Shabbat shalom, Nazarene Israelites.

1. PRAISE REPORTS, PRAYER REQUESTS, UPDATES: 2 August 5784 (2024)

a. The heart and spirit of His Proverbs 31 bride

Ezekiel chapter 36 and 37 prophesy of a future time when Yahweh Elohim will again gather His people Israel (Ephraim, and those of Judah sojourning with Him) from all the nations where he was scattered, and return them to the Land. Prior to the fulfillment of this prophecy, Yahweh says that He will give Israel (Ephraim, Joseph) a new heart and a new spirit.

Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 36:26
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

From Yahweh’s perspective, do we have the hearts and the Spirit of His Proverbs 31 war bride? Or do we have hearts and spirits that need changing? Join us for this week’s Parasha Ki Tisa lesson.

2. STUDIES:

a. Parasha Ki Tisa: Tax-Free Bride or FOOLING our INSIDES?

Parasha Ki Tisa continues Genesis 35 Alliance dialogue for the reunification of the house of Judah and Joseph. It explains the priestly anointing oils, the relation between pharmakeia and sorcery, the consequences of breaking Yahweh’s written Torah, and what it takes to be Yahweh’s faithful, Proverbs 31, tax-free bride.

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:

a. New Moon 6th Hebrew month: 5 August 2024 (expected)

The new moon of the sixth Hebrew month is expected to be visible from Israel on 5 August 2024. Confirmation will be made upon the sighting of the new moon (or the 30-day default count) as the new month approaches.

Note: 11 March 2024 was the confirmed declaration of Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). For more details, please visit Torah Calendar News 2024.

b. Upcoming Discipleship Meetings: 

All meetings are at 8 AM Colombian time (always UTC-5, but watch your Daylight Savings Time adjustments). The Discipleship Meeting is a discussion between disciples. It is generally 1-hour long but may run longer depending on how the Spirit leads. For more on NI’s description of discipleship, please see NI’s Discipleship program.

6 August 2024- New moon meeting (expected)

Note: If the monthly Discipleship Meeting coincides with the weekly Shabbat Meeting, the Shabbat Meeting will take precedence, and new moon discussion will be combined with the Shabbat meeting. However, in the case of a Feast Day Meeting coinciding with a Shabbat meeting, the Feast Day Meeting will take precedence.

Rosh HaShanah and the first month feast dates are confirmed. Seventh month feast dates are “expected dates“.
These dates may change by a day or two, depending on when the new moon day of the 7th month (September 2024) is confirmed. 

d. Why the FirstFruits Torah Calendar?

Every year we receive questions about the Firstfruits Torah calendar and why it differs from Karaite, Jewish, and Messianic, and Equinox calendars. The different calendars that exist can (and do) cause a lot of confusion. But if we follow Scripture without adding or taking away from Yahweh’s word, we see that there are significant errors in the Karaite, Jewish, Messianic, and Equinox calendars.

We explain these errors in the following studies, as well as why it is important to follow the true Firstfruits Torah calendar in order to observe Yahweh’s feasts at His appointed times only.
