Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s.
Today’s date is Oct.29,
2022
October - the eighth month
– now the 10th month
Middle English octobre
Latin October
Latin octo "eight"
+ -ber (adj.
suffix)
Latin october mensis "eighth
month"
October has
always had 31 days.
The God
of Israel has His own Calendar: we are now in the 8th month
called:
Bul /Bool,בּוּל the
eighth month
1Kgs.6 [38]… in the month Bul, which is the
eighth month, day 2
Don’t call the eighth
month Mar Cheshvan or Cheshvan - this is made up in
Judaism, a lie

Today’s Topic:
The season of pagan
holidays again
Remember, “tis the season to be
pagan” is stating all ready.
Lies are all around us, beware!
Beware of the false image
of love and the false feelings and emotions that run wild. False lights and
music are everywhere. These feasts that are not scriptural bring on loneliness,
depression and suicide and oh yes, debt for years to come.
We are
commanded by God
Learn not the way of the
heathen
Jer.10 [2]
Thus said Yehovah, Learn not
the way of the heathen , and be not dismayed at the signs of
heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them [3] For the customs of the people are vain…
Most of the
world is getting ready for Halloween
There are so many
websites on this, here is one, bad advice:
Celebrate Halloween Like
A Witch: There are many ways to celebrate October
31st, including dressing up, carving pumpkin, eating candy, watching horror
flicks, etc.
October 31st is Halloween,
and it’s a perfect opportunity to celebrate the ancient pagan holiday. Known as Samhain by many pagansr.
It’s also seen as a time when the veil between
our world and other worlds is thinnest, allowing those with intuitive gifts
such as clairvoyance or tarot reading to access deeper realms.
Witches
are often associated with Halloween because it is one of the most popular holidays among witches and
pagans.
But there are many different
types of witches, including those who follow Wicca, a polytheistic
religion.
Contemporary
paganism is an umbrella term used to describe a variety
of modern religions. Some people practice Wicca, while others follow Druidry, Heathenry, Norse polytheism, Celtic spirituality,
or even neo-pagan movements such as eclectic witchcraft.
Many
of these movements worship nature deities like the Earth goddess, the Moon
goddess, and the Sun god.
The word “Samhain”
comes from the Gaelic language and refers to the beginning of winter. As one of the four great
festivals of the year…
Scripture
cautions us:
Below is just a short review of the pagan festival of Halloween.
Isn’t it amazing people will get mad at us, that we do not want to participate
in this pagan holiday.
Peter reports:
1Pet.4
[1] Forasmuch then as Messiah hath suffered for us in the
flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in
the flesh hath ceased from sin;
[2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to
the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
[3] For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the
will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of
wine, revellings, banqueting, and abominable idolatries:
[4] Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the
same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
[5] Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the
quick and the dead.
Halloween was
and is a popular pagan festival
of the dead (sow –win - Samhain). The ancient Celts celebrated the New Year on November
1. They believed that the souls of the dead
returned to Earth the night before.
Samhain is
Gaelic for “summer’s end,” a day to bid good-bye to warmth and light as day
length shortens.
In an attempt to replace this festival,
the Catholic Church moved
the celebration of All Saints to November 1. This is the day when all of the
saints are honored, especially those who did not have a day of their own.
This day was formerly known as Allhallowsmas, hallow meaning
"holy" or "holy person." All Saints Day is known in England
as All Hallows Day.
The evening before, October 31, is
known as All Hallows Eve, the
origin of the American word Halloween!
In later years, the Irish used hollowed-out, candlelit
turnips carved with a demon’s face to frighten away the spirits. When Irish
immigrants in the 1840s found
few turnips in the United States, they used the more plentiful pumpkins
instead, sad to say.
Often overshadowed by the two days
preceding it, Halloween (October 31) and All Saints Day (November 1),
(November 2), All Souls Day is
a solemn feast in the Roman Catholic Church commemorating all of those who have
died and now are in Purgatory,
being cleansed of their venial sins and the temporal punishments for the mortal sins that they had confessed and atoning before entering
fully into Heaven.
All lies!
History of All Souls Day:
The importance of All Souls Day was made clear by Pope Benedict XV (1914-22), when he
granted all priests the privilege of celebrating three Masses on All Souls Day: one, for the faithful departed; one
for the priest's intentions; and one for the intentions of the Holy Father.
Only on a handful of other very important feast days are priests allowed to
celebrate more than two Masses.
All lies!
