There are many scriptures such as Exodus 23, Exodus 34, Leviticus 23, Deuteronomy 16, Numbers 29, which describe the 3 annual festivals of the Law of Moses. These were the dual festival of the Passover and of cakes, the festival of weeks or Pentecost, and the festival of booths. But there are three scriptures which repeat the concept that the sons of Israel had to appear 3 times every year before Jehovah.
14 3 times in the year you are to celebrate a festival
to me.
15 You will keep the festival of unfermented cakes. You
will eat unfermented cakes 7 days, just as I have commanded you, at the
appointed time in the month of Abib, because in it you came out of Egypt. And
they must not appear before me empty-handed.
16 Also, the festival of harvest of the first ripe fruits
of your labors, of what you sow in the field; and the festival of ingathering at
the outgoing of the year, when you gather in your labors from the field.
17 On 3 occasions in the year every male of yours will
appear before the face of the [true] Lord, Jehovah (Exodus 23).
23 3 times in the year every male of yours is to appear
before the [true] Lord, Jehovah, [the] God of
Israel.
24 For I shall drive the nations away from before you, and
I will make your territory spacious; and nobody will desire your land while you
are going up to see the face of Jehovah your God 3 times in the year (Exodus
34).
16 3 times in the year every male of yours should appear before Jehovah your God in the place that he will choose: in the festival of the unfermented cakes and in the festival of weeks and in the festival of booths, and none should appear before Jehovah empty-handed (Deuteronomy 16).
We know from the Power Principle of the bible code that every verse of the bible has power. So we are not merely being told the same thing 3 times here! We suspect that all 3 accounts are parallel laws, although we have not done much work on parallel accounts in the law of Moses yet! If so then there are 3 greater fulfilments to the 3 great festivals of the law.
Now the greater meaning of the 3 festivals of the Jews are 3 festivals of the Christians, for Jesus' last miracle was that he Christianized the passover, turning it into the last supper by changing the two water cups of the Law and the CRC into the two spirit cups of the ARC and the 1NC. He changed the water covenant cups into the wine/spirit covenant cups.
So there are two other Christian festivals that we must find which are a greater Weeks/Pentecost and a greater Booths. Furthermore there are 3 different fulfilments of these 3 festivals in all 4 Christian churches. The Watchtower, did not fulfil them properly so we will find the fulfilments in FDS1, FDS2 and FDS4.
Jesus has shown us that the greater festival of the passover is the celebration of various covenants. So we apply the same methodology to the other two festivals which will be celebrations of various Christian covenants.
The Festival of Booths celebrated the final gathering of all fruits, it was the final harvest festival of the year...
13 The festival of booths you should celebrate for yourself 7 days when you make an [end of season] ingathering from your threshing floor and your oil and winepress (Deuteronomy 16).
Pentecost was the festival of the firstfruits wheat harvest...
22 And you will carry on your festival of weeks with the first ripe fruits of the wheat harvest, and the festival of ingathering at the turn of the year (Exodus 34).
Now Pentecost was effectively a daily Jubilee, being the day after 7 'weeks' or 7 sabbaths of days or 7 sabbaths after the first fruits of the barley harvest, which was Nisan16, when the first sickle was thrust into the standing grain (before Global warming). 50 days after Nisan16 is Sivan6. This day had the first fruits of the wheat harvest, also called the first ripe fruits (which is a bit unfair to barley). Now Paul says:
20 However, now Christ has been raised up from the
dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death].
21 For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is
also through a man.
22 For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all
will be made alive.
23 But each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits, afterward
those who belong to the Christ during his presence [the 1NC
kings].
24 Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and
Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and
power [the rapture during Armageddon]
(1 Corinthians 15).
14 For if our faith is that Jesus died and rose again,
so, too, the [judicially living]
ones [of us] who have fallen asleep [in death]
God, through Jesus, will bring [to be] with him.
