We have covered Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, First-Fruits, and Shavuot. Now, we will cover two more appointed times that most are unfamiliar with that are found in the Temple Scroll which are New Wine and New Oil. Praise ELOHEINU (Our ELOHIM): YAHWEH, YESHUA, and the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Set-Apart Spirit) for returning us back to the ancient paths of worship.
On Shavuot we begin counting 50 days to get arrive at New Wine which is on July 23rd on our Gregorian calendars but technically the 3rd Day of the 5th month; and then 50 days after New Wine will be New oil which falls on September 10th, which is the 22nd day of the 6th month. These are not High-Shabbats, so you do not have to take off from work, but they are appointed times that we are to still observe. We will discuss details of each of appointed time, what to do, prophecies concerning each one, and scriptures supporting these feasts in the 66 books.
New Wine
The Feast of New Wine is called “Chag Tirosh (Tee-Roshe)” in Hebrew and found written in the Temple Scroll which states:
Temple Scroll Column 19:11-16 and 21:3-10
“And you shall count for yourselves from the day you bring in the new meal-offering to YAHWEH, the bread of the first-fruits (Shavuot), SEVEN WEEKS. Seven complete weeks there shall be until the day AFTER THE SEVENTH SHABBAT; you shall count to the fiftieth day and you shall present FRESH WINE for a liquid offering of four hins from all the clans of Yisra’el, a third of a hin on behalf of each clan, and they shall present with the wine on this day a burnt offering to YAHWEH of twelve rams from every head of the thousands of Yisra’el.” Column 21:3-10 “And they shall DRINK FROM THE NEW WINE; the priests shall drink there first, and the Levites second, and after them all the sons of Yisra’el shall drink, the leaders of the divisions first…there. And after them, all the people from the greatest to the least shall begin to DRINK FRESH WINE AND TO EAT RIPE AND UNRIPE GRAPES from the vines for on this day they shall atone for the new wine. And the sons of Yisra’el SHALL REJOICE BEFORE YAHWEH, ETERNAL STATUTES for their generations in all their villages. AND THEY SHALL REJOICE ON THIS DAY, AT THE APPOINTED TIME, when they begin to pour our the liquid-offering, fresh potent wine, upon the altar of YAHWEH year by year.”
Exodus 32:18 (Septuagint)
“And Moses said, it is not the voice of those who begin the battle or the voice of those who begin the cry of defeat, but the voice of those who BEGIN THE BANQUET OF WINE I hear.”
As stated above “The Feast of New Wine’ in Hebrew is “Chag Tirosh” and the Septuagint records it as a “Banquet”! Synonyms for the word banquet are FEAST, festivity, or meal. So, it appears from the Septuagint reading that Moses was very familiar with the Feast of New Wine as the children of Yisra’el were REJOICING and having a good time, which is a command given for this day.
As we see in the Temple Scroll, YAHWEH says celebrate New Wine at its appointed time, which is the 3rd day of the 5th month and July 23rd on our Gregorian calendars, which is 50 Days after Shavuot. We are commanded to rejoice on this day just as we were commanded to rejoice on Shavuot (Deuteronomy 16:11) and we are to eat grapes and drink wine or grape juice; furthermore, YAHWEH says it’s an eternal statute which means forever.
Meaning of New Wine and prophetic importance
As with the rest of the Appointed Times that all point to YESHUA, so do The Feast of New Wine and the Feast of New Oil. And I see the same wine connection with the marriage supper of the Lamb as discussed in the Passover message!
Matthew 26:27-29 (Hebrew)
“And afterwards He TOOK THE CUP and did a prayer of thanksgiving, and gave it to them, and said, “DRINK THIS-all of you, for this is the blood of the new, which will be shed to atone for your iniquities. And I say to you faithfully that from now and onward, I WILL NOT DRINK OF THIS SMOOTHNESS OF THE VINE UNTIL THAT DAY THAT I WILL DRINK IT WITH YOU ANEW IN THE KINGDOM OF MY FATHER.”
