Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the
1500’s,
The date is February 12, 2022
February -- month of Februa
Latin dies februatus "day
of purification"
Februarius had 28 days, until circa 450 BC when it had 23 or 24 days on
some of every second year, until Julius when it
had 29 days on every fourth year and 28 days otherwise.
Februa is the Roman festival of purification held
on February fifteenth.
Intercalaris -- inter-calendar month
Latin Intercalaris "inter-calendar"
Intercalaris had 27 days until the month was abolished by Julius.
God has His own Calendar:
We are now in the 12th month of God called Adar, day 10
Esth.3 [7] …12th month Adar אֲדָר

We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath like they did in
the Book of Acts 13 [15] … after
the reading of the law and the prophets…
As Yeshua said it:
Luke 24 [44] And Yeshua said unto them, These are the words which
I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
the law of Moses (not used by most churches today)
the prophets (not used by most churches today)
The Word of God - Torah,
Prophets and Writings
Ta Na K is an acronym for:
T = Torah (law, teachings) - first 5 books of Moses
N = Navi' eem or prophets (pl. sounds like - Na vi eem)
K = Ke'tuvim or writings (psalms etc.)
Next week we shall read the
story of Purim (Lord willing)

Pride and Humble
I will start with “Humble”,
a few words in the Hebrew and Greek

humble (self), hurt, ravish, submit self...

into subjection, under, humble (self), subdue.

