No longer, does the <i>kahal<\/i> of Yeshua have to wait for a Jewish Sanhedrin to form to tell them how to follow the Word of Elohim with regard to the biblical calendar or any other subjects for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>Yeshua here permits and empowers the spiritual leaders of the saints to simply teach and do what the Bible says, and heaven will honor or endorse their decisions (called \u201cbinding\u201d and \u201cloosing\u201d)! That\u2019s what Yeshua says in Matthew 16:19, and this is exactly what his apostolic leaders did in Acts 15 at the first apostolic counsel.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the biblical calendar, please go to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/teaching.html#feast\">http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/teaching.html#feast<\/a> where you will find several short teaching articles on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>For a free biblical, printable calendar, go to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/calendars.html\">http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/calendars.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Binding, Loosing and the Biblical Calendar',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2013\/10\/19\/loosing-and-the-biblical-calendar\/',contentID: 'post-3823',suggestTags: 'Biblical Calendar,Binding and Loosing,Matthew',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew 16:17\u201319, Bind\u2026loose.
