Below is a testimony from a person in Germany who celebrated their first lunar shabbat.....

 

WHAT HAPPENED ON LUNAR SHABBAT...

 

Shalom brother, here again-

As yesterday I told you that things got revealed to me- actually it was HE HIMSEF who came upon me!
On that holy Shabbat and the wonderful outtime I had with Him, my Beloved Ishi (I am His basherte- 'fiancee')- He gave me His ketubah- His Holy Torah into me more revealed again, to keep all HIS mitzvot (commandments) by His outpoured love into my heart -by His Ruach- And Yahushua Himself put on me HIS Ring of engagement for the soon future wedding with the  Moshiach of Abba YAH  - the weddingring -which are actually, the mitzvot a-l-l  613 and We (the FAther and the Son are now bound in them together as ONE for ever and ever, in all eternity!

It's such wonderful precious intimate meeting we had- I can not tell it in words- it is the real unification what happened and I'm so happy that I could embrace whole the creation of our Yahweh and I'm as again newborn in HIS love and Shalom.

And in the morning HE gave me the understanding that in HIS Kingdom there will be of all appointed times (fessts)  left 3, which are eternal - the weekly Shabbat, the monthly Rosh Chodesh and the annual Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) are the holy appointed times of Yahweh that will continue to be celebrated and really observed during the Millenium Reign, when Yahushua reigns on the earth (Yeshayahu 66:23, Zekaryah 14:16).As such, these miqra kodesh (set apart rehearsals) are still continuing.  The final day of man for eternity will still be in offing during the Millenial reign, only to reach complete fulfillment after the Great White Throne  Judgement. In this context, Sukkot, as well as Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh, attains their final and complete fulfillment in the New Yahrushalyim- YAHWEH SHAMMAH, in the re-newed heavens and earth of eternity, when Yahweh El Shaddai and the Lamb become our eternal Dwelling Place (Rev. 21:22).
Yahweh is Omniscient and so He is always with us. He will never leave us or forsake us BUT He requests that we meet with HIM at certain specific times: Twice daily for the Olah Tamid (ola=draw near to YHWH)/(Tamid= daily)- give thanks and praise to Yahweh at least twice a day; weekly Shabbat; monthly Rosh Chodesh; then for the several special times of the mo'edim, the Feast of Yahweh. These are His appointed times of gathering together as the assembly of His people, Yisra'el, to worship Him.
The reflection of a romantic relationship, with special dates gives us the impact how urgent  important these appointed times of praise and worship to Yahweh are and that it will draw us closer and closer to HIM and make our relationship to some thing beautiful intimate as for each of us and as a nation.

That reflects that what happened on my first weekly lunar cyrcle shabbat, something I never before experienced in that intimacy as it happened to me and some thing is born in me as if I'm more pregant with His love.....

The Hebrew months are lunar months; unfortunately so are the constantly choose of  the 7th day shabbat on SATURN-day (meaning of saturday) not scriptural at all! because we never know when the New moon day precisly will occur! and from that First day of the month, we have to count to the next weekly shabbat.

The prince must make himself responsible for providing the burnt offerings, the oblation and the libations for feasts, New Moons, Sabbaths and all the solemn appointed festivals of the House of Israel. He must provide the sacrifice for sin, the oblation, the burnt offerings and the communion sacrifices to make expiation for the House of Yisra'el. Yehezqel 45:17)

That refers to the Millenium Reign of YAhushua (Prince-Sar), when all flesh shall worship Yahweh on Shabbat, on the New Moons and on the Fest of Tabernacles- Sukkot. Yeshayahu 66:23; Yehezeqel 46.3).

Burnt offerings were to be offered unto Yahweh twice daily, on Rosh Chodesh, on Shabbat and on the festivals. In a burnt offering, fire is a key element. Fire always brings changes in the composition of something or to a substance with which the fire comes in contact to.  The lambs (2) sacrificed upon the altar were totally consumed by the fire. Rabbi J.H Hertz writes in his Pentateuch commentary: "...on the Hebrew alta, the perpetual fire... was but a witness of Israeel's unremitting zeal in the service of (El) and typified its religion which embraces the whole of life and is not limited to certain special times or places."
Like wise our spiritual slaughter offerings are to be burnt  offerings of worship in which we allow the Ruach haKodesh to fill and to consume us, to burn away the chaff from our lives, so that we are changed as a result of beeing in His presence (or have being in His P.) Yahweh wants us to bring burnt offerings to Him on His Rosh Chodesh.

The Command of the Ola ha Tamid (draw near to Yahweh daily bringing our sacrifices)- Bemidbar 28/EX.) Yahweh tells us that He desires to meet with us, in a special way, twice a day. That is too a picture on Torah and the burnt offerings which means that we give our undivided attention at these appointed times of meeting, to allow ourselves to be consumed with all that He is and does, to allow His love to consume us. His love is a consuming fire.

When we meet with Yahweh towards the beginning of the evening (what actually is the new day) we seek His Face before we entrust our souls to Him for safekeeping through the night, we will arise refreshed and strengthened in His service.
When we meet with Him at dawn, or early in the morning (midst of the scriptural day!), we are meeting Him before we set out to deal with the pressing matters of our earthly day. If we truly desire to grow into a intimate relationship with our Beloved Yahweh, it is a 'must' to at least meet Him at both these daily times of worship.

That was that, what was happening to me yesterday on His Holy Shabbat whole the day long ongoing forever. I noticed that it got it's start by praying the prayers of the Siddur- especial the Amidah prayer- 19 blessings in  standing- for me some times ago. These regulary blessings about all areas in the life as Yisra'el in  the whole world, brought me closer and closer to Yahweh and be in His presence.

In the Siddur I found that little prayer for the prayer at Rosh Chodesh:

Our Yah and Yah of our forefathers, renew us this month to the good and for a blessing, for  joy,  for redemption and comfort, for preservation and for providence, for life and shalom, for forgivness of sin and guilt (and atonement for the misdeed), for Your Am Yisra'el (People  Israel) You choosed out of a-l-l- nations and set up / appointed mitzvot (commandments/laws) of the New moon days. Baruch atah Yahweh, who set apart Israel and the New Moon days!

In an other longer prayer for Shabbat I read: The New Moon You created to be for the CHANGES of times, the sunball, who unchanged keeps its track.  As the Moon changes, the times will also because they are submitted under the New moons schedule by Yahweh! Shabbat can therefore not fall  constantly at the same day and why actually shall it be a day which the pagans 'idolized' Saturn with???

Beloved, I really appreciated your comments you write down to our brother  - very good stand on the truth and very good points you made- and as it was in some more minds, you may put me next time on your list for observing lunar shabbat too or mention me in those writings, because of the the amazing Truth behind it and I really belief and know strongly in my heart that Yahweh reveals this to me too what is  HIS phenomenal TRUTH. You know:   it only made Plong in my heart!!!!!!! and my eyes were opened for His Amazing  Plan of Truth  and wide understanding for things we even not can imagine is growing!
 

I want to bless you with the text of a song, an other brother of us has written: Brian Samtur for the CD: Open the Gates:

Body to Body

In the Lord as man and wife
in His love as one for life..
hold me, take me..in your arms
make me body to body as one
whisper so tender, a moment's surrender
body to body as one.
Sigh, the bauty of a sigh
We'll kiss the world goodbye
release us from its lies.
Time, all we need is time
to discover our own rhyme
in his love we're sublime.
You'll never be lonely, my love for you only
body to body as one
in the Lord as man and wife
in his love as one for life..
yeshua.