Pss.9 [11] Sing praises to Yehovah,
which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his
doings. [12] When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers
them: God forgets not the cry of the humble.
Pss.10 [1] Why stand you afar off, O Yehovah?
Why hid you yourself in times of trouble?
[2] The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor:
let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
[3] For the wicked boast of his heart's desire, and
blesses the covetous, whom Yehovah
abhors.
[4] The wicked, through the pride of his countenance,
will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
[5] His ways are always grievous,
your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs
at them.
[6] He had said in his heart, I shall not be moved:
for I shall never be in adversity.
[7] His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and
fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
[8] He sits in the lurking places of the villages:
in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
[9] He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den:
he lies in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draws him
into his net.
[10] He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor
may fall by his strong ones.
[11] He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:
he hides his face; he will never see it.
[12] Arise, O Yehovah; O
God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
[13] Wherefore did the wicked contemn God? He had
said in his heart, You will not require it.
[14] You have seen it; for you behold mischief and
spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor commits himself
unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
[15] Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil
man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
[16] Yehovah is King forever
and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
[17] Yehovah you have
heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will
cause your ear to hear:[18] To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that
the man of the earth may no more oppress.
Pss.34 [2] My soul shall make her boast in Yehovah:
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Pss.35 [13] …as for me,
when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul
with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Pss.69 [32] The humble shall see this, and be glad: and
your heart shall live that seek God.
Pss. 113 [1] Praise Yah.
Praise, O ye servants of Yehovah, praise the name of Yehovah.
[2] Blessed be the name of Yehovah from
this time forth and for evermore.
[3] From the rising of the sun unto the going down
of the same Yehovah’s
name is to be praised.
[4] Yehovah is high above all nations, and his glory above the
heavens.
[5] Who is like unto Yehovah our God, who dwells on
high,
[6] Who humbles himself to behold the things that
are in heaven, and in the earth!
[7] He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts
the needy out of the dunghill;
[8] That he may set him with princes, even with the
princes of his people.
[9] He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to
be a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah.
Prov.6 [3] Do this now, my son, deliver thyself, when you art come into
the hand of your friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure your
friend.
Prov.16 [19] Better it is to
be of an humble spirit with the
lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Matt.18 [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as
this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matt.23 [12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he
that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Luke.18 [9] And Yeshua spoke this
parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and
despised others:
[10] Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one
a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
[11] The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
[12] I fast twice in the week,
I give tithes of all that I possess.
[13] And the publican, standing afar off, would not
lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God
be merciful to me a sinner.
[14] I tell you, this man went down to
his house justified rather than the other: for
every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he
that humbles himself shall
be exalted.
Phil.2 [1] If there be therefore any consolation in Messiah,
if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and
mercies,
[2] Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having
the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
[3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
[4] Look not every man on his own things, but every
man also on the things of others.
[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Messiah
Yeshua:
[6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God:
[7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon
him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[8] And being found in fashion as a man, Yeshua humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross.
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
given him a name which is above every name:
[10] That at the name of Yeshua
every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
under the earth;
[11] And that every tongue should confess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Col.3 [12] Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one
another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even
as Messiah forgave you, so also do ye.
[14] And above all these things put on charity, which
is the bond of perfectness.
[15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to
the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye
thankful.
Jas.4 [4] Ye adulterers and
adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the
world is the enemy of God.
[5] Do ye think that the scripture said in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?
[6] But he gives more grace.
Wherefore he
said, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.
[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
[8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
[10] Humble yourselves in the
sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
1Pet.5 [5] Likewise, ye
younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to
another, and be clothed with humility: for
God resisteth the proud, and giveth
grace to the humble.
[6] Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
[7] Casting all your care upon God; for he cares for
you.
[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
[9] Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that
the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Mark.7 [21] For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed
evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,[22] Thefts,
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy,
pride, foolishness:
[23]
All these evil things come from
within, and defile the man.
The scriptures talk about:
the pride of Assyria
for the pride of Jordan
the pride of the Philistines
The pride of your heart
the pride of Israel
the pride of Judah
the pride of Moab
the pride of evil men
the pride of man
Lev. 26 read the whole chapter if you get a chance…
[18] And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I
will punish you seven times more for your sins.
[19] And I will break the pride of your power;
and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as
brass:[20] And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land
shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their
fruits.
Pss.10 [2] The wicked in his pride doth
persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
[4] The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his
thoughts.
Pss.31 [19] Oh how great is your goodness, which you have
laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you
before the sons of men! [20]
You shall hide them in the secret of Your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of
tongues.
Pss.36 [11] Let not the foot of pride come against me,
and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
Pss.59 [1] Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend
me from them that rise up against me.
[12] For the sin of their mouth and the
words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying
which they speak.
Pss.73 [1] Truly God is good to Israel, even
to such as are of a clean heart.
[2] But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my
steps had well nigh slipped.
[3] For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the
prosperity of the wicked.
[4] For there are no bands in their death: but their
strength is firm.
[5] They are not in trouble as other men; neither
are they plagued like other men.
[6] Therefore pride compasses them
about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
[7] Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have
more than heart could wish.
[8] They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning
oppression: they speak loftily.
[9] They set their mouth against the heavens, and
their tongue walketh through the earth.
[11] And they say, how doth God know? And is there knowledge in the most High?
[12] Behold, these
are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
[27] For, lo, they that are far from you shall
perish: You have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
Prov.8 [13] The fear of Yehovah
is to
hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward
mouth, do I hate.
Prov.11 [2] When pride comes, then comes shame: but
with the lowly is wisdom.
Prov.13 [10] Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
Prov.14 [3] In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the
wise shall preserve them.
Prov.16 [18] Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Prov.29 [23] A man's pride shall
bring him low: but honor shall uphold the
humble in spirit.

Thus said
the Lord Yehovah concerning Edom;

heard a rumor from Yehovah, and an ambassador is sent
among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
[2] Behold, I have made you small among the heathen: thou art
greatly despised.
[3] The pride of your heart hath deceived thee, you that dwell
in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that said in his heart, who

you set thy nest among the stars, thence
will I bring you down, said Yehovah.

hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

that be swift in running to mischief,
[19] A false witness that speaks lies, and he that
sows discord among brethren.
Prov.15 [25] Yehovah will destroy the house of the proud:
but he will establish the border of the widow.
Prov.16 [5] Every one that is proud in heart is an
abomination to Yehovah: though hand join in hand, he
shall not be unpunished.
[19] Better it is to be of an
humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

plowing of the wicked, is sin.
[24] Proud and haughty scorner is his
name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

stirreth up strife: but he that putteth
his trust in Yehovah shall be made fat.
In closing for today:
