The Fountain That Was Sent

  The Fountain That Was Sent To celebrate Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Feast of Ingathering, many traveled to Jerusalem to present offerings before the LORD at the Second Temple.  This feast, the seventh ordained by the LORD, follows the final harvest of the year.  Participants would construct temporary shelters, recalling the Israelites' 40-year journey in the wilderness, living in makeshift dwellings with GOD among them, and reflecting on GOD's sustenance and safeguarding.  This feast was marked by exuberant joy and immense blessings from the LORD, received through the harvest's bounty. Deu 16:13-15 " Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn (grain) and thy wine: And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. Seven days...

The Watchman Blows the Trumpet of Alarm DISCLAIMER : I will be speaking about the sun, moon, planets, stars, and constellations, but I am not endorsing the mortal sin of astrology.   The sun, moon, planets, stars, and constellations and their cycle through the year are natural occurrences set up by GOD at the time of creation ( Gen 1:14 ). This Sabbath is a special Sabbath called "Shuvah," which embodies the profound spiritual journey that is more than repentance, it's an invitation to transformation.  It takes place in the midst of the "Aseret Yemi Teshuvah" which are the Ten Days of Repentance.  It signifies more than just turning away from wrongdoings; it's about genuine introspection, acknowledging mistakes and sins, and returning to righteousness and alignment with GOD's divine will.  Shuvah is seen as a path that GOD gives us to renewal and transformation.   Mic 7:18-20  "Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by t...
