Today is May 2, 2020 – in the 21 century
May -- Maia's month
Old French Mai
Old English Maius
Latin Maius "of Maia"
Latin Maius mensis
"month of Maia"
Maius has always had 31 days.
Maia (meaning "the great one") is the Italic
goddess of spring, the daughter of Faunus, and wife of Vulcan.
We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar:
We are now in the 2nd month called Ziv –
day 8
1Kgs.6[1] And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after
the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year
of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which
is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yehovah.
The 2nd month is not Iyyar (made
– up) as Judaism states;
it is Ziv as scriptures states.
It is now the 3rd Sabbath of the 7 Sabbaths we were told to count.
We are on our way to the Feast of Weeks. How are you doing?
Today’s Topic:
Life is a short journey,
Fear God
Beware of sin!
Ecc.9 [18] Wisdom is better than weapons
of war: but one sinner destroys much
good.
Num. 32 [23] …you
have sinned against Yehovah: and be sure
your sin will find you out.
Scripture says of our time
here:
Pss.90
[10] The
days of our years are threescore years and
ten 70; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore
years 80, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it
is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Job 7
[7] O remember that my life
is wind…
[8] The eye of him that
hath seen me shall see me no more: your eyes are upon me, and I am not.
[9] As the cloud is
consumed and vanishes away: so
he that goes down
to the grave shall come up no more.
[10] He shall return
no more to his house; neither shall his place know him any more
Job 8
[9] For we are but of
yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow…
Pss.90
[9] For
all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend
our years as a tale that is told.
[12] So teach us to
number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
[14] O satisfy us
early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be
glad all our days.
Jas. 4
[13] Go
to now, you that say, today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue
there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
[14] Whereas
you know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life? It is even
a vapor,
that appears for
a little time, and then vanishes away.
Matt.6
Yeshua said:
[25] Therefore I say unto
you, Take no thought for your life, what you
shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put
on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
[26] Behold the fowls of
the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much better than they?
[27] Which of you by taking
thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
[28] And why take you
thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil
not, neither do they spin:
[29] And yet I say unto
you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
[30] Wherefore, if God so
clothe the grass of the field, which today is,
and tomorrow is
cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
[31] Therefore
take no thought, saying, what shall
we eat? Or, what
shall we drink? Or,
Wherewithal shall we be cloth?
[32] (For after all these
things do the Gentiles seek :) for
your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
[33] But seek you first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you.
[34] Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof.
Prov.15 [24] the way
of life is above to the wise
that he may depart from hell beneath.
Col.3 - Saul says:
[1] If you then be raised with
Messiah, seek those things which are above, where Messiah sits on the right hand of God.
[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
[3] For you are dead, and your life is hid with Messiah in God.
[4] When Messiah, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you
also appear with him in glory.
1Chr.29 … our
days on the earth are as a shadow…
Heb.9 [27] And as it is
appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment…
A short review of Ecclesiastes:
From Late Latin - Greek ekklēsiastḗs - assemblyman, preacher
Ecclesiastic - noun - a
member of the clergy or other person in religious orders
c.1300 – A name given to
one of the Old Testament books / TaNaKh, traditionally ascribed to
Solomon, from Greek ekklesiastes
(see ecclesiastic), to
render Hebrew qoheleth "one who
addresses an assembly," from qahal "an assembly."
The title is technically the designation of the speaker, but that
word throughout is usually rendered into English as "The
Preacher".
קֹהֶלֶת - preacher
הֲבֵל
הֲבָלִים
Vanity of vanities
הָבַל
hâval - A primitive root; to be vain in act, word, or expectation; specifically to lead
astray: - be (become, make) vain.
Ecc. 1:
2 - Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher / Koheleth; vanity
of vanities, all is vanity.
הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים
אָמַר קֹהֶלֶת,
הֲבֵל
הֲבָלִים
הַכֹּל הָבֶל
[4] One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the
earth (seems like it) abides forever.
[11] There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there
be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
[12] I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. Solomon
[13] And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom
concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God
given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
[14] I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and,
behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
[15] That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which
is wanting cannot be numbered.
[16] I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to
great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before
me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
[17] And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and
folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
[18] For in much wisdom is much grief:
and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 2:
[15] Then said I in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me; and why was I then more wise?
Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
[16] For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool
for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten.
And how dies the
wise man? As the
fool…
[17] Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought
under the sun is grievous unto
me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
[18] Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it
unto the man that shall be after me.
[19] And who knows whether
he shall be a wise man or a fool? Yet shall
he have rule over all my labor wherein
I have labored, and
wherein I have showed myself
wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
[24] There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and
drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
[26] For God gives to a
man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy:
but to
the sinner he gives travail,
to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This
also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc.3 [1] To everything there
is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
[2] A time to be
born, and a time to die… and all the rest
[18] I said in mine heart
concerning the estate of the sons of men that God
might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
[19] For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the
other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a
beast: for all is vanity.
[20] All go unto one place;
all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
[21] Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that gosh downward to the earth?
[22] Wherefore I perceive
that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works;
for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after
him?
