Question:
Why are we here today?
Answer:
We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep
it holy
----------
The 4th Commandment is a part of the
covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
We read from law and the prophets every
Sabbath.
60 times in the Gospels and letters it uses
the word Sabbath
Ex. 20 [8] Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

back to Ex. 20
[9] Six days shalt thou
labour, and do all thy
work:
[10] But the seventh day
is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore
the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Rev.1
[10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day - (The Sabbath)

Adding and diminishing from the Word
of God causes all the problems

not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish
ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I
command you.

Doctor: 'To the outside observer,

Beware of the false image of love and
the false feelings and emotions that run wild this time of the year.
Made-up feasts bring on loneliness,
depression and suicide and oh yes, debt.
Many different places and religions are
having classes at their facilities to address these issues above.
[37] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[38] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their
garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the
borders a ribband of blue:
[39] And it shall be unto you for a
fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the
LORD, and do them;
and that ye seek not after your own heart
and your own eyes, after which
ye use to go a whoring:
[40] That ye may remember, and do
all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
[41] I am the LORD your God, which
brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.

God’s Elections
Question - What was a job of a King of
Israel?
Deut. 17
[14] When thou art come unto the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell
therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that
are about me;
[15] Thou shalt
in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy
God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt
thou set king over thee: thou mayest
not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
[16] But he shall not multiply horses to himself,
nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply
horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye
shall henceforth return no more that way.
[17] Neither shall he multiply wives to
himself, that his heart turn not
away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
[18] And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write
him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the
Levites:
[19] And it shall be with him, and he
shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD
his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
[20] That his heart be
not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the
commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong
his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
------------------
Judg.17
[6] In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that
which was right in his own eyes.
------------------
Where did they
go wrong? Right here -
They say, “Make
us a king to judge us like all the nations
1 Sam. 8
[1] And it came to pass, when Samuel was
old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
[2] Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
[3] And his sons walked not in his ways,
but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
[4] Then all
the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to
Samuel unto Ramah,
[5] And said unto him, Behold, thou art
old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us
a king to judge us like all the nations.
[6] But the thing displeased Samuel, when
they said, Give us a king
to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto Yehovah.
[7] And Yehovah said unto Samuel, Hearken unto
the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me,
that I should not reign over them.
[8] According to all the works which they
have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day,
wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto
thee.
[9] Now therefore hearken unto their
voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over
them.
[10] And Samuel told all the words of the
LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
[11] And he said, This
will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your
sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen;
and some shall run before his chariots.
[12] And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over
fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to
reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his
chariots.
[13] And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks,
and to be bakers.
[14] And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his
servants.
[15] And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give
to his officers, and to his servants.
[16] And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your
goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
[17] He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
[18] And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have
chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
[19] Nevertheless the people refused to
obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we
will have a king over us;
[20] That we
also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us,
and go out before us, and fight our battles.
[21] And Samuel heard all the words of the
people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
[22]
And Yehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice,
and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man
unto his city.
-------------------
God says "don't be like
all the nations:
Jer.10[ 2] Thus saith
the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and
be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. [3 ] For the customs of the
people are vain: for one cutteth a tree
out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. [ 4] They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten
it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer.6[16] Thus saith the
LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the
old paths , where is the good
way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein . ( like most of the
world today )
Jer.18[ 15] Because my people hath forgotten me,
they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in
their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths , in a way not cast
up;[16 ] To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one
that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his
head.
-------------------
All things of God are replaced by
paganism acts
God told us about clean and unclean foods - Now
people eat and drink anything.
Holydays and Feasts of the Lord are replaced by
all the pagan feasts and traditions of the world.
God's calendar is replaced by Pope Greg's
calendar.
New moon is not talked about any more except in
Wiccan pagan circles.
God's Sabbath, the 7th day is replaced by the 1st
day of the week known as Sunday – from when they use to worship the sun.
Consider these words below:
The words below are from the Book of Lamentations chapters 1 to 5 -
They can be applied exactly to our day in 2009
http://oneinmessiah.net/OurDay2009.htm
Consider... as they were, so are we today – Dec. 2009
We are in captivity
We dwell among the heathen (nations)
None come to the solemn feasts
The Sabbaths are mocked
The heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom
thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
All have transgressed and rebelled against His commandment
He hath violently taken away his tabernacle (His Presence is gone)
The law (Torah) is no more
Prophets find no vision from the LORD
The prophets have seen vain and foolish things
For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests,
that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her
They (we) have polluted themselves with blood
Depart ye; it is unclean;
depart, depart, touch
not
Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their
iniquities
Woe unto us that we have sinned!
Thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
---------------------
In every generation, I believe, there are always a few chosen
people of God that try to restore God's laws, commandments and feasts before He
comes back.
---------------------
We are to be
judges, priests and Kings now
Exod.
19 [6] And ye shall
be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words
which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Pet. 2 [9] But ye are a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
[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.

