3Genesis 11-5 In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth. The earth was formless
and void, and darkness was over the surface of
the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over
the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let
there be light" and there was light. God saw
that the light was good and God separated the
light from the darkness. God called the light
day, and the darkness He called night. And there
was evening and there was morning, one day.
4Genesis 16-8 Then God said, "Let there be an
expanse in the midst of the waters (mayim), and
let it separate the waters from the waters."God
made the expanse, and separated the waters which
were below the expanse from the waters which
were above the expanse and it was so. God
called the expanse heaven (shemayim). And there
was evening and there was morning, a second day.
5Genesis 19-13 Then God said, "Let the waters
below the heavens be gathered into one place,
and let the dry land appear" and it was so. God
called the dry land earth, and the gathering of
the waters He called seas and God saw that it
was good.Then God said, "Let the earth sprout
vegetation plants yielding seed, and fruit
trees on the earth bearing fruit after their
kind with seed in them" and it was so.The earth
brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed
after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with
seed in them, after their kind and God saw that
it was good. There was evening and there was
morning, a third day.
6Genesis 114-19 Then God said, "Let there be
lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate
the day from the night, and let them be for
signs and for seasons (moedim) and for days and
years and let them be for lights in the expanse
of the heavens to give light on the earth" and
it was so. God made the two great lights, the
greater light to govern the day, and the lesser
light to govern the night He made the stars
also.God placed them in the expanse of the
heavens to give light on the earth, and to
govern the day and the night, and to separate the
light from the darkness and God saw that it was
good. There was evening and there was morning, a
fourth day.
7Genesis 120-23 Then God said, "Let the waters
teem with swarms of living creatures, and let
birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of
the heavens." God created the great sea
monsters and every living creature that moves,
with which the waters swarmed after their kind,
and every winged bird after its kind and God saw
that it was good. God blessed them, saying, "Be
fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the
seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."There
was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
8Genesis 126-31 Then God said, "Let the earth
bring forth living creatures after their kind
cattle and creeping things and beasts of the
earth after their kind" and it was so. God made
the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the
cattle after their kind, and everything that
creeps on the ground after its kind and God saw
that it was good. Then God said, "Let Us make
man in Our image, according to Our likeness and
let them rule over the fish of the sea and over
the birds of the sky and over the cattle and
over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creeps on the earth."
9Genesis 21 Thus the heavens and the earth were
completed, and all their hosts. By the seventh
day God completed His work which He had done, and
He rested on the seventh day from all His work
which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh
day and sanctified it, because in it He rested
from all His work which God had created and
made.
10The Spirit of Messiah Yeshua was present at the
Creation and was the first of any Creation that
occurred. Yeshua was the Beginning of in the
beginning and the Spirit of God that moved on
the waters to create Revelation 314 To the
angel of the church in Laodicea write The Amen,
the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of
the creation of God, says this John 11-3 In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God. All things came into being
through Him, and apart from Him nothing came
into being that has come into being.
11THE WAY of Messiah Yeshua
12Isaiah 111-2 Then a shoot will spring from the
stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will
bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on
Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The
spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of
knowledge and the fear of the LORD. Revelation
45 Out from the throne come flashes of
lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And
there were seven lamps of fire burning before
the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God

14The Spirit of Wisdom (chokhmah) as an Agent of
Creation Proverbs 812 "I, wisdom22-25 "The
LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way,
before His works of old. "From everlasting I was
established, From the beginning, from the
earliest times of the earth. "When there were no
depths I was brought forth, when there were no
springs abounding with water. "Before the
mountains were settled, before the hills I was
brought forth Wisdom was possessed at the
beginning (reishit) of His way. This is a
clear linguistic hint to the first word of the
first chapter of Genesis, BReishit bara
Elohim, or At the beginning, God His way
is another hint. One of the first names of
Yeshuas group of disciples was The Way.
