WHAT JUNETEENTH, THE NEWEST US FEDERAL HOLIDAY, MEANS FOR FOLLOWERS OF YAHSHUA

Revelers Waving the Juneteenth Flag 

A Bit About Juneteenth

This morning, I discovered that June 19th is now a federally recognized holiday in the United States, and it is in recognition of the date June 19th ,1865. This is the date when the official report of the end of slavery in the USA was read to the people on the losing side of the US Civil War in Galveston, Texas. On that same day, and for many days thereafter, this proclamation of the freedom of all the slaves in America would continue to be read out loud in the public squares of every city and town in the nation. Although the end of black slavery in America is being recognized by this holiday, it really is a celebration for anyone who has been held in bondage and eventually set free.

For Christians, this holiday that's officially been dubbed 'Juneteenth' can be celebrated to recognize the freedom and liberty that we have been given through our Faith in and love for Yahshua or Jesus. 

As it says in God's Word:

Celebration Fireworks

"And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” - Luke 4:17-19

As the Apostle Paul later explained in Galatians Chapter 4 and 5, the freedom and liberty that Yahshua was proclaiming is the freedom and liberty from the curse of breaking God's Laws. This liberty is given to all those who have been oppressed by Satan and his demonic hordes, which are dedicated to destroying humanity via the effects of sin and rebellion against Yahweh.

This freedom and liberty is truly only available to those who love and follow Yahshua, and keep His MORAL Commandments. Those who do have been set free from the law of sin and death through the blood of Yahshua, which was shed for us so that our sins can be forgiven. All we need to do to secure that forgiveness is to love and follow, or 'believe in' Yahshua as their Messiah or Liberator. 

Yahshua's most important commandments include loving our Heavenly Father, ourselves and our neighbors with all of our spirit, body, and mind, forgiving others so we can be forgiven, repenting of our sin and dedicating our lives to serve Yahweh, and caring for the poor and needy among us while preaching the Gospel of Salvation to them. Indeed, true repentance is turning 180° away from sin, and trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us to live a life that is pleasing to our Heavenly Father.

When we are inhabited by the Holy Spirit, it doesn't matter what you've done, or what you will fail to do in the future. As long as you remain faithful to the Messiah and are committed to following him forever. 

Yahweh God will always forgive those who repent, and he will continue to forgive them as long as they continue to repent. God's Mercy is so great that he even forgives us for sins that we don't even know we've committed, and he will be faithful to bring us to full perfection and holiness when we are resurrected with our new spiritual bodies, hopefully someday soon!

Book 1: The Language of
God In The Universe

Before I close, I would like to introduce myself to those who don't know who I am. I'm Helena Lehman, the Bible Scholar that created the Pillar of Enoch Ministry web site over 20 years ago, and the Author of the Language of God Book Series, which I finished self publishing in 2009. This encyclopedic 4 volume set of research books explores the sacred biblical rituals and implements, the people, and the creations of God in the light of understanding God's symbolic language. 

Book 2: The Language of
God In Humanity

This language utilizes biblical dates, numbers, events, heavenly signs, and parables hidden in everything that God created, especially the earthly activities of humanity, and the signs in the starry heavens. Although it is not that difficult to learn how to understand God's language, some pointed guidance is usually necessary to set people on the right path to feeling closer to God through his symbolic language.

God In History