15 For this is what we tell you by [the] Lord’s word,
that we, the [ones] [judicially]
living [those who have an indefinite future,
i.e. those baptised in spirit. People who have been declared righteous in the
flesh only have another 1,000 years for sure, and so are still 'dead']
the [ones] left around into the presence of the Lord
[the descent of the saints to pick up the
kids by rapture], shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep [in
death];
16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven [into
Hades] with a commanding call [to
the 1NC saints in the first death, he commands them since they are his wife], with an archangel's voice [to individually rapture the non dying
saints of the EHC, HHC and 2NC as they die. These are under the authority of the
archangel, being his possessions. As their human bodies die, they are raptured
so as not to see the first death which does not apply to them] and with God's trumpet [on earth at the
manifestation of the presence, Jesus comes through the flesh of his descended
wife, the 1NC saints, to sort the sheep from the goats, also at the end of
the first presence of Christ, since two angels said: men of Galilee, why do you
stand looking into the sky, the sheep are then raptured from Zoar], and those who are dead in union with Christ [the
1NC saints] will rise first.
17 Thereupon we the living who are left around together
with/at the same time as/ them [the
non dying saints], will be caught away in clouds [groups
of saints in various raptured groups, perhaps daily or weekly or something,
together with the 1NC saints are led up into heaven at the final rapture at the
end of the manifestation]
into a meeting of the Lord [Jesus
himself in person] into
[the] air [the real oxygen, the real
life giving atmosphere, which is heavenly oxygen, which is God's love];
and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord
18 Consequently keep comforting one another with
these words (1
Thessalonians 4).
So the barley harvest is Jesus, the firstfruits and the 1NC saints are the first ripe fruits of Pentecost. For the first 1NC saints were sealed at Pentecost 33CE on 33Sivan6, and Jesus gave his angelic body to God on 33Nisan16.
Likewise there is a 2NC firstfruits, we think on Chislev7 (when Elijah4 was sealed) and a 2NC first ripe fruits at Pentcost 50 days later on Tebbeth27, when the last 2NC kings were sealed presumably. We first realised that there was a second Pentecost on 2009Chislev7, which we later (2009Adar5) realised was the day that 50 count started...
10 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you
must say to them, 'When you eventually come into the land that I am giving you,
and you have reaped its harvest, you must also bring a sheaf of the firstfruits
of your harvest to the priest.
11 And he must wave the sheaf to and fro
before Jehovah to gain approval for you. Directly the day after the sabbath the
priest should wave it to and fro (Leviticus 23).
9 7 weeks you should count for yourself. From when the sickle is first put to the standing grain you will start to count 7 weeks (Deuteronomy 16).
Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16 are parallel accounts of the festivals under law. Leviticus 23 is complete, whereas Deuteronomy 16 only has the 3 main festivals which it was binding upon the Jews to attend at Jerusalem. These were Cakes (including the Passover day), Weeks (Pentecost) and Booths including the solemn assembly festival.
16 3 times in the year every male of yours should appear before Jehovah your God in the place that he will choose: in the festival of the unfermented cakes and in the festival of weeks and in the festival of booths, and none should appear before Jehovah empty-handed (Deuteronomy 16).
The greater meaning of Leviticus23 applies to the 1NC churches and the greater meaning of Deuteronomy 16 applies to the 2NC church, since it is the second law (that being the meaning of Deuteronomy).
So we know from Leviticus 23 that there is a greater festival of weeks calculated by a 50-count from day after the first sabbath of the year, the sabbath of cakes, Nisan15, in the case of the 1NC. So the count for the 1NC church runs from Nisan16 to Sivan6 as it did under law. But in the case of the 2NC all we know from Deuteronomy16 is that there is a 50 count which starts when the sickle of sealing is first put to the 2NC saints, the standing grain. This would be the day that the mediator of the 2NC was sealed or died.
We had in the past postulated a calendar change for annual festivals to a Tishri1 year start, so that all festivals are shifted by 6 months. But really one cannot celebrate the Passover or cakes on the wrong day of the year so we have now rejected that idea. In any event the Jews and the LWs are still running both the Nisan1 and the Tishri1 year start calendars.
