From H7121; something called out, that is, a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the palce); also a rehearsal: - assembly, calling, convocation, reading.
Convocation
CONVOCATION, n. [L.]
1. The act of calling or assembling by summons.
2. An assembly.
In the first day there shall be a holy convocation. Exo 12.
3. In England, an assembly of the clergy, by their representatives, to consult on ecclesiastical affairs. It is held during the session of parliament, and consists of an upper and lower house. In the upper house sit the archbishops and bishops; in the lower house sit the inferior clergy, represented by their proctors, consisting of all the deans and arch-deacons, of one proctor for every chapter, and two for the clergy of every diocese, in all one hundred and forty-three divines, vix. Twenty-two deans, fifty-three arch-deacons, twenty-four prebendaries, and forty-four proctors of the diocesan clergy.
4. An academical assembly, in which the business of the university is transacted.
Yahwey's convocations = telling us when to assemble together.
Just think about Passover. Every year it was "rehearsed" as God commanded. Then the year of Christ's passion, He fulfills the Passover in every way. If you were standing beside the road waiting for the High Priest to come in to Jerusalem with the chosen perfect lamb, ready to cry out Hosanna to the highest, and here comes Jesus, and the people lined up beside the road are calling out Hosanna to the highest, and the High Priest is still some distance away and he hears the people proclaiming Hosanna to the highest, you might know, if you are expecting literal fulfillment, that literal fulfillment is happening at that very moment.
Now, my belief is that just as Jesus fulfilled the Spring Feasts 100% (Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost) that Jesus will fulfill the Fall Feasts 100%. Not rocket science?
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
So why was there need to for Paul to write to them? Why are they NOT IN DARKNESS? Is it that they know the times and the seasons (ie. The Fall Feasts)?
While most of modern traditional Christianity is going around telling everyone about Christ and His imminent rapture of the Church on any old day will He come, the children of Israel have a firm and secure faith that Christ will not return on any old day. The Feast of Trumpets (which the Jews call Rosh Hashana...New Year) will be when Christ will return and fulfill all of the Fall Feasts 100%, just as He has already done for the Spring Feasts of Yahwey.
If you care nothing for the "Old Testament" which is "instructions and sure words of prophecy", then you are not of Christ. Christ expects us to know which Feast when He will return and He expects His bride to be ready.
Mar_12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
God does not change his mode of operation. Period. Christ came to reinforce all that God had already commanded. Christ stated He was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Christ did fulfill the Passover lamb sacrifice and the goat sacrifice on the Day of Atonement. All other sacrifices are "offerings" of freewill and based on individuals and heart motives. All corporate sacrifices for Israel were fulfilled in Christ.
Here is a few verses that stand out to me.
Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God (that is Yahoshua which means God’s salvation or Yah’s salvation) is sent unto the Gentiles[SUP]G1484 [/SUP] (lost sheep of the house of Israel) , and that they will hear it.

Rom 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Rev_18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Mal_1:11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal_3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Heb_13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Joh_10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh_17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
1Co_8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
1Jn_2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
