Pardon Mwanza,
I value your words, as quoted below, most especially the last ten of them, albeit within the context of all:
"As people read the word of God new discoveries of the things they are supposed to engage in for God’s glory will be revealed to them. It was thus that these “Word-Seeking” people rediscovered the importance of the feasts of the seventh month."
What a blessing it would be if we too, even we as are here today, were to listen and to heed those very words of yours! Cf. Deuteronomy 5:2-5! If and when we do, I have no doubt but that the showers of blessing, that latter rain, for which our people have been praying so long, shall come upon us in abundance...
I am convinced that one of the foremost blessings inherent in keeping the one true Seventh-day Sabbath, is each our recognition of the reality of the timeline provided for us in the Holy Scriptures. Most especially, that realization has most certainly helped our people to accept and to value the reality inherent of the events of those very first seven days recorded for us in Genesis Chapter One.
What a blessing that is! Praise the Lord of Hosts!
But why should we stop at that? Is not God, the Ancient of Days, the God of Daniel, here to teach us ever so much more re the exact dates provided to us throughout the Holy Scriptures? Consider Isaiah 28:9-14! But how can He do that so long as we are unwilling to listen and to heed His instructions in full? How can we learn and experience the wealth of blessings inherent in true Sabbath keeping if we do not make Sabbath keeping a part of each our life? We cannot. Can we? So also re "the importance of the feasts of the seventh month." What blessings are we as a Seventh-day Sabbath keeping people yet to experience, if and when we begin to realize that those words apply likewise to us, me and you, even here and now, and as per the words of Moses recorded for us in Deuteronomy 5:2-5?!!!
Allow me to quote, please, the last verse from today's reading, from Nehemiah 8:18..
"18 Also day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day there was a sacred assembly, according to the prescribed manner."
Did you notice, in that verse, that that "sacred assembly" of the Eighth Day is a thing outside of, that is, yet another portion of time that is being cut off by the Maker of Time? Yet another feast event for the people of God to commemorate and to heed. That is, a marker of time beyond the seven days defining the Feast of Tabernacles?
May I have the privilege of sharing with you a foretaste of some of the unexpected discoveries that I have felt blessed by discovering under the tutorship of my Maker, and under Him whom our Savior promised to send His people as recorded for us in John 15:26...
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"