Here YESHUA is using Wedding language that His disciples would have understood according to the ancient Galilean weddings: During the betrothal ceremony in Galilee the bridegroom would pour a cup of WINE called the “CUP OF JOY” and give it to the bride to drink. At this point she can either accept the covenant/proposal by drinking the wine or reject the covenant by not drinking the wine. After she drinks the cup of joy (the wine) then the bridegroom publicly says, “You are consecrated to me according to the Law of Moses and I WILL NOT DRINK THIS CUP UNTIL I DRINK IT NEW WITH YOU IN MY FATHERS HOUSE.”
Again, we see the marriage terminology that YESHUA used to describe Him marrying Yisra’el and wine was used, just as we see YESHUA turn water to WINE during the WEDDING/MARRIAGE on The Feast of NEW WINE in Galilee recorded in John 2. So, as we see the drinking of the wine is an ancient Galilean custom as YESHUA turns the water into wine in GALILEE. The connection is MARRIAGE AND WINE as we saw YESHUA mention on Passover. As stated earlier from the Temple Scroll is that New Wine is celebrated on the THIRD DAY of the 5th month:
John 2:1-10 (Hebrew)
“Now on the THIRD DAY a MARRIAGE was held in Gelilah (Galilee), and Mary the mother of YESHUA was there. And YESHUA was called to the marriage with his talmidim (disciples). So when they were lacking WINE at the MARRIAGE, the mother of YESHUA said unto Him, “They do not have any wine. YESHUA answered her, “Woman, what is that to Me or to you? My time is not due yet.” The mother of YESHUA said to the attendants, “You must do everything He tells you!” (Now there were six water jars of stone there, being placed according to the custom of the cleansing of the Jews; and every one of the water jars holds two or three measures.) Then YESHUA said to them, “Fill all the water jars with water.” Therefore they filled them with as much water as they could hold. Then YESHUA said to them, “Take out from them, and bring it, and give some to drink to the leader of ceremonies.” So they brought it to her. And when the leader of ceremonies had tasted the water (they saw that He TURNED IT INTO WINE—she did not know where it came from—but the servants, those who brought the water to the leader of ceremonies knew it) she called the betrothed man and said to him, “Every man first sets down the good wine, and after they are satisfied, then the inferior remainder of wine; but you concealed the GOOD WINE until now!”
So, we see the double meaning of marriage and the Feast of New Wine being done on the same day. We are also commanded to rejoice on this day, the same way we rejoiced with the “cup of joy” being betrothed to YESHUA by entering into covenant with Him as we await His second coming to reign with Him. This appointed time of New Wine seems to be a REMINDER for us to not forget the Passover connection with the Marriage Supper of the Lamb as a prophetic event. The same way YAHWEH told us to REMEMBER that we were slaves in Egypt on Shavuot 50 days earlier!
Deuteronomy 16:12
“REMEMBER that you were a slave in Egypt; then you will keep and obey these laws.”
Also, new wine can represent overflowing with abundance during YESHUA’s reign and the New Jerusalem in eternity.
Numbers 13:17-24 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“Moses sent them to reconnoiter (survey) the land of Canaan, instructing them, “Go up to the Negev and into the hills, and see what the land is like. Notice the people living there, whether they are strong or weak, few or many; and what kind of country they live in, whether it is good or bad; and what kind of cities they live in, open or fortified. See whether the land is fertile or unproductive and whether there is wood in it or not. Finally, be bold enough to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” When they left it was the SEASON FOR THE FIRST GRAPES TO RIPEN. They went up and reconnoitered (surveyed) the land from the Tzin Desert to Rechov near the entrance to Hamat. They went up into the Negev and arrived at Hevron; Achiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the Anakim, lived there. (Hevron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) They came to the Eshkol Valley; and there they cut off a branch bearing ONE CLUSTER OF GRAPES, which they carried on a pole between two of them; they also took pomegranates AND FIGS. That place was called the Valley of Eshkol [cluster], because of the cluster which the people of Yisra’el cut down there.”
