A Christian Festival

Isaiah 43:10. "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD (Yahwah), "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god formed, nor will there be one after me.

The key is the word "formed." Absolutely anything that has no beginning does not exist. God says that He is the FIRST AND THE LAST. Therefore He Began. That is why His name means "Life Began."
Yes no god formed created to include the Son of man Jesus, a god

The first commandment have no gods before him to include ones own self as a son of God (Christian)

John 10:34-36;Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
;If he called them (Christians) gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Two gods working as one. the Son of man jesus working with the invisible Father

The dynamic duo (original) . Then the Lone Ranger and tonto

Christ is a created being according to the bible

Proverbs 8:23
I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
Christ was formed in the beginning of creation by Yahwah.

Christ Pre-existed.

John 6:41
At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

John 6:42
They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’ ?”

John 8:42
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.

John 8:58
“Very truly I tell you,” Yahshua answered, “before Abraham was born, I existed!”

John 10:36
what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?

John 17:5
5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

John 17:24
“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.







Proverbs 8

1 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O people, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right;
they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.
(See Isaiah 11:2.)

13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.
15 By me kings reign
and rulers issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,
and nobles—all who rule on earth.
17 I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
18 With me are riches and honor,
enduring wealth and prosperity.
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;
what I yield surpasses choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.
22 “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,
before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago,

at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25 before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was constantly at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
32 “Now then, my children, listen to me;
blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34 Blessed are those who listen to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35 For those who find me find life
and receive favor from the Lord.

36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
all who hate me love death.”
 
It commemorates Christ second coming.
Thank you. Do all of the festivals preemptively commemorate Christ's second coming?

How is the answer not the first coming, his incarnation? Did Jesus not fulfill many (if not all) of the foreshadowed elements of the various festivals? And doesn't the New Testament tell us that very point? For example, isn't the Passover fulfilled in the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus during his first appearance? Was not the Passover altered to become the Lord's Supper and no longer called the Passover meal by the epistolary authors? Which part, if any, of the Passover is left unfulfilled? What part of the second coming does the Old Testament Passover commemorate?

I know that's a lot of questions so gimme a summary paragraph and I'll ask specific questions based on your answer where needed.

Christ is the Holy Spirit of the Father that powerfully worked in the Son of man Jesus in the same as he works in and with all his children born from above

Jesus was part of the plan from the foundation the six days Christ did work .Jesus' his name is writen in the lamb book of life slain from that foundation .

Jesus is not the Father the one good teaching master. Christ is the anointing holy Spirit that worked in Jesus

One was confused and desired to venerate the dying flesh of the Son of man Jesus .Jesus gave glory to the father. He would never blaspheme the name of the one good teaching master as Lord

Mark 10:17-18 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?;And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.


God is not a dying Jewish man as King of kings. The Father alone is God almighty

Many signs and wonders seekers dismiss the first century reformation the return of reign of Christ having giver over his power to atheist Jew to do that which they should not of .

1 Samael 8: 4-9Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together,(not called by God) and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
;And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.(jealous of all the surrounding pagan nations. Out of sight out of mind) But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

The pagan foundation "out of sight out of mind" (God calls fools, no god in thier hard hearts) They did not desire to reign under a invisible King of king. Kings in Israel the abomination of desolation

The first century reformation had come the shadows of ceremonial law as a sign to the unbelieving world that pointed ahead to the sufferings of Christ and the glory the cross . 1 Peter speak of it

1 Peter 1:9-11Receiving the end of your (new born again) faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:;Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

One new ceremonial shadow 1 Corinthians 11. a sign to the world not a sign unto one self .Believers have prophecy
 
Isaiah 43:10. "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD (Yahwah), "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god formed, nor will there be one after me.

The key is the word "formed." Absolutely anything that has no beginning does not exist. God says that He is the FIRST AND THE LAST. Therefore He Began. That is why His name means "Life Began."
That verse from Isaiah 43 is God saying that He was in existence before any "formed gods," those idols of false gods made by men. It doesn't mean that God Himself was formed. You said: "Absolutely anything that has no beginning does not exist." I think it is better and more biblical to say: "Absolutely anything that has no beginning does not exist, apart from almighty God." That is one reason the bible's very first words are: "In the beginning, God...."

