 So it was really hard, like a cracker.
03:02 Josh: Is it delicious?
03:03 Caleb: He said, "Eat bitter herbs to remind
03:05 you of your bitterness of slavery."
03:07 You wanna eat this? No?
03:08 Oh, I know he would want-- Josh: It's no good, don't do it.
03:11 Caleb: We don't have any drink, you know, if it's yucky,
03:13 then you're gonna be spitting out.
03:14 "And roast the lamb.
03:16 You're gonna eat the lamb and they were to have that meal."
03:19 You were supposed to keep your shoes on your feet and you're
03:21 gonna have your belts on, your clothes on, because the very
03:23 next morning you were ready to run out of Egypt 'cause
03:25 he's gonna let those people go.
03:27 Well, the death angel came.
03:28 Josh: He was gonna "Let my people go."
03:31 Caleb: He let the people go.
03:32 Pharaoh finally let the people go.
03:34 And that's why we celebrate the Passover today.
03:36 So why is this feast so important,
03:37 the Feast of Passover?
03:39 What was it to tell us about the future?
03:41 Does anybody know why this feast is important to us today?
03:43 Josh: Anybody at all? Anybody?
03:47 Because we were all born perfect and we were beautiful
03:51 and our mommies and daddies loved us and we could
03:52 go straight to heaven, right?
03:54 Ehh, that is the wrong answer.
03:57 As a matter of fact, we were all born sinners.
03:59 Mi: That's why-- Josh: That's right.
04:02 And we've all done bad things. Caleb: That's right.
04:04 Josh: And the thing is, is that we are in bondage
04:07 to that because we're sinners, just like the Israelites
04:09 were in bondage in Egypt.
04:11 Caleb: And so these feasts were to be foreshadowings, types
04:14 to let you to know when the Messiah came, he was the one.
04:19 So we have three feasts that we're gonna show you that Jesus
04:22 was coming: the Feast of Passover, in which he died, on
04:25 the piece--Feast of Passover.
04:27 The Feast of Unleavened Bread.
04:29 He was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
04:31 And the Feast of First Fruits in which he was resurrected
04:34 on Feast of First Fruits.
04:36 Some people call it Easter.
04:37 We call it the Feast of First Fruits, and so those were very
04:40 important types and shadows of things to come.
04:42 In fact, Jesus took the position of
04:45 "the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world."
04:49 John the Baptist said that.
04:51 He died for us and his blood was poured out to forgive us of our
04:54 sins, on the Feast of First Fruits.
04:58 Jesus was resurrected, he came out of the tomb, and Mary
05:02 Magdalene is the first person to see him and she wants to hug on
05:05 to Jesus and hold on tight, but he says, "No, no, no, no, no."
05:06 Josh: He said, "Whoa." Caleb: "No, no, no."
05:08 Josh: "Hold on." Caleb: Yeah.
05:09 Josh: And in fact, in John 20:17,
05:11 it's exactly what he said.
05:12 Just in case you all think my paraphrasing
05:14 is a little inaccurate.
05:16 "Jesus said, 'Do not hold on to me,
05:17 for I have not yet ascended to the Father.
05:20 Go instead to my brothers and tell them,
05:22 'I am ascending to my Father
05:24 and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
05:27 Caleb: So why was this important?
05:29 Jesus immediately after that he went up to heaven, okay?
05:32 He went up to heaven and he had to finish the sacrifice.
05:35 Let's say he was the Passover lamb.
05:37 He was killed, but he still had to apply his own blood
05:40 to cover our sins.
05:42 He stepped into the role of the high priest.
05:45 You know there's a temple in heaven and he went into that
05:47 temple, into the holy place where there's a Mercy Seat,
05:50 an ark of the covenant.
05:52 He took his own blood and he applied it to
05:54 that to cover our sins forever.
05:56 So here we have a temple. Josh: Oh my gosh.
05:59 Caleb: A model of King Solomon's temple.
06:01 Look at that.
06:02 Josh: Why would God make a temple so small?
06:04 This would have to be a temple for ants to be able to go in
06:06 there and receive freedom.
06:08 Caleb: It's a model, made out of popsicle sticks by E
06:10 in the second grade.
06:12 Most kids know--non-Jewish kids may make the Eiffel Tower out of
06:15 popsicle sticks, castles, ours make King Solomon's temple.
