Understanding the Prophecy Colossians 2:16 is often quoted to argue against keeping the Sabbath or biblical festivals—but is that what Paul was actually saying? This teaching carefully examines the full context of Colossians 2 and reveals a very different message. Rather than abolishing God’s appointed times, Paul is addressing a conflict between the traditions of…
Understanding the Prophecy This teaching explores the prophetic meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) and how it fits into the broader framework of God’s festival calendar. Building on the earlier conclusion that Trumpets announces judgment and the Day of Atonement represents the close of judgment, Sukkot follows, pointing to the restoration and dwelling of…
Understanding the Prophecy This teaching continues to explore how God’s festival calendar is cyclical, not limited to a single fulfillment per feast.

How to Assess Various Calendars to Establish Festival Dates The question of God’s calendar is not simply about dates—it is about authority. Scripture reveals that time is not determined by human systems, traditions, or institutions, but by God Himself through creation.
