Double Portion Inheritance: Walking in the Light of YaHuWaH’s Feasts or Caught off Guard by the Thief in the Night? (09/05/2013)

When the Apostle Shau’wl (Paul) wrote to the Thessalonians, they were already familiar with this metaphor concerning the High Priest and “the thief in the night.” These New Covenant believers were already celebrating the prophetic feasts year after year, and this is why Paul called them “children of the light.” Shau’wl (Paul) knew that these followers of Messiah were not in darkness because they were keeping their “oil lamps filled” and ready for “the day that no man knows.” Our Messiah Yahuwshuwa is our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek and he will not come as a thief in the night for those who are walking in the “light” of his instructions (Towrah). In 1st Thessalonians 5, Paul wrote: 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