Also, where do you get the idea that God's name means "life began?" I have looked in several bible dictionaries, and they all say it means, "Self-existent One" or similar.

Whosoever has the Spirit of Christ belongs to the Father

Born again jesus is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters, all have the same Father not seen.

The Son of man Jesus was was planned to be created and named written in a book.(2 books) Demonstrating the work of father with the Son thousands of years later (demonstration) of the finished work

God calls us gods as sons (mankind)

Gods have to to with the unseen spiritual.

The first commandment to have no other gods before the heavenly Father, it includes oneself . Idol are imaginary forms of the already invisible gods.

Patron saint a good example his and hers gods with a idol image available for each one (3500 and rising.
 
Holy Spirit is a title for Yahwah whom is a Spirit and is Holy.

Where do you get your definitions? I ask, because I have looked Elohiym up in 3 different bible dictionaries. The first gives:

0430 אלהים ‘elohiym [el-o-heem’]

plural of 0433; n m p; [BDB-43a] [{See TWOT on 93 @@ "93c" }]

IL and EL translated means "God / god-s." Hebrew words ending in ym or im means the word is plural. The middle part means "of the." The initial letter yod stands for "life or living."

Elohiym can also be spelled Elohim. El/o/h/im= God/of the/ living/ones.

And elohiym for "god-s/of the/ Living One."

Yahwah is the Living God.

Elohiym is not a name, it is a title.

God has only one name, and that is Yahwah. The short form of God's name is Yah. As in halleluyah.

Yahwah reveals His name to Moses
Exodus 3:13-15.
13 And Moses said to Elohiym, “Suppose I go to the siblings of the Israelites and say to them, 'The Elohiym of your forefathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?”
14 And Elohiym said to Moses, “The Living that Lives. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'The Living has sent me to you.”
15 And Elohiym also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, 'Yahwah, the Elohiym of your forefathers; the Elohiym of Abraham, the Elohiym of Isaac and the Elohiym of Jacob has sent me to you.' That’s my name forever, the name by which I’m to be remembered, from generation to generation.”

Exodus 6:3
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name Yahwah I did not make myself fully known to them.

Yahwah
A note on the words hawah and hayah.
Quote from pages 217 and 218 of the Brown-Driver-Briggs. Ref # 3068-69 on page 217.
Brown-Driver-Briggs on page 218 states that, "Many recent scholars explain יהוה‎ as Hiph. of הוה equals היה "

הוה hawah / HWH is hawah.
היה hayah / HYH is hayah.

Note that the vowels are all " a."
יהוה Yahwah
The vowels are "a" in the Brown-Driver-Briggs, the NIV Exhaustive Concordance, and the Strong's Exhaustive Concordances.

Thank you. Yes I agree that Elohim/Elohiym is a title rather than a name. I don't think I have called it a name in my posts, but if I did, I apologise.

God is certainly God of the living, for as Jesus said:

“"He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken."” (Mr 12:27 NKJV)

If the actual title "Elohim" means "God of the living", then it does seem surprising that bible dictionaries and commentaries don't seem to mention the fact.

You need to keep in mind that the scholars are also human and subject to error.
By the way, Christ name is Yahshua.

I agree that the scholars who produce bible dictionaries and commentaries are human, but it seems strange that of the many I have consulted over the years, I have not come across one who says that the title Elohim or Elohiym means "God of the living.

"Yeshua" may be Christ's name in Hebrew, but I speak English, and in English His name is "Jesus".

Jesus is Greek. The English language barrows from other languages. Yahshua is English.

Aramaic form (Ye / shua) (ישוע), for (Joshua / Yahshua,) which means "Yah's Salvation, or Yah's Helper"

The single Hebrew letter Yod stands for the short form of God's name Yah.

Because Hebrews dropped their 'ayins', to keep from saying God's name, hence we have "y'shua." Also spelled Yeshua, for which we have in Greek, "Iēsous" and "Isus." These are corruptions of the names that begin with "Yah."
