Latin Januarius "of Janus"
Latin Janu(s) "Janus" + -arius "ary (pertaining to)"
Latin Januarius mensis "month of Janus"
Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways, depicted with
two faces looking in opposite directions. His festival month is January.
Januarius had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days
long.

Some News: One story from the Drudge report
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Setting the stage for a potentially historic ruling, the
Supreme Court announced Friday it will decide whether same-sex couples have a right to marry everywhere in America
under the Constitution.
The justices will take up gay-rights cases that ask
them to overturn bans in four states and declare for the entire nation that people
can marry the partners of their choice, regardless
of gender. The cases will be argued in April, and a decision
is expected by late June.
The Bible is clear on this subject.
Here are a few verses:
Deut.22 [5] The woman shall not wear that
which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on
a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto Yehovah thy God.
Lev.20 [13] If a man also lie with mankind, as
he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed
an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon
them.
[15]
And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put
to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
Lev.18 [22] Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.
[23]
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither
shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Deut. 23 [17] There shall be
no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of
the sons of Israel.
1 Cor. 6 [9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God?
Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
------------------------------
Oh well, who needs God, we will decide on our
own. (NOT)
I heard some people did not like my study last
week. I guess they don’t like that there is “Protocol in scripture”, order in a
congregation and that the man is the head of the family. Who needs Elders?
Well I
guess they don’t like Apostle Saul’s letters.

Today’s topic:
The Backslider, sowing discord
Jannes and Jambres
withstood Moses (the Elder)
To withstand, withstood: to stand against, that is, oppose:
- resist
[1] This know also,
that in the last days perilous times shall come.
[2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
[4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God;
[5] Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
[6] For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly
women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
[7] Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
[8] Now as Jannes
and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist
the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
[9] But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
Prov.14 [14] The backslider in heart shall
be filled with his own ways…

Can two
walk together, except they be agreed?
Amos 3 [1] Hear this word that the YEHOVAH hath
spoken against you, O children of Israel, against
the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
[2]You only have I known of all the
families of the earth: therefore I will punish
you for all your iniquities.
[3] Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
----------
Antichrist
1 John 2 [18] Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come,
even now are there many antichrists; whereby we
know that it is the last time.
[19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for
if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went
out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
666
John 6
:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no
more with him.
-------------
Jer. 7 [24] But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
----------
Peter says:
2 Pet. 2 [20] For if after they have escaped the
pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Yehovah and Saviour Yeshua the Messiah, they are again entangled therein,
and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
[21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of
righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy
commandment delivered unto them.
[22] But it is happened unto them according to the
true proverb, The dog is
turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in
the mire.
Prov. 26 [11] As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth
to his folly.
-------------------
Luke 17 [26] And
as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of
man.
[27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and
destroyed them all.
[28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;
they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
[29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed them all.
[30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
[31] In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the
house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let
him likewise not return back.
[32] Remember Lot's wife.
Gen.19 [26] But
his wife looked back from behind him, and she
became a pillar of salt.
Don't look
back
Sowing
discord
There are always “hidden rebels” (they think) somewhere in
the camp and surely they will be found out.
Num.32 [23] …you
have sinned against Yehovah, and
be sure “your sin will find you out”.
----------------------------------
Opposing the Elders
Even after people have seen Yehovah, they still want to do "their own
thing". Some want to serve God "their own
way".
------------
Sowing
discord
Prov.6 [12] A
naughty person, a wicked man or woman, walks with a froward mouth.
[13] He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh
with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
[14] Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth
discord.
[15] Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be
broken without remedy.
[16] These six things Yehovah hate:
yea, seven are
an abomination unto Him:
1 - A proud look
2 - A lying tongue
3 - Hands that shed innocent blood
4 - A heart that devises wicked
imaginations
5 - Feet that be swift in running to
mischief
6 - A false witness that speaketh
lies,
7 - He or she that sows
discord among brethren.

Nadab, and Abihu
Exod.
6 [23]
And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter
of Amminadab,
sister of Naashon,
to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu,
Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
Exod. 24
[1] And
he said unto Moses, Come up unto Yehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab,
and Abihu,
and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.
[2] And Moses alone shall come near Yehovah: but they shall not
come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
[3] And Moses came and told the people all the words of Yehovah,
and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All
the words which Yehovah
hath said will we do.
[4] And Moses wrote all the words of Yehovah, and rose
up early in the morning, and builded an altar
under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
[5] And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt
offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto Yehovah.
[6] And Moses took half of
the blood, and put it in basons;
and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
[7] And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of
the people: and they said, All that Yehovah hath
said will we do, and be obedient.
[8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which Yehovah hath made with you
concerning all these words.
[9] Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and
seventy of the elders of Israel:
[10] And they saw the God of Israel:
and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone,
and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
[11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God,
and did eat and drink.
[12] And
Yehovah
said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee
tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest
teach them.
[13] And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into
the mount of God.
[14] And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come
again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if
any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
[15] And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
[16] And the glory of Yehovah
abode upon mount
Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto
Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
[17] And the sight of the glory of Yehovah was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes
of the children of Israel.
[18] And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him
up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
After seeing God, Nadab
and Abihu offered strange fire before Yehovah
Lev.
10 [1]
And Nadab
and Abihu,
the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and
put incense thereon, and offered strange fire
before Yehovah,
which he commanded them not.
[2] And
there went out fire from Yehovah,
and devoured them, and they died before Yehovah.
[3] Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Yehovah spake, saying, I will be
sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be
glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
[4] And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan,
the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said
unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the
camp.
[5] So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp;
as Moses had said.
[6] And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar
and unto Ithamar,
his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and
lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of
Israel, bewail the burning which Yehovah hath kindled.
[7] And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of Yehovah is upon you. And
they did according to the word of Moses.
Our testimony lives on after we die
and is told.

