Celebrate Jubilee Hanukkah joy, your Eighth Day. As you have received these Good Tidings, let your faith now grow unto your own eighth day. Yes, for seven days your faith has been perfected, and on this Eighth day you shall be circumcised unto the Lord, in preparation for your Ninth. For this Scripture of liberation is now fulfilled to you: Thus saith the Lord, I have broken the yoke from off thy neck, and have burst thy bonds!
Henceforth, O Palestine, you shall now serve your Lord God, the Root of David, your King over all the earth; in enactment of this Eighth Day, He will pour his Spirit upon you, O Zion; yes, He will pour water upon him that is thirsty, indeed, floods upon the dry ground!
This is your Promised Land. As the Eighth Day is the day of thanks, that after forty years your Lord brought your fathers into the Promised Land, that they could begin to do battle and possess, you are now invited (after fifty generations) to enter your own Jubilee salvation, your promised land which you are now to battle the devil and possess by faith, that on your own eighth day you shall now partake of the Living Water, which is the Holy Spirit of your Lord. Yes, you shall now become the children of God possessing eternal salvation, by your faith in Jesus Christ.
Possess your own circumcision… Have you dedicated yourself, fulfilling your personal Hanukkah? Have you sought out your High Priest, the Lord Jesus Christ, and confessed your sins, that He shall now forgive your sins? If you have become grieved for your Lord, who died for your sins, and you have been humbled because you are a sinner in need of a Savior, then you are now made ready for the comforts of the Holy Spirit! Yes, as Abraham received the promise while he was yet uncircumcised, so also are you to receive these Jubilee Promises, and then – become circumcised in your heart unto the risen Lord, on your own eighth day.
Let your eighth day become your Holy Convocation, your day of circumcision. Now, O Palestine, what does the Lord thy God require of you? But to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Therefore, O daughter of Jerusalem, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
On your Eighth Day, celebrate the circumcision of your heart unto the Lord’s service. As you have received these Good Tidings, repented of serving sin, and believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation, let your heart be circumcised on the eighth day (the eighth day—of your personal Jubilee—signifying that you have completed your duty to God), that on this day you shall come to the Lord and drink of the Holy Spirit, being born again of the Spirit of God.
Therefore, circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you people of Palestine, and inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Heed this warning. Thus saith the Lord, No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, shall enter into my sanctuary (ninth day). Thus, O Zion, you are commanded to circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked against your Lord God. It is now your responsibility and your duty to be circumcised. If you refuse this circumcision, you shall be cut off from the remnant of the Lord; unless you circumcise the foreskin of your heart, you shall perish in hell fire!
The genuine and unfeigned Jew. Your own circumcision is your own consecration unto your Lord God. For it is written, Thou shalt return unto the Lord thy God and shall obey his voice; the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou may live.
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; no, you are not a true Jew just because you were born in Israel, or because you were born of Jewish parents, or because you have gone through the Jewish ceremony of circumcision. NO, A TRUE JEW IS ONE WHOSE HEART IS RIGHT WITH GOD! And the true circumcision is not a cutting of the body, but a change of heart produced by God’s Spirit. As you experience this Holy Spirit Circumcision, you will have praise from God, and you will hear the rejoicing of his angels.
And unto you, O corporate Palestine, you shall come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, through his Holy Spirit, from the least to the greatest among you, as you enter your Jubilee salvation, your own Promised Land, fulfilling your destined Ninth Year.
You shall not enter into this New Covenant with your Lord until you have circumcised your heart unto his service. Yet as you are obedient, your Lord will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your children, that you shall learn to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live forever.
Moreover, circumcision was a bloody ordinance, for all things by the law were purged by blood. But, dear brethren, the blood of Christ already being shed, all bloody ordinances are now abolished; circumcision therefore gives way to the Spiritual baptism of the Eighth Day– the circumcision of our heart through faith in our Savior.