Micah 4:1-8 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“But in the acharit-hayamim (end of days) it will come about that the mountain of YAHWEH’s house will be established as the most important mountain. It will be regarded more highly than the other hills, and peoples will stream there. Many gentiles will go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of YAHWEH, to the house of the ELOHIM of Jacob! He will teach us about His ways, and we will walk in His paths.” For out of Zion will go forth Torah, and the word of YAHWEH from Jerusalem. He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for many nations far away. Then they will hammer their swords into plow-blades and their spears into pruning-knives; nations will not raise swords at each other, and they will no longer learn war. Instead, each person will SIT UNDER HIS VINE AND FIG TREE, with no one to upset him, for the mouth of YAHWEH-Tzva’ot has spoken. For all the peoples will walk, each in the name of its elohim; but we will walk in the Name of YAHWEH our ELOHIM forever and ever. When that day comes, “says YAHWEH, “I will assemble the lame and gather those who were dispersed, along with those I afflicted. I will make the lame a remnant and those who were driven off a strong nation. YAHWEH will RULE THEM ON MOUNT ZION FROM THAT TIME FORTH AND FOREVER.”
2 Baruch 29:5
“Also, the earth will yield its fruits TEN-THOUSANDFOLD. A SINGLE VINE will have a THOUSAND BRANCHES, AND A SINGLE BRANCH will produce A THOUSAND BUNCHES OF GRAPES, and a single bunch of grapes will produce a THOUSAND GRAPES, and a SINGLE GRAPE WILL PRODUCE A KOR OF WINE.”
One grape will produce a “kor” of wine and the scriptural usage is defined according to bible.knowing-jesus.com is “kor, a measure (usually dry) a dry or liquid measure equal to 10 ephahs or baths, a dry measure containing 6.25 bushels, a LIQUID MEASURE OF 58 GALLONS (263 L).” This sounds like abundant blessings to me!
The etymology for the word “Vine” is “Gephen” H1612 and Strong’s defines it as “From an unused root meaning to bend; a vine (as twining), ESPECIALLY THE GRAPE:-vine, tree.” Brown-Drivers-Briggs says in 1c “of prosperity”.
The same way the Israelites went to spy out the land of Canaan and saw the goodness, prosperity and grapes in abundance and brought back grapes and figs, is the same promise of abundance/prosperity and blessing we will have when YESHUA returns as each man will sit under his own VINE and FIG TREE. Also, as YESHUA changed the water to wine and it ended up being the best, is how those who are married to YESHUA and endure to the end will receive the best in the 1,000 reign and eternity.
1 Corinthians 2:9 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“But, as the Tanakh says, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard and no one’s heart has imagined all the things that ELOHIM has prepared for those who love Him.”
However; those who refuse to enter into the marriage covenant with YESHUA, by returning to the ancient path, keeping the commandments of the Torah and trusting in YESHUA will find themselves on the opposite end the wine/grape blessings because they chose to continue in spiritual fornication with Babylon.
Revelation 14:9-10 (Hebrew)
“And after this, the third messenger came and said with a great voice, “If one does his prayer to the carved image and to the animal, and take the sign on his hand or on his forehead this one will DRINK OF THE WINE OF FURY OF YAHWEH, which is the cup of fury, and He will be punished with fire and brimstone before His set-apart messengers and the Lamb.”
Revelation 14:17-18 (Hebrew)
“And another messenger came to the heavens, and in his hand was a sickle. Then another messenger went out from the altar (and he had control over the fire), and he cried out with a loud voice to him who had the sickle and said, ‘Thrust with your sickle and HARVEST THE GRAPES OF THE EARTH, for its fruits are ripe.” So the messenger thrust with His sickle and HARVESTED THE GRAPES OF THE EARTH, and cast them into the great WINEPRESS of the fury of YAHWEH. And the WINEPRESS was outside the city, and the BLOOD OF THE WINEPRESS went up to the bridle of the horses, a way of one thousand six hundred stretches of field.”
