The Eighth DayAssembly
(שמיני עצרת )
By Norman B. Willis
Colossians 2:16-17, KJV16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of
the new moons, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come;
but the body is of Christ.
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 12:3232 "Whatever I command you,
be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.”
Mishle (Proverbs) 30:66 Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
Colossians 2:16-17, KJV Corrected16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat,
or in drink, or in respect of an holy day,
or of the new moons, or of the sabbath:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body of [Messiah].
Three Main Ideas:A) Let no man therefore judge you
in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moons,
or of the sabbath: B) Which are (prophetic) shadows
of things (still) to come; C) but the body of [Messiah].
Three Main Ideas:A) Therefore let no man
C) but the body of [Messiah].judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day,
or of the new moons, or of the sabbath:
B) Because they are [prophetic] shadows of things [still] to come;
Shaul’s message:The festivals are all
prophetic shadow pictures of things yet to come.
[The apostles still kept the feasts]

(Why?)
עֲצֶרֶת OT:6116 `atsarah or `atsereth;
from OT:6113; an assembly, especially on a festival or holiday:
OT:6113 `atsar (עצר); a primitive root; to enclose; by analogy, to hold back;
also to maintain, rule, assemble:KJV - be able, close up, detain, fast, keep (self close, still), prevail, recover, refrain,
reign, restrain, retain, shut (up), slack, stay, stop, withhold (self).
How does Yahweh intendto “hold us over”?
Kepha Bet (2nd Peter) 3:88 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing:
that with YHWH, one [prophetic] day is as a thousand years,
and a thousand years is as one day.
B’reisheet (Genesis) 2:22 And on the seventh day Elohim
ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day
from all His work which He had done.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:41-4341 You shall keep it as a feast to YHWH for
seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your
generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:41-4342 You shall dwell in booths for seven days.
All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths,
43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths
when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your Elohim.'"
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:3636 For seven days you shall offer an
offering made by fire to YHWH. On the eighth day you shall have a set-
apart assembly (עֲצֶרֶת), and you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH. It is a
set-apart assembly (עֲצֶרֶת), and you shall do no customary work on it.
Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:3939 “Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit
of the land, you shall keep the feast of YHWH for seven days; on the first day
there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest.
Day 1 symbolizes the creation?
B’reisheet (Genesis) 1:1-21 In the beginning Elohim created the
heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was made formless and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
Eighth day symbolizes the Tarry service.

fire to Yahweh.(Earth will be burned up.)
Kepha Bet (2 Peter) 3:1010 But the day of Yahweh will come as a

for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
Hitgalut (Revelation) 14:17-1916 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His
sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 14:17-1917 Then another messenger came out of
the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Hitgalut (Revelation) 14:17-1918 And another messenger came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the
sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of
the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe."
Hitgalut (Revelation) 14:17-1919 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth,
and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of Elohim.
