Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is December 7, 2013
December -- the tenth month – Now it is
the 12th month
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.
------------------
Yehovah has His own calendar
We are now in the 10th month called Tevethטֵבֵת , 3rd day
Esth.2[16] So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, טֵבֵת , in the seventh year of his reign.

Today's Topic:
Please tell me the truth
The point of this study is to show America was not
founded on the principals of the God of Israel and the bible.
“Tis the season to be pagan” is already around us!
I am reminded always to inform you to beware of the false image of love, false emotions, loneliness, depression, financial drain, suicide and the artificial false festival lights they put up.
Satan really sets the stage for you.
Beware if you feel or hear a voice telling you to separate yourself from the congregation, go off on your own and read or whatever.

Here are some made up
December Holidays.
Notice, no Feasts of Yehovah
and the bible are below.
Please notice, many of the made-up feasts are Catholic.
Winter solstice and
Observances
Advent: four weeks prior to Christ’s mass (Western
Christianity).
Saint Nicholas' Day: 6 December
Bodhi Day: 8 December - Day of Enlightenment, celebrating the day that the historical Buddha (Shakyamuni
or Siddhartha Gautama) experienced enlightenment (also known as Bodhi).

Winter Solstice: 21 December-22 December - midwinter
Dongzhi
Festival - a celebration of Winter
Soyal: 21 December - Zuni and Hopi
----------------
Yalda: 21 December - The turning point, Winter Solstice. As the longest night of the year and
the beginning of the lengthening of days, Shabe Yaldā or Shabe Chelle
is an Iranian festival celebrating the victory of
light and goodness over darkness and evil.
Shabe yalda means 'birthday eve.' According to Persian mythology, Mithra was born at dawn on the 22nd of
December to a virgin mother.
He symbolizes light, truth, goodness, strength, and friendship.
Herodotus reports that this was the most important holiday of the year for
contemporary Persians.
In modern times Persians celebrate Yalda by staying up late or
all night, a practice known as Shab Chera meaning 'night
gazing'. Fruits and nuts are eaten, especially pomegranates and watermelons,
whose red color invokes the crimson hues of dawn and symbolize Mithra.

Commandment
for a King of Israel
Deuteronomy 17:
"15": Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom Yehovah 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 Yehovah 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 (Torah) הַתּוֹרָה
"19": And it shall be with him, and
he shall read therein all the days of his life : that he may learn to
fear Yehovah 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.
That’s over, sad…

"This people will rise up, and go a
whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land"
Deut. 31
[17] Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day,
and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they
shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they
will say in that day. Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not
among us?
[18] And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the
evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
[19] Now therefore write ye
this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths,
that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
[20] For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth
with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen
fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and
break my covenant.
[21] And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are
befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it
shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their
imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the
land which I sware.
[22] Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the
children of Israel.
[27] For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold,
while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against
Yehovah; and how much more after my death?
[28] Gather unto me all the elders of your
tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call
heaven and earth to record against them.
[29] For I know that after my death ye will
utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded
you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will
do evil in the sight of Yehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work
of your hands.
[30] And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the
words of this song, until they were ended.

Judg. 2 [12] And they forsook Yehovah God of
their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed
other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed
themselves unto them, and provoked Yehovah to anger. [13] And they
forsook Yehovah, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
Judg. 10 [6] And the
children of Israel did evil again in the sight of Yehovah, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and
the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the
gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon,
and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook Yehovah, and served not him.

"No king"
*** No
king means no copy of the (Torah) law to read and follow***
Deut.17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law (Torah)
הַתּוֹרָה
"19": And it shall be with him, and
he shall read therein all the days of his life : that he may learn to
fear Yehovah 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.
---------------
Judges, chapter 17:
"2": And he said unto his mother, The
eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also
in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of Yehovah, my son.
"3": And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to
his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto Yehovah
from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now
therefore I will restore it unto thee.
"4": Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took
two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a
graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
"5": And the man Micah had an house of gods,
and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of
his sons, who became his priest.
6: In those days there was "no king"
in Israel, but every man did that which was right
in his own eyes.