Num.
3 [2]
And
these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu,
Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
[4] And
Nadab and Abihu
died before Yehovah,
when they offered strange fire before Yehovah,
in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had
no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar
ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
Num.
26 [60]
And unto Aaron was
born Nadab,
and Abihu,
Eleazar,
and Ithamar.
[61] And Nadab and Abihu
died, when they offered strange fire before Yehovah.
1Chr. 24 [1]
Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron.
The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[2] But Nadab and Abihu
died before their father, and had no children: therefore Elezar
and Ithamar
executed the priest's office.

Other rebels in the camp (also among the leaders)
Korah, Dathan
and Abiram,
and On
- took men: two hundred and
fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown
Num. 16
They
gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, the Elders
[1]
Now Korah,
the son of Izhar,
the son of Kohath,
the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram,
the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth,
sons of Reuben, took men:
[2] And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two
hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of
renown:
[3]
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all
the congregation are holy, every one of them, and Yehovah is among them:
wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of Yehovah?
[4] And when
Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
[5] And he spake
unto Korah
and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow Yehovah
will shew
who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even
him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
[6] This do;
Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
[7] And put fire therein, and put incense in them before Yehovah to morrow:
and it shall be that the man whom Yehovah doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take
too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
[8] And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray
you, ye sons of Levi:
[9] Seemeth
it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from
the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of
the tabernacle of Yehovah,
and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
[10] And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy
brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
[11] For which cause both thou and all thy company are
gathered together against Yehovah:
and what is Aaron,
that ye murmur against him?
[12] And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram,
the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
[13] Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth
with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself
altogether a prince over us?
[14] Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth
with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou
put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
[15] And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Yehovah, Respect not thou
their offering: I have not taken one ass
from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
[16] And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and
all thy company before Yehovah,
thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
[17] And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye
before Yehovah
every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each
of you his censer.
[18] And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense
thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses
and Aaron.
[19] And Korah gathered all
the congregation against them unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of Yehovah appeared unto all
the congregation.
[20]
And Yehovah
spake
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
[21] Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them
in a moment.
[22] And
they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all
flesh, shall
one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the
congregation?
[23] And Yehovah spake
unto Moses, saying,
[24] Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle
of Korah,
Dathan,
and Abiram.
[25] And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram;
and the elders of Israel followed him.
[26] And he spake
unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these
wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
[27] So they
gat
up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan,
and Abiram,
on every side: and Dathan and Abiram
came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their
sons, and their little children.
[28] And
Moses said, Hereby
ye shall know that Yehovah
hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not
done them of mine own mind.
[29] If
these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the
visitation of all men; then Yehovah
hath not sent me.
[30] But if Yehovah
make a new thing,
and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up,
with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit;
then ye shall understand that these men have provoked Yehovah.
[31] And it
came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the
ground clave asunder that was under them:
[32] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses,
and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their
goods.
[33] They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and
the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
[34] And
all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest
the earth swallow us up also.
[35] And there came out a fire from Yehovah,
and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
[36] And Yehovah spake
unto Moses, saying,
[37] Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest,
that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire
yonder; for they are hallowed.
[38] The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them
broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yehovah,
therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign
unto the children of Israel.
[39] And Eleazar
the priest took the brasen censers,
wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for
a covering of the altar:
[40]
To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of
the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before Yehovah; that he be not as Korah,
and as his company:
as Yehovah
said to him by the hand of Moses.
[41] But on the morrow all the congregation of the
children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye
have killed the people of Yehovah.
[42] And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against
Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the
tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the
cloud covered it, and the glory of Yehovah appeared.
[43] And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the
congregation.
[44]
And Yehovah
spake
unto Moses, saying,
[45] Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a
moment.
And they fell
upon their faces.
[46] And
Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire
therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the
congregation, and make an atonement for
them: for there is wrath gone out from Yehovah; the plague is
begun.
[47] And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation;
and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and
made an
atonement for the people.
[48] And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was
stayed.
[49] Now they that died in the plague were fourteen
thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
[50] And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

[1] I
therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the
vocation wherewith ye are called,
[2] With all lowliness and meekness, with
longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
[3] Endeavouring to keep the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
[4] There
is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
[5] One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
[6] One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you
all.
[7] But
unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Messiah.
[8]
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
[9] (Now
that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower
parts of the earth?
[10] He
that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he
might fill all things.)
[11] And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Why?
[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Messiah:
[13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of
the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Messiah:
[14] That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
[15] But
speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the
head, even Messiah:
[16] From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which
every joint supplieth, according to the effectual
working in the measure of every part, maketh increase
of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
[17] This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord,
that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
[18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God
through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
[19] Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to
work all uncleanness with greediness.
[20] But ye have not so learned Messiah;
[21] If
so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Yeshua:
[22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
[23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
[24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.
[25]
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth
with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
[26] Be ye
angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
[27] Neither give place to the devil.
[28] Let him
that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour,
working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him
that needeth.
[29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto
the hearers.
[30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye
are sealed unto the day of redemption.
[31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all
malice:
[32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Messiah's sake hath forgiven you.
