Today we use the Gregorian
calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s
Today is November 10, 2018 -
in the 21 Century
November -- the nineth month - now it
is the 11th month
Middle English Novembre
Latin November
Latin Novembris mensis "nineth month"
Novembris had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days
long.
Yehovah has His own calendar:
We are now in the ninth month called Chislev כִסְלֵו
Zech.7 [1] And it
came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Yehovah came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month,
even in Chisleu;

Today’s Topic:
Be ye
separate (from sinners), saith Yehovah
Being separate in many
things, makes us who we are today.
This is an important Godly attribute
First, some Hebrew words:
פָּלָה palah
Meaning: 1) to be distinct, marked out, be separated; be
distinguished, to be set apart
בָּדַל badal
Meaning: 1) to divide, to make a distinction, difference, to
divide into parts, to separate oneself from, to
withdraw from, to separate oneself unto, to be excluded
פָּרַד parad
Meaning: about the same as above
נָזַר nazar
Meaning: 1) to dedicate, consecrate, separate, to dedicate oneself, devote oneself, to keep sacredly separate, to live
as a Nazarite
Let’s read:
Exod.33 [16] For
wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy
sight? is it not in that thou goest
with us? so shall we be
separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face
of the earth.
Lev.15 [31] Thus shall ye separate
the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their
uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
Lev.20 [24] But I have said unto you,
Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land
that floweth with milk and honey: I am Yehovah your God, which have separated you from other people.[25] Ye
shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between
unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast,
or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth
on the ground, which I have separated
from you as unclean.
Num.8 [14] Thus
shalt thou separate
the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall
be mine.
Deut.19 [2] Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land,
which Yehovah thy God giveth
thee to possess it.
Deut.32 [8] When
the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of
Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the
children of Israel.
[9] For Yehovah's portion is his people; Jacob
is the lot of his inheritance.
Deut.33 [1]
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of
God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
[13] And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Yehovah be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for
the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
[14] And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the
precious things put forth by the moon,
[15] And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the
precious things of the lasting hills,
[16] And for the precious things of the earth and fulness
thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was
separated from his brethren.
[17] His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are
like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push
the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of
Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Josh.16 [9] And
the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the
inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
1Kgs.8 Solomon’s prayer [53]
For thou didst separate
them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest
by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest
our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Yehovah.
1Chr.12[1] Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the
son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
[2] They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the
left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's
brethren of Benjamin.
[8]
And of the Gadites there separated themselves
unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for
the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the
faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
1Chr.23 [13] The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was
separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before Yehovah, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for
ever.
1Chr.25 [1] Moreover David and the
captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries,
and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
Ezra.6 [21] And the children of Israel,
which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen
of the land, to seek Yehovah God of Israel, did eat,
Ezra.9 [1] Now when these things were
done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests,
and the Levites, have not separated
themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their
abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites,
the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the
Egyptians, and the Amorites. [2] For they have taken of their daughters for
themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves
with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath
been chief in this trespass.
Ezra.10 [1]
Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed,
weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto
him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for
the people wept very sore.
[3] Now therefore let us make a covenant
with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according
to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our
God; and let it be done according to the law.
[7] And they made proclamation throughout
Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should
gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;[8] And that whosoever would not come
within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all
his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the
congregation of those that had been carried away. [9] Then all the men of Judah and
Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was
the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in
the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the
great rain.
[10] And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have
transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.[11] Now therefore make confession unto Yehovah God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and
separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange
wives. [11]
Now therefore make confession unto Yehovah God of
your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of
the land, and from the strange wives.
[12] Then all the congregation answered and
said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
[13] But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are
not able to stand without, neither is this a work of
one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
[14] Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them
which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with
them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath
of our God for this matter be turned from us.
[15] Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were
employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.[16] And the children of the captivity did
so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of
their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat
down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Neh.9 [2] And
the seed of Israel separated themselves from
all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the
iniquities of their fathers. [3] And they stood up in their place, and read in
the book of the law of Yehovah their God one fourth
part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped Yehovah their God.
Neh.10 [28] And the rest of the people,
the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims,
and all they
that had separated themselves
from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their
sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having
understanding;
Neh.13 [1]
On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and
therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come
into the congregation of God for ever;
[2] Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with
water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our
God turned the curse into a blessing.[3]
Now it came to
pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
Some proverbs:
Prov.16 [28] A froward man soweth strife: and a
whisperer separateth
chief friends.
