SEVEN FEAST DAYS IN THE MAKING OF A CHILD pt1
Pastor Charles Holmes
08-21-2013
THE AVERAGE PREGNANCY IS 280 DAYS AND IS COUNTED FROM THE FIRST DAY OF THE LAST MENSTRUAL CYCLE BEFORE CONCEPTION.
THE IDEAL JEWISH YEAR WOULD START EXACTLY AT THE SPRING EQUINOX, WITH THE FIRST DAY OF NISAN, THE NEW MOON OF THE FIRST MONTH,OCCURING ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING, MARCH THE 21ST. INTERESTING, WE KNOW THAT KISLEV IS THE ACCURATE DATE OF THE FEAST OF DEDICATION, WHICH OUR LORD DID COMMEMORATE
JOHN 10:22-25
22 ¶ And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
I AM TAKING THE WILLIAMS OBSTETRIC FOR THESE DATES OF THE BABYS DEVELOPMENT.
ON THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH, THE EGG APPEARS.
LEVITICUS 23:5
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover.
THE JEWS USE AN EGG ON THE PASSOVER TABLE AS SYMBOLIC OF THE NEW LIFE THEY WERE GRANTED BY THE SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB IN EGYPT.
THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF A PREGNANCY DOES THE SAME THING AS THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF GOD'S FESTIVAL YEAR: IT BRINGS THE CHANCE OF NEW LIFE.
GOD'S CALENDAR IS A LUNAR CALENDAR BASED ON THE PHASES OF THE MOON RATHER THAN THE EARTH'S REVOLUTIONS AROUND THE SUN.
EACH MONTH STARTS WITH A NEW MOON, REACHING A FULL MOON IN THE MIDST OF THE TWENTY-EIGHT DAY CYCLE. SO THE PASSOVER ALWAYS FALLS ON A FULL MOON THE FIRST FULL MOON OF SPRING.
THE PASSOVER IS THE FEAST OF SALVATION. ON THIS DAY, BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB ("WITHOUT BLEMISH, A MALE..." EX.12:5) THE HEBREW NATION WAS DELIVERED FROM BONDAGE.
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB DELIVERS FROM SLAVERY, THE JEW FROM EGYPT, THE CHRISTIAN FROM SIN. SO WE CAN SEE WHY OUR LORD WAS HIMSELF WAS SACRIFICED ON PASSOVER.
MATTHEW 26:26-29
26 ¶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

64 Now, when the Bible--when the battle is all over, when everything is finished, then what is the next thing we do? What is the thing we do after the battle's over? Did you know what we do? We meet Melchisedec. Matthew the 26th chapter and the 26th verse, now we got her; here we are, at the last supper.
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to His disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the new testament, for--which is shed for many for the remission of sins... (S-i-n-s, sins, Christians who does things wrong)
All right, but--but listen, 29th verse...
... I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom.
What? The same thing Melchisedec did after Abraham had got his position, set his men in order, and won the battle, and had come home, and Melchisedec come out with bread and wine. After the battle's over, then we'll eat the wedding supper with the Lord Jesus in the new world. Oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord. All right.
THE NEXT FEAST, UNLEAVENED BREAD MUST OCCUR THE VERY NEXT NIGHT, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH, ACCORDING TO LEV. 23:6.
LEVITICUS 23:6
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
FERTILIZATION MUST OCCUR WITHIN TWENTY FOUR HOURS OR THE EGG WILL PASS ON.
THE EGG ,FOR THE PASSOVER, AND THE IDEA OF FERTILIZATION THE PLANTING OF THE SEED FOR THE UNLEAVENED BREAD, THE BURIAL OF OUR LORD. HIS CRUCIFIXION ON THE PASSOVER GAVE EACH OF US THE CHANCE OF LIFE ETERNAL.

122 See, you've got to get in that right place before He will receive your sacrifice. See, got to come into it. Watch.
... in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
Thou shall eat no leavened, bread in it;...
123 What does that typify in the sacrifice? Don't mix it with any creed, got to be the Word. "No leavened bread." Leaven is the... You know what a leaven is in anything. "A little leaven leavens the whole lump," the whole lump is the Body. You can't put one speck of denomination or creed into Christ. No, sir, it won't work.
124 You remember the last Thursday night's message? Your old husband must be dead. Right. Your new Husband is the Word.
... seven days shall thou eat unleavened bread therein,...
125 "Seven days," what does that typify? The complete Seven Church Ages, seven days. Why'd they have to eat it seven days? Before what? Before going out. And the whole church age, from the beginning to the end, has to live only on the Word of God of that age. So your Roman creed, Methodist, Baptist, and Pentecostal creed's all dead.
126 Now watch.
... therein, even the bread of affliction;... (Persecuted for It; Luther, Wesley, Pentecostals; all persecuted, and so will you.)... for thou comest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste:... thou mayest remain the day when... remember the day when thou comest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
And there shall be no leavened bread seen in... with thee in all thy coast seven days;...
127 In the beautiful Bride of Christ, after Her death through the Dark Ages by the Roman empire, that She had to die, "Unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground." The Bridegroom had to come, the perfect Masterpiece of God. You all heard my message on that.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?
THE FERTILIZED EGG TRAVELS DOWN THE TUBE AT ITS OWN SPEED TOWARD THE UTERUS. IT MAY TAKE ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO SIX DAYS BEFORE IT IMPLANTS.
THE MEDICAL TERM IS IMPLANTION. THIS IS THE TIME THAT THE FERTILIZED EGG ARRIVES SAFELY IN THE UTERUS AND BEGINS ITS MIRACULOUS GROWTH INTO A HUMAN BEING.

