Hebrew Calendar Valid Today?

March 2016
I had a visit from our friendly neighbourhood Jehovah’s witness today offering me a chance to join them in March for their Passover memorial…this created a question in my mind as I’m anticipating Passover in the end of April. So why the difference?
It reminded me of an article by John Ogwyn, a thoughtful gentleman that my husband worked with for a few years.
I think he addresses the question of when we should observe the Holy Days with insight and clarity, and in accordance with the scriptures. Here is his original article with some subtitles added.

The Hebrew Calendar

By John Ogwyn

Since 1986, the calendar has been a recurring source of doctrinal controversy in the Church of God. Many articles and papers have proposed different methods of calculating the dates of the annual festivals, and at least a half-dozen different calendars and calculation methods have been offered.
This has troubled many sincere brethren who want to do what pleases God. With all the controversy, they are unsure. But does God really expect each individual Church member to become an expert on calendar matters?  More

Coming Kingdom of God

Daniel: “I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.
And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14

Incorruptible King
Coming Kingdom of God – The Good News of the Gospel
Daniel reveals the mystery of the coming Kingdom of God. So what did he see and what did he reveal to the king of Babylon? What was the meaning of Nebuchadnezzar’s awesome vision? What kingdoms did the statue represent, and how would they come to an end? What Kingdom would replace all the previous kingdoms and fill the whole world? Who was the Son of Man? The scriptures reveal answers to this mysterious prophecy, answers that may find their fulfillment in our day.

 

Fruit of the KingdomComing Kingdom of God – The Beginning of the Gospel of the Kingdom
There is a great continuity in the message of scripture. Long before Christ appeared the hope of the Kingdom was prophesied by David. Malachi wrote of the messenger who would prepare the “way for the Lord.” Later Mark recorded the “beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ” proclaiming the message of the gospel of the Kingdom of God, by word and by action. Are we imitating Christ’s example and so fully following the message of the gospel of the Kingdom as faithful disciples? Learn a lesson from Jesus parable of the trees.

Coming Kingdom of God – The King’s Message about His Kingdom

Almost two thousand years ago Christ came and brought a message about the king and his kingdom. He instructed his disciples, all who are called of the Father, that we should pray that his Kingdom should come soon. But it is not here yet. So, what is the secret of the Kingdom that Christ revealed to his disciples, but not to the world? What is the nature of the realm of the King’s sovereign rule? What is the job the King wants us to do?

Jesus spoke of the farmer planting the seeds and the mystery of the seeds growing “spontaneously,” as an analogy of the Kingdom of God. What did he mean, and what are the implications for those disciples called to sow the seed? Daniel, Isaiah, and David all add to our understanding of how the Kingdom of God will grow, as both a physical and spiritual reality. Let the scriptures reveal the answers to this great marvel.

 

Saint of the Kingdom?Coming Kingdom of God – Saints of the Kingdom of God
Do you know a “Saint?” Are you a “Saint?” There are many misconceptions about saints, among the religious! But the scripture gives us all we need to know to become a saint, set apart by God and different from the world. Learn from the life of Paul, Dorcas, and the disciples the reality of living as the saints of the Kingdom of God.

Christ will return and rule as KING of kings. But who are the kings who will rule with Christ? How do they gain their power? How will they rule? This mystery is an important part of God’s plan for the restoration of the Kingdom of God on earth. So what does the bible reveal about the time when the saints will rule?

Prayers of the Saints

  • When was the last time you prayed to the Father in faith, knowing He would hear your prayer? Do we underestimate the power of our prayers, and of the Lord Jesus who intercedes on our behalf before the Father? Do we understand what God requires of us when we appear before Him to make our requests? The prayers of the saints, all the faithful sons and daughters of God, are more important than you may realize.

mystery of God's familyThe Mystery of God’s Family

The historicity of King David is no longer disputed due to recent archaeological evidence. David had wanted to build a house for God, but God turned it around and promised to build David a house – a dynasty, a family, that would not be forgotten. Yet the even greater reality is that the Father is offering all those who love Him and walk with Him, a place in His house, His family. What is the mystery of God’s family and what will it mean to live in God’s house?

The Lord Our Shepherd- Part 12

goodness and mercy will follow meHow do we understand “goodness and mercy will follow me?” David was confident in his proclamation and his understanding of God’s covenant loyalty. When we face tragedy or our world seems to be “falling apart” how can we have the same confidence that David had in God’s goodness and mercy? Do we have confidence that we will “dwell in the house of the Lord forever,” not just as “long as we live.”

David annointed kingDavid’s Anointing

What does David mean in Psalms 23 when he says “anointed my head with oil?” What is the historical context and what does this statement portend for the future? When we consider God’s plan for bringing us into his family, what does the “anointing” represent? What did David understand about “anointing” that is important for us to consider, in our walk with God today?