Prov.17 [9] He that covereth
a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
Prov.18 [1] Through
desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh
and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
Prov.19[4] Wealth maketh
many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
The Prophets
Isa.56 [1]
Thus saith Yehovah, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation
is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
[2] Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth
the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. [3] Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath
joined himself to Yehovah, speak, saying, Yehovah hath utterly separated me from his people: neither
let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
[4] For thus saith
Yehovah unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take
hold of my covenant;
[5] Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place
and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an
everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
[6] Also the sons of the stranger, that
join themselves to Yehovah, to serve him, and to love
the name of Yehovah, to be his servants, every one
that keepeth the sabbath
from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
[7] Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in
my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be
accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for
all people.
Isa.59 [1]
Behold, Yehovah's hand is not shortened, that it
cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:[2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid
his face from you, that he will not hear.
Ezek.14 [1]
Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and
sat before me.
[2] And the word of Yehovah came unto me,
saying,
[3] Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and
put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their
face: should I be inquired of at all by them?
[4] Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith Yehovah Yehovah;
Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols
in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock
of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I Yehovah will answer him that cometh according to the
multitude of his idols;
[5] That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they
are all estranged from me through their idols.
[6] Therefore say unto the house of
Israel, Thus saith Yehovah Yehovah; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and
turn away your faces from all your abominations.
[7] For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me,
and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his
iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning
me; I Yehovah will answer him by myself:
[8] And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign
and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall
know that I am Yehovah.
[9] And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I Yehovah have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out
my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
[10] And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the
punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
[11] That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be
polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my
people, and I may be their God, saith Yehovah Yehovah.
Read these chapters yourself
Ezek.41 the separate place
Ezek.42 the separate place
Hos.4 [6] My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
[14]
I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom,
nor your spouses when they commit adultery:
for themselves are separated with whores, and
they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand
shall fall.
Hos.9 …separated themselves unto that shame; and
their abominations were according as they loved.
Now a few Gospels and letters:
Matt.25 - Messiah Yeshua
[31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the
holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
[32]
And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth
his sheep from the goats:
[34] Then shall the King say unto them
on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world:
[35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me
meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee
an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
[38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee?
[39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
[40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have
done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them
on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared
for the devil and his angels:
[42]
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me
not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
[44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
[45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily
I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did
it not to me.
[46] And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment:
but the righteous into life eternal.
Luke.6 [22] Blessed are ye, when men
shall hate you, and when they shall separate
you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your
name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. [23] Rejoice ye in that day, and leap
for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner
did their fathers unto the prophets.
Rom.1 [1] Paul, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, called to be an apostle, separated
unto the gospel of God,
[2] (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy
scriptures,)
[3] Concerning his Son Yeshua the Messiah our
Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
[4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the
spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
[5] By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the
faith among all nations, for his name:
[6] Among whom are ye also the called of Yeshua
the Messiah:
[7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace
to you and peace from God our Father, and Yehovah Yeshua the Messiah.
Rom.8 [35] Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword? [36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day
long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
that loved us.
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
2Cor.6 [14]
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness?
[15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or
what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
[16] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I
will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall
be my people.
[17] Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith
Yehovah, and touch not the unclean thing;
and I will receive you,
[18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, saith Yehovah
Almighty.
Heb.7 [26] Messiah Yeshua
- For such an high priest (He) became (for)
us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate
from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; [27] Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up
sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did
once, when He
offered up Himself.
Jude [17]
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of
our Lord Yeshua the Messiah;[18] How that they
told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their
own ungodly lusts. [19] These be
they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
[20] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your
most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
[21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our
Lord Yeshua the Messiah unto eternal life.
[22] And of some have compassion, making a difference:
[23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating
even the garment spotted by the flesh.
[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present
you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
[25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be
glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
2John.1 [10] If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: [11] For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil
deeds.
Rom.16 [17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Eph.5 [11] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
2Thes.3 [14] And if any man (a brother) obey
not our word by this epistle , note that man, and have no company with him,
that he may be ashamed.
[15] Yet count him not as an enemy, but
admonish him as a brother.
So we can see you can be separated unto good or
evil, one or the other