Ecc.6
[1] There is an evil which
I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
[2] A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wants nothing
for his soul of all that he desire, yet
God gives him
not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eats it: this is vanity, and it is
an evil disease.
[3] If a man beget an
hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many,
and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say,
that an untimely birth is better than he.
[4] For he comes in with vanity, and departs in darkness, and his name shall be covered
with darkness.
[5] Moreover he hath not
seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
[6] Yea, though he lives a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not
all go to one place? – The grave
Ecc.7
[1] A
good name is better than precious ointment; and the day
of death than the day of one's birth.
[2] It is better to go to
the house of mourning, than to go to the house
of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the
living will lay it
to his heart.
[18] It is good that you should take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not your hand: for he that fears God
shall come forth of them all.
Ecc.8
[1] Who is as the wise
man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his
face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
[2] I counsel thee to keep
the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
[3] Be not hasty to go out
of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth
whatsoever pleases him.
[4] Where the word of a
king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What are
you doing?
[5] Whoso keeps the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's
heart discerns both
time and judgment.
[6] Because to every
purpose there is time and judgment,
therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
[7] For he knows not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall
be?
[8] There is no man that
hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the
day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness
deliver those that are given to it.
[10] And so I saw
the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they
were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
[11] Because sentence
against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons
of men is fully set in them to do evil.
[12] Though a sinner do
evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged,
Yet surely
I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
[13] But it shall
not be well with the wicked; neither
shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he fears not before God.
[15] Then I
commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat,
and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labor the days of his life, which God gives him under the sun.
Ecc. 9:
[2] All things come alike to all: there
is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the
clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifices not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and
he that swears, as he
that fears an
oath.
[4] For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for
a living dog is better than a dead lion.
[5] For the living
knows 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 forever in anything that is done under the sun.
[7] Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a
merry heart; for God now accepts thy
works.
[8] Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no
ointment.
[9] Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given
thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this
life, and in thy labor which
you take under
the sun.
[10] Whatsoever thy hand finds to do, do it with thy might; for
there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave,
whither you go.
[11] I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to
the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet
riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.
[12] For man also knows
not his time:
As the
fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the
snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when
it falls suddenly
upon them.
Ecc. 12
[1] Remember now thy
Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years
draw nigh, when you shall say,
I have no pleasure in them;
[2] While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened,
nor the clouds return after the rain:
[3] In the day when the
keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves,
and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the
windows be darkened,
[4] And the doors shall be
shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise
up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
[5] Also when they shall be
afraid of that, which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond
tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall
fail:
Because man goes to his long home, and the mourners go about
the streets:
[6] Or ever the silver cord
be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the
fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
[7] Then shall the dust
return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave
it.
[8] Vanity of
vanities, says the
preacher; all is vanity.
[9] And moreover, because
the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good
heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
[10] The preacher sought to
find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words
of truth.
[11] The words of the wise
are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are
given from one shepherd.
[12] And further, by these,
my son,(and daughter) be
admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness
of the flesh.
[13] Let us hear the
conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man.
[14] For God shall bring
every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
A short
review of some books mentioned in the
Scriptures, we don't have today
Num. 21 [14] Wherefore it is said in the book of
the wars of Yehovah, What he
did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
Josh. 10 [13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the
people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So
the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a
whole day.
2 Sam. 1 [18] Also he bade them teach the children
of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book
of Jasher.
1Kgs.11 [41] And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and
his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of
Solomon? ;
1 Chr.29 [29] Now the acts of David the king, first and last,
behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and
in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer…
2 Chr.9 [ 29] Now the
rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the
book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and
in the visions of Iddo the
seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat ?
2 Chr.12 [15] Now the acts of Rehoboam, first
and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the
prophet, and of Iddo the
seer concerning genealogies? And there
were wars between Rehoboam and
Jeroboam continually.
2 Chr.20 [34] Now the rest of the acts of
Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of
Jehu the son of Hanani, who is
mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
Ezra.4 [15] that search may be made in the book of the
records of thy fathers: so shall thou find in the book of the records, and know
that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and
that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was
this city destroyed.
Notice, in the letter from Jude:
Jude 1 [14] And Enoch also, the
seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord Yeshua comes with
ten thousands of his saints,
(The letters never says “a book of Enoch”)
In closing for now:
The Bible’s nomenclature is wrong.
Nomenclature (A system of names assigned
to objects or items in a particular way)
The TaNaKh, pseudo
– Christians call the Old Testament and
the Gospels and letters they call the New Testament, which
is wrong, therefore causing many problems.
My thoughts on this are that the TaNaKh and
the Gospels and letters should have never been put together as one book.
For whatever reason, we never see dates in the Gospels and
letters.
Time seems to just getaway. It makes it hard to be exact in dating
anything.
We can just see only a small assortment of places for believers to
attend.
In the Gospels and letters the word Yehovah is
totally missing, even in the Greek.
There are no exact ages of most people in the Gospels and letters.
There is no mention of the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD and
it seems that all the letters and Revelation must have been written before the
destruction or they would have mentioned it.
Just food for thought…
***Make sure you change your Judaism, messianic calendars – The 2nd month