Let’s make cents of
this - dollars and cents J
The National Retail Federation’s annual Halloween Consumer survey conducted by Prosper Insights
&
Analytics reveals that total Halloween
spending in 2022 is expected to
reach a record $10.6 billion, exceeding last
year’s record of $10.1 billion.
Halloween participation returns to pre-pandemic levels
Participation
in Halloween 2022-related activities will resume to pre-pandemic levels, with
69% of consumers planning to celebrate the holiday this year, up from 65% in
2021 and comparable to 68% in 2019, according to the National Retail Federation’s
annual survey conducted by Prosper Insights
& Analytics.
Generation Z, 18- to 24-year-olds
- Younger consumers have more plans
than any other group…
Scripture
says:
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!
[21] Woe unto
them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
[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
Once upon a time, Halloween
was banned - Halloween was not celebrated in this country until 1845
Pertaining to Christmas
– X mas - Once upon a time, Christmas
was banned in 1659 in America
There is a spiritual battle raging
between: The True Light and Darkness, the
artificial light
Of all the books in the
world, I believe the Bible is the only book that has genuine fulfilled prophecy
and true shadows of future events. This is proof of the divine inspiration from
God.
By shadows, I mean forecasts,
whether direct or indirect of past, fulfilled prophecy, and future events that
are prophesied yet to come.
As all the unscriptural
holidays of the world approach, again, I am reminded again 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. They really set the stage for you.
Remember, Satan is
the prince of the power of the air.
[1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins;
[2] Wherein in time past you walked according to the
course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:
[3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past
in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great
love wherewith he loved us,
[5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened
us together with Messiah (by grace ye are saved;)
[6] And had raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua:
[7] That in the ages to come he might show the
exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Messiah Yeshua.
Let's talk about day and
night and the seasons.
Shadows of the resurrection
of the Sun, Son – Messiah
I have always thought of
the rising of the sun in the mornings as the shadow of the Messiah's
resurrection and the Sun of God arising
in a hearts.
Mal.4 [2] …unto
you that fear my name shall the Sun
of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…
שֶׁמֶשׁ
צְדָקָה
Night and darkness with
its sleep, rest, and quietness
The sunrise, light and the
awakening of the next morning are to me, a constant
reminder of life and the resurrection.
As they, from the past thought, the winter
months are symbols of death.
Everything is frozen, dead,
no life. Why then is the Gregorian calendar’s New
Year is in January, winter?
God's New Year is in Spring, a
symbol of life.
Everything arises and is
born again, does that sound familiar?
God's New Year is in Exod.
12:1-2 (before Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread
and First fruits, the resurrection)
Exod.12
[1] And Yehovah
spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
[2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to
you. Exod.13 Abib, ha aviv
Out of darkness, death come
“Life”
Messiah is the First Fruits
1 Cor.15 [23]
… Messiah the first fruits
1 Cor.15 [20] But now is Messiah risen from the dead, and become the
first fruits of them that slept. (dead)
Messiah is the resurrection
John 11[24] …[25] Yeshua said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live…
Messiah is the Light of this
world
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]
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
1 John 1[5]
… God is light, and in him is no darkness
at all.
Out of darkness, death cometh
the light, life
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.
[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 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.
We are children of light,
the day
1Thes. 5 [5] You are all the
children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night,
nor of darkness.
[6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let
us watch and be sober.
[7] For they that sleep sleep
in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
[8] But let us, who
are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and
for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
[9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to
obtain salvation by our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
[10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep,
we should live together with him.
[11] Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify
one another, even as also ye do.
Pictures, examples of
darkness, death and life are everywhere in scripture
We are children of Light,
Life – the Resurrection
Luke [34] And Yeshua answering said unto them, the children of
this world marry, and are given in marriage:
[35] But they which shall
be accounted worthy to obtain that world and the
resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
[36] Neither can they die
any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the
children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
[37] Now that the dead are
raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calls Yehovah the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob.
[38] For He is not a God of the
dead, but of the living: for all live unto Him.
John 5 [28] … the hour is coming, in the which all that are
in the graves shall hear his voice, [29] And shall
come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
1 Pet. 2 [9] … you
are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that you should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out
of darkness into his marvelous light…
2 Pet. 1 [19]
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take
heed, as unto a light that shins in a
dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts…
We are lights of this world
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 at 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.
Messiah
Luke.1 [79] Messiah came to give light to
them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into
the way of peace
Messiah
Luke 2 [32] A light to
lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel
Luke 11
[33] No man, when he hath
lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel,
but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
[34] The light of the body
is the eye: therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of
light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is
full of darkness.
