Some people have great faith in the Creator; others, not so much. Why this difference? I will give a few examples to show that great faith comes from internalizing His Great Faithfulness. He is now gathering His people back to the Land not for the people’s good behavior but for His Name (Ezek 20:44; 36:22,32). And He will not allow the people to be scattered again (Amos 9:15). We see from the Ezekiel passages that His Word is True; therefore, it’s not a huge leap to believe that Amos 9:15 is also true. YHWH promised He would regather His people Israel back to the Land, and wow, look! He’s done it (1948). That’s the big picture and yet there are issues we face in our lives where we must personally rely upon His faithfulness to lead and guide us every step. (Isa. 30:20-21). I refer to these prophecies simply to show that my faith is based upon His record of being faithful, in the history of Israel and in personal life. Yes, we all know that Israel has been disobedient and has suffered as a result (Dvarim/Deut. 28) but YAH would never forsake His own child (Isaiah 49:14-16). Continuing on thru verse 26 that He will multiply His people upon the Land once again, and the oppressors’ violent deeds will come to nothing. Again, this has nothing to do with Israel’s behavior or obedience; notwithstanding, Israel will respond to His love and mercy with her obedience (Ezekiel 11:16-21; 36:17-31, Isaiah 66:23).

As for Christmas, I gradually arrived at the point a couple years ago where I no longer celebrate it. In short, it is futile to try to sanctify a pagan feast. Sanctify = “Holy-ize” = “Kadosh-ize” = “make Set Apart” and we already have the Set Apart Feasts as determined by YHWH in Leviticus 23. Who else but YHWH has the authority to declare Set Apart Feasts?
INSERT: This isn’t as upsetting to life as it seems at first. Biblically, we can still attend feasts if we feel it is beneficial. See “What about Feasts” for comments on 1 Cor. 10:27.
This article is intended for those who are
interested in the Feasts of YHWH.
Sept 29th, 2011:
The other day, on the 27th, I wrote in my email newsletter: “the NASA data predicts the New Moon will fall just after sunset on the 28th. The
Rabbinic calendar’s 19-year cycle, based on more antiquated scientific data, also places the Rosh Chodesh (Head of the Month) on the 28th. But are they right? We shall see!”
Well, we looked and looked… and no moon! We knew
that the moon would set just 25 minutes after the
sunset. That normally means that there’s still too
much light to see the moon before it dips below the
horizon. Last night, it proved to be true.
Therefore, the 28th cannot be the Day of Trumpets (Yom
Teruah) nor can it be the start of the countdown to
Yom Kippur and Feast of Tabernacles. It may start
at sunset tonight if the New Moon is visible.
I say this from here in Israel where everyone has
the day off, the streets are quiet, and people are
celebrating in homes, eating apples and honey.
BREAKING: My friends and I have just spotted the
sliver of the New Moon in Jerusalem and in Rosh
haAyin, which is in Samaria, Israel.
Witnesses: Arieh Levi, Willy Andrechuk, David
Cachicas, Daniela Cachicas, Oriana Torres, Sarita
Torres, Marta Alvarez, Teddy Chadwick.
Therefore, the Seventh Month for 2011 has begun at
sunset on the 29th September. The Day of Trumpets
is from sunset on the 29th to sunset on the 30th.
This is the first day of the month and begins the
countdown to Yom Kippur and Succot.

***********************************************
I don’t know exactly why the NASA data seems to be
incorrect for 2 months in a row. I’ve come to
expect that fro the rabbinic calendar, which quite
often fails to line up with the sighting of the
moon. You can’t make a 19-year cycle using
whatever information is available at the time, and
expect it to be correct forever. The earth’s
rotation is slowing down, the moon’s orbit is
slowing down, even the speed of light is slowing
down! Things change.
As to why the NASA data doesn’t seem to be holding
up, well, maybe there’s been a change in the
earth’s tilt. Perhaps the tilt is related to the
magnetic pole shift, which appears to be in
acceleration, and is now at 40 miles per year, as
reported Jan 11th, 2011 on NBC News:
Rather than depending on NASA, the “rabbis,” or
men, or traditions of men (Mark 7:8-9, Matt.
15:6,9) I propose that we follow the Bible, rely on
YHWH, and “look UP” for our redemption draweth nigh
(Lk 21:28).
To him that made great lights: for his mercy
endureth for ever:
The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for
ever:
The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy
endureth for ever.
-Psalm 136:7-9
in love with Messiah Yeshua,

Teaching Session by Teddy Chadwick & Gavriel Ogugua. [like]
On Sept 21, Teddy and Gavriel held a seminar at Christ Church in Sheridan Indiana on such topics as the Feasts, Torah for believers, grafted into the Olive Tree, and the two resurrections of Revelation 20. We shared Scriptures, visions and dreams from the prophetic realm. We caught most of it on this recording above.