So now we are merely seeking the start day of the 50 count for the 2NC. for this please see U271.
Now the 2NC church should celebrate the 2NC Pentecost but not the 1NC Pentecost as well since we are nowhere told expected to appear before Jehovah 4x in a year. But if we do not celebrate the main festival of Sivan6 at the end of the count then neither should we celebrate the festival of firstfuits on Nisan16 at the start of the 50 count. Neither in fact does Deuteronomy tell us to celebrate the 2NC firstfruits. It just tells us to celebrate the 2NC Pentecost. So the festivals of the 1NC church are as follows...
Passover (Nisan14 or Iyyar14)
Firstfruits (Nisan16)
Pentecost (Sivan6)
Trumpets (Tishri1)
Atonement (Tishri10)
Booths (Tishri15-21)
6/7 festivals in the year. Cakes is omitted because they have no 7 day greater escape from any greater Egypt. The sacred/solemn assembly occurs at the end of the harvest in the second church of a presence not in the first church of a presence so they do not celebrate that festival either. Whereas the festivals of the 2NC church are as follows...
Passover (Nisan14 or Iyyar14)
Firstfuits (Nisan16)
Late Double Cakes (Iyyar15-28, starting the the greater festival of Hezekiah in
2010)
Trumpets (Tishri1)
Atonement (Tishri10)
Booths (Tishri15-21)
Solemn Assembly (Tishri22)
Pentecost (Tebbeth27)
Hanukkah (Starting 2009Adar25-29)
8 festivals in the year 2009, with the 7th one 2NC Pentecost. And 9 festivals from 2010 onwards.
The 5 day LW Hanukkah (19 previous festival days +5=24 total festival days) celebrates the small amount of 1NC oil that entered into the LWs on 2005Nisan30, with the baptism of the first 1NC reserve saint into the LWs, which restarted the second presence. And how that lasted us for 5 years until 2010Nisan, when the water is turned into wine and many more 1NC reserve saints turn up.
So the 3 main festivals for the 1NC church were Cakes (plus the passover), Weeks (Sivan6 Pentecost) and Booths (plus solemn assembly)
And the 3 main festivals for the 2NC church are the Passover, Booths (plus solemn assembly) and Weeks (Tebbeth21 Pentecost). Therefore the go back 7x to 7 festivals command from Elijah refers to 2006Booths, 2007Passover, 2007Booths, 2008Passover, (2008Booths was not celebrated), 2009Passover, 2009Booths and 2009Weeks (2009Tebbeth27 Pentecost - not celebrated but Elijah did ask the church to celebrate it on the wrong day - Chislev11).
1 Now while the day [month]
of the [festival of] Pentecost was
in progress they were all together at the same place,
2 and suddenly there occurred from heaven a noise just like that of a
rushing stiff breeze, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
3 And tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed
about, and one sat upon each one of them,
4 and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak with
different tongues, just as the spirit was granting them to make utterance.
5 As it was, there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, reverent men, from
every nation of those under heaven.
6 So, when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and were
bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Indeed, they were astonished and began to wonder and say: See here, all
these who are speaking are Galileans, are they not?
8 And yet how is it we are hearing, each one of us, his own language in
which we were born?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia,
and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the [district of] Asia,
10 and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya, which is
toward Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues about the
magnificent things of God.
12 Yes, they were all astonished and were in perplexity, saying one to
another: What does this thing purport to be?
13 However, different ones mocked at them and began to say: They are full
of sweet wine.
14 But Peter stood up with the 11 and raised his voice and made this
utterance to them: Men of Judea and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this
be known to you and give ear to my sayings.
15 These [people] are, in fact, not drunk, as you suppose, for it is the
3rd hour of the day.