David - The year of 2884
Solomon -
The year of 2924
[1] And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the
building of the house of Yehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's
desire which he was pleased to do,
[2] That Yehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared
unto him at Gibeon.
[3] And Yehovah said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have
hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there
perpetually.
[4] And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have
commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
[5] Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for
ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a
man upon the throne of Israel.
[6] But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children,
and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you,
but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
[7] Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them;
and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight;
and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
[8] And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth
by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath Yehovah
done thus unto this land, and to this house?
[9 ]
And they shall answer, Because they forsook Yehovah
their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt,
and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them:
therefore hath Yehovah brought upon them all this evil.
--------------
[1] But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with
the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites,
Zidonians, and Hittites;
[2] Of the nations concerning which Yehovah said unto the children of Israel,
Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely
they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in
love.
[3] And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three
hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
[4] For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his
heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with Yehovah his God, as
was the heart of David his father.
[5] For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
and after Milcom the abomination of the
Ammonites.
[6] And Solomon did evil in the sight of Yehovah, and went not fully after
Yehovah, as did David his father.
[7] Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is
before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the
children of Ammon.
[8] And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which
burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
[9] And Yehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned
from Yehovah God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
[10] And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after
other gods: but he kept not that which Yehovah commanded.
[11] Wherefore Yehovah said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee,
and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded
thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy
servant.
[12] Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake:
but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
[13] Howbeit I will not rend away all the
kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and
for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
[15] For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the
slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
[16] (For six months did Joab remain there
with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
[17] That Hadad fled, he
and certain Edomites of his father's servants
with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
[18] And they arose out of Midian, and came
to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed
him victuals, and gave him land.
[19] And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to
wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes
the queen.
[20] And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes
weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in
Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
[21] And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David
slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain
of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me
depart, that I may go to mine own country.
[22] Then Pharaoh said unto him, But
what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest
to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing:
howbeit let me go in any wise.
[23] And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon
the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
[24] And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when
David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus,
and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
[25] And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside
the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel,
and reigned over Syria.
[26] And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's
servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.
[27] And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king:
Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of
the city of David his father.
[28] And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour:
and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler
over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
[29] And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of
Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite
found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two
were alone in the field:
[30] And Ahijah caught the new garment that
was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
[31] And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee
ten pieces: for thus saith Yehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the
kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
[32] (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake,
and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of
Israel:)
[33] Because that they have forsaken me,
and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom
the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my
ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my
judgments, as did David his father.
[34] Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand:
but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's
sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
[35] But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it
unto thee, even ten tribes.
[36] And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may
have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the
city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
[37] And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that
thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over
Israel.
[38] And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee,
and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes
and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and
build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
[39] And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
[40] Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam
arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of
Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
[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?
[42] And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was
forty years.
[43] And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of
David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his
stead.
--------------
1Kgs.12 [8] But he (Rehoboam) forsook the counsel of
the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young
men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
[13] And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook
the old men's counsel that they gave him;
--------------
[20] And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, as his
father Manasseh did.
[21] And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and
served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
[22 ] And he
forsook Yehovah God of his fathers , and walked not in the way of Yehovah.

2 Chronicles 15: Asa, good
"1": And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah
the son of Oded:
"2": And he went out to meet Asa,
and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all
Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek
him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Now for a long season Israel hath been

***
Approx. 273 years apart - Asa and Josiah
I have found the book of the law (Torah) סֵפֶר
הַתּוֹרָה in the
house of Yehovah"
2 Kgs. 22 - Josiah, good
[2] And he did that which was right in the sight of Yehovah ,
and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the
right hand or to the left.
[3] And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah , that the king
sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah,
the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house
of Yehovah, saying,
[4] Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he
may sum the silver which is brought into the house of Yehovah, which the
keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
[5] And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have
the oversight of the house of Yehovah: and let them give it to the doers of the
work which is in the house of Yehovah, to repair the breaches of the house,
[6] Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone
to repair the house.
[7] Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was
delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
[8] And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found
the book of the law (Torah) סֵפֶר
הַתּוֹרָה in the
house of Yehovah. And Hilkiah gave the
book to Shaphan, and he read it.
[9] And Shaphan the scribe came to the
king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the
money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them
that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of Yehovah.
[10] And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah
the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan
read it before the king.
[11] And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the
law, that he rent his clothes.
[12] And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan,
and Achbor the son of Michaiah,
and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah
a servant of the king's, saying,
[13] Go ye, inquire of Yehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah,
concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of
Yehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto
the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written
concerning us.
[14] So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went
unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum
the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in
Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
[15] And she said unto them, Thus saith Yehovah God of Israel, Tell the man
that sent you to me,
[16] Thus saith Yehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon
the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah
hath read:
[17] Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods,
that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands;
therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be
quenched.
[18] But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of Yehovah, thus shall
ye say to him, Thus saith Yehovah God of Israel, As touching the words which
thou hast heard;
[19] Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before
Yehovah, when thou heardest what I spake against this
place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a
desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also
have heard thee, saith Yehovah.
[20] Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be
gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil
which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
same story in:
2 Chr. 34 [15 ] And Hilkiah answered
and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found