Isaiah 63:1-6 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“Who is this, coming from Edom, from Bozrah with clothing stained crimson, so magnificently dressed, so stately In His strength? “It is I, Who speak victoriously, I, well able to save.” Why is your apparel red, your clothes like someone TREADING A WINEPRESS? “I have trodden THE WINEPRESS alone; from the peoples not one was with me. So I TROD them in My anger, trampled them in My fury; so their LIFEBLOOD spurted out on My clothing, and I have STAINED MY GARMENTS; for the day of vengeance that was in My heart and My year of redemption have come. I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was appalled that no one upheld Me. Therefore My own arm brought Me salvation, and My own fury upheld Me. In My anger I trod down the peoples made them DRINK WITH MY FURY, then poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
Isaiah 63:1-3-4 (Septuagint)
“Who is this that has come from Edom, with red garments from Batzerah? So beautiful in His apparel with mighty strength? I reason about righteousness and saving judgment. Why are your garments red and your garments as if fresh from a trodden winepress? I AM FULL OF TRODDEN GRAPES and from the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury and dashed them to pieces as earth; and brought down their blood to the earth.” For the day of recompense has come on them and the year of redemption is at hand.”
Prophetically concerning New Wine is marriage and abundant blessings for the those in covenant with ELOHIM and wrath for those who are not in covenant with Him!
New Oil
The Feast of New Oil is called “Chag Yitzhar” in Hebrew and is found written in the Temple Scroll which states:
Temple Scroll Column 21:12-16 and Column 22:14-16
“And you shall count for yourselves from this day (New Wine) SEVEN WEEKS, SEVEN TIMES, FORTY-NINE DAYS; SEVEN COMPLETE WEEKS there shall be until the DAY AFTER THE SHABBAT, the Seventh One. You shall count to the FIFIETH DAY, and then you shall present new oil from the dwellings of the clans of the sons of Yisra’el, half a hin, one from each clan, NEW OIL PRESSED (Olive oil). And they shall present the first of the fresh oil upon the altar of the burnt offering, first-fruit offerings before YAHWEH. Column 22:14-16 “Afterwards, THEY SHALL EAT FROM THE OLIVES AND ANOINT THEMSELVES WITH THE NEW OIL, for upon this day they shall atone for all the fresh oil of the land before YAHWEH, once in a year. THEN THEY SHALL REJOICE, ALL THE SONS OF YISRA’EL, in all their dwellings before YAHWEH, an ETERNAL STATUTE.”
The Temple Scroll says to celebrate New Oil, which is the 22nd day of the 6th month or September 10th on our Gregorian calendars, which is 50 Days after New Wine. We are commanded to rejoice on this day just as we were commanded to rejoice on Shavuot and New Wine (Deuteronomy 16:11) and we are to eat olives, olive oil, and anoint ourselves with olive oil. YAHWEH also says that this is an eternal statute. This is not a High-Shabbat; however, it’s still important that we observe it.
The meaning of New Oil:
Leviticus 24:1-4 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“YAHWEH said to Moses, “Order the people of Yisra’el to bring you pure oil from CRUSHED OLIVES FOR THE LIGHT, TO KEEP THE LAMPS burning always. Outside the curtain of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to arrange for the light to be kept burning always from evening until morning before YAHWEH; this is to be a permanent regulation through all your generations. He is always to keep in order the LAMPS ON THE PURE MENORAH BEFORE YAHWEH.”
Temple Scroll Column 21:15 (Penguin Classics)
“You shall then offer NEW OIL from the homes of the tribes of the children of Yisra’el, a half a hin from a tribe, NEW BEATEN OIL…oil on the altar of the holocaust (burnt offering), first-fruits before YAHWEH.” Column 22 “….shall expiate with it for all the congregation before YAHWEH…with this oil, half a hin…[according to the statute, a holocaust an offering by fire, of soothing [odor to YAHWEH…WITH THIS OIL THEY SHALL LIGHT THE LAMPS…”
Olives were used to light the menorah/lamp to burn continually and YESHUA is the lamp that shines forever!
Revelation 21:23
“The city has no need for the sun or the moon to shine on it, because ELOHIM’s esteem gives it LIGHT and its LAMP IS THE LAMB.”
Isaiah 60:19
“No more will the sun be your light by day, nor will moonlight shine on you; instead YAHWEH will be your LIGHT FOREVER and your ELOHIM your esteem. No longer will your sun go down; your moon will no longer wane; for YAHWEH will be YOUR LIGHT FOREVER; your days of morning will end.”
