Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
November -- the ninth month – now it is the 11th month
Middle
English Novembre
Latin November
Latin Novembris mensis "ninth month"
Novembris had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.
Today is Nov. 11, 2023
Yehovah has His own calendar which
is deleted from the world
We are now in the eight month called Bool, day 26
Bool - 1 Kings 6:38 - In English, scripture calls it Bul - Not called Cheshvan or Mar Cheshvan as Judaism states
1Kgs.6 [38] … in the month Bul, which
is the eighth month
Notes:
Chislev - Zach 7:1 - in English, scripture calls it Chisleu
Nov, 16, Thursday - new
moon – 9th month
Today’s topic:
Our
congregation,
is all around the world
In Tennessee, why we attend this congregation?
Tell
me, where is a better, more scriptural congregation?
My wife
and I will go there…
Again, recently I found 2 people that have the wrong version of the bible,
no Sabbath, feasts etc…
They ask me for information on who changed
the Sabbath, the 4th commandment, I send it to them.
NO Response, no more dialogue, it’s over. L
Again, to all the people from the past that left our congregation:
If you
think I am saying something wrong or unscriptural, please come and have
enough God in you to reason with me about that topic you disagree with
me about.
Let’s reason the scriptures together.

I know some people don’t like to reason things out which is unscriptural.
They just run away.
Well,
here is a short study for a short day:
We
attend this congregation because they keep the commandments; have the right
bible version and many other things.

Here are
some verses in Psalms and Proverbs with the word congregation:
Pss.1 [1] Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits
in the seat of the scornful.
[2] But his delight is in the law of Yehovah;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
[4] The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
[5] Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
[6] For Yehovah knows
the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Pss.7 [1] O Yehovah my God,
in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver
me:
[2] Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there
is none to deliver.
[3] O Yehovah my God, if I have done
this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
[4] If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I
have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
[5] Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread
down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honor in the dust. Selah.
[6] Arise, O Yehovah, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
[7] So shall the congregation of the people
compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high.
[8] Yehovah shall
judge the people: judge me, O Yehovah,
according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
[9] Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
Pss.22 [22]
I will declare your name unto my
brethren: in the midst of the congregation will
I praise you.
[25] My praise shall
be of you in the great congregation:
I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
Pss.26 [5] I have hated the congregation of evil doers;
and will not sit with the wicked.
[12] My foot stands in an even place:
in the congregations will I
bless Yehovah.
Pss.35 [18] I will give you
thanks in the great congregation:
I will praise you among much people.
Pss.40 [9] I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Yehovah, You know.
[10] I have not hid your righteousness
within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have
not concealed your loving-kindness and your truth from the great congregation.
Pss.58 [1] Do you indeed
speak righteousness, O congregation? Do you judge uprightly, O you sons of men?
Pss.68 [10] Your congregation had
dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of your goodness for the poor.
[26] Bless you God
in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
Pss.74 [2] Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the
rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you
have dwelt.
[4] Your
enemies roar in the midst of your congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
[19] O deliver not the
soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of
your poor forever.
Pss.75 [2] When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
Pss.82 [1]
God stands in the congregation of the mighty (God); he judges among
the gods.
[2] How long will
you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
[3] Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted
and needy.
[4] Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
[5] They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
[6] I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children
of the most High.
[7] But
you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
[8] Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shall inherit all nations.
Pss.89 [5] … the heavens
shall praise your wonders, O Yehovah: your
faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. בִּקְהַל
קְדֹשִׁים
Pss.107 [32] Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the
elders.

praise Yehovah
with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

Sing
unto Yehovah
a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
Prov.5 [14] I was
almost in all evil in the
midst of the congregation and assembly.
קָהָל
וְעֵדָה
Prov.21 [16] The man / woman that wanders out of the way of
understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
Don’t be a talebearer
רָכִיל
râ-kheel - a scandal monger (as travelling about): - slander, carry tales,
talebearer.
Prov.26 [22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
[23] Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with
silver dross.
[24] He that hates dissembles with his lips, and lays up deceit within
him;
[25] When he speaks fair, believe him not: for there are seven
abominations in his heart.
[26] Whose hatred is covered by deceit,
his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.
Lev.19 [16] You shall
not go up and down as a talebearer among
your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor: I
am Yehovah.
Prov.11 [13] A talebearer reveals
secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.
Prov.18 [8] The words
of a talebearer are as wounds, and they
go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Prov.20 [19] He that goes about as a talebearer reveals
secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flatters with his lips.
Prov.26 [20] Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.
[22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Backbite
רָגַל
râgal: A primitive
root; to walk along;
to be a tale bearer (that is, slander);
to lead about: - backbite,
search, slander, (e-) spy (out)…
Pss.15 [1] Yehovah, who shall abide in your tabernacle?
Who shall dwell in your holy hill?
[2] He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.
[3] He that backbites not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor.
[4] In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honored them that fear Yehovah.
He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.
[5] He that puts not out his money to usury, nor takes reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Prov.25 [23] The north
wind drives away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
Place to eliminate:
Catholic
and Protestantism nor any religions are all places you
should not want to attend.
This
eliminates all churches. (And they say they have the truth, ha)
Then
there is Judaism, no Messiah Yeshua, no
offering for salvation etc….this eliminates synagogues.
Then we
have the Messianic Mess congregations which are all different and don’t agree
with each other, all different doctrines, bible versions etc…. This
eliminates them.
People say all the time, all churches, congregations and
synagogues say they are the only true right one. Which one is right?
Yeshua said:
John 7 [24] Judge not according
to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
In closing for today:
By this small study, you should know where to go to
congregate, and you should know why we attend this congregation
These questions below should be asked:
Who should I believe? Where
should I attend? Which Bible version should I read?
Again, prove all things with
the Word - Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Thessalonians says:
1 Thes. 5 [21] Prove
all things; hold fast that which is good.
Now
you know at least by all these reasons why we are at this congregation.
May Yehovah bless our congregation…
Shabbat Shalom