All we need are the Scriptures for
truth, correction, righteous judgment, faith, encouragement and so on. We do
not need made-up feasts or holidays to feel good.
We are told who to follow in
scripture, Yeshua, the apostles and Paul all observed these holy days of God in
scripture, not made-up holidays. Read some verses below,
Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread,
Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks - Pentecost in the
gospels and letters
Passover
Messiah our Passover
Matt
26 [2] Ye know that
after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be
crucified.
[17] Now the first
day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto
him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
[18] And he said,
Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
[19] And the
disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
Mark
14 [1] After two days was the feast of the passover,
and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes
sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
[12] And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that
we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
[14] And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye
to the goodman of the house,
The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber,
where I shall eat the passover
with my disciples?
[16] And his
disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto
them: and they made ready the passover.
Luke
2 [41] Now his parents went to Jerusalem
every year at the feast of the passover.
Luke
22 [1] Now the feast
of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the passover.
[7] Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover
must be killed.
[8] And he sent
Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we
may eat.
[11] And ye shall
say unto the goodman of the
house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
[13] And they went,
and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
[15] And he said
unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you
before I suffer:
John
2 [13] And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
[23] Now when he
was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many
believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
John
6 [4] And the passover, a feast of
the Jews, was nigh.
John
11 [55] And the Jews' passover was nigh
at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.
John
12 [1] Then Jesus six days before the passover
came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.
John
13 [1] Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus
knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the
Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the
end.
John
18 [28] Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas
unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into
the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
[39] But ye have a
custom, that I should release unto you one at the passo
ver: will ye therefore that I release unto you the
King of the Jews?
John
19 [14] And it was
the preparation of the passover,
and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews,
Behold your King!
1
Cor. 5 [7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new
lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Messiah /
Christ our passover
is sacrificed for us:
Heb.
11 [28] Through
faith he kept the passover,
and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch
them.
-------------
Feast of unleavened bread
Matt.
26 [17] Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came
to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Mark
14 [1] After two days was the feast of the passover,
and of unleavened bread: and the chief
priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to
death.
[12] And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed
the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou
that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
Luke 22 [1] Now the feast of
unleavened bread drew nigh, which is
called the Passover.
[7] Then came the
day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
Acts
12 [3] And because
he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Acts
20 [6] And we sailed away from Philippi after
the days of unleavened bread, and came
unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
1
Cor. 5 [7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye
may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Messiah / Christ our passover
is sacrificed for us:
[8] Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.
-----------------
Firstfruits
Messiah the firstfruits
Rom.
8 [23] And not only they, but ourselves
also, which have the firstfruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Rom.
16 [5] Likewise greet the church that is in
their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
1
Cor. 15 [20] But now is
Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
[23] But every man
in his own order: Messiah / Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Messiah /
Christ's at his coming.
1
Cor. 16 [15] I beseech you,
brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is
the firstfruits
of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the
saints,)
Jas.
1 [18] Of his own
will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his
creatures.
Rev.
14 [4] These are
they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they
which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These
were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
------------------
Feasts of weeks - Pentecost
Acts
2 [1] And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were
all with one accord in one place.
Acts 20 [16]
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time
in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him,
to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
1
Cor. 16 [8] But I will
tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
----------
In conclusion,
Stay away from lies and made-up feasts
and holidays.
Shabbat Shalom
