Tomorrow is Pentecost, also called “Festival of Firstfruits” and “Feast of Weeks”. During the Days of Unleavened Bread, a sheaf of grain is waved before God as an offering. That grain is kept and used to make flour, which is in turn used to make bread that will also be…
Yep, you heard that right. We can no longer go to the bathroom. In the Bible, the only recorded instances of someone doing “number 2” are pagans, pagan gods or wicked kings. Therefore, we as true Christians must avoid it at all costs! Witness false gods: 26 So they prepared…
Last week, I received information about the Feast of Tabernacles in Chiang Mai, Thailand as hosted by Legacy Institute. Chiang Mai is conveniently located so that people can travel from Bangkok, Laos or Myanmar in order to attend the Feast. It will be once again held at the Empress Hotel…
Well, the Days of Unleavened Bread seemed to fly by this year! One thing that may have gotten overlooked was the wave sheaf offering that took place in ancient Israel during the DUB. The significance of the wave sheaf offering is discussed in the AC article “Reflections: Jesus as the…