16 On the contrary, this is what was said through the prophet Joel,
17 'And in the last days, God says, I shall pour out some of my spirit
upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and
your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams;
18 and even upon my men slaves and upon my women slaves I will pour out
some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
Tongues of fire and tongues speaking about the magnificent things of God are decoded understandings of Armageddon in the greater meaning or the descended 1NC angels themselves. The question was asked: What does this thing purport to be? The incorrect answer given was: They are full of sweet wine. This literally incorrect answer is therefore correct in the account symbolic meaning - see [Yes/No Questions]. So at the greater festival of Pentecost, we drink the sweet wine of some covenant. Not sure which. Perhaps it is a further glass of the ARC for the 1NCs and likewise for the 2NCs?? This would be because 1NC saints are first sealed on Sivan6 and 2NC saints are first sealed on Tebbeth27.
Certainly the first century Christians did celebrate what must have been a Christianized form of Pentecost...
1 Now while the day of the [festival of] Pentecost was in progress they were all together at the same place (Acts 2).
16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, in order that he
might not spend any time in the [district of] Asia; for he was
hastening to get to Jerusalem on the day of the [festival of] Pentecost if he possibly
could (Acts 20).
8 But I am remaining in Ephesus until the [festival of] Pentecost (1 Corinthians 16).
Remember that Paul was not under law. Yet he still celebrated Pentecost. So what was he celebrating?? It must have been a greater Pentecost, a Christianized Pentecost, a festival to do with a Christian covenant. Paul recognized that the Christianized Passover was still a festival.
7 Clear away the old leaven, that you may be a new
lump, according as you are free from ferment. For, indeed, Christ our passover has
been sacrificed.
8 Consequently let us keep the festival, not with
old leaven, neither with leaven of badness and wickedness, but with unfermented
cakes of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 5).
And he was used to celebrating 3 festivals a year not one. Furthermore he knew that the law had a shadow of the things to come. So it was a type for the greater Christian fulfilments...
16 Therefore let no man judge you in eating and
drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a
sabbath.
17 for those things are a shadow of the things to
come, but the reality belongs to the Christ (Colossians 2).
Literally Paul was saying do not let anyone condemn you for not complying with any feature of the law of Moses, since Jesus died to end that law. But Paul was also literally saying that the law was a type in the case of eating, drinking, festivals, new moons and sabbaths. The LWs now understand this. We celebrate a greater sabbath system, with both daily and monthly sabbaths. We have the Biblical Lunar Calendar which governs our entire chronology through new moons. We eat and drink at our festivals, and now we have the 3 greater annual festivals. 3 Christians covenants to celebrate.
Zechariah 14, show us that there is a greater festival of Booths to be celebrated. Many churches understand this chapter to have a fulfilment in the last days. None other than the LWs understand what the greater festival of booths is (if we understand it correctly that is!).
1 Look! There is a day coming, belonging to
Jehovah, and the spoil of you will certainly be apportioned out in the midst of you.
2 And I shall certainly gather all the nations against Jerusalem
for the war; and the city will actually be captured and the houses be pillaged, and the women themselves will be
raped. And half of the city must go forth into the exile; but as for the remaining
ones of the people, they will not be cut off from the city.
3 And Jehovah will certainly go forth and war against those
nations as in the day of his warring, in the day of fight.
4 And his feet will actually stand in that day upon the mountain of
the olive trees, which is in front of Jerusalem, on the east, and the mountain of the olive
trees must be split at its middle, from the sunrising and to the west. There will be a very great valley;
and half of the mountain will actually be moved to the north, and half of it to the
south (Zechariah 14)...
16 And it must occur [that], as regards everyone who is left
remaining out of all the nations that are coming against Jerusalem,
they must also go up from year to year to bow down to the King, Jehovah of
armies, and to celebrate the festival of the booths.
17 And it must occur that, as regards anyone that does not come
up out of the families of the earth to Jerusalem to bow down to the King, Jehovah of armies, even upon them no pouring rain will
occur.
18 And if the family of Egypt itself does not come up and does not
actually enter, upon them also there shall be none. The scourge will occur with which Jehovah scourges the nations that do not come up to
celebrate the festival of the booths.
