Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s,
Today is August 28, 2021
August -- Augustus Caesar's month
Latin Augustus "Augustus"
Latin Augustus mensis "month of Augustus"
Latin sextilis mensis "sixth
month"
Sextilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
Augustus Caesar clarified and completed the calendar reform of Julius Caesar. In the process, he also renamed this month after himself. Ha, why not?
Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are now in the 6th month of God called Elul, day 19
Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul אֱלוּל in fifty and two days
Neh.7 [73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath like they did in the Book of Acts.
Acts: 13 [15] … after the reading of the law and the prophets…
Yeshua said unto them,
Luke 24[44] … These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
The Word of God - Torah, Prophets and Writings (psalms)
Ta Na Kk is an acronym for:
T = Torah (law, teachings) - first 5 books of Moses
N = Navi' eem or prophets (pl. sounds like - Na vi eem)
K = Ke'tuvim or writings (psalms etc.)
At this point, there were neither gospels nor letters.
***I will have this on until the day it all starts:
The fall feasts of Yehovah for 2021 in the seventh month
The seventh month is called ha Ethanim below:
1Kgs.8 [2] … all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto King Solomon at the feast in the month ha Ethanim, which is the seventh month
For 2021, ha Ethanim, the seventh month of God
Again, all these days start the evening before:
A memorial of blowing of trumpets - Sept. 9, 2021 - Thursday, a Sabbath
The Day of Atonement - Sept. 18, 2021 - Saturday, a Sabbath
The feast of Tabernacles - Sept. 23 to 30, 2021 - Thursday to Thursday, 2 Sabbaths
Back up scriptures:
The 7th month, ha Ethanim, has 4 extra Sabbaths
Lev.23
[23] And Yehovah spoke
unto Moses, saying,
[24] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the
seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a
Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
[25] Ye shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an
offering made by fire unto Yehovah.
[26]
And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,
[27] Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall
be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you;
and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Yehovah.
[28] And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day
of atonement, to make an atonement for you before Yehovah your
God.
[29] For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be
afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
[30] And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the
same soul will I destroy from among his people.
[31] Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[32] It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and you
shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from
even unto even, shall you celebrate your Sabbath.
[33]
And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,
[34] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth
day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days
unto Yehovah.
[35] On
the first day shall be an holy
convocation: you shall do no servile work therein.
[36] Seven days you shall offer an offering made by
fire unto Yehovah: on the eighth day shall
be a holy convocation unto you;
and you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yehovah: it is a solemn assembly; and you shall do no servile work therein.
[37] These are the feasts of Yehovah…

We are instructed:
Eph.4 [22] That you put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;[23]
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
[24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.
[25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man
/ woman truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
[26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
[27] neither give place to the devil.
[28] Let him her that stole steal no more: but rather let him
labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give
to him that needs.
[29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
[30] And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day
of redemption.
[31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking,
be put away from you, with all malice:
[32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even
as God for Messiah's sake hath forgiven you.
Eph.5 [11] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them [12] For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
1Cor.10 [20] But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and, I would not that you should have fellowship with devils.
"Witchcraft is a sin"
1Sam.15 [23] For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you hast rejected the word of Yehovah, he hath also rejected you from being king.

Brother Saul says:
Gal.5 [19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,[20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,[21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Witchcrafts - magic: - sorcery
Exod.22 [18] you shall not suffer a witch to live.
On certain pagan holidays why would you dress your sweet daughter like a witch, a sin?
You shall not learn
Deut. 18:[9] When
you are come into the land which Yehovah your
God give you, you shall
not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
[10] There shall not be found among you any one
that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses
divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
[11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto Yehovah: and because of these abominations Yehovah your God doth drive them out from before you.
Josh.13 [22] Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
At Daniel time:
Dan.2 [27] Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king…
Dan.4 [7] Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
Dan.5 [7] The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shows me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
[11] There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king, I say, your father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers…
Mic.5 [12] And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers:
2Kgs.9 [22] And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
Mic.5 [12] And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers…
Nah.3 [4] Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Sorceries & Sorcery
Rev.9 [20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Here the full chapter:
Rev.18 [1] And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
[2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
[3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
[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.
