Tevet<\/strong> has officially arrived kingdom family and we are entering into the gates of a new Biblical Month! As we enter into Tevet (Dec. 5th to Jan. 2nd)<\/em><\/strong>, get ready to enter the gate of destiny<\/em> for the nations of the world all in unison, but know that it all starts with each of us individually coming into agreement with the blueprint of Adonai. This is a month of judgment and authority, but what does that mean? Is the judgment of the Most High simply punishment and wrath, or is there more to it than that? Authority, but whose authority, and if we have been given authority, how do we wield it according to the Word? Also, as we enter this Biblical month, we celebrate the last days of Hanukkah, a feast that even Yeshua celebrated in Jerusalem.<\/em> Why should we care though? It turns out Hanukkah points straight to Yeshua and even to the Spirit-filled body of Messiah today. Let\u2019s dive into the characteristics of Tevet and find the mysteries of the month<\/strong> that give us a clear vision of what to expect, how to position ourselves, and how we are being called to stand victoriously in God\u2019s perfect plan to foil the plans and schemes of the fallen kingdom of darkness.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t

Tevet is a month of great contrasts in Scripture,<\/strong> but one central theme to these contrasts is the judgment of the Ancient of Days upon nations. On the one hand, during this month, Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem<\/em><\/strong> (2 Kings 25:1), and the same month that the exiles from Jerusalem brought word to Ezekiel of the city\u2019s destruction (Ezekiel 33:21). It is also a time of hope and promise,<\/strong> however, with Esther being made queen of Babylon<\/em><\/strong> during this month (Esther 2:16-17), as well as the re-dedication of the 2nd Temple after the defeat of the Greek\/Syrian army (Hanukkah), and when Noah first saw the top of the mountains as the waters began to recede from the great flood<\/strong> (Genesis 8:5). Is all judgment bad? No. Are all of Adonai\u2019s judgments righteous and just? Yes. The un-repentance of Israel after being given many chances by the Great I am led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, but the cries of Israel during the times of Esther and Mordechai were heard, and they were rescued from the unrighteous decree of Haman. Both were the judgment of the King of kings. Now is a time of judgment, shaking, and new beginnings<\/em><\/strong> when we must dig in and stand fast according to the promises of Elohim, but also receive the breakthrough of those promises He has been preparing for ourselves, our families, cities, and nations. Keep your eyes focused on YHWH,<\/strong> and even in the midst of turmoil and accusation, stick firmly to the path of Yeshua. The mountain tops are just over the horizon, and the promise of God is at hand!<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tevet<\/strong> is also a month of restoring divine order<\/strong> and bringing those who have broken the law to justice. Twice during the tenth month, prophet Ezekiel received the Word of Adonai in both Ezekiel 24 and 29 regarding Israel and Egypt. The Lord of Hosts reeled against Israel for the sacrifice of their children to Molech<\/em><\/strong> and decreed His wrath against Jerusalem for doing so. Instead of turning from their wicked ways, Israel turned further from YHWH and did these atrocious acts.<\/strong> Does this sound familiar to what we see today? In Ezekiel 29, once again Adonai speaks to Ezekiel, this time regarding the Pharaoh of Egypt and the principality behind the throne of Pharaoh who boasts of the Nile being made by his hands, and who betrayed Israel when they needed support the most. He declared the downfall and exile of Egypt for 40 years<\/strong> because of it at the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lastly, during the tenth month, after the exiles had returned to Jerusalem from Babylon, something crucial happened amongst the people. They began to search the Scripture again about what YHWH had commanded Israel to do through the Law of Moses,<\/em><\/strong> and found they had transgressed that law as many amongst them had married foreign women who served false gods. So what did they decide to do? Did they continue on as usual, or had the fear of Adonai taken hold after 70 years of exile? The latter would be correct, and on the first of Tevet, they began to investigate all who had broken the law<\/strong> and named them by name for all to hear. Israel knew the dangerous path they were going down and could see clearly the calamity that would befall them again if they continued to ignore the law, and they were bound and determined that would not happen. How determined are you that past mistakes and old habits will not lead you down the wrong path?<\/em> Forward and into our God-given destinies is our direction this month, like a race horse that does not look back,<\/strong> or see to the right or left, but straight ahead, focused on crossing the finish line in top form.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t