06:18 Josh: This is very normal Jewish,
06:19 made right here in school.
06:20 Caleb: So if you guys look inside this temple, this is the
06:22 Holy of Holies and in there is the ark of the covenant--
06:24 Josh: Can they look or are they gonna get zapped?
06:25 Caleb: --the Mercy Seat.
06:27 No, they're not gonna get zapped.
06:28 Y'all are gonna be okay.
06:29 Josh: Oh, model zapped, you get, like, static electricity
06:31 shocked if it's just a model versus--
06:33 Caleb: And the important thing to know, guys, is the
06:35 reason God gave specific dimensions for how to make the
06:38 temple on earth is because the temple in heaven
06:40 looked the exact same way.
06:42 And we have proof that Jesus completed the sacrifice the way
06:46 we just explained, in the book of Hebrews, don't we, Josh?
06:48 Josh: We do, as a matter of fact,
06:50 Hebrews 9:11 through 12 says: "But when Christ
06:54 came as high priest of the good things that are now
06:56 already there, he went through the greater and more perfect
06:59 tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say,
07:02 that is not a part of the creation.
07:04 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but
07:08 he entered the Most Holy Place once and for all by his own
07:11 blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption."
07:13 Caleb: So this Passover, guys, remember the things of
07:16 old, the sacrifice of old, how the death angel passed over
07:19 because of the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of the house.
07:22 Now we have the blood of the Lamb
07:24 on the doorposts of our hearts.
07:25 Josh: We do.
07:26 Caleb: And we don't have to fear the death angel.
07:28 We don't have to fear coronavirus.
07:29 We don't have to fear anything that's going on in the world
07:31 'cause whether we're in our home or whether we're out in the
07:33 world, we are safe and protected by the blood of Jesus.
07:37 David: I had such a great memory today of when we used to
07:40 use our kids on set for things--
07:41 Caleb: As props.
07:42 David: Yes, really great having your kids
07:45 with us in this segment.
07:47 I love the kid's perspective, teaching to them.
07:51 Caleb: Yeah, it changes everything, but the gospel was
07:53 meant to be understood by children.
07:56 It's simple and in Pesach, Passover, as Zola used to say,
08:01 is the "crown jewel of the feasts of Israel."
08:04 This was the one that Yeshua came and he died and was buried
08:08 and rose again on First Fruits.
08:10 And obviously, in Christian churches, they celebrate
08:13 differently with Easter, you know?
08:15 It's not the Jewish interpretation.
08:17 Josh: We know that people get bent out of shape because it was
08:19 Ishtar's, you know, fertility festival and this and that, but
08:23 the focus being on Yeshua being raised is what we care about.
08:27 But that's why it's so important to go over this teaching here.
08:29 Kirsten: It is, and it's important to go over the
08:31 teaching but I love seeing both of you.
08:34 We know you as brothers.
08:36 I love seeing you as--ah, look it, they're touching--
08:38 as fathers.
08:40 And that was so very much Old Testament, but the whole
08:44 testament, of share it, tell the young generation,
08:48 tell the children.
08:50 Josh: Think about before you had written word, that's how the
08:52 Word was handed down.
08:54 It was verbal, so the families, for generations, would sit and
08:56 they would teach their children and they children
08:58 would teach their children.
08:59 And it's always an amazing time, as a father, as a husband,
09:02 to be able to sit with my kids and be, like,
09:04 "This is the stuff that really matters.
09:05 We all have schedules, we all this, but what Yeshua did is
09:08 what's going to mean everything for your life."
09:12 Kirsten: That's beautiful. I love it.
09:13 I love seeing you guys as dad.
09:15 Caleb: Well, thank you.
09:16 And the next feast, Shavuot, most Christians
09:19 know it as Pentecost.
09:20 The Feast of Weeks.
09:22 This has to do with the Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh.
09:25 I hope you enjoy this perspective.
09:28 Josh: Hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
09:30 Caleb: And I'm Caleb.
09:31 Josh: And we're brothers. And this is Fidgey.
09:33 Caleb: That's cool, Josh.
09:34 You know, today we wanna talk to you about Shavuot, the Feast of
09:38 Pentecost, and the holy [bleeping]
09:41 Josh: That was weird.
09:43 Caleb: Did you just hear that bleeping sound when we said Holy
09:44 [bleeping]?