“And there will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars. And on earth, distress of the nations and confusion from the roaring of the sound of the sea. and upheaval that casts out life from men, because of fear of what is about to come upon the earth. And the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man who will come in the clouds with much power and great glory. But when these things begin to happen, have courage and lift up your heads, because your salvation draws near.” (Luke 21:25-28 AENT).
This might seem like freaky stuff here. But there’s hope: Here, Yeshua the Messiah has foretold that we can know what is happening certain signs. Of course, only followers and disciples of Yeshua would bother to pay any attention to His words. But people have been benefiting from Yeshua’s words for many centuries.

The increase in earthquakes over the past 50 years or so is just the beginning. I believe that there are some very good reasons why they will increase, and it’s all under control of YHWH the Creator who said way in advance that He will do these things. The following passage describes what happens in the near future when people figure out that earthquakes are coming:
“And the kings of the earth, and the nobles, and the captains of thousands, and the rich men, and the men of valor, and every servant and free man hid themselves in caves, and in the clefts of the mountains; and they said to the mountains and to the clefts, ‘Fall over us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?'” (Revelation 6:15-17 AENT).
Can the Creator make earthquakes? Well, if He’s the Creator, the answer is self-evident: He can do whatever he pleases. If your curiosity is piqued, leave a message or find some way to start your search for the Truth. I recommend the Bible, from cover to cover. Pick up a great one here and here.
May the Creator bless your path with light.
Teddy,

On June 15, 2011, there will be a full lunar eclipse visible only in Israel, parts of Africa, and the Middle East, as well as parts of Asia and Australia; but VERY well seen in Israel, AND visible in the night sky for a longer period of time than normal. Arguably, this bit of info is quite significant, depending upon what you know about prophecy, eschatology, and current world events. Let’s check into it a bit further:
Background:
A full lunar eclipse is a bit rare. It’s called a blood moon because only the infra-red band of light gets around the earth and bounces off the moon to be seen by us, only in certain places on the globe depending on the angle. What’s even more rare is when 4 of these blood moons happen in a row.
(Additional background about moon signs here).
What’s even more rare is when all four of these consecutive blood moons occur on YHWH’s Feast Days, commonly and erroneously known as Jewish Festivals. (In the Bible, the Feasts are called “The Feasts of YHWH,” never “Jewish Feasts”).
So, four consecutive blood moons, all occurring on Feasts of YHWH. And that’s what is going to happen in 2014 and 2015. Meaning, Israel will see the world will witness full lunar eclipses on Passover 2014, Tabernacles 2014, Passover 2015, and Tabernacles 2015.
Ok, back up a little, and let’s get a few questions out of the way:
“Does YHWH use the moon for signs?”
Yes: Genesis 1:14, Luke 21:25.
“Are Feasts relevant to YHWH, and related to the moon?”
Yes: Leviticus 23.
“Are blood-red moons prophetic in Scripture?”
Yes: Joel 2:10,31; Acts 2:20; Rev. 6:12.
Update: I just received a photo of the June 15 eclipse so I’ll insert it below:

“My hand is opening an extraordinary door, leading to something glorious that I’ve kept specifically for this generation. The marketplace will be shaken and my Spirit shall cause wells to spring up in places least expected.
“On Tuesday, I require all of My warriors to shut their mouths.” Wow! A silent day? Impossible. But then He proceeded, “I want to hear NO COMPLAINING or negative words proceeding from their mouths on Tuesday specifically.”
Malachi 3:16:
“Then those who feared the Lord SPOKE TO ONE ANOTHER…..AND THE LORD LISTENED….AND HEARD THEM; SO A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE HIM FOR THEM THAT FEARED THE LORD, AND THAT THOUGHT UPON HIS NAME.” The word “spoke” in Hebrew is Dabar which means to “commune, command, declare, pronounce and subdue.” The word “thought” is Chashab which means, “to value and weave.” YES!!!!
