Appointed Times

The New Moon

(Excerpts Condensed from Torah Club Volume Five) The first day of the biblical month is called Rosh Chodesh (ראש חדש), which literally means 'a new head' and is understood to mean the 'first of the New Month.' A Rosh Chodesh...

Rosh Chodesh

Most of us avoid horoscopes and astrological signs since they are contrary to a biblical lifestyle–and are often even dangerous. But has the enemy so polluted them that our heavenly Father wants us to ignore the heavenly bodies altogether? That seems unlikely, since during the Millennium–while the Master Himself tabernacles among us–our lives will revolve around the Sabbath, New Moon and Feast of Booths.

In the Shadow of the Almighty

In the Gospels, the Master tells His disciples that “some will not taste death” before seeing Him come in His glory. This is a problem. Assuredly, all twelve of the disciples tasted death, and the Master has not yet come in His glory.

A Taste of Freedom

A rhythm exists in Scripture that revolves around God’s appointed times (mo’adim)–a rhythm that is natural part of our life and our maturing process as believers. The intrinsic nature of each mo’ed is unique, yet the cyclical unity is God’s...

Passover - Remembering our Redemption

The two mo’adim, Pesach and Unleavened Bread, are very closely connected. The day of Pesach is one specific day that is to be remembered throughout the history of Israel. “‘For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments–I am the Lord” (Exodus 12:12).

For Such a Time as This

When I think of Purim, I think of the wonder and awe of God’s sovereign plans for us. The theme of “For such a Time as This” perfectly pictures God’s hand in the life of Esther, an orphan, reared by her uncle and then miraculously placed in the palace courts of the king.

My Sheep Hear My Voice

Every year at Hanukkah my heart is filled with wonderful, warm memories and my mind tosses about with ideas of activities and/or teachings based on the “Mighty Maccabees.” Our children are now growing in age and maturity–therefore, sword fights and dreidel making just isn’t “cutting it” as far as learning is concerned.

Shavuot Festivities

Do you know what is so wonderful about celebrating the Mo’adim? We barely cease from recovering from one Festival, and suddenly it is time to prepare for the next. It seems as though our Pesach Seder was just a couple of weeks ago, even though nearly fifty days have elapsed.

Shavuot - שבועות

Most Christians know the story of Pentecost in Acts chapter two: the mighty wind, the tongues of fire, Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) and the speaking in every language. Very few, however, are aware of the Torah background behind this event.