09:46 Josh: That's not a bad word.
09:48 Who's--usually, I say all the bad words and we know that they
09:50 bleep those out, for sure.
09:52 Caleb: Guys, the Holy Spirit is not a swear word.
09:56 Josh: Didn't--I heard the Holy Spirit died with the apostles.
09:59 Caleb: No, Josh. Josh: It's a different thing?
10:01 Caleb: Yeah, okay, Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost.
10:04 We know about this.
10:05 The fourth feast of Israel's an agricultural feast.
10:08 This was fulfilled when the Holy Spirit was poured
10:10 out on the earth.
10:12 We read here in Exodus 32, though,
10:13 The children of Israel sinned against God.
10:15 They were worshiping a golden calf, and the punishment
10:17 was that 3000 men were killed by Levites.
10:21 Then, Acts 2, 3000 men and women came to the knowledge of Yeshua
10:24 on the Day of Pentecost.
10:27 So this is awesome, Josh.
10:28 But we don't just wanna talk about the Feast of Pentecost,
10:31 but what came on that day, the important baptism by fire that
10:34 was prophesied throughout history.
10:36 Josh: John the Baptist, in Matthew 3:11: "I indeed baptize
10:40 you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is
10:44 mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
10:48 He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."
10:52 Caleb: Oh, that's cool.
10:53 See, Yeshua before he ascended into heaven, he's on the Mount
10:56 of Olives giving his disciples the last directive to go into
10:59 all the world and preach the gospel.
11:01 He didn't wanna leave his disciples empty-handed.
11:03 He wanted them to have the same power and authority
11:05 that the Father gave him.
11:07 So he said in Acts 1:4 through 5:
11:10 "And being assembled together with them, He," Yeshua,
11:13 "Commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem,
11:15 but to wait for the Promise of the Father, 'Which,' he said,
11:17 'You have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water,
11:20 but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit
11:23 many days from now.'"
11:25 Josh: You're probably asking what does that mean?
11:27 What goodies come with it?
11:29 Caleb: The power, yeah. What is it, Josh?
11:30 Josh: Well, Mark 16:17 answers that.
11:32 It says: "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My
11:34 name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new
11:38 tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink
11:40 anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay
11:43 hands on the sick, and they will recover."
11:46 Caleb: Okay, so the Day of Pentecost finally came.
11:49 We read in Acts 2:1 through 4: "When the Day had finally come,
11:53 they were all together with one accord in one place.
11:55 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven,
11:57 as of a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house
12:00 where they were sitting.
12:01 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and
12:04 one sat upon each of them.
12:05 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to
12:07 speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
12:10 Now Peter explained, this was prophesied in Joel 2:28 that
12:14 this baptism by fire, the Holy Spirit would fill them and this
12:17 was kind of like a necessary part 2 for salvation.
12:20 You've got the indwelling of the Holy Spirit but then you got his
12:22 baptism of the Holy Spirit.
12:24 Josh: I think it was really cool that Peter did it.
12:26 I think Peter coming off of denying three times, just so
12:29 happens to stand up and give the very first church service which
12:33 did get 3000 people saved that day, what an amazing moment to
12:37 show that it wasn't Peter, it was the Holy Spirit,
12:39 there was something different.
12:41 Like you said, a part two to salvation.
12:43 Caleb: See, salvation is important.
12:44 The people go out and they, you know, tell them about Yeshua.
12:47 Your spirit is reborn and rejuvenated, but your body is
12:51 still this flawed human flesh.
12:53 It still has that curse attached to it.
12:56 And so, this baptism of the Holy Spirit they talk about is a part
12:59 of the fire, the incinerating fire of the Holy Spirit, burning
13:03 away that chaff and those impurities so that you
13:05 will not be inclined to sin and fall back into those same
13:08 temptations of the flesh.
13:10 Josh: You have to take steps because, like you said, just
13:13 because you get saved today and have that great experience,
13:16 doesn't mean that old patterns and other things of this flesh
13:18 and the Holy Spirit being there to be that hall monitor for you,
13:22 to be like, "Hey, yeah, don't say those words.
13:26 They'll bleep 'em." "Yes, sir, yes, sir."