15 Proverbs does not contain the only allusion to
the Spirit of Wisdom as the first day of
Creation. The Prophet Jeremiah
proclaimed Jeremiah 5115 It is He who made
the earth by His power, Who established the
world by His wisdom, And by His understanding He
stretched out the heavens. Ecclesiastes 213
I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as
light is better than darkness.
16The Spirit of Understanding (binah) compelled the
separation of the upper waters and lower waters
on Day Two of Creation Jeremiah 5115 It is
He who made the earth by His power, Who
established the world by His wisdom, And by His
understanding He stretched out the heavens.
17With Understanding (binah) one can group like
objects or distinguish an object that doesnt
belong with a group. The root of binah or tevunah
comes from the Hebrew word boneh or build.
Yeshua came as a carpenter, the spirit of
understanding, or binah. The Spirit of Binah
means to build understanding and is second in
order. In Hebrew, the second letter of the
alphabet (alefbet) is the beit b , which means
house. The House is a way in Scripture of
referring to The Temple. The Hebrew word for
spirit is ruach, which is a feminine noun, so
there is an interesting play-on words in Proverbs
141 The wise woman builds her house
Wisdom leads to understanding!
18The Spirit of Counsel (etzah) On the Third Day
of Creation, the seed-bearing trees were first
spoken into being.Counsel in Hebrew is etzah,
and its root is etz, which means tree! Trees are
symbols of counsel in Scripture, such as the
palm of Deborah or Abrahams oak in Mamre. The
serpent gave unwise counsel concerning a tree
bearing unclean fruit. The third day
corresponds to the third Hebrew letter, the
gimel g. The root word gamal means to ripen,
to reward, to benefit, or to recompense. The
seeds of wisdom planted on Day One ripen and
resurrect on Day Three with the Spirit of
Counsel. For this reason, Messiah Yeshua was put
to death on a tree (etz) as The Promised Seed to
sprout Salvation.
19An illustration of the resurrection power of
Counsel in The Promised Seed is found in
Matthew 2752-53 The tombs were opened, and
many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep
were raised and coming out of the tombs after
His resurrection they entered the holy city and
appeared to many. Yeshuas Spirit of Counsel
demonstrates power not only to resurrect on the
Third Day, but to bear fruit. The fruit was
resurrection to life of Abrahams seed, the
righteous dead.
20The Spirit of Adonai, which is non-specific,
occupies the central location in the menorah
before the throne of God. It is the Fourth Day,
represented by the fourth place marked by the
middle lamp whether we count from the right or
left hand of the menorah. Genesis 116 the
greater light to govern the day, and the lesser
light to govern the night The Fourth Day is
associated with government of the days and nights
of Creation therefore, the Spirit of the Fourth
Day in some way governs the other manifestations
of the Holy Spirit. The middle lamp on the
menorah is called the shamash or servant light.
From this light the other specific lamps of the
Holy Spirit are served their lights.
21The Significance of the Fourth Day, the Holy
Spirit Genesis 114 Then God said, "Let there
be lights in the expanse of the heavens to
separate the day from the night, and let them be
for signs and for seasons (moedim) and for days
and years The seven feasts(moedim) of Adonai
Passover Unleavened Bread Firstfruits
Pentecost Trumpets Atonements Tabernacles.
These feasts manifest the government of
Adonais Kingdom on earth.
22The creation of the 4th day was for moedim or
lmoedim. The l or l means for the sake
of or belonging to. The Hebrew word ad means
eternity, forever. If we add the prefix mem, to
form the word moed, then we either have
something taken from eternity or the means by
which eternity is accomplished! The Hebrew word
ad, for eternity The moedim are for the sake
of eternity to the Creation. They are taken
from eternity, the eternal Holy Spirit.
23The message of the Creative Holy Spirit of
Messiah Yeshua on the Fourth Day is that the
seven festivals of Passover, Unleavened Bread,
Firstfruits of Barley, Pentecost, Trumpets,
Atonement, and Tabernacles will NEVER pass away
because a moed comes from the realm of eternity
and continues in eternity.