166 And like a baby formed in its mother's womb. When the baby comes into the--to the mother's womb by the little germ, it crawls into the egg. It doesn't form one cell a human, the next a dog, and the next a cat, and the next a horse. It's all human cells because it's building off of an original human cell.
167 And when a man has been borned again by the Word of God, predestinated to Eternal Life, called "The Elected," it'll be Word of God on top of Word, Word on Word! Not a denominational creed and then a Word, and a creed; and it won't work. You can't have that leaven in It! Only one Eternal Life, Jesus Christ the Word:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,...
FROM HERE WE HAVE A SLOWLY DEVELOPING EMBRYO FOR A LONG TIME, IT GOES THROUGH STAGES BUT THERE'S REALLY NO DRAMATIC CHANGE UNTILL IT BECOMES AN ACTUAL FETUS.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PICTURE AT THIS STAGE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A TADPOLE, THEN IT HAS FLIPPERS, AND THEN BEGINS TO LOOK LIKE A LITTLE MAN FROM MARS,THERE YOU CAN SEE A HUMAN BABY.
ALL OF THIS TAKES FIFTY DAYS.

227 Then in Leviticus, now, how perfect the interpretation is here with the Word! Because, see, immediately following, the pentecostal jubilee followed the day of an atonement; the order of the feast time. Between the pentecostal feast, to the atonement, the sound of the trumpets for the atonement, was the pentecostal feast, the long period of time. Look, there was a long period of time between the pentecostal feast, to the calling of the--of the trump... the sounding of the trumpets, the--the trumpets to be sound; a long period of time. Frankly, it was fifty days, from the--from the--from the feast of pentecost to the feast of the atonement, was fifty days. Now, fifty days is exactly seven sabbaths.
228 And seven sabbaths is the seven church years, Church Ages. Get it? See? See? Now, the Jews has been blinded, waiting all this time, while the pentecostal Firstfruits has been poured out upon the Church. And we've come down through the martyr ages, and down through the reformer ages, and now in the calling-out age; three sections, same Spirit; like Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, same One. See? But, Seven Church Ages, being seven sabbaths.
229 Exactly seven sabbaths from the--from the pentecostal jubilee trumpet... a pentecostal jubilee feast, until... The waving of the sheaf, and then the pentecostal jubilee. And then from the jubilee to the atonement is seven sabbaths, fifty days, and at the end of the fifty days is the--the atonement is made. You get it? Now, and this has been a type, that the Church...
FIFTY DAYS BRINGS US UP TO PENTECOST, THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT THE SAME WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF THAT UPPER ROOM. THEY HAD GOD LIFE IN THEM.
336-4 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
But now He is standing in the midst of the Church. As He stands there revealing Who He is in this last age, He calls Himself the "Author of the creation of God". This is ANOTHER CREATION. This has to do with the church. This is a special designation of Himself. He is the CREATOR of that church. The heavenly Bridegroom created his own bride. As the Spirit of God, He came down and created in the virgin Mary the cells from which His body was born. I want to repeat that. He created the very cells in the womb of Mary for that body. It was not enough for the Holy Spirit to simply give life to a human ovum supplied by Mary. That would have been sinful mankind producing a body. That would not have produced the "Last Adam". Of Him it was said "Lo a body hast Thou (Father) prepared for Me." God (not Mary) provided that body. Mary was the human incubator and she carried that Holy Child and brought Him to birth. It was a God-man. He was the Son of God. He was of the NEW creation. Man and God met and joined; He was the first of this new race. He is the head of this new race.
Colossians 1:18,
"And He is the head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence."
II Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold all things are become new."
There you can see that though man was of the OLD ORDER or creation, now in UNION WITH CHRIST, he has become the NEW CREATION of God.
Ephesians 2:10,
"For we are His workmanship CREATED IN UNION WITH CHRIST JESUS unto good works."
Ephesians 4:24,
"And that ye put on the NEW MAN which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
This New Creation is not the old creation made over, or it could not be called a new creation. This is exactly what it says it is, "NEW CREATION". It is another creation, distinct from the old one. No longer is He dealing by ways of the flesh. That was how He dealt with Israel. He chose Abraham, and of Abraham's issue through the godly Isaac line. But now out of every kindred, tribe and nation He has purposed a new creation. He is the first of that creation. He was God created in the form of man. Now by His Spirit He is creating many Sons unto Himself. God the creator, creating Himself a part of His creation.
This is the true revelation of God. This was His purpose. This purpose took form through election. That is why He could look right down to the last age when all would be over and see Himself still in the midst of the church, as author of this New Creation of God. His Sovereign power brought it to pass. By His own decree He elected the members of this New Creation. He predestinated them to the adoption of children according to the good pleasure of His will. By His omniscience and omnipotence He brought it to pass. How else could He know that He would be standing in the midst of the church receiving glory from His brethren if He did not make sure? All things He knew, and all things He worked out according to what He knew in order that His purpose and good pleasure be brought to pass.
Ephesians 2:11
"In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will."
Hallelujah! Aren't you glad that you belong to Him!
WE WILL TAKE UP FROM HERE ON SUNDAY MORNING.