19 This itself will prove to be the [punishment for the] sin of
Egypt and the sin of all the nations that do not come up to celebrate
the festival of the booths (Zechariah 14).
17 And Jacob pulled out for Succoth, and he proceeded to build himself a house and for his herd he made booths. That was why he called the name of the place Succoth (Genesis 33).
Jacob is Jesus, the house is the temple of the living stones, the booth is the congregation of the dead stones. Booths are just local congregations.
34
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On the 15th day of this 7th month is the
festival of booths for 7 days to Jehovah.
35 On the first day is a holy convention.
No sort of laborious work may you do.
36 7 days you should present an offering
made by fire to Jehovah. On the 8th day there should occur a holy convention for
you, and you must present an offering made by fire to Jehovah. It is a solemn
assembly. No sort of laborious work may you do.
37 'These are the seasonal festivals of
Jehovah that you should proclaim as holy conventions, for presenting an offering
made by fire to Jehovah: the burnt offering and the grain offering of the
sacrifice and the drink offerings according to the daily schedule,
38 besides the sabbaths of Jehovah and
besides your gifts and besides all your vow offerings and besides all your
voluntary offerings, which you should give to Jehovah.
39 However, on the 15th day of the 7th
month, when you have gathered the produce of the land, you should celebrate the
festival of Jehovah 7 days. On the first day is a complete rest and on the 8th
day is a complete rest.
40 And you must take for yourselves on the
first day the fruit of splendid trees [new
spiritual food from people in the congregation], the fronds of palm trees
and the boughs
of branchy trees [general Christian victories,
good uplifting news of spiritual battles you have won, good experiences, not
evangelical or new understanding but regular fights you won] and poplars of the torrent
valley [evangelism successes and techniques], and you must rejoice before
Jehovah your God 7 days.
41 And you must celebrate it as a festival
to Jehovah 7 days in the year. As a statute to time indefinite during your
generations, you should celebrate it in the 7th month.
42 It is in the booths you should dwell 7
days. All the natives in Israel should dwell in the booths,
43 in order that your generations may know
that it was in the booths that I made the sons of Israel to dwell when I was
bringing them out of the land of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God (Leviticus 23).
The fruit of splendid trees, the fronds of palm trees, the boughs of branch trees, and then poplars of the torrent valley. These trees represent Christian fruitages. Brothers must prepare talks about research, about general spiritual battles they have won or are still fighting and about evangelism. Women cannot talk about research but can relate their victories or their evangellical insights. They can encourage but not teach. The whole thing lasts for 8 days, and the first and last days are sabbaths, wherein one cannot sow or reap any food or do any laborious church work. Each congregation meets for the entire 8 days. So we party on the first and the last days, and we give talks from the 2nd to the 7th days.
13
The festival of booths you should celebrate for yourself 7 days when you make an
ingathering from your threshing floor [general
congregation] and your oil [priests,
i.e. brothers and sisters with authority in the church] and winepress
[saints].
14 And you must rejoice during your
festival, you and your son and your daughter and your man slave and your slave
girl and the Levite and the alien resident and the fatherless boy and the widow,
who are inside your gates.
15 7 days you will celebrate the festival
to Jehovah your God in the place that Jehovah will choose, because Jehovah your
God will bless you in all your produce and in every deed of your hand, and you
must become nothing but joyful.
16 3 times in the year every male of yours
should appear before Jehovah your God in the place that he will choose: in the
festival of the unfermented cakes and in the festival of weeks and in the
festival of booths, and none should appear before Jehovah empty-handed.
17 The gift of each one's hand should be
in proportion to the blessing of Jehovah your God that he has given you.
18 You should set judges and officers for yourself inside all your gates that Jehovah
your God is giving you by your tribes, and they must judge the people with
righteous judgment (Deuteronomy 16).
Everyone must give a speech to the whole congregation, or make a joint presentation, or do a drama or a musical item. Everyone must get on the platform and give something to the church.
