The festival season is over, a new cycle of Torah begins!
Posted by - admin : Category - Adonai, Fall festivals, simchat torahOne of the points of the fall festival season is the feast of Simchat Torah, or the celebration of the Word of Adonai. Jews and messianics alike recognize this as the season in which the reading cycle of Torah is completed, finishing up the final chapters or Deuteronomy and coming back around to the first chapters of Genesis.
What may be less appreciated in some circles is the prophetic significance of Simchat Torah. For Messiah Yeshua is himself the Word of the L-rd, and so, just as the rest of the fall festivals are shadows of the end times to come, so is Simchat Torah.
It is a recognition of the time when every knew will bow and every tongue confess that Yeshua is the promised messiah, that there is no other, and that all members of the chosen people of G-d, born or grafted in, Jew and Gentile alike, who worship the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, will come together to spend eternity with the living W-rd of Adonai, worshiping him in unity, spirit and truth.
It really is a significant, though often overlooked and under-appreciated, cap to the fall festival season. Its prophetic fulfillment will take far more than the Sahara hotel to accommodate; it will take an entirely renewed Jerusalem.
Shalom! Next year, in Jerusalem!