13:28 Caleb: That's right, so you can see throughout
13:29 Scripture, discovering this fire of the Holy Spirit
13:32 was in Zechariah 13:9, Malachi 3:1 through 3,
13:36 1 Corinthians 3:11 through 15, the consuming fire of God
13:40 in Hebrews 12:29, Psalm 104:4:
13:44 "Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers flames of fire."
13:46 Like I said, this is to empower people--"
13:50 Josh: How much does this cost?
13:51 Is it very expensive?
13:52 Caleb: It was a free gift, Josh, just like salvation.
13:54 You received it by faith, you receive that baptism of fire
13:57 by faith, by asking the Father.
14:00 It was a free gift.
14:01 Josh: I don't know if you've noticed this or not yet, but God
14:03 has a very consistent pattern of which he gives things to you.
14:07 It's by your faith.
14:09 Caleb: That's true. Josh: It's really simple.
14:11 Josh: He said, "Hey, you want it, believe, and it's yours."
14:15 Josh: It's just like that. Caleb: That's right.
14:17 Josh: In Acts 19:1 through 7, Bible says: "And it happened,
14:20 while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through
14:23 the upper regions, came to Ephesus.
14:25 And finding some disciples he said to them, 'Did you receive
14:27 the Holy Spirit when you believed?'
14:28 So they said to him,
14:30 'We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.'
14:33 And he said to them, 'Into what then were you baptized?'
14:37 So they said, 'Into John's baptism.'
14:39 Well, then Paul said,
14:40 'John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to
14:43 the people that they should believe on Him who would come
14:46 after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.'
14:48 When they heard this, they were
14:49 baptized immediately in the name of the Lord Jesus.
14:52 And then Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on
14:55 them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
14:57 Now the men were about twelve in all."
14:59 Caleb: So that's interesting.
15:01 This in the New Testament was the only sign that you were a
15:04 believer, that you were a Christian.
15:05 Paul said, "Have you received the Holy Spirit?"
15:07 This was letting him know that they had received Yeshua
15:09 properly and if they didn't receive the Holy Spirit, then
15:12 they thought there was something wrong with them.
15:14 In 1 Corinthians 12, it outlines that these gifts--there's gifts
15:19 of the Holy Spirit that God gives to us.
15:21 And there's a diversity thereof that is meant for all believers
15:25 of the church to function together in unity.
15:28 Josh: That's pretty powerful. Caleb: That's right.
15:29 Josh: Guys, the Holy Spirit is an integral part
15:32 to your life as a believer.
15:34 You can still go to heaven if you're not baptized in him,
15:36 but the things that it enables you to do, the intimacy with the
15:39 Father, the awareness, everything, is amazing.
15:42 We read in 1 Corinthians, well, we all read before, that these
15:45 giftings that have been given out are portions of apostle,
15:49 prophet, teacher, healer, gift of tongues.
15:51 There's all these things but the greatest of all these gifts
15:53 that is given out is love.
15:54 It's greater than the Holy Spirit,
15:56 it's greater than everything.
15:57 So we wanna keep in mind and keep in check that, yes, the
16:00 word "Holy Spirit" that kept getting bleeped out at the
16:04 beginning, he is real, he is alive, he is living on the
16:07 inside of you, but love should be the driving force behind
16:10 everything that we do, everything that we say,
16:12 and if it's not, then--
16:14 Caleb: It doesn't matter if you have prophecy, it doesn't
16:16 matter if you can speak in tongues, doesn't matter
16:18 if you can heal the sick.
16:19 If you don't have love toward the people,
16:21 toward the fellow man, to your neighbor, they're nothing.
16:24 Josh: Wonder what else they might bleep?
16:26 I'll keep coming up with some words.
16:28 What about--
16:31 David: While the cameras were off, we were discussing this
16:32 topic and, as Gentiles, we think it's a lot different than what
16:36 the teaching is today, right?
16:38 Kirsten: Right, because we grew up in the church.
16:40 You grew up in the church also,
16:42 but you grew up with a Jewish perspective.
16:44 We did not.
16:46 So what we've heard is "The church is born.
16:50 It's the beginning of the Christian church, Shavuot," and
16:53 they don't even know the word "Shavuot" is just Pentecost.
16:55 And we, again, cannot understand it if we don't understand the
17:01 Jewish roots, what was really happening right then.
17:06 So tell us more.
17:07 Caleb: Tell us more of what we've--guys, this--
17:09 even the Holy Spirit, everybody says,
17:12 "Oh, here's the Christian Holy Spirit.
17:13 You know, with the Jewish people, it's always the Father,
17:15 the Father, the Father, you know?
17:17 And then with Christians it's the Son,
17:18 and then you get the Holy Spirit.
17:20 The three in one was always taught.
17:22 You can see the three in one all over the Old Testament.
17:25 The Holy Spirit was always there, so the Spirit of the Lord
17:27 would come upon Samson, the Spirit of the Lord would come
17:30 upon this prophet and he would prophesy.
17:32 Even Saul prophesied when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him
17:34 in the Old Testament.
17:36 And so, the power of the Holy Spirit is something that even
17:38 Christians in the church today don't focus enough on.
17:43 That empowering is what we need to have as believers to overcome
17:46 the trials of this world.
17:49 David: We sing about that, but do we really grasp
17:51 what we're singing about?
17:52 I don't know.
17:53 Josh: I don't know if we do because I know that in a lot of
17:55 churches today, they will either say, "Well, all that power died
17:59 with the, you know, the apostles," or they'll try to
18:03 create strategies in which we can utilize the Holy Spirit
18:07 during this 60-minute segment and during this, you know,
18:10 13-minute worship segment.
18:12 Kirsten: Or how he comes. Josh: Exactly, how he comes.
18:15 Josh: He is a fundamental part of your daily life as a believer
18:18 and being successful and overcoming darkness.
18:21 Caleb: That's right, well, now we're gonna go a very
18:24 interesting teaching about the Fall Feast.
18:26 Three feasts that have not yet been fulfilled.
18:30 They are prophetic and you're gonna really enjoy this, but
18:33 this is a foretelling of important things that are gonna
18:37 happen for your life as a believer.

18:53 Josh: Hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
18:54 Caleb: I'm Caleb.
18:56 Josh: Why is there wheat all over my table?
18:58 Caleb: It is for Jewish New Year.
18:59 We're in the New--
19:01 Josh: It's October. I know that much.
19:03 Oh, Jewish New Year. Hey, Mazal Tov.
19:06 Caleb: The secular Jewish New Year.
19:08 We're in the New Year season for the Jews.
19:10 Josh: That's right.
19:11 Caleb: Yeah, in the Bible, the New Year was basically in
19:13 the spring, but the secular time, Rosh Hashana starts
19:16 the New Year for Jews.
19:18 And we know that Zola has taught about the seven feasts,
19:21 and we wanna talk about the fall feasts.
19:23 And we're gonna sort of give an abridged version of that.
19:25 Josh: With all the wheat. Caleb: That's right.
19:28 Caleb: So let's talk about the seven feasts that God
19:30 ordained in Leviticus 23.
19:32 The first four had been fulfilled in Messiah.
19:36 We see the Feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread,
19:40 and First Fruits were fulfilled in the death, burial,
19:42 and resurrection of Messiah.
19:44 Then we see Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks.
19:46 That was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, you know, with the
19:49 outpouring of the Holy Spirit to the people.
19:51 Josh: Is that all of them or are there more left?
19:53 Caleb: There's three feasts left: the Fall Feasts.
19:56 Now these have yet to be fulfilled as a type and a shadow
19:59 of Messiah yet to come.
20:01 So we wanna focus on 'em. Let's look at Rosh Hashana.
20:03 Josh: Let's do it.
20:04 Caleb: Rosh Hashana is known as the Feast of Trumpets
20:07 or Yom Teruah.
20:08 And now, this day was a ceremonial blowing of the
20:11 trumpet, of the shofar, from the temple and they offered
20:14 sacrifices to the Lord.
20:16 And as Zola has explained, this feast is a mirror or a shadow of
20:19 a rapture of the church to come.
20:22 Josh: Ooh, the Rapture. Now, hold on.
20:23 That's gonna happen after we all
20:25 get blitzed by the antichrist, right?
20:27 Caleb: No, no, no, no.
20:28 Let's read 1 Thessalonians 4:16 through 17:
20:31 "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a
20:32 shout, with the voice of the archangel,
20:34 and with the trumpet of God.
20:35 And the dead in Christ shall rise first.
20:37 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with
20:40 them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
20:42 And so shall we ever be with the Lord."
20:44 Now, the Bible says we will not know the day or the hour that
20:47 this is gonna happen, only the heavenly Father knows.