There are 3 covenants that the LWs need to celebrate on a festival other than the passover. These are the 2NC, the 4EC and the CRC. Following the pattern of the Passover meal we would drink the CRC before the meal, the 4EC during the meal and the 2NC after the meal. The meal here does not represent the 1NC saints, Jesus' wife, but the 2NC saints, Gordon's wife. The appropriate food to have with a covenant of a water baptism is Fish! In fact Jesus only ever himself fed people with Bread and Fish. He did this at the two feedings of the 5,000 and at the feeding of the 4,000 and at the breakfast for the 7 disciples, 5 of whom were named in John 21. Furthermore in the word symbolic meaning of the feeding of the 4,000 Fish is literal. So the 4,000, those who in this presence have been eating from the website since it began, eating through the food of the 7 seals of the little scroll of Revelation 5, need to eat Fish. This they do at the 2NC celebration.
We used to think that the 2NC should be drunk on Tishri15. But there is nothing we have seen that prevents it being drunk on any of the 7 days of Booths.
There was no provision for a late booths under law since most people would be around for the harvest and if you were unclean by a dead human soul for 7 days starting on Tishri14 you could actually turn up on Tishri21.
16 And everyone who on the open field may touch someone slain with the sword or a corpse or a bone of a man or a burial place will be unclean seven days (Numbers 19).
So the law for the late passover...
10 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'Although any man of
you or of your generations should happen to be unclean by a soul or off on a
distant journey, he too must prepare the passover sacrifice to
Jehovah.
11 In the second month, on the 14th day between the two evenings, they should prepare it. Together with unfermented cakes and
bitter greens they should eat it (Numbers 9).
Did not apply to any late Booths. And today there is no place on earth that is 7 days away from anywhere else due to air travel. So there is no late Booths festival in the LWs. We have celebrated several mistakenly!!
Our latest understanding therefore is that the cups and loafs of the 2NC celebration can be drunk on any or all days of Booths, from TIshri15 to Tishri21.
The First Stage: The Greeting
The presiding priest must humble himself and must expend himself for the brothers and sisters. He must join in the process of welcoming everyone and taking their coats, showing them to their seats etc. He must do the equivalent of washing their feet. He must not delegate this to a minor deity in his presumptuousness. He must follow the example of Jesus. He must love the congregation.
We at one time thought John 21 was relevant to the 2NC celbration. We are now not sure.
4 However, just as it was getting to be morning, Jesus stood on the
beach, but the disciples did not, of course, discern that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus said to them: Young children, you do not have
anything to eat, do you? They answered: No! to him.
6 He said to them: Cast the net on the right side of the boat and
you will find [some]. Then they cast it, but they were no longer able to draw it in because of the multitude of the
fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus used to love said to
Peter: It is the Lord! Hence Simon Peter, upon hearing that it was the Lord, girded about himself his top garment, for he was naked, and
plunged into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were
not a long way from land, only about 200 cubits away,
dragging the net of fishes.
9 However, when they disembarked onto land they beheld lying there
a charcoal fire and fish lying upon it and bread.
10 Jesus said to them: Bring some of the fish you just now
caught.
11 Simon Peter, therefore, went on board and drew the net to land
full of big fishes, one hundred and fifty-three of them. But although there were so many the net did not burst.
12 Jesus said to them: Come, take your breakfast. Not one of the
disciples had the courage to inquire of him: Who are you? because they knew it was the Lord.
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish
likewise (John 21).
Here is the basic procedure In the case of each cup, each covenant...
The priest conducting the celebration gives thanks to the relevant parties who are God, the Angelic Master mediator, the Blessing mediator, System mediator and the Ransomer of the System mediator, and possibly the submediator (if any) and then blesses the particular loaf (or loaves if there are a lot of partakers) and breaks the loaf and hands the pieces directly only to the partakers of the particular covenant himself. The loaf is not passed from one to another. Then he blesses the wine and gives one partaker the cup of wine, and this partaker then passes it to the next partaker. And so on from one to another among themselves until they have all had some wine. No non partaking person touches this cup to defile it. The priest himself will follow the cup round, topping it up if necessary. Dear reader, can you see the physiological symbolism here? It is beautiful.
