Become Fine Flour

Leviticus 23:15-22

[15]  “You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. [16] You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord. [17] You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord. [18] And you shall present with the bread seven lambs a year old without blemish, and one bull from the herd and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. [19] And you shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings. [20] And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. [21] And you shall make a proclamation on the same day. You shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling places throughout your generations. [22] And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.”

Pentecost is the fulfillment of Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks. The Feast of Weeks was during the Wheat Harvest. They were to not just bring a blood sacrifice from lambs and goats, but a bread offering. Two loaves of bread made from fine flour. It wasn’t just any old flour they used. The flour took more work to produce.

It had to be carefully ground and sifted. Wheat was, apparently, more prestigious. It wasn’t the common grain. Barley was. Pentecost fulfilled this by taking two groups of people: the Israelites and the Gentiles. These two groups of people were brought before the LORD as one body in Christ.

No longer did it matter whether of not you were a Jew, but it is now about your heart. That’s why it’s not just common grain. It’s grain that’s harder to grow and take care of. And that’s not enough. It has to be ground. Sifted. And made fine. It’s not enough to just say you follow Christ or you believe in God. You have to do more than that. You have to deny your flesh. You have to go through the fire. You have to be ground and sifted. Not just anyone can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Many are called, but few are chosen.

Pentecost is the day the Church was born by the power of the Holy Spirit and the Blood of Christ. It is the day two people’s were waved before the LORD as one. The day the Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh and the grinding and sifting process of our soul could truly begin. That is Pentecost. It is hope. Hope of changing for the better. Hope of becoming one people in Christ. Hope of becoming a wave offering to the LORD.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Become Fine Flour.

The Fulfillment of Shavuot

Shavuot, or the Feast of Weeks, is one of three pilgrimage feasts that every able-bodied Israelite male had to travel to Jerusalem to take part in. The author of the book of Hebrews wrote that the Law was just a shadow of the good things to come, which would include the feasts. Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, was fulfilled 2000 years ago. How? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he reminds us of the promises of the Law in his Shavuot Message, The Fulfillment of Shavuot.

The Feast of Booths

Once a year, all of Israel would leave their homes and dwell in tents. For seven days, the people of Israel would dwell in tents and remember that their ancestors dwelt in tents in the wilderness before they could enter the promised land. If this is a Jewish Feast, what does it have to do with us today? All of these feasts will one day be fulfilled, and that directly affects all of humanity. Therefore, if this feast has yet to be fulfilled, then we, especially Christians, are looking forward to the fulfillment, as these are just a shadow of the good things to come. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he sheds some light on the final feast of the seven God-sanctioned feasts in his message, The Feast of Booths.

The Final Atonement

The LORD Himself has ordained 7 feasts. Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) is one of, if not the holiest, of the seven feasts of the LORD. As Christians, we don’t keep the feasts as we are no longer under the Law of Moses, but now under the Law of Christ. So, why should we care? And if we aren’t keeping the feasts, why do we remember it and talk about it? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the importance of this holy Jewish Feast in his message, The Final Atonement.

At The Last Trump

There are seven feasts sanctioned by the LORD God in the Law of Moses. Each feast foreshadows an event. Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Weeks have all been fulfilled. Four have been fulfilled, three are left. This Monday evening is the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets. A heavily debated feast in the Church today. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to mysteries of the feasts in his message, At The Last Trump.

The Great Day of The Feast

There are seven God-ordained feasts; three of those seven are pilgrimage feasts. The final feast of the year is the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles or Ingathering), which is also one of the three pilgrimage feasts. If each of these feasts foreshadows something good to come, what does the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles or Ingathering) foreshadow, and why is it important to us today?

Yom Kippur Pt. 2: The Fulfillment of the Day of Atonement

Once a year, the High Priest was to sacrifice two goats for the sins of Israel. Jesus is our perfect sacrificial lamb, so why did the high priests have to sacrifice two goats? And why did one of the two goats have to go to Azazel?

Yom Kippur

The Fulfillment of the Day of Atonement

1 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the Lord and died, 2 and the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat that is on the ark, so that he may not die. For I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat. 3 But in this way Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: with a bull from the herd for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the holy linen coat and shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and he shall tie the linen sash around his waist, and wear the linen turban; these are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water and then put them on. 5 And he shall take from the congregation of the people of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself and shall make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 Then he shall take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for Azazel. 9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and use it as a sin offering, 10 but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel.

Leviticus 16:1-10

Jesus was the fulfillment of the Day of Atonement.

Yom Kippur Pt. 1: The Institution of the Day of Atonement

There are seven feasts of God given to the children of Jacob through the prophet Moses. Four of these seven feasts of God have been fulfilled. The last three, The Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, and The Feast of Tabernacles, have yet to be fulfilled. If we understand the institution and purpose of these feasts, then we can better understand what they foreshadow. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the mysteries of Yom Kippur in his message, Yom Kippur Pt. 1: The Institution of the Day of Atonement.

Yom Kippur

The Institution of the Day of Atonement

26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 27 “Now on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict yourselves and present a food offering to the Lord. 28 And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29 For whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people. 30 And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall not do any work. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwelling places. 32 It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict yourselves. On the ninth day of the month beginning at evening, from evening to evening shall you keep your Sabbath.”

Leviticus 23:26-32

The institution of the Day of Atonement came through the Prophet Moses in the wilderness.

The Eternal Promises of God

Eternity is no longer just a far-off idea that won’t come to pass for a very long time. Eternity is knocking at our door. It’s right around the corner. Our eternity is being decided right now by us. Every action we make and every word we speak dictates our eternal dwelling place. Jesus warned us that there are only two options for our eternal dwelling place: eternal life and eternal death. Jesus also promised us that where we spend eternity will be up to us. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the importance of our choices in this life as it directly dictates the next life in his message, The Eternal Promises of God.

The Eternal Promises of God

God’s Eternal Promises

The Feast of Tabernacles or Booths (Sukkot)

33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month and for seven days is the Feast of Booths to the Lord. 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. 36 For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall hold a holy convocation and present a food offering to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly; you shall not do any ordinary work.”

Leviticus 23:33-36

Eternal Dwelling Places

31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And He will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

41 Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

What Does Sukkot Foreshadow?

Everything that God does and decrees has a meaning. From the 6 days of creation to the 7 seven feasts decreed in The Law, everything that God has set has a purpose. There are seven feasts decreed by God; Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles/Booths) is the last feast to be celebrated in the year. If all the feasts have a purpose, what’s the purpose of Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles/Booths)? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through Scripture to find the meaning behind the Feast of Ingathering in his video, What Does Sukkot Foreshadow?

Leviticus 23:39–43
Zechariah 14:16–19

What Does Sukkot Foreshadow?

Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles/Booths/Ingathering)

39 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 40 And you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. 41 You shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

Leviticus 23:39‭-‬41

During Sukkot, We Look Back To…

Sukkot looks back to the time when the people of Israel had to dwell in booths after the LORD brought them out of Egypt.

42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 23:42-43

During Sukkot, We Look Forward To…

Sukkot (the Feast of Ingathering) foreshadows the millennial reign of Christ when we will dwell in temporary homes until the Judgment and the new earth. On the new earth, we will spend eternity with God and He with us.

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with Him for a thousand years [the Millenial Reign].

Revelation 20:1-6

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Revelation 21:1-4

Sukkot foreshadows the Millenial Reign of Christ because, during that time, we will temporarily live on this temporary earth for a thousand years with God. This is also the only feast celebrated during the Millenial Reign of Christ because it is the only feast that hasn’t been fulfilled at that time.