24The Holy Spirit is the Foundation of the
Assembly of Yeshua An assembly in Hebrew is edah
or adat. Edah is a congregation or church
assembly. The root word of edah is the same as
moed. It is an eternal assembly (edah) keeping
the eternal moedim. Yeshua and the apostles
urge us not to forsake these assemblies because
of their importance to our spiritual re-creation
each year. There is a much older reason we are
not to interpret these festivals as Jewish or
quaint little practices churches can use to spice
up an easter season. Satans sin was, and is,
rebellionyet in what is his rebellion?
25Isaiah 1412-14 How you have fallen from
heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the earth, You who
have weakened the nations. "But you said in your
heart, 'I will ascend to heaven I will raise my
throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on
the mount of assembly (moed) In the recesses of
the north. 'I will ascend above the heights of
the clouds I will make myself like the Most
High. Satans sin was to weaken all nations,
not just Israel, by trying to govern the moedim!
All mankind was created to share in the eternal
Holy Spirit and to be part of Gods Kingdom
celebrated in his moedim.
26Until the nations return to Passover, Unleavened
Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets,
Atonements, and Tabernacles in the power of the
Holy Spirit, they will be ruled by an unholy
spirit unable to sustain the Creation of Elohim
in a very good condition. To rebel against the
festivals of God is to follow the sin of Satan
and rebel against the Kingdom of God on
earth.In His Kingdom to come, however,
Zechariah prophesies
27Zechariah 1416 Then it will come about that
any who are left of all the nations that went
against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to
celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. Jerusalem
is the center of the festivals of Adonai. This
is where Israel and all nations are taught to
worship at the appointed times. To return to the
festivals is to return to Jerusalem. To return
to the festivals is to regain the strength of the
Holy Spirit.
28The festivals of Adonai are celebrated because
they proclaim THE GOSPEL and cut off the wicked
plan of Satan to rule the festivals of the
nationsNahum 115Behold, on the mountains the
feet of him who brings good tidings, Who
proclaims peace! O Judah, keep your appointed
feasts, perform your vows. For the wicked one
shall no more pass through you he is utterly cut
off.This is The Way of the Holy Spirit on the
Fourth Day.
29Spirit of Power or Ruach Gvurah The Spirit of
Power alludes to the strength to carry out a
task or commandment of Adonai. A gever in
Scripture is a mighty man, often of valor or
war. Spiritual power has more to do with
carrying the Gospel than physical strength.
Yeshua mandated to his disciples to wait in
Jerusalem until they were clothed with power
from on high. What they received at Pentecost
(the Fourth Day) was the Holy Spirit, or Holy
Wind, that scattered them among the nations with
the Gospel like birds and fish (Fifth Day). This
takes the Seed to the nations with wind and sea
currents. The risen Yeshua eats fish!
30National Geographic Map Bird Migration, April
2004. The Dead Sea Valley in Israel hosts the
worlds largest confluence of avian migrants. As
many as a billion birds, exhausted from
over-desert flights between Africa, Europe, or
Asia, refuel near the Red Sea.
31The Spirit of Knowledge (Daat) implies more
than intimate knowledge, such as Adam knew his
wife, and she conceived and bore a son... It
is a loving knowledge so deep that it accompanies
only the most unified relationships, thus Adams
declaration, Flesh of my flesh, bone of my
bone... It is deep sacrificial love unto the
sleep of death. It is Messiahs love that would
rather suffer for the Bride and cover her with
his own blood than allow her to take the judgment
for her sin. Mankind made in the image of his
Creator can walk with Him in the cool of the
evening without fear. Yeshua earned this for us!
32The Spirit of Reverence (Yirat Adonai) Leviticus
1930 'You shall keep My sabbaths and revere My
sanctuary I am the LORD. The Spirit of Reverence
is the Sabbath Spirit that creates rest for the
Bride of Messiah. We rest in work we didnt
do-Messiahs work! Because He declares the end
from The Beginning, Reverence is the foundation
for receiving wisdom, the first Spirit of Adonai.
