The Connection of the First Day to the Eighth Day

The Connection of the First Day to the Eighth Day

Yom Rishon: The Cosmic Beginning

Why did the Resurrection of Yeshua begin on the First Day of the Week on Feast of First Fruits?

     Creation of the Universe between 3983 BCE and 4004 BCE began on the First Day.

     The first day was a new beginning. We have learned that the 8^th day is also a new beginning.  The first day comes after the Sabbath. And the Sabbath is the last day, the end. The resurrection happens on the first day because it’s the power of what happens after the end. It’s what happens after Messiah’s end on the cross. And it is what happens after the end of the old life. It is the end of the earth and a new beginning of a new Heaven and a New Earth (Rev 21/22). So for all who reach their end, for all who let their old lives end in Messiah’s end, the resurrection is the beginning of the end. Yom Rishon is the commemoration of the cosmic beginning and the resurrection is the beginning of a new creation, the firstfruits. All who enter it become, themselves, new creations.

    All who receive the resurrection, receive Yom Rishon which is Day One. On this day, the old is wiped away. For before day one, there is nothing, no sins, no guilt, no failures, no shame. And so all things become new.

    Learn the secret of living in the power of Yom Rishon, and all things will become new, and every day will become the first day…the beginning…Day One.

    On Day One of creation, on the first day of the week on Yom Ri-shon, light was separated from darkness, and in the first millennium Adam's sin separated him from Elohim's light.

Gen 1:1; Mk 16:2-6.

    So how does this connect to the 8^th Day? Passover Week is 8 days in length but it depends on where you begin to count. I begin to count on the day the lambs come in to be chosen which is on the 10^th of Abib.

    The lambs enter on the 10^th, and die on the 14^th.  So 4 days have past (Gen 1:14—the Fourth Day) and also the 4^th Candle of the Menorrah. My day begins on the Sabbath. The resurrection occurred on Yom Rishon. So if Palm Sunday was actually Palm Sabbath, then there is 8 days and 8 means a new beginning.

    So now we change gears to the end. When we celebrate the Feast of the Lord (Feast of Tabernacles), we begin the Feast with a day of Rest on the first day (Yom Rishon) and we end it on the eighth day with a day of Rest after the Sabbath rest. The Feast of Tabernacles is celebrated for 7 days and creation was for 7 days.

    The 7^th day speaks of the end and the 8^th day is the day after the end. Eight is the number that transcends the creation, that breaks out of time… the number beyond numbers, of time beyond time, which means eternity.

   Shemini Atzeret. It means the Gathering (Resurrection) of the Eighth day. The Feast of Tabernacles (millennium, Messianic Kingdom) is the last of the holy days appointed by God, the final feast. So it speaks of the end, the end of days, the end of time.

    The eighth day is the very last day appointed by God. Those who belong to God belong to the Eighth Day. And when creation ends, they will enter it…the day beyond the days, when the finite yields to the infinite… and its limitations are no more…the age beyond ages….eternity.

    We can partake of the Eighth Day when we live in the Spirit now. We can go beyond the end…beyond the end of ourselves, but we have to find it, we have to seek it in  our lives, and we have to ask for it.

    Seek today to live beyond our circumstances, beyond the world, beyond the finite, in the day beyond days, in the Eight Day.

Beyond the World. In a dream many years ago, I was just outside of the Earth and I looked back to the earth and I saw this round blue globe. Disneyland had a ride where you could sit and the ride took you from your starting point on a rocket pad, all the way to the moon and then back to the Earth.

Lev. 23:39; Rom 6:11; 2 Cor 5:1-6; Rev 20:11. Rev 21, Rev 22.

    This world began with the Schchinah glory of God on day one where light separated from darkness and in the first millennium, Adam's sin separated him from Elohim's light. In the end, we who are with the Messiah are given a new body, possibly a body of light. The world began with light, and ends metaphorically as light. Hmmm! Very interesting thought. Only time will tell.
