The Creation Gospel's choice of Biblical Tamar Park as a base for our tours, where we celebrate the Feasts is not random.  Tamar is the southernmost boundary of Israel that will be established when the tribes are restored to their inheritance in the Messianic Age.  Ezekiel 47 gives a beautiful description of the Arava desert as does Isaiah 35.

In the blossoming desert around Tamar, Israel takes a step home.  There she will prepare each year by drinking from the river that flows from the Temple. The step-by-step journey begins among the nations of exile.  What if other sheep hear Yeshua's voice and yearn to celebrate the biblical feasts in the Land of Israel, yet they have no pedigree in hand?  It doesn't matter because….

Thus says the Lord GOD, "This shall be the boundary by which you shall divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel...the south shall extend from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt and to the Great Sea…. You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the aliens who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.” (Ezek 47)

Notably, Solomon used Tamar as a fortress to guard southern Israel and its trade routes.  It was Solomon who first prayed for the nations who would turn toward the Holy Temple and pray.  He asked that their requests and return be accepted by the Father.  Blossoming Rose at Tamar is a wonderful step that connects both native-born Israel and the "strangers" who return. 

By going up to celebrate the feasts in Israel, you are cooperating with Yeshua, Moses, and Elijah. And, as the famous Rabbi Kook stated, “the redemption continues onwards. The redemption from Egypt and the complete redemption of the future is one, uninterrupted act. Moses and Elijah work to bring the same single redemption.  One begins, and one concludes; together they complete a unit.... The spirit of Israel listens to the sounds of redemptive activity, the result of all events, until the full sprouting of salvation, it is fullness and goodness."

Returning to the southern boundary of Israel is prophetic, and it explains the Mount of Transfiguration where Moses and Elijah spoke with Yeshua.  Yeshua was sacrificed at Passover, he was taken away just before Shavuot, and he will set up his Kingdom at Sukkot.  Yeshua is the Strong Hand and the Outstretched Arm that connects the Feasts...until Elijah is standing at the door.

Until that day, we take obedient steps HOME from our lands of captivity. If you can accept it, Elijah has already come.  After all, at the Transfiguration, when the disciples looked up, it was only Yeshua who stood there.  He is our Passover and our Sukkot.

Our tours and volunteer activities will focus on the biblical teaching of resurrection.  We will study the process of death, burial, post-mortem experience, and two resurrections from Genesis to Revelation.  Specific sites along the journey will offer the opportunities to stand on the ground where biblical events and prophecy of the nations will take place.
