2. STUDIES:
a. Weekly studies:
Parasha Emor (live Shabbat broadcast):
a. Parasha Emor (live broadcast): 28 September (Shabbat), 11 AM UTC-5
Please join us for Norman’s midrash on Parasha Emor 5784 (2024) Shabbat (28 September) at 11 AM UTC-5, on YouTube!
Parasha Emor 5784 (2024) continues Genesis 35 Alliance dialogue between the Two houses. It explains the priesthood’s important role to teach the people the difference between the set-apart and the prophane, according to the written Torah of Moshe. We will discuss how Talmudic Replacement Theology contradicts Yahweh’s written Torah and violates Vayiqra (Leviticus) 24:22. We will also discuss orthodox Judah’s Noahide laws, the prophecies of Ezekiel 44-45, and the role of our perfect priest Yeshua HaMashiach. Join us live on Shabbat for these topics and more.
We will be monitoring the comment section and, Yahweh willing, we hope to respond to comments and questions most pertinent to the discussion. We ask that everyone please keep comments respectful, friendly, and in relation to the topic. Comments that do not follow NI guidelines and YouTube guidelines will be managed appropriately.
Also, please pray for us for stable internet connections and overall success with the live broadcast, so that we may offer the most opportunity for participation with our viewers.
We hope to see you there!
b. Additional Studies:
Shemini Atzeret: The Eighth Day Assembly
Shemini Atzeret 5784 (2024) gives an overview of how The Eighth Day foreshadows prophecy and end-time events, how these prophecies correspond with a 7-day week, the Shabbat, and the eighth day, and the parallels to Yeshua’s brith and the eighth day circumcision. It also answers Torah Calendar questions.

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:
a. 7th month feasts:
The new moon of the 7th Hebrew month was seen from Israel on the evening of 4 September 2024. Yahweh’s feasts are officially over for the year. If you are new to the Torah Calendar and were not able to keep the feasts with this year, we hope to you will be able to keep them next year. You can find information about the Torah Calendar and news calendar updates a via Torah Calendar News 2024.
For specific information on how to keep Yahweh’s feasts and the significance of each feast, please see the studies below.
Note: 11 March 2024 was Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). For more details, please visit Torah Calendar News 2024.
b. 8th Hebrew month:
The new moon of the 8th Hebrew month is expected to be seen from Israel on the evening of 4 October 2024. Confirmation will be made upon witnesses from Israel (or at the end of the 30th day of the month if the moon is not seen).
To understand why Nazarene Israel does not observe 8th month feasts, please see “Feasts of the 8th Month“.
To understand why Nazarene Israel does not observe the Jewish Rosh HaShanah (October 2024), please continue to section 3e (below).
c. 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.
5 October 2024- new moon discipleship 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.
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.
