SID: All right, now I have a lot of friends, of course being Jewish that celebrate the Jewish feasts. But Richard said the Jewish feasts are not just the Jewish feasts, they’re the biblical feasts. So why today is it so important for a Christian to celebrate and be, and understand these feasts?
RICHARD: Well you can’t understand the Bible without doing this, Sid. First of all, these are not the feasts of the Jews, as you said. These are the feasts of the Lord. It says it very clearly in the Bible: “For all of God’s covenant people, for all times to observe and celebrate.”
SID: Actually in Leviticus it says, God says, “These are MY feasts.” That’s why he said the feasts of the Lord.
RICHARD: Now Jesus was the reality of these pictures. He was the person the pictures were pointing to. So he was crucified at Passover. He was buried at unleavened bread. He was resurrected at first fruits. He sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Shavuot.
SID: And by the way, that’s, he’s just pointed out the history of the First Coming of Jesus. So if you were a Jewish person and you understood the feasts, not with the rabbinic understanding of 2000 years ago, but the biblical understanding, you would not have missed Jesus’ First Coming. Richard, this is so precise. When you, when this first dawned on you, what happened to you?
RICHARD: I went crazy in the Spirit. The zeal of the Lord consumed me.
SID: Well you were talking about Passover. Passover comes from what Christians call the Last Supper, Communion.
RICHARD: Right.
SID: And they actually had the first communion where Jesus explained it and you said more miracles happen when believers take communion than almost any other time. Why is that?
RICHARD: Because the idea of being a true believer is that you are, you have union with God. The Holy Spirit of God comes to live inside you and the best graphic illustration of that, visually, is when you’re taking communion. Come-U-nion. I’m in you, you’re in me. The two of us have become one. Now most communion services kind of border on funeral services. I’m being nice here. But the Lord said this is the time you are to celebrate the blood covenant union that you have with me.
SID: Tell me one person that while they were celebrating this after hearing your revelation, God healed?
RICHARD: Well there was a lady in Florida, I remember, and she was a godly little Pentecostal lady, and this might blow people’s theologies, but it is what it is, and she had had heart problems for years, Sid. And during this teaching, while she’s taking the cup and while she’s taking the bread, this is why I encourage people to expect a miracle when you take the cup and bread. She heard a noise insider her, a voice inside her and she thought it was the Lord giving her a new prayer language. But as this voice got louder she could tell it was not the Spirit of God’s voice. It was an ugly voice. And so what happened was while she was taking the cup and the bread, this spirit had been lodged in the physical organ of her heart for years, I suppose. And when she took the cup and the bread she felt this spirit come out of her heart, up through her neck and out of her vocal chords, out of her mouth. She was instantly healed and delivered by taking the bread and the cup. Hallelujah.
SID: The Book of Revelation said the devil is overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Now when we come back, if the first feasts were fulfilled so specifically for the First Coming of Jesus, I want to see if there is tribulation, where the rapture is. I mean, look at all these different views. He spent 40 years studying it, had it downloaded from God. I want to hear what God has shown him. Do you?