The blood is flowing around the body. First the priest defines the stationary parts of the body with the bread. Then the wine, the blood, the moving element of the body, is passed all around them. The cup can go round a second or a third time if necessary until all the wine is drunk. The bread is the body, human or angelic. The blood is the life, the spirit of the validation sacrifice.
The First Cup
Only baptized members of the Lords' Witnesses who either were also baptised into the JWs before 2001Tishri30 or are also 2NC saints, can take part in eating the first loaf and in drinking from the first cup.
The presiding priest gives thanks to God for making the CRC with Gabriel, who died validating that covenant in Methuselah. And he gives thanks to Noah, the Blessing Mediator of the 2BC. And he gives thanks to Isaac the the System Mediator of the ICC.
Then he says a blessing on the first loaf, breaks it and hands a piece to everyone who is in the 2BC, saying words to the effect of:
"Take eat, this is Methuselah's human body (who was Gabriel) given as a ransom for Noah in validation of the 2BC."
All sons of the 2BC eat. This is Methuselah's body, the validation sacrifice for the 2BC.
The presiding priest (for this part) then blesses the first cup, and passes the cup to the first brother/sister saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all of you for this is Methuselah's blood of the Second Blessing Covenant, the inferior covenant to the CRC which has been poured out for the many sons of Noah by covenant for the forgiveness of sins until the Kingdom and for citizenship of the Kingdom and a priesthood in the Kingdom and place at the evening meal of the lamb's marriage ."
The cup is then past clockwise around everyone baptized into the 2BC.
The Meal
All who are present, whether they are baptized as Lord’s Witnesses or not, can attend and eat the meal and take part in this item. The fish is placed in a bowl or large dish.
Everyone starts by eating the fish (and the unblessed unleavened bread an wine). This represents the food of the true church. It is Hidden food from the sea - mankind in general - rather than the land - the LW administration - but very nutritious. Evidently non LWs will contribute a lot to our food!!
The meal continues…
The Second Cup
Every water baptized LW takes this third cup since it is the cup of the ICC, the covenant of the true churches.
The presiding priest gives thanks to John the baptist for ransoming Isaac and validating the ICC and to Isaac for System mediating the ICC.
Then he says a blessing on the third loaf, breaks it and hands a piece to every water baptised LW, saying words to the effect of:
"Take eat, this is John's human body given as a ransom for Isaac in validation of the ICC, so that all those with true faith can have a second chance in the Kingdom of God as priests."
All those who wish eat.
The presiding priest (for this part) then blesses the 2nd cup, and passes the cup to the first water baptised brother/sister saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. Drink out of it all of you water baptised LWs for this is John's blood of the Isaaic Church Covenant which has been poured out for those in the true churches for the forgiveness of past sins."
The cup is then past around clockwise to every water baptised LW, and they all drink. The cup is not touched or passed to anyone who is not a water baptised LW.
The meal is finished.
The Third Cup
Only Baptized members of the Lords' Witnesses who are also 2NC Saints [2NC(k) or 2NC(a), Kings and Administrators/Lords] can take part in eating the 3rd loaf and drinking from the 3rd cup.
The presiding priest for this part (who must be a 2nd New Covenant King and male) gives thanks to John for validating the JAC and to Jacob for mediating the JAC, and to Gordon for mediating the 2NC. He blesses the 3rd loaf, and breaks it and hands a piece only to those who have been baptized in holy spirit into the second new covenant, saying words to the effect of:
"This is John the baptist's associated angelic body which has been given on your behalf as a ransom for Jacob (who was born without an angelic body, but was given John's associated angelic body by ransom, this being the validation of the JAC)."
The 2nd New Covenant Saints all eat.
