TODAY IS ALIYATH YESHUA

Aliyath Yeshua occurs on the 40th day of the Omer, and was the day of Yeshua’s ascension into the heavens after his death and resurrection during Chag Hamatzoth, the Festival of Unleavened Bread.

The scripture readings are: Ma’asey (Acts) 1:11; Luqas (Luke) 24:50-53 and Marqos (Mark) 16:19-20.

“The first account I made, O Theophilos, of all that Yeshua began both to do and to teach, until the day when he was taken up, after giving instructions through the Set-apart Spirit to the emissaries whom he had chosen, to whom He also presented himself alive after his suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for forty days, speaking concerning the Kingdom of Elohim. And meeting with them, he commanded them not to leave Yerushalayim, but to wait for the promise of the Father, ‘which you have heard from me – because Yochanan truly immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Set-apart Spirit not many days from now.’ So, when they had come together, they asked him, saying, ‘Master, would you at this time restore the Kingdom to Yisra’el?’ And he said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehudah and Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.’ And having said this, while they were looking on, he was taken up, and a cloud hid him from their sight. And as they were gazing into the heaven as he went up, see, two men stood by them dressed in white, who also said, ‘Men of Galil, why do you stand looking up into the heaven? This same Yeshua, who was taken up from you into the heavens, shall come in the same way as you saw him go into the heavens.’”

“If anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe. For false messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and they shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. See, I have forewarned you! So, if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of Adam be. For wherever the dead body is, there the vultures shall be gathered together. And immediately after the distress of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Adam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Adam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”

“Now, brothers, we do not wish you to be ignorant concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you be sad as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, so also Elohim shall bring with him those who sleep in Yeshua. For this we say to you by the word of the Master, that we, the living who are left over at the coming of the Master shall in no way go before those who are asleep. Because the Master himself shall come down from heaven with a shout, with the voice of a mighty angel, and with the trumpet of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. Then we, the living who are left over, shall be caught away together with them in the clouds to meet the Master in the air – and so we shall always be with the Master. So, then, encourage one another with these words.”

“To him who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood and has made us kings and priests to his Elohim and Father, to him be glory and rule forever and ever! Amein! See, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him! And all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him! Yes, Amein!”