20:50 But we are to know the season.
20:52 It's the Fall season, the last harvest of the year, the
20:55 gathering of people from the earth is the harvest.
20:58 Josh: Oh, okay, so just like you gather wheat, he's gonna come
21:01 gather the people for the harvest, interesting.
21:04 Caleb: That's true, the next feast is Yom Kippur,
21:06 the Great Day of Atonement.
21:08 On this day, the high priest would go into the Holy of
21:11 Holies, the only time he could go into there, and he would drip
21:14 blood upon the Mercy Seat.
21:15 He would offer sacrifices for the entire nation of Israel to
21:18 have their sins forgiven.
21:21 On this day in the future, is gonna be when the Battle of
21:23 Armageddon takes place, when the Lord will judge the wicked.
21:27 He will separate the sheep from the goats.
21:29 It's an amazing time. It's a scary time.
21:31 Josh: So are we gonna be here at that point?
21:33 Or we need to look it more. We need to look it more.
21:35 Caleb: We'll get to that, Josh. We'll get to that.
21:36 The next feast--
21:38 Josh: I wanna know when it's gonna happen.
21:40 Caleb: The next feast, celebratory feast of Sukkot.
21:42 The bad stuff is gone.
21:43 Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles,
21:44 the Feast of Booths.
21:46 This is when we remember our time in the wilderness, setting
21:49 up tents and booths and this is a feast of the beginning of the
21:52 Millennial reign of the Lord.
21:55 Caleb: And it's-- Josh: Leviticus 23:41, right?
21:57 Caleb: Leviticus 23:41. Josh: Ha, ha, ha, I knew it.
21:59 Caleb: It declares that this feast is to be an everlasting
22:01 statute, a memorial forever, that during the Millennial reign
22:06 that if the inhabitants of the earth don't go to Jerusalem to
22:10 celebrate the feasts, then God will shut up the heavens and
22:12 they will not receive any rain.
22:14 Josh: So can now we talk about the Rapture,
22:15 when it's in heaven?
22:17 Caleb: Now we can talk about the Rapture.
22:18 Josh: About time, what if it was gonna happen
22:19 in 6 minutes and I didn't know?
22:21 So many things I'd wanna do.
22:22 Caleb: Now, we know the word "Rapture"
22:24 does not appear in the Bible.
22:25 It's a taking away, the gathering, of God's elect.
22:27 And pre--a lot of people get into fear
22:32 about this subject matter.
22:33 They worry, they, no, "What's gonna happen?
22:35 Are we gonna suffer the Tribulation, all these
22:38 terrible things on the earth?"
22:39 Let's read from the Scripture.
22:40 Josh: I'd like to read this if you don't mind.
22:42 1 Thessalonians 5:1 through 11 says: "But concerning the times
22:45 and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that
22:47 I should write to you.
22:49 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the
22:52 Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
22:54 For when they say, 'Peace and safety!'
22:56 then sudden destruction comes upon them,
22:59 and as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
23:01 And they shall not escape.
23:03 But you, brethren, are not in the darkness, so that this Day
23:06 should overtake you as a thief.
23:08 You are all sons of light and sons of the day.
23:10 We are not of the night nor of the darkness.
23:12 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do.
23:14 But let us who are of the day be sober,
23:16 putting on the breastplate of faith and love,
23:19 as a helmet the hope of salvation.
23:21 For God did not appoint us to wrath,"
23:24 oh, that's interesting, "But to obtain salvation
23:26 through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether
23:29 we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
23:31 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another,
23:34 just as you are doing."
23:36 How come everybody always stops at "The thief in the night,"
23:39 and doesn't keep reading the Scripture?
23:41 Caleb: Well, there's many parables that say: "The Lord
23:43 will come as a thief in the night," but they think that
23:45 it's, to us, that we're gonna be unawares at the Lord's Coming.
23:49 This Scripture is telling us that we, being the children
23:51 of the light, should not be caught unawares
23:53 of the Messiah's return.
23:55 That we should be aware. He wants us to be aware.
23:57 He wants us to be watchful and to be ready
24:00 to see when his return.
24:01 And we're not to be afraid of it.
24:03 Let's look at Revelation 3:10.
24:05 The Lord says: "Because you have kept my word of patient
24:06 endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial
24:09 which is coming on the whole world, to try those
24:11 who dwell upon the earth."
