If you were just beginning to wonder about the festivals Yeshua celebrated and whether they have any meaning for Christians, where would you go to get answers? Dr. Gayle Timberlake has a suggestion: take a look at the Simka Foundation, which not only offers teachings on the Feasts of the Lord, but also has resources to help people celebrate the Feasts on their own.
In this conversation, Gayle explains how she came to understand and experience the blessings of observing the appointed times Messiah Yeshua observed, and establish the Simka Foundation as an avenue to help others experience that same blessing and joy. This is something our Jewish brothers and sisters have known for a very long time, but Christians are only now coming to understand it. The Simka Foundation helps individuals, families, and churches enjoy these blessings as they follow the example of Messiah Yeshua in celebrating the Feasts.

A #chiasm in #deuteronomy 26:1-2 is centered on the firstfuits offering and bracketed by gratitude toward the God who made the offering possible.
.When you come into the land
...YHWH gave you
.....You have taken the land
.......Firstfruit of the ground
.....You harvest the land
...YHWH is giving you
.Take to the place in the land
This passage is also the first part of an overlapping parallelism that extends through v4:
.v1-2 - When you come in
...Firstfruits in a basket
......Go to the place YHWH will put his name
.v3-4 - I have come in
...Priest takes the basket
......Set the basket before the altar of YHWH

By the mouth of a fool comes a rod for his back, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
Proverbs 14:3
If bad things keep happening to someone, it's often because he keeps doing and saying things to cause them. It's not always a great idea to intervene because you might interrupt a learning opportunity.
Conversely, if good things keep happening to someone, it's often because he is doing and saying things to cause them. Make friends with that person and learn from him.
Every book of the Bible was written and considered Holy Scripture centuries before the Roman Catholic Church existed.

The purpose of Israel's time in the wilderness wasn't punishment, but to teach them about God. Wilderness experiences are always unpleasant, but they are also when we are closest to the presence of God. The Bible repeatedly says God causes much suffering, but he only does so in order to bring about greater blessing.
