שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

 

 

Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.

 

December -- the 10’ month – today the 12’ month J

Middle English decembre
Old French decembre
Latin 
december "tenth month"
Latin decem "ten" + -ber (adj. suffix)

December had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.

 

Today is 12/9/2023

 

Yehovah has His own calendar which is deleted from the world 

We are now in the 9th month called Chislev, day 24 - Zach 7:1 - in English, scripture calls it Chisleu 

 

New moon is coming again:

15th of Dec., next Friday starts Teveth, the 10th month - Esther 2:16 - in English, scripture calls it Tebeth

 

Today’s topic:

Some backup scriptures:

Gen.1

[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said,
Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and
the darkness he called Night.

And the evening and the morning were the first day.

[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And
God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

[17] And God set them (the lights) in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and
over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

 

Pss.27 [1] Yehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Yehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

 

Pss.36

[1] The transgression of the wicked said within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
[2] For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
[3] The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he had left off to be wise, and to do good.
[4] He devisees mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good;
he abhors not evil.

[5] Your mercy, O Yehovah is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reaches unto the clouds.
[6] Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O Yehovah, you preserves’ man and beast.
[7] How excellent is your loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.
[8] They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
[9]
For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
[10] O continue your loving kindness unto them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
[11] Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
[12] There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

 

Pss.37 [6] And he God shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.

 

Pss.43 [3] O send out your light and your truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto your holy hill, and to your tabernacles.

 

Pss.56 [13] For you have delivered my soul from death: wilt not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

 

Pss.89 [15] Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Yehovah, in the light of your countenance.

 

Pss.97 [11] Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

 

Pss.104

[1] Bless Yehovah, O my soul. O Yehovah my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.
[2]
Who covers thyself with light as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain:
[3] Who laid the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:[4] Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

[5] Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
[6] You cover it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

[8] The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endures forever:

[9] The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endures forever.

 

Pss.139

[11] If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. [12] Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you God.

 

Prov.6 [23] For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

 

Prov.13 [9] The light of the righteous rejoices: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

 

Prov.15 [30] The light of the eyes rejoice the heart: and a good report makes the bones fat.

 

Prov.16 [15] In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.

 

Ecc.2 [13] Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

 

Ecc.11 [7] Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

 

Isa.2[5] O house of Jacob, come you, and let us walk in the light of Yehovah.

 

Isa.5[20] Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

[22] Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
[
23] Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
[
24] Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Yehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

 

 

Isa 42

[5] Thus said God Yehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that gives breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
[6] I Yehovah
have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
[7] To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
[8] I am Yehovah: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
[9] Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

[16] And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.

These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

 

Isa 45

[5] I am Yehovah, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me:
[6] That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am Yehovah, and there is none else.
[7]
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil:

I Yehovah do all these things.

 

Isa.49 [6] And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel:

I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

 

Isa.50 [10] Who is among you that fears Yehovah, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and had no light?

Let him trust in the name of Yehovah, and stay upon his God.

[11] Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of mine hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.

 

Isa.51 [4] Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

 

Isa.60

[1] Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of Yehovah is raised upon you.
[2] For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but Yehovah shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.
[3]
And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

[19] The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto you: but Yehovah shall be unto you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.
[20] Your sun shall no more go down; neither shall your moon withdraw itself: for Yehovah shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
[21] Your people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
[22] A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation:

I Yehovah will hasten it in his time.

 

Jer. 31 [35] Thus said Yehovah, which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; Yehovah of hosts is his name:
[36] If those ordinances depart from before me, said Yehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.
[37] Thus said Yehovah; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, said Yehovah.

 

Dan.2 [22] He God reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

 

Mic.7 [8] Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Yehovah shall be a light unto me.

 

John.1

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] The same was in the beginning with God.

[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[4] In him was life; and
the life was the light of men.
[5] And
the light shined in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7] The same came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[8] He was not that Light, but was sent
to bear witness of that Light.
[9]
That was the true Light, which lights every man that cometh into the world.

 

John.3 [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.[20] For every one that doeth evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.[21] But he that does truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

 

John.5 [35] He Yeshua was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

 

John.8 [12] Then spoke Yeshua again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

 

John.9 [5] Yeshua said - As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

 

John.11 [9] Yeshua answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world. [10] But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.

 

Jas.1 [17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

 

1 John 1  [5] This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

 

John 12 [36] While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things spoke Yeshua, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

 

1 Tim.6 [15] Which in his Yeshua’s times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;[16] Who only had immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man had seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

 

1 John 1 [7] if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yeshua the Messiah his Son cleanses us from all sin.

 

Eph.5 [8] For you were sometimes darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of light: [9] (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
[
10] Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

[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.

[13] But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
[14] Wherefore he said, Awake you that sleep and arise from the dead, and Messiah shall give you light.

[15] See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
[
16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

 

1 Thes.5 [5] You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

 

Matt.4 [16] The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

 

Matt.5 [14] You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

 

 

Matt.6 [22] The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. [23] But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!

 

Matt.11 [28] Yeshua said - Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
[29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.
[30] For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.

 

 

Luke 1 [67] And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
[68] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he had visited and redeemed his people,
[69] And had raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
[70] As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
[71] That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
[72] To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
[73] The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
[74] That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
[75] In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
[76] And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
[77] To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
[78] Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high had visited us,
[79]
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
[80] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

 

Luke.2 [32] Yeshua - A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.

 

 

 

In closing for today,

 

There are many other verses; I feel this is enough for now.

 

 

Yeshua said:

John 12 [35] Then Yeshua said unto them,

Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walks in darkness knows not whither he goes.

[36] While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light.

[46] I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Shabbat Shalom
