“Ezra read out of the book of the law of God every day, from the first day to the last. The Israelites celebrated the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day there was an assembly, according to the ordinance.” Nehemiah 8:18

“It was a warm breezy morning. We were sitting on the side of one of the hills that overlooked the school.
“I believe I made a discovery,” I said.
“I’d love to hear it,” said the teacher.
“Shemini Atzeret is the Eighth Day … but there’s another Eighth Day.”
“And what day is that?”
“The resurrection,” I said, “the day of the resurrection. The resurrection happened on the first day of the week. Therefore, it was the Eighth Day.”
“It was the Eighth Day. So what does that mean?”
“The Eighth Day is about leaving the old creation …”
“Yes, and the resurrection is also about leaving the old life.”
“The Eighth Day,” I said, “is the day of transcending the old, overcoming the ultimate limitation, death, and thus every limitation.”
‘And the Eighty Day is the day after the end …”
“As is the resurrection … they day after the end of the old life, the old existence, and the power to live beyond it.”
“So the two days,” I said, “the day of the resurrection and the day of eternity, are joined together.”
“And on what Hebrew holy day was the resurrection?” he asked.
“The Day of the Firstfruits.”
“Yes,” said the teacher. “The resurrection is the first fruits of the age to come, the first manifestation of the Eighth Day, heaven. And when in the week do most of Messiah’s people gather?”
“On the first day.”
“Which means they gather on the Eighty Day. They gather on the Eighty Day because they are of the Eighth Day. For all who are of Messiah are given the power of the Eighty Day, the power to leave the old life, to transcend this creation, to overcome all limitations, to live after the end, and in the realm of the heavenly. So do not be bound by this age. Live beyond it. For we are not of this world… We are children of the Eighth Day.”
The Mission: Learn the secret of living the Eighty Day — beyond the flesh, beyond the world, beyond the self, beyond the old – in the beyond of now.”

(*A):
“For we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that the sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, since a person who has died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him, because we know that Christ, having been raised from thee dead, no longer dies. Death no longer rules over Him. For in that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives, He lives to God. So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Romans 6: 5-11
“Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing , and the perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2
“You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4
