You shall keep the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor.
Exodus 23:16 ESV
Although all three feasts of ascent are harvest festivals, they are referenced slightly differently. Shavuot is more explicitly called the “Feast of Harvest”, while Sukkot is called the “Feast of Ingathering”. Passover is the “Feast of Unleavened Bread”, but it includes the early firstfruits offering from the spring barley harvest.
Three times per year all Israelite men are to go to the Temple for Hag HaMatzah, Shavuot, and Sukkot. (Exo 23:14-17) Unfortunately, Israelite men are scattered around the world and there's no Temple to go to.
The feasts of ascent serve multiple purposes: worship, census, community, and much more. Could they also have served to boost national immunity to disease?

One thing we noticed during our targeted de-platforming the church time period was that the people who screwed the church around in some above-average way seemed to receive some kind of payoff. For some, new vehicles. For others, vacations. For still others, suddenly jobs they formerly did not have opened up. USAID makes some sense of how this might have been happening.
The story of Yeshua's transfiguration on Mount Tabor in Matthew 17:1-9 is one of the most profoundly strange and significant stories in the Gospel (other than the crucifixion and resurrection, of course). It is very closely connected to two other Bible stories: the wedding at Cana in John 2 and Moses on Mount Sinai in Exodus 24.
The numerous parallels between these three stories reveals profound truths about Yeshua's identity and authority.

We can not recommend this book highly enough. While Hebrew translations of James, Jude, and the Revelation are available digitally along with the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John (the translation of Luke still being finalized), there’s nothing quite like possessing the physical Text in your own hands.
Accompanied with explanations of the manuscripts, Hebrew side by side with the English translations, footnotes, definitions, and commentary, this book is epic and a great blessing to possess.
For information and the rest of their translations thus far visit HebrewGospels.com or download their free app. And be sure to check out their videos on YouTube.

Daniel 12:8 — 9, “I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.” Many wonder exactly what it was that Daniel couldn’t understand. He was told many things, some he was allowed to pass on to everyone and some he was told to seal in a book. We can only speculate that Daniel couldn’t grasp the concept of one person being able to control the worlds economy and everything that would be associated with it, including controlling the source of the food we eat.
“Blessed is every one who fears the Lord (Yahuwah), Who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord.
The Lord bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!”
Psalms 128:1-6 NKJV
