Isaiah 14:13 

And-you(Babylon)  you-said(Babylon said)  in-heart-of-you(Babylon) the-heavens  I-shall-ascend  from-above  to-stars-of  El  I-shall-exalt  throne-of-me  in-mountain-of  Moed  in-resesses-of  north.

וְאַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ בִלְבָבְךָ הַשָּׁמַיִם אֶעֱלֶה מִמַּעַל לְכֹוכְבֵי־אֵל אָרִים כִּסְאִי וְאֵשֵׁב בְּהַר־מֹועֵד

🔖 We must not forget that the same spirit of Babylon, which opposes the holy Moedim of the LORD, was behind the forces that invaded Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973 and the terror attacks during Sukkot in 2023. 

Preserving Biblical Integrity: 

Translations of the Bible can either align with the spirit of Babylon or stand with God against it. The spirit of Babylon seeks to separate God's holy Moed from His people. By maintaining the original languages of the Hebrew and Koine Greek Scriptures, we fight this spirit and preserve the sanctity of God's holy Moed. 

Testing Your Spirituality: Identifying the Influence of Babylonian Spirit

1. Compare Two Translations: Read the same biblical verse in two different translations at the bottom.

2. Self-Reflection: Honestly question yourself about your understanding and feelings toward the translations.

3. Recognize what the Hebrew Scriptures say about "Moed" (Its meaning is more than appointed times). While the Koine New Testament uses "Kairos" for Moed, there is no "one word English term" that perfectly translates "Moed." 

4. Evaluation: Determine if you think translating one way or another is insignificant.

By following these steps, you can discern whether your spirituality is influenced by the Babylonian spirit or aligned with biblical teachings.

📖 Genesis 1:14

Spirit of Babylon: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 

Holy Spirit: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for Moedim, and for days, and years: 

📖 Genesis 17:21

Spirit of Babylon: But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 

Holy Spirit: But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this Moed in the next year. 

📖 Exodus 13:10

Spirit of Babylon: You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year. 

Holy Spirit: You shall therefore keep this ordinance in Moed of her from year to year. 

📖 Exodus 27:21

Spirit of Babylon: In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel. 

Holy Spirit: In the tabernacle of Moed without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel. 

📖 Daniel 12:7

Spirit of Babylon: And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. 

Holy Spirit: And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a Moed, Moedim, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. 

Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) fulfilled four of the Moedim

The Appointed Feasts in the Torah (Feast is one of the Moed)

These feasts, significant in Jewish tradition, are not only commemorations of God's past interventions in history but also prophetic in nature, pointing to the work of the Messiah. The four Moedim that have been fulfilled and will be completed by Yeshua include: 

• Pesach (Passover): Yeshua's crucifixion coincides with Passover, symbolizing Him as the Lamb of God whose sacrifice takes away the sins of the world. There will be the completion of Passover in Heaven. 

• Matzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread): His burial aligns with the Feast of Unleavened Bread, representing sinlessness as leaven is a symbol of sin in the Bible. 

• Offering Omer Reshit (Offering First Sheaf): Yeshua's resurrection is celebrated on the Feast of Offering First Sheaf of harvest, signifying Him as the first harvest of those who have fallen asleep. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ took place on this day. 

• Shavuot (Feast of Weeks or Pentecost): The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples occurred during Pentecost, fulfilling the promise of the New Covenant and empowering the birth of the 1st century Ecclesia. 

These four fulfilled Moedim show how Yeshua is intricately woven into the fabric of God’s Moed. Through His life, death, resurrection, and the giving of the Holy Spirit, He fulfills the Law and the Prophets.

Therefore, Messiah Yeshua will also fulfill the remaining three Moedim: the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

That is why the spirit of Babylon devotes all its power to preventing people from seeing that Yeshua will indeed fulfill all of God’s Moedim.

From this same spiritual perspective, the spirit of Babylon is also the spiritual backdrop behind the terror attacks Hamas carried out against Israel during the Feast of Tabernacles in 2023.
