      Well it is August on our calendar, but on God's people's calendar it is Av. We still have Elul to go through before Tishrei, so this is a good time to prepare for the Fall Feast.

      This is a long study so I will give it in pieces


      The Fall Feast

      Leviticus 23:23-44

      In the fall of the year Israel celebrates the civil New Year, it starts with the “New Moon”. It the month of Tishrei, the start of the civil year, the beginning of months is Nisan or Abib: Exodus 12:2. The month of Tishrei is a very busy month because it is full of feasts. It starts with a New Moon feast ( Rosh Chodesh), then the 10th day is the day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and on the 15th the feast of Tabernacles (Sukket) and the feast of Ingathering.
      This is also the time of the year that the prophecy sect of the Church gets very excited. Prophecy students know that Jesus full filled all the Spring Feast and that He will fulfill the Fall Feast in His second coming. All though it is not time to watch the eastern sky, because there are a few End Time prophecies that have not been full filled yet. It’s still an exciting time of the year, because Israel’s enemies usually attack her in the fall feast and we get to see some awesome work of God in these battles. Just don’t fall for the fake Armageddon that ushers in the Anti-christ.

      Now with that said, let’s study the “Fall Feasts”

      The month of Tishrei starts as all months start, with the New Moon feast. God put His people on a time tracking schedule (calendar) based on a lunar timetable. They watched the moon to know what time of the month it was. The month starts with the new moon. This new moon is the first sighting of the moon after the moonless night phase. People would watch the western sky, at nightfall, looking for a small sliver of the moon. When you saw it you would run to the Temple to announce you saw the New Moon. When two people came to the Temple to witness the sighting, they would go up to the High Priest and give their witness of the New Moon. After a few questions the High Priest would announce that the month begin and to blow the trumpet and light the signal fires. Then at the Temple they would have a big sit down eating fest. This is how Israel started each month twelve times a year.
      The start of Tishrei is a little different from the normal New Moon feasts. The blowing of the trumpets is more than a signal blast. The trumpets where blown up to 90 times signaling many different things, thus the name “the Feast of Trumpets”, but there is a first and last trumpet blast. Also, the other “Feasts of the LORD” you start counting the days from the new moon. The day the Feast of Trumpet starts is unknown, because you are watching for the new moon: this is a small technically, but you will see the significant to this in the foreshadows of the Last Days.
      . ***First let me tell you about the feasts and their history,
      later, I will tell you the foreshadows of the feast***.
      The Feast of Trumpets was established to celebrate the time when Moses talked to God for the people at Mt. Sinai Exodus 19&20.

      On the 10th of Tishrei is the “Day of Atonement” Leviticus 23: 27-32. This is the feast that makes atonement for sins. Some more details of what is to be done for this feast is found in Leviticus 16 & Numbers 29:7-11. This is the only time that a Priest can enter into the Holy of Holies, the most Holy place. This is where the Ark of the Covenant was. In Lev. 16, he would enter and sprinkle blood on the eastward side of the Mercy Seat: the right side is reserved for Jesus and it is His blood that was sprinkled on the right side of the Mercy seat during His crucifixion (remember the earthquake in Matt.). The “afflict your soul” in Num. 29:7 is a reference too fasting. You are to fast one day.

      On the 15th day of Tishrei there are two feasts during this time Lev. 23:34 & 39. The Feast of Tabernacles and the Feast of Ingathering. The Feast of Tabernacles was to remember the time spent in the wilderness for 40 years. They lived in tents, or booths, or tabernacles (Sukket) for 40 years. During the Feast of Tabernacle you build a booth, a tabernacle to live in for 7 days: basically you camp out. The tabernacle also was a remembrance of the Tabernacle that God had Moses to build so He could live with them Exodus 25:8. When God lives with man He lives in a tabernacle: that is why Jesus was born during the Feast of Tabernacle. Jesus’ body was a tabernacle. God was tabernacling with us. (I know you do not understand when Jesus was born, but the bible gives us that information, if you are willing to do a little digging). Exodus 23:16 & 34:22 The Feast of Ingathering and the Feast of First Fruits are wave offerings of the corps of the fields. The Feast of Ingathering is in the mist of the Feast of Tabernacle for an End Times prophecy foreshadow.

    ...........................THE BOOK

    What Happened At the Madison Church of Christ?


    There are thousands of churches being taken over across America.

    This book is only about one of those churches. It's about the Madison Church Of Christ. By studying the methods used here along with the resource references you might be able to inoculate your church. At the very least you will recognize the signs early on.

    Many of the current members of the Madison Church of Christ still don't know what happened.
    Some never will know! This book is for them as well.

    Madison Church of Christ was a 60 year old church. At one time it was one of the largest churches in the US, and the largest Church of Christ.

    It thrived for many years on the vision of it's elders and those of it's ministers. Those visions undoubtably came from the the inspired word of Jesus Christ.

    At sometime in the last 10 years there was a deliberate plan by a majority of the elders to take the Madison Church of Christ into a more worldly realm.

    They used secrecy, covert planning, and outside sources to scheme and to change the format and direction of the Madison Church of Christ.

    The Elders knew that the membership would never approve such a plan. Using the tools of the "Community Church Movement"(consultants, books, seminars, meetings,planters,seeders) they slowly started initiating change so it was never noticed by the members until it was too late.....

    At the heart of the plan was the fact that old members were going to be driven off so new techniques could be used to go out and reach the unchurched through new "Contemporary Holy Entertainment" methods developed by the "Community Church Movement"

    Old members had to be kept on board long enough to get their plans ready, or the funds would not be there to pay for the new building. So by the plans very nature, it had to be secret.

    The church had no plan in effect to renew or approve elders. There was never any need. The elders had always been "as approved by God". 10 of the last 15 elders would begin to shed some doubt on that.

    The Elders did not even need a majority at first, because some of the elders went along unwittingly.

    This edition starts shortly after some of the members begin to smell something strange in January 2001. Later editions may go back and fill in some of the timeline.

    To even start to understand whats happening here, you must read the background materials in the first of the book.

    This is only the first edition, and not the end. New editions will be printed as needed. To keep abreast of current changes, please visit our web site; http://www.concernedmembers.com/madison

    Here is the list of players;

    5 Godly Elders
    10 Not so Godly Elders
    120 "Deacons" (allegiance unknown)
    2,800 - 4,000 church "members"
    2 "teners" (people who have publicly confessed to have broken all ten commandments)
    Unknown number of "sinners" (This is what the 10 elders call us.)
    Unknown number of "demons" (Flying everywhere, to many to count)
