Yahweh's Assembly in Rabbi Yahshua Messiah

The Eighth Day (called Shemini Atzeret in Judaism) is first mentioned in connection to the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in Leviticus 23:36:

“For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day you shall have a set-apart convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.”

The "made by fire" then is the actual fire symbolizes both refining and purifying; to Yahshua and his followers up to our present day, it signifies the transformative power of the Ruach haQodesh (Set-apart Spirit), the presence of Yahweh Elohim. In the New Testament, the altar can serve as a picture of our commitment to Yahweh, not doing the customary work but the work of Elohim made for righteousness. As believers in Rabbi Yahshua Messiah, we are called upon to offer our bodies as “living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1), engulfed by the divine gift: the inextinguishable fire of the Set-apart Spirit. It also describes as the final harvest or the judgment day.

The Eighth Day is also mentioned in verse 39; Numbers 29:35; 2 Chronicles 7:9; and Nehemiah 8:18. Rabbi Yahshua ha'Mashiach also observed the Eighth Day or Last Great Day in John chapters 7 through 9..
