What are the Moedim?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Genesis 1:14<\/strong> it says, “And Elohim\u00a0said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven, to divide the day from the night: and let them be for signs<\/em><\/strong>, and for seasons<\/em><\/strong>, and for days<\/em><\/strong>, and years<\/em><\/strong>.” FOOD FOR THOUGHT: a quick side note, notice that months is missing from here (using the sun or moon for months is not proper according to this first passage). The word for “seasons” in this verse is “Moedim” in the original Hebrew (Strong’s #H4150). The word means “appointed times” or “dress rehearsals”. These are times that Yahweh has declared that He will meet with his people. They are times when we are to be remembering what He did for us the first time he came, and\u00a0practicing what we will be doing when He comes back the second time. There is a misconception that “moedim” means “feasts”. Some of them are feasts. One, in particular, is a day of fasting. The moedim that take place in the spring, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits<\/em> (Barley) <\/strong>(Within the week of Unleavened Bread) and Pentecos<\/em><\/strong>t<\/strong>,<\/em> representing the first coming of Yeshua as the lamb of God, and commemorating the giving of the Commandments on Mount Horeb (Exodus 20<\/strong>), and the Holy Spirit in the upper room (Acts 2)\u00a0. The moedim that take place in the fall, The Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles<\/em><\/strong>, serve as reminders that Yahshua is coming back with the sound of a trumpet to claim His bride and that we should be walking in introspection to prepare ourselves for that day. There are eight moedim in total. Thus the eight appointed times remind us of Yahweh’s complete plan. He created the universe, We fell into sin, He redeemed us, and He is going to restore all things to their former perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
