Tishrei, the 7th month on the Hebrew (God's) calendar
This month falls in September or October
This is the 7th month, in the Hebrew (Jewish) calendar, God's calendar.
In this month there are many powerful feasts of God.
The first one is Rosh Hashanah called the feast of trumpets (that falls on the 1st of Tishrei),
Yom Kippur , or Day of Atonement is the second one (that falls on the 10th of Tishrei), Feast of Tabernacles or booths also called Sukkot in Hebrew begins on the 15th of Tishrei and finishes on the 22nd of Tishrei.
Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement:
The 10th of Tishrei, Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. (Lev 16:29-34, Lev 23:26-32), falls on the 27th of September 2009 when the sun goes down and ends on the 28th of September 2009 when the sun goes down.
This is the day when the high priest went into the holies of holy, the place where the holy Ark of the covenant, and the two cherub with out stretched wings were,
and in this holy place he went to intercede for himself, and for the nation of Israel, and this was done only once a year.
After the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, the Temple was then moved into heaven (Rev 11:19, Rev 3:12, Matt 6:10) where Yeshua, Jesus our Lord became the high priest that goes into the holies of holy for all the nations that are in the world (Heb 8:1-3, Heb 9:11-12, Heb 2:17-18).
This day (the 10th of Tishrei) is one of the most holy day on the Hebrew calendar, because this is the same Day when Adam entered into a covenant oath with God, obligating himself to the principle of giving his tithes (tenth percent) only to God (Genesis 2:16-17),
from that moment onwards, all humanity through Adam was obligated to present their tithe (act of honour, reverence, respect and humility) towards God (the creator, the judge of all judges).
The 10th of Tishrei being the day of atonement called Yom Kippur in Hebrew, on this day, the heavenly court room goes into cession,
where all souls on the Earth are pronounced guilty or not guilty depending on how they treat God (His morals, His ways, and commandments) in the Earth.
This is the day when we humble ourselves in prayer, and intercession (a 25 hour fast is
done, afflicting of our souls from sundown on the 9th of Tishrei until when the sun goes down on the 10th of Tishrei according to Leviticus 16:29-30 & Leviticus 23:32).
Prayers of intercession are offered unto God on this day, praying for the nations, our beloved ones, and even those that hate us,
in so doing this provokes God's mercies from heaven through our High priest Yeshua, Jesus Christ to rain upon the earth.
As Yeshua Christ our Lord stands in intercession for the nations in heaven on this day of Yom Kippur as it is written in Hebews 7:22-25 & 1 John 2:1-5, cruel judgements,
and decisions made by God the Father over people's lives are reversed into a positive report.
Our effort that we put in prayer for God's mercies in this season, will bring God's forgiveness, and release His blessing upon the earth.
Yom Kippur is the day when God becomes the Judge of the Earth from His supreme high court in heaven as in Ezekiel 9:3-11 and Psalm 110:1-7.
In fact this is also the season when satan goes before God to accuse the people of God, so if you are not fully serving God as you should,
remember that in this season you have an accuser that wants you to be guilty of every unrighteous act that you have committed according to Rev 12:10-11 and Psalm 109:6-19.
Scriptures to read and to recite out loud: Hebrews 3:1-19 Psalm 65:1-13.
One opinion says that "Tishrei" means "to begin", for the beginning of Tishrei meant that it was the beginning of an agricultural year or farming year.
Another meaning of "Tishrei" is forgiveness.
"Tishrei" also means "released" and they explained that the month was so named because in it God "releases and lets go all" the sins of the Jewish people and the body of Christ.
Tishrei" is the Aramaic word for "You will forgive", clearing the sins of people and pronouncing them not guilty. |