The presiding priest blesses the 3rd cup, and passes the cup to the 2nd New Covenant Saints saying words to the effect of:
"Take this and pass it from one to another among yourselves. This cup is John's blood (representing his life, his spirit) of the JAC, the Jacobian Angelic Covenant, which the first new covenant is a sub covenant of. The JAC was validated by the death of John’s associated angel but exists by virtue of Jesus' blood of the 3BC (representing Michael's spirit). Both Jesus’ and John’s blood have been poured out on your behalf."
The 2nd New Covenant Saints then pass the cup from one to another amongst themselves anti-clockwise and drink from it. Nobody touches this cup or is passed this cup other than the 2nd New Covenant Saints. They should form a visible but closed group by themselves for this.
Making the covenant
The presiding priest should make the 2NC with all baptised LWs with whom it has not yet been made (assuming it has been made with him). " I make the 2NC with you in precisely the same terms that my father made it with me". The immediate father in baptism should make it with the son. And exception to this is when a grandfather makes it with both a father and a son at the same celebration.
The Conclusion
Sing Praises.
We will arrange a low or zero alcoholic wine and rye bread option. The 'healthy sacraments'. Grape juice is not fermented so non alcoholic wine or very low alcohol wine would be better presumably. Everyone must partake in groups of at least two, so if only one person needs to choose the healthy option then another person must join him and basically partake twice once of the normal sacraments and once of the healthy sacraments.
We at first thought that Pentecost was a festival for the rapture only saints. These ones all get temporary angelic bodies in order that they can celebrate the evening meal of the lamb's marriage, which is eaten in heaven. They are the beneficiaries of the Angelic Tuxedo Covenant (ATC) of Dinah, or the firstborn or secondborn rapture covenants of Lot's daughters (the 1BRC and the 2BRC).
So celebrating the 2NC is the greater festival of Booths, the final ingathering. And celebrating the temporary angelic covenants or possibly the EHC and the HHC is the greater festival of weeks, Pentecost. The spirit was poured out on all sorts of flesh, on 33Sivan6, fulfilling Joel 2, and in the greater festival we are celebrating in advance the day when the spirit will be poured out everyone who died in every true religion so that they can attend the marriage of the lamb in their angelic tuxedos. These tuxes are the angelic bodies created by God for each spirit when it enters into the fetus. At that time the person does not have ownership of said angelic body. But the body is for him in due course. It is a made to measure suit which he has yet to try on. It is a house built for him for which he is yet to get the key (being born again) or the title deeds (gaining everlasting life).
We are celebrating the Angelic Tuxedo covenant of Dinah here. This covenant resurrects all those in any true religion so that they, as friends of the groom, can enjoy the evening meal of the lamb's marriage.
[[We can not yet celebrate the firstborn rapture covenant for the water baptised and the secondborn rapture covenant for the sons of the 1AC and the FRC who are raptured, since these covenants are yet to be made - we think. In our present understanding the 2NC kings give up their angelic body for the duration of the kingdom of God in order that the firstborn of the 12 water baptised tribes of TCC4, can be raptured. This being the greater ransom of Numbers 3 wherein all the 22,000 registered ones of the tribe of Levi ransomed the 22,273 firstborn from the other 12 tribes. Then the domestic animals of the Levites ransomed the firstborn domestic animals of the other 12 tribes which must be the second born rapture covenant. This presumably is the 2NC Lords ransoming the sons of the FRC at Armageddon, enabling them to be raptured, by giving up their angels for some or all of the 1,000 year kingdom of God.]]
This festival should be celebrated from the 3rd hour of the day on Pentecost, Sivan6. The meal is presumably a bird of the air, such as a dove, or perhaps chicken, since we eat lamb (from the land) and fish (from the sea) at the other two festivals. The bird represents the temporary angelic bodies of those resurrected by the ATC
Remember we are commanded to be joyful at these 3 festivals.
Fireworks might not go amiss during the ATC celebration reaching into the heavens and illuminating them.