[35] Take heed therefore
that the light which is in thee be not
darkness.
[36] If your whole body
therefore be full of light, having no part
dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when
the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Mat. 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 thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
2 Tim. 1 [8] Be not you therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be you partaker of the afflictions of the
gospel according to the power of God;
[9] Who hath saved us, and
called us with an holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in
Messiah Yeshua before the world began,
[10] But is now made
manifest by the appearing of our Savior Yeshua the
Messiah, who hath abolished death,
and had brought life and immortality to light through the gospel …
John 1 [4] In Yeshua is life; and the life was the light of
men.[5] And the light shines in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[7] The John came for a
witness, to bear witness of the Light
that all
men through him might believe.
[8] John 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. Yeshua
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]
John was a burning and a shining light: and you
were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
John 11 [9]
Yeshua said, 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.
The children of light
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 goeth.
[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.
Paul was sent also to be a
light
Acts 13 [47] For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set
thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be
for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Acts 26 [13] At
midday, O king, I Saul saw in the way a light
from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round
about me and them which journeyed with me.
[14] And when we were all
fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew
tongue, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute fme? it is hard for thee
to kick against the pricks.
[15] And I said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I
am Yeshua whom you persecute.
[16] But rise, and stand
upon your feet: for I have appeared unto you for this purpose, to make you a
minister and a witness both of these things which you hast seen, and of those
things in the which I will appear unto you
[17] Delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I
send you,
[18] To open their eyes,
and to turn them from darkness to light, and
from the power of Satan unto God, that
they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are
sanctified by faith that is in me.
[19] Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto
the heavenly vision:
[20] But showed first
unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of
Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they
should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
[21] For these causes the
Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
[22] Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this
day, witnessing both to
small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and
Moses did say should come:
[23] That Messiah should
suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise
from the dead, and should show light unto
the people, and to the Gentiles.
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 Tim. 6 [12]
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto you
are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.
[13] I
give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickens all
things, and before Messiah Yeshua, who before Pontius
Pilate witnessed a good confession;
[14] That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable,
until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah:
[15] Which in his 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.
Messiah
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.
And now the artificial
light, the false image that is engulfing the world
The NIV calls Lucifer,
"Jesus / Yeshua" in Isaiah 14:12
הֵילֵל
בֶּן־שָׁחַר
הֵילֵל (hay root ה )
ילֵל weeping, crying, howling, extreme sadness ( yod rootי )
בֶּן son
שָׁחַר black, darkness of the morning
***In the Hebrew text, the
word for star, כּוֹכָב is not
there!
Everybody should know the
word "Lucifer" is another name for Satan. The word
"Lucifer" is found one time in the King James Bible.
Our Bible
says:
KJV - Isaiah 14:12 How
are you fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of
the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, which didst weaken
the nations!
Yeshua is the
bright and morning star.
KJV - Revelation 22:16:
I Yeshua have sent mine angel to testify unto you
these things in the churches. I am the root
and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Son of the blackness of
the morning - Satan
בֶּן-שָׁחַר
שׁחר shâchar - A primitive root -
the idea of the duskiness of early dawn); to be dim or dark (in color): - be
black.
Many Bible versions pollute the
word of God, here are a few:
Remember, ***In the Hebrew text, the word for star, כּוֹכָב is not
there!
Now look:
ASV Isaiah 14:12 O
day-star …
BBE Isaiah 14:12 O
shining one…
ESV Isaiah 14:12 " O Day
Star
JPS Isaiah 14:12 , O
day-star…
NAB Isaiah 14:12 O
morning star
NAS Isaiah 14:12 O star
of the morning
NAU Isaiah 14:12 O star
of the morning
NET Isaiah 14:12 O
shining one
NIB Isaiah 14:12 , O
morning star
NIV Isaiah 14:12 O
morning star
NJB Isaiah 14:12 Daystar
NLT Isaiah 14:12 , O
shining star
NRS Isaiah 14:12 O Day
Star
RSV Isaiah 14:12 Day Star
TNK Isaiah 14:12 O
Shining One
YLT Isaiah 14:12 , O

All lies
This is just some of the polluted bibles above, there are many
more.
This is one
reason why we read the KJV…
Inclosing for today:
False holidays abound now - be safe
The holy days and Feasts of God are ended, the pagan
holidays will start soon.
Beware of the "false
image" of love, Beware of "false feelings and
emotions", loneliness, depression, suicide and oh yes, debt.