[5] For her sins have
reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
[6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according
to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
[7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
[8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and
mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is
the Lord God who judges her.
[9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived
deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see
the smoke of her burning,[10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment,
saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour
is your judgment come.
[11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no
man buyeth their
merchandise any more:
[12] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and
of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood,
and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood,
and of brass, and iron, and marble,
[13] And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and
oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots,
and slaves, and souls of men.
[14] And the fruits that your soul lusted after are departed from
you, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from you, and you
shall find them no more at all.
[15] The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand
afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
[16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
[17] For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every
shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by
sea, stood afar off,
[18] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is
like unto this great city!
[19] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
[20] Rejoice over her, you heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
[21] And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22] And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in you; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you;
[23] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived.
[24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Acts.13[6] And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:[7] Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
[8] But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
[9] Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the
Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
[10] And said, O full of all subtilty and
all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all
righteousness, wilt you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
[11] And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be
blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a
mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking
some to lead him by the hand.
[12] Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being
astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
The dead can't hear you!
Lev.21 [1] And Yehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people…
Num.6 [11] And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
Num.9 [6] And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day [7] And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of Yehovah in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
Ecclesiastes 9 [5] For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.[6] Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
The Maccabees are not scriptural, you can't pray to or for the dead (like Catholics)
2 Maccabees 12: 43 And
making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for
sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead,
thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection,
44 (For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,)
45 And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them.
46 It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.
Assyria - Mic.5 [12]
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of
your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers:[13] Thy graven
images also will I cut off, and your standing images out of the midst of you;
and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.
[14] And I will pluck up your groves out of the midst of you: so will I
destroy your cities.
[15] And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen,
such as they have not heard.
Nah.1[1] The burden of Nineveh ( capital of the ancient kingdom of Assyria )
Nah.3 [4] Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
2Kgs.9 [22] and it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, what peace, so long as the whoredoms of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
Bewitched L
Acts.8 [9] But there was a certain man, called
Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the
people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:[10] To
whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is
the great power of God.
[11] And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had
bewitched them with sorceries.
[12] But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the
kingdom of God, and the name of Yeshua the
Messiah, they were baptized, both men and women.
[13] Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he
continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which
were done.
[14] Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria
had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
[15] Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might
receive the Holy Ghost:
[16] (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
[17] Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy
Ghost.
[18] And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands
the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
[19] Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he
may receive the Holy Ghost.
[20] But Peter said unto him, your money perishes with you, because you
hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
[21] Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is
not right in the sight of God.
[22] Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps
the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
[23] For I perceive that you are in the gall of
bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
[24] Then answered Simon, and said, Pray you to the Lord for me, that
none of these things which you have spoken come upon me.
Gal.3 [1] O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Yeshua the Messiah hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Astrology - The study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.
Remember: Astrology is not Astronomy: the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.
Eye of Horus, any potions, chanting, magical charms, beads, crystal ball readings – No!
Saul said:
2Cor.11 [13] Watch for - false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Messiah.[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.[15] Therefore it is no great thing if Satan’s ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Inclosing
for today:
We
understand by scripture there is a spiritual world to be aware of.
Eph.6 [10] Finally, my brethren and sisters, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.[11] Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Wiles - Traveling over, that is, travesty, (trickery): -, lie in wait.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Principalities - chief (in various applications of order, time, place or rank…
Powers - (in the sense of ability); privilege, force, capacity, competency (objectively) mastery (superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: - authority in jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.
Rulers of the darkness - world ruler, an epithet of Satan
Spiritual – (supernatural), wickedness (malice; plots sins - iniquity) in
High places - celestial, in the heavens
[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints…
God
bless all of you… Stay alert, watch and pray
Shabbat Shalom