A reminder that YESHUA is the Light of the world:
John 8:12 (Hebrew)
“And YESHUA said, “I AM THE LAMP OF THE WORLD; whosoever comes after Me will not walk in darkness and gloom; but He will indeed have life.”
James 1:17-18 (Hebrew)
“Every good gift comes from above, from the LIGHT OF THE FATHER, and with Him there is no change, nor alteration of LIGHT and darkness. And He has shown to us according to His will, by the word of truth, so that we can be FIRST-FRUITS of His creation.”
As we saw from the Temple Scroll is that the first-fruits of fresh-pressed olive oil were used to light the lamps, just as we are to be the first-fruits of new oil to be a LIGHT amongst the world by teaching them through the leading of the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Set-Apart Spirit).
Matthew 5:13-16 (Hebrew)
“And it happened furthermore, that YESHUA MASHIACH said unto His talmidim (disciples), “YOU ARE THE INSTRUCTION OF THE WORLD (Matthew 28:19), but the instruction is cut off by them who are not saved, and nothing else is fit, except to cast them to the street and trample them. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD is not able to hide the city that rests on the mountain. No man lights the LAMP in order to set it under a covering, but to set it upon the MENORAH, in order to give LIGHT to all those who are in the house. So LET YOUR LAMP SHINE BEFORE ALL, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father who is in the heavens.”
Covenant of Damascus (Community Rule Part 1) pg. 66
#7 Fruit of the Spirit-Spirit of Truth
“The WAY OF LIGHT IN THIS WORLD is to enlighten of the minds of ALL MEN by making STRAIGHT THE PATH of true righteousness and TEACHING THEIR HEART TO REVERENCE ALL THE COMMANDS OF ELOHIM!”
YESHUA is The Light of the World and taught the truth of Torah, just as we are to follow in His footsteps by being a light to the world and teaching the commands of the Torah and telling them to trust in the Living Torah (YESHUA)!
1 John 2:6 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“A person who claims to be continuing in union with Him ought to conduct his life the way He did.”
Again, we accomplish this by the leading of the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Set-Apart Spirit) Who is a representation of the oil that goes inside the lamp.
Matthew 25:1-13 (Hebrew)
“And then the heavenly kingdom will be like ten virgins who took their LAMPS and went to the path to the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five of them were wise. And the five foolish ones did take their lamps. And while the bridegroom delayed to come, all ten virgins slept for long—until the middle of the night. A man shouted, ‘Get up! Behold the bridegroom is coming, go out to him to the path! Then all the virgins got up and lit all their lamps. And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, ‘Give us of YOUR OIL, for our lamps have gone out.’ But the wise ones answered and said, ‘Perhaps it will not be sufficient for us, go to the sellers and buy for yourselves.’ But as they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And those who were ready, entered with him into the wedding and the door was shut behind them. And afterwards came the foolish virgins, and cried, ‘Master, master, open for us!” But he answered and said, ‘Truth-I do not know who you are.’ Therefore you must be awake, for you do not know the day and the hour.”
All ten virgins had lamps, so what does the lamp represent?
Proverbs 6:23
“For the MITZVAH (COMMAND) is a LAMP, TORAH IS LIGHT…”
Why were they wise virgins?
Deuteronomy 4:4-6 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“But you who STUCK with YAHWEH your ELOHIM are still alive today, every one of you. Look, I have taught you laws and rulings, just as YAHWEH your ELOHIM ordered me, so that you can behave accordingly in the land where you are going in order to take possession of it. Therefore, observe them; and follow them; for then all peoples will see you as having WISDOM and understanding. When they hear of all these laws, they will say, ‘This great nation is surely a WISE and understanding people.”
Oil goes inside the lamp to bring forth LIGHT so we can see and walk on the path:
Psalms 119:105 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“Your WORD IS A LAMP for my foot and LIGHT ON MY PATH.”
The same way that oil goes INSIDE THE LAMP to bring forth the light, is the same way the RUACH HA’KODESH DWELLS INSIDE OF US to bring forth the light of the Torah so we can see clearly to WALK ON THE ANICENT PATH.
