The Agriculture system – Tishrei – Ephraim
The 7th month on the Hebrew calendar, (God’s calendar) represents the agricultural system. In Hebrew or Jewish teaching this month is called the beginning of a civil year, because the 7th month on the Hebrew ( Jewish calendar) marks the beginning of a new year.
The 7th month on God’s calendar stands for Ephraim; Ephraim was the son of Joseph that Joseph begot when he was in Egypt.
The name “Ephraim” means: fruitful, Genesis 41:52 says that Joseph called his second son”Ephraim”; for God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
In this season that falls in the 7 th month on God’s calendar (Jewish calendar), God made Adam’s vision to become fruitful, or to bear fruit.
A physical land that was wild or uncivilized in nature, without physical vegetation as in Genesis 2:5-7,
became a fruitful garden in Eden, (A garden where God’s presence or glory enriches, and sustains every living organism, trees, animals, plants that grew in the garden).
The agricultural, and civil development that took place in the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 2:8-13 talks about how God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and in this garden the Lord God made every tree to grow that was pleasant to the sight and good for food.
The tree of life and the tree of Knowledge of good and evil were in the midst of the garden. And in this Garden, God also planted or deposited wealth (riches) in the form of precious stones of gold silver bdellium, onyx, diamond etc (as it is written in Genesis 2:12).
The 7 th month on the Hebrew calendar stands for the agricultural system. This is also the month that commemorates the beginning of a new year on God’s calendar.
The Hebrew word “Rosh-Hashanah” means the head of the year, the beginning of a new Jewish year or Hebrew year.
But also this same word Rosh-Hashanah means the beginning of a civil year or the beginning of a new agricultural season.
The word civil means; citizen, social, organized government, legal law, Torah, recognized, civilized or good moral standards; which is the opposite of wild, evil, gentile or ignorant.
The word agriculture means; the science, art, or occupation concerned with cultivating land, raising crops, and feeding, breeding, and raising livestock; farming, but the deeper kabalistic meaning of the word agriculture is defined as the ability or capacity of being able to apply the spiritual (biblical) principles in one’s life,
so that oneäs life may enable the physical nature that is concealed in plants, trees, animals, wealth (gold, silver money, diamonds), technology, and all the material things in the earth to bear fruit or to become fruitful.
In Genesis 1:27 God blessed the man and the woman, and God said to them be fruitful and multiply.
Genesis 2:15 says; Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend it and keep it.
The 7th month which stands for the agricultural system is the season when God puts in order the spiritual lives of the people that are walking in obedience to his prophetic teachings and commandments,
so that they may bear much fruit of divine health, wealth and spiritual prosperity.
But also this is the same season when those that are walking in rebellion against God’s will, will begin to suffer or reap the consequences or harvest of their evil choices as it is written in the book of John 15:1-8.
This month falls in September or October.