They are connected at their bases on the
menorah Proverbs 910 The fear of the LORD is
the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of
the Holy One is understanding. Psalm 11110
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom
A good understanding have all those who do His
commandments His praise endures forever.

34PASSOVER - DAY ONE
- In preparation for their salvation, Adonai
separated the Israelites from the Egyptians by
giving them light when the Egyptians experienced
thick darkness - Revelation 2123 And the city has no need of the
sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory
of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the
Lamb. - This is exactly the condition of Day One
when the Passover Lamb was slain with the words,
Let there be Light!
35UNLEAVENED BREAD - DAY TWO
- On Day Two, Elohim separated the upper and lower
waters, the Heaven and the Earth. At the Feast
of Unleavened Bread, the Holy Spirit teaches us
to separate the leaven (sin and pride) from our
homes. The home is beit, built on the foundation
of wisdom with understanding. Understanding
separates sin from the home or HaBayit, the
Temple of the Holy Spirit in our bodies. - With this Spirit we pray May Your will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
36FIRSTFRUITS OF BARLEY - THIRD DAY
- The Feast of Firstfruits teaches the Body of
Messiah to offer the best of the first ripened
barley seeds as a sign of resurrection in
Yeshuas Spirit of Counsel. - The first ripe seeds appeared on Earth on the
Third Day of Creation. - Ruth the Moabitess was a firstfruit of the
weakened nations who returned during the Barley
Harvest following Firstfruits
37PENTECOST SHAVUOT THE FEAST OF WEEKS- FOURTH
DAY
- Seven weeks are counted from Firstfruits until
the 50th day. This is Shavuot, or sevens. - Shavuot governs the moedim. 7 x 7 represents the
completed festivals, a type of jubilee of weeks
rather than years. It is 7 tongues of fire
divided into two seasons. - Two loaves of fine wheat are offered at Shavuot,
representing both sides of the menorah, Israel
and the obedient nations restored like Ruth at
Shavuot.
38FEAST OF TRUMPETS - FIFTH DAY
- The Feast of Trumpets is Yom Teruah, or
literally, the Day of Blowing. Two silver
trumpets were blown to summon Israel. - The sea and wind currents began to blow and carry
the birds and fish on the Fifth Day. This is the
Ruach Gvurah, or Spirit of Power that Yeshua
promised to his disciples if they would remain in
Jerusalem until Shavuot. They would go to the
nations. - A second, greater resurrection occurs because the
Fifth Day is joined to the Third. The Lord
Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout,
the voice of the archangel, and trumpet of
God... The same spiritual cloud that moved the
Camp of Israel in the wilderness will gather
those who hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in
the silver trumpets.
39DAY OF ATONEMENTS - SIXTH DAY
- Yom Kippurim means day of coverings. This is
when adam, or mankind, was a man and a woman
unified in spirit and flesh. Adam knew his
wife in perfect, sinless intimacy on his wedding
day. - This day is the entrance to the intimate
coverings of the Holy of Holies in clouds of
incense, oil, and blood. - The Second Adam covered his Bride with his own
blood in the Holy of Holies and took away the
guilt of Israel as a scapegoat on Yom Kippur.
She became flesh of his flesh and bone of his
bone. - To this day, Orthodox Jews fast on their wedding
days just as they fast on Yom Kippur.
40TABERNACLES - SEVENTH DAY SHABBAT
- Tabernacles, or Sukkot, is the Feast of the
Nations. At Sukkot all Israel dwell in sukkot,
or booths, to recall the Passover from Egypt. It
is a recognition of the Kingdom of God and that
Israel rests in the completed work of the Spirit
of Messiah. - This rest in the Tabernacles of spirit-filled
flesh re-connects with the Spirit of Wisdom, a
kingdom of light with no need for sun or moon, a
Kingdom illuminated by the Holy Spirit of
Creation.

Churches of Revelation
