ELUL DAY 4 The King Is In Your Field

This past Tuesday night at Sundown began the Sixth Biblical month of Elul. Did you know, this begins the traditional period of “Teshuvah”, a 40-day period of repenting and returning to God. It concludes with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement or The Day of Covering, the holiest day on the Hebrew calendar.

Elul 1 is the day that rain began to pour upon Noah’s Ark for 40 days, to cleanse the earth from man’s corruption.

Elul 1 is the day that Moses went up to Mount Sinai for 40 days, to meet God and atone for the sin of the Golden Calf, the second tablet. (Notice the 40 days.)

Elul 1 is the day that Jonah went to the city of Ninevah, warning them that they had 40 days to repent, and turn to God, or else their city would be destroyed. (Again, 40 days.) Just before Jonah’s warning, Ninevah experienced a total solar eclipse that passed over them as a warning (in 753 BCE).

Elul 1 is when the prophet Haggai commanded that the rebuilding of the second temple be continued, after the project had been halted.

Elul 1 is the day that John the Baptist called people to repentance, and Yeshua was baptized by him. Following that, Yeshua spent the 40 days of “Teshuvah” in the wilderness, tempted by Satan. (There’s that 40 days again.)

The Jewish tradition during this season of “Teshuvah” is to recite Psalm 27 daily, and to blow the shofar each morning (except on Shabbats). It is a time of personal reflection, to right the wrongs in our lives, and heal broken relationships. It is the time to prepare for the coming High Holy Days — Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Tabernacles.

Elul 1 is the day of the New Moon. Ezekiel 46:1 tells us that God open the gates to his inner court to us on New Moon days, that is Elul 1.

Repentance is simply turning 180 degrees from the way you’re going. Go the opposite way. Simply put, Jesus says you need to change how you think and act. If more people truly realized what repentance is, they’d be more apt to repent.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord… – Acts 3:19

I love living my life on the timing and seasons of the Biblical Calendar. It gives me focus for prayer, belief, direction, and purpose. This month is the month of ELUL which means "The King Is in Your Field." It is the month of the book of Ruth in the Old Testament and the Matthew 3, The Baptism of Jesus in the New Testament. It is the month of, Repent for The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand."

In the book of Ruth, God chooses a Gentile women, Ruth and Boaz a land owner to marry and begin the lineage of David thus the family line of Yeshua, King Jesus.

Ruth is a Midianite/Outsider yet receives the Blessings of God.

She is loyal to her family and God rewards her.

Even though she is a widow/gentile/and impoverished she carries herself with respect and honor.

She does not walk in anger, contempt, and blame for her circumstance.

The Kinsman Redeemer, Boaz, a type of Messiah in Old Testament notices her and marries her. FAVOR! YATZEE!

They have a great grandson named David, son of Jesse.
