Notes to Download: October is Revival month
October (Cheshvan 8th month) Revival Month
In God’s economy and His calendar, the three festival periods cover the first seven months of the year. The Passover (1st month) and Pentecost (3rd month) and Trumpets, Tabernacles, and Atonement (7th month) all signify great events that are the Global plan of Salvation which are celebrated in the annual pilgrimage Feasts of Israel.
Yeshua Himself fulfilled the Passover and First Fruits in His coming to earth the first time. He was the Passover and He arose the First Fruits on the very day called for. Pentecost celebrates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that birthed the Church, the Assembly of Gods’ people. In the Third month, it was fulfilled on its day.
Now we look forward to Yeshua Jesus to fulfill the Fall Feasts of Trumpets and Tabernacles in the Seventh month on His return to earth at the Last Trump when He will again Tabernacle with man.
Could we look deeper into the calendar and find meaning and patterns in the other months as God works according to His seasons?
So, what happens between the Festivities of Trumpets, Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles and the long five (5) months to Passover when the cycle starts again?
It was during the final days of the Feast of Tabernacles “On the last day of the Feast, the Great Day Jesus stood up and proclaimed, “If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. Now, this He said about the Spirit, which those who believed in Him were to receive” (John 7:37-39) Remember John’s Gospel is mystical and written so that we may believe, so let us look past the surface.
The seventh month like the 7th day meant completeness. The plan of God is finished. Just like the week has passed ending with Tishri (the 7th month) and falls around September with its Sabbath of Feasts and rejoicing, so Cheshvan is the 8th Month and falls around October and starts a new cycle and is all about Regeneration.
The start of a new thing……symbolized by the number eight (8) in Scripture.
