Shabbat shalom, Nazarene Israelites.
1. PRAISE REPORTS, PRAYER REQUESTS, UPDATES: 4 October 5784 (2024)
a. Prayer request: Live broadcasts ‘temporarily’ postponed
We are still learning the new routine with the live broadcasts, and we have a few technical details to work out in order to not lose the connection mid-presentation. We want to deliver the best Scriptural content, and so we are ‘temporarily’ postponing the live broadcasts until we have the technical details resolved.
Thanks to Elohim, we were already able to resolve an electrical issue that was causing our recording camera to turn off unexpectantly. Now we are waiting for a new internet service through Starlink.
If Yahweh wants it, we hope to continue the live broadcasts within 2-4 weeks’ time (Yahweh willing). Until then, we will continue to post the latest studies to YouTube and to the NI website.
Please keep the ministry in prayer that live broadcasts will help advance the Great Commission and the Kingdom work. As well as the continued ministry work here in Latin America.
2. STUDIES:
a. Weekly studies: (Link to be posted soon!)
Parasha Behar: Enter Through the Narrow Gate
Parasha Behar continues Two-House Genesis 35 Alliance dialogue. It explains about the Torah commandments for keeping the Shemitta/Jubilee, the Torah prohibitions against taking Israelite brethren as slaves, and the iniquities of both houses (Judah and Israel) that led to the Babylonian Exile, the Diaspora.
It also explains about Mystery Babylonian leaven hidden in the three measures of meal (or the three Abrahamic faiths), warns against feministic and Messi-Gnosticistic ideologies, and encourages Yahweh’s people to enter through the narrow gate of the Original Faith (Jude 3).

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:
a. Yahweh’s feasts:
11 March 2024 was Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). 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 in section 3d, below
b. 8th Hebrew month:
The new moon of the 8th Hebrew month was reported from Israel on the evening of 4 October 2024 by Hebrew in Israel. (If there had not been any official witness, the evening of 4 October would have began the new month by default.) Rosh Chodesh!
18:42, the Zevulun valley, northen Israel, reported by Hebrew in Israel.
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 2nd-4th 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-
The monthly new moon meeting will be cancelled for this month, and the Shabbat Discipleship meeting will continue as scheduled.
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.
4. NAZARENE ISRAEL REVELATION NEWS:
I encourage you to check the news each week, to follow the trends of the four horses. Also, if you have never gone through the permanent links, we urge you to read them. Click here to read the Nazarene Revelation News on the website. (You must be logged in to view.)
The purpose of the Revelation News is to show that the Revelation Timeline is correct (as explained in the study, Revelation and the End Times.) Links on the news page are for the sole purpose of giving updates pertinent to the Revelation news timeline. Nazarene Israel does not necessarily support doctrine shared in outside news sources.
Everything is still 100% on track according to the Revelation Timeline in Revelation and the End Times!
Shalom!