24:12 God was giving exhortation to the church of Philadelphia and
24:14 he did not destine us for wrath, that we being his children, are
24:17 not meant to endure what's called the wrath, the plagues,
24:21 the bowls of wrath that are unleashed upon the earth
24:23 during the Tribulation.
24:24 He wants to spare us.
24:26 We take part in the marriage supper of the Lamb
24:28 during the Tribulation.
24:30 This time when we marry Messiah, when we become one with him and
24:34 then, at the end of the Tribulation, we come down with
24:37 him on white horses.
24:38 We battle Satan in the Battle of Armageddon.
24:41 Josh: It's gonna be so awesome.
24:42 I think that white horses are super-cool.
24:44 Johnny Cash even sang a song about that one time.
24:45 I love it. Guys, here's the thing.
24:47 My brother's pretty certain so if y'all guys are taking some,
24:49 kind of like, pool and having, like, a, what is that thing with
24:52 the football--fantasy football league.
24:54 You all can vote on him and it's probably a good idea.
24:55 He studied it for a long time. And it's God's Word.
24:58 But I think we're kind of missing the point when we think
25:01 about worrying and concern.
25:03 Caleb: Yeah, we just wanna exhort you.
25:05 Josh: Calm down.
25:06 Caleb: We want you to be encouraged.
25:07 These Fall feasts have not been fulfilled.
25:09 They're types and shadows of the things to come.
25:11 Let's look at them with anticipation.
25:12 Let's be one of those ones who receive a reward for looking for
25:15 the Coming of the Lord.
25:17 And be ready, be watchful, so you won't be caught unawares.
25:20 Josh: Have the good intention, not that person who's
25:22 just waiting to go, "Ha, ha, I told you so."
25:24 I like to be that guy sometimes.
25:27 I'm not gonna lie. That's why he's staring at me.
25:29 But look at all the wheat, it's beautiful wheat, it's tasty.
25:34 David: We trust you're enjoying the teaching around
25:36 this table, not only at this table.
25:38 We give you teaching from the Bearded Bible Brothers, but they
25:41 will be on the bus with us when we go to Israel
25:44 and on location everywhere we go.
25:47 Guys, it's life-changing for not only our pilgrims, but
25:51 life-changing for us too as we head there.
25:53 Kirsten: And I gotta say, if you have questions for either of
25:57 these guys, they're available breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
26:00 and throughout the whole day, and I don't understand
26:01 why you're laughing.
26:02 Caleb: Write 'em down. Kirsten: You are so welcome.
26:04 Caleb: Get ready. Yeah.
26:06 Kirsten: All day long, prophetic questions.
26:08 But you guys have the answers.
26:10 Caleb: Well, guys, for this show itself, when you give an
26:12 offering to us, we wanna give you something in return.
26:14 This book that Zola and Dr. Tom McCall wrote,
26:16 "The Bible Jesus Read," is from a Jewish perspective
26:20 'cause Jesus read the Old Testament.
26:22 And it answers a lot of your questions.
26:23 It's really like the Cliff Notes to the Old Testament and it
26:26 shows the Messianic lineage through the whole thing.
26:28 You can find Yeshua in this.
26:31 Josh: All these feasts that we've been delving into today
26:33 were meant to reflect back to Yeshua.
26:36 They were meant to get the eyes of the Jewish person to focus on
26:39 Yeshua as their Messiah.
26:41 Right now, if you're watching this, and you have not accepted
26:45 Yeshua as your Messiah, as the One that is written about
26:49 throughout the Word of God, who is the Son of God, who came and
26:52 lived a perfect life, fulfilling the law, dying, rose again on
26:56 the third day, then now is the moment for you to accept him.
27:00 I want you to pray with me right now: "Dear heavenly Father, we
27:03 thank you for sending your Son, Yeshua.
27:06 We ask for you to forgive us for our sins.
27:09 We ask you to come into our heart and to live
27:11 and rule in us forever.
27:13 Thank you, Yeshua."
27:15 It's as simple as that.
27:17 Caleb: Yeah. David: I wanna say this too.
27:18 David: It's been great having your children with us today
27:20 and so much more to come.
27:22 David: But guys it's time to go. Caleb: That's right.
27:23 Josh: So as we always say, "Shaalu shalom Yerushalayim."
27:26 Kirsten: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