Jeremiah 6:16 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ANCIENT PATHS, ‘Which one is the good way?’ TAKE IT, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, “We will not take it.”
This happens when we surrender to Him (The Set-Apart Spirit) and let Him lead us:
John 16:13 (Hebrew)
“But when that RUACH (SPIRIT) OF TRUTH will come, He will teach you ALL TRUTH.”
The RUACH HA’KODESH (The Set-Apart Spirit) will lead us into all truth! And what is the truth?
Psalms 119:142
“Your righteousness is eternal righteousness, and Your TORAH IS TRUTH.”
So the wise virgins kept the commandments of the Torah as they stuck with YAHWEH as Moses mentioned in Deuteronomy 4:6! The wise virgins were filled with the RUACH HA’KODESH who leads us into all truth, which is the Torah. The foolish virgins had lamps (the commandments) giving them the appearance from the outside that they were keeping the commandments like Pharisees, but rather walked in their own traditions of the oral torah; and anyone who chooses to go their own way opposite of the written Torah, which YESHUA rebuked:
Matthew 15:8-10 (Hebrew)
“This people which honors Me with WORDS but their heart is far from Me, they honor Me in vain, IMPOSING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND COMMANDMENTS OF THE MEN.”
Just because you are holding the lamp (the outer appearance) doesn’t mean your heart is circumcised (inwardly) to walk in the complete truth and bearing the fruits of the Spirit:
Matthew 23:25
“Woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and Pharisees! You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but the INSIDE they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the INSIDE of the cup, so that the outside may be clean too.”
So, with no oil aka the RUACH HA’KODESH, they did not bear the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), nor walked in the truth of the Torah, so they were found to be empty vessels and not ready; and therefore left outside the kingdom. They were tares who grew up with the wheat and got exposed at the time of the end.
Matthew 13:28-30 (Hebrew)
“And he said to them, ‘The enemy-man did this thing.’ So the servants said, ‘Do you want that we should go and gather it?” But he said: ‘No, that you do not root up the wheat with the thistles. Leave everything until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers. ‘First gather the thistles, and bind them in burdens and burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary.”
Romans 8:14-17 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“All who are led by ELOHIM’s SPIRIT are ELOHIM’S SONS. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to bring you back again into fear; on the contrary, you received the Spirit, who makes us SONS and by whose power we cry out, “Abba!” (that is, “Dear Father!”) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our own spirits that we are CHILDREN OF ELOHIM; and if we are children, then we are also HEIRS, HEIRS OF ELOHIM and JOINT-HEIRS WITH THE MESSIAH.”
Covenant of Damascus (Community Rule Part 1) pg. 66-67
#7 Fruit of the Spirit-Spirit of Truth
“The WAY OF LIGHT IN THIS WORLD is to enlighten of the minds of ALL MEN by making STRAIGHT THE PATH of true righteousness and TEACHING THEIR HEART TO REVERENCE ALL THE COMMANDS OF ELOHIM! Men should have spirit of: Meekness, patience, gentleness, eternal goodness, intelligence, understanding, potent wisdom (trusting in ELOHIM for everything and depending on His great mercy), knowledge (in all plans), enthusiasm (for righteousness), set-apart purpose (with all seriousness), kindness (for all the sons of truth), magnificent purity (hating all unclean idolatry), temperance (wise behavior in everything), self-control (concealing the truth of the mysteries of knowledge). These are the foundation FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT (Galatians 5:22-23) FOR THE SONS OF TRUTH IN THIS WORLD. The reward for those who walk in these will be healing and peace with long life. They are SPIRTUAL SONS with all the eternal blessings. They will receive joy with ETERNAL LIFE, and a crown of esteem clothed in light.”
Paul is quoting the teaching of the Zadok priests that he was familiar with, which again confirms the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls. So, without the RUACH HA’KADOESH no one can be a son of ELOHIM, and if you aren’t a son of ELOHIM, you will not be joint-heirs to share in the kingdom to come, which means we all need the oil in our lamps and bearing the fruits of the Spirit, and walking in complete truth! The foolish virgins were amongst the wise until the end, just as we see the wheat amongst the tares!
