The Eternal Sabbath — From Creation to the Eighth Day

When we read the creation account in Genesis, every day ends with the same rhythm: “And there was evening, and there was morning — the first day… the second day…” But when we come to the seventh day — the Sabbath — something extraordinary happens. The pattern breaks. There is no mention of “evening and morning.” The text simply says, “God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and made.”

Cleansing from Leprosy — A New Start, A Restored Life

In Leviticus 14, God gave detailed instructions for the cleansing of one healed from leprosy. It was a long and careful process—seven days of examination, washing, and waiting outside the camp — and then came the eighth day, the day of restoration. On that day, the person who had once been exiled and isolated returned with sacrifices in hand: a guilt offering, a sin offering, and a burnt offering before the Lord. Scripture says, “The priest shall make atonement for the one to be cleansed before the Lord, and he shall be clean” (Leviticus 14:20).

Final Cry of Elul — Awake, Bride of Messiah

The month of Elul has been a journey of mercy, repentance, and preparation. From the first blast of the shofar to the last fading note, every day has called us to return, to awaken, to draw near. Elul began with the whisper of covenant love: “I am my Beloved’s, and my Beloved is mine.” It reminded us of Moses ascending the mountain for forty days, of God revealing Himself not as eager to destroy, but as merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love. It pointed us to second chances, to restoration, to intimacy with the Bridegroom.

Awake, O Watchman!

The cry of Elul is not only for comfort — it is for awakening. Isaiah sees the watchmen on Zion’s walls lifting their voices together, proclaiming salvation and declaring: “Your God reigns!” This is the prophetic call of Elul: to rise from slumber, to take our place on the walls, and to publish the good news with urgency.

Seek His Face!

David’s “one thing” is not wishful thinking — it is anchored in God’s promise. He knows that when trouble comes, God Himself will hide him, cover him, and lift him high upon a rock. Notice the language: hide… conceal… cover… lift. These are not the actions of a distant God but of a protective Bridegroom. This is the confidence of Elul: when the shofar sounds, we are not exposed to wrath — we are invited into covering.

A weekly call to return!

As we walk through Elul, we hear the daily shofar reminding us to awaken and return. But God has already built a rhythm of return into every single week — Shabbat.

Shabbat is more than a day of rest. It is a covenant sign (Exodus 31:16-17), a reminder that the work is not ultimately ours but His. Just as Elul prepares us for the High Holy Days, Shabbat prepares us for eternity. Each week, we step aside from labor, lay down our striving, and remember that redemption and provision come from the Lord alone.

The Forty Days of Mercy!

When Israel fell at Sinai with the golden calf, it could have marked the end of their story. But instead, God called Moses back up the mountain for another forty days. According to Jewish tradition, this second ascent began on the first day of Elul. For forty days and nights, Moses interceded for a rebellious people, pleading for mercy and the renewal of the covenant.
