NCAY Annual Festival Banners
A number of banners have been proposed for use in the festivals. The following designs by Lev-Tsiyon are a provisional selection (March 2017) for any NCAY assemblies who may wish to make use of them.
A. SPRING FESTIVALS
Spring Moedim Banner I for use in NCAY
(Pesach, Chag haMatzah & Yom haBikkurim)
Spring Moedim Banner II for use in the Chavurat Bekorot
(Pesach, Chag haMatzah & Yom haBikkurim)
I. Pesach (Passover) Banner
The theme of this Pesach banner is the blood sacrifice (red) made in atonement by the Son of Elohim (God) (the Lamb) on behalf of the sins of the world.
II. Chag haMatzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread) Banner
The theme of this festival is unleavened bread or matzah represented here by the square in the centre. A life of holiness in obedience to the mitzvot (commandments) as an ahavah (love) offering to the Lamb is enjoined represented by getting the leaven of sin our of the lives of the qodeshim (saints, set-apart ones).
III. Yom haBikkurim (Day of Firstfruits) Banner
Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) is the bikkurim or firstfruits of the resurrection (represented by the triumphant Lion of the Tribe of Judah in the blue half of the banner), being the fruit of Pesach (represented by the red half of the banner).
B. SUMMER FESTIVAL
IV.Shavu'ot (Weeks, 'Pentecost') Banner
The first meessianic Shavu'ot after the death of resurrection of Messiah was marked by an outpouring of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit, here respresented by the dove), leading to the empowerment of the qodeshim (saints, set-apart ones).
C. AUTUMN (FALL) FESTIVALS
Autumn Moedim Banner
(Yom Teruah, Yom haKippurim & Sukkot)
V. Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets, Shouting) Banner
Yom Teruah is the only annual festival at which twin silver trumpets are blown announcing the Second Coming of the Messiah dressed in red robes (hence the red shield) to tread the grapes of wrath in judgment of the world.
VI. Yom haKippurim (Day of Atonements) Banner
Yom haKippurim is the day that the world is judged (the red stripe) by the Righteous Judge, King Yah'shua (Jesus), the Yah'shua-trusting and Torah-obedient are resurrected, Satan and his demons are cast into a sealed pit to no more trouble mankind, and the Millennium inaugurated.
VII. Sukkot (Tabernacles) Banner
Sukkot is the glorious Marriage Feast of the Lamb to His Bride, the qodeshim (saints, set-apart ones) of the First Resurrection.
VIII. Shemini Atseret (The Last Great Day) Banner
At sunrise on the final Shemini Atseret, the former dispensation ends and the first day of the Millennial Reign of shalom (peace) and ahavah (love) begins.