Anointing as priests
Temple Scroll 22:15
“THEY SHALL EAT FROM THE OLIVES AND ANOINT THEMSELVES WITH THE NEW OIL”
As mentioned earlier we are anoint ourselves with olive oil on The feast of New oil. I see this a symbolism of the future prophecy for us being anointed to reign with YESHUA as priests.
Isaiah 61:3 (Amplified Bible)
“To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following: To give them a TURBAN instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning], The OIL OF JOY instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit. So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with ELOHIM], the planting of YAHWEH, that He may be esteemed.”
ELOHIM will give us turbans which is what the priests wore:
Exodus 28:36 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘Set-apart to YAHWEH.’ You shall fasten it on the front of the TURBAN with a blue cord. It shall be on Aaron’s forehead…”
The same “OIL OF JOY” that the righteous servants of YAHWEH are anointed with in Isaiah 61:3, are the same words used to describe the anointing oil on YESHUA:
Psalms 45:7-8 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“Your throne, ELOHIM, will last forever and ever; you rule your kingdom with a scepter of equity. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore ELOHIM, Your ELOHIM, has ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF JOY in preference to your companions.” Your robes are all fragrant with MYRRH, ALOES, AND CASSIA…”
YESHUA is the anointed High Priest and King and the righteous will be anointed to serve as priests with Him. Priests must be anointed to serve before YAHWEH just as kings and prophets were, as we see in scripture:
Leviticus 8:12 (Complete Jewish Bible)
“He (Moses) poured some of the ANOINTING OIL on Aaron’s head and ANOINTED HIM, to consecrate him. Moses brought Aaron’s sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes on them and put HEADGEAR (Strongs #4021 is Migba’ah for TURBAN) on them, as YAHWEH had ordered Moses.”
Then we will be ready to fulfill what YAHWEH wanted from the beginning:
Exodus 19:5-6 (Samaritan)
“And now then, if you will indeed obey My voice, and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a KINGDOM OF PRIESTS, AND A SET-APART SUPER POWER. These are the words that you shall speak to the Sons of Yisra’el.”
Revelation 1:5-6 (Aramaic English New Testament)
“And from YESHUA the Messiah, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who has loved us, and released us from our iniquities by His blood; and has made us a KINGDOM OF PRIESTS TO ELOHIM THE FATHER: to whom be esteem and power, for ever and ever. Ahmein.”
Revelation 5:10 (Aramaic English New Testament)
“And you have made the KINGS AND PRIESTS to our ELOHIM; and they reign on the earth.”
Revelation 20:5-6 (Aramaic English New Testament)
“This is the first resurrection. Blessed and Set Apart is he that has part in the first resurrection: over them the second death has no dominion; but they will be, and are PRIESTS OF ELOHIM AND OF HIS MESSIAH; and they will reign with Him the thousand years.”
So we started off by drinking the CUP OF JOY to be betrothed to YESHUA and ends with the OIL OF JOY to be anointed to reign with YESHUA forever as priests!
Other scriptures about new wine and oil
In scripture we can usually find New Wine and New Oil mentioned together, and here are some examples to show that the Temple scroll did not add anything to the scriptures, but rather reveals what has been hidden which gives us a new meaning when we read them in scripture now.
Deuteronomy 7:13 (Samaritan)
“And He will love you, and bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your grain,….YOUR NEW WINE, and YOUR OIL, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock, in the land that YAHWEH swore to your forefathers to give you.”
The Samaritan Torah translates it beautifully as “New Wine”, the etymology for the word New Wine is “Tiyrosh” #8492 defined by Brown-Driver’s-Briggs as: WINE, FRESH OR NEW WINE, must, FRESHLY PRESSED WINE. Strong’s concordance says: in the sense of expulsion; must or FRESH GRAPE JUICE (as squeezed out); by implication (rarely) fermented wine: (new, sweet) wine.
And the etymology for “Oil” is “Yitshar” #3323 and defined by Brown-Driver’s-Briggs as: FRESH OIL, shining (pure) oil.
Deuteronomy 11:14 (Samaritan)
“And He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and the late rain, that you may gather in your grain YOUR NEW WINE, AND YOUR OIL.”
