Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the
1500’s.
Today is April 20, 2019 – in the 21 Century
April -- Aphrodite's month
Old English April(is)
Latin Aprilis
Etruscan Apru
Greek Aphro, short for Aphrodite.
Aprilis had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days
long.
Aphrodite is the Greek
goddess of love and beauty. She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus.
Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world
We are
now in the 1st month of the God of Israel called
Nisan - נִיסָן
and
ha aviv הָאָבִיב - day 14
Esth.3 [7] In the
first month, that is, the month Nisan
בַּחֹדֶשׁ
הָרִאשׁוֹן, הוּא-חֹדֶשׁ
נִיסָן
Exod.13 [4] This day came
ye out in the month ha Abib. הָאָבִיב
הַיּוֹם, אַתֶּם
יֹצְאִים, בְּחֹדֶשׁ,
הָאָבִיב
Today is the Sabbath, the “4th
Commandment” 0f the 10 Commandments, a part 0f the covenant given to us at
Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
It is the rest of the holy
Sabbath unto Yehovah
The Sabbath is not a service for an hour and a half, but a 24 hour period.
Lev. 23 [32] … from
even (sunset) unto even (sunset), shall ye celebrate your
Sabbath.
The Sabbath is the 4th
Commandment in Exod. 20
and Deut. 5 - if you just know this, you will know more than most ministers.
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
Isa. 58 [13] If thou
turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day;
and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honorable; and shalt honor him,
1 - not doing thine (your) own ways
2 - nor finding thine (your) own pleasure
3 - nor speaking thine (your) own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the
earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob
thy father: for the mouth of Yehov ah hath spoken it.
Lev. 23 [1] And Yehovah spake unto
Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, even these are My feasts.
[3] Six days
shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath
of rest, an "holy convocation";
ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the
feasts of Yehovah, even holy convocations,
which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
Dwelling:
מֹשָׁב
מוֹשָׁב
môshâv - seat, assembly, dwelling-place, dwelling, your
situation, location, (at) time of dwelling.
All Sabbaths are "holy convocations:
miqra kodesh
מקרא miqra:
convocation, convoking, reading, a calling
together, sacred assembly, something called out, that is, a public
meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal
קדשׁ kodesh: a sacred
place or thing; consecrated, dedicated, hallowed, holiness, saint, sanctuary,
apartness, sacredness, separateness, apartness, sacredness, holiness: All to
the God of Israel.
Buying and selling is evil on
the Sabbath.
Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware,
and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
[17] Then I contended with the nobles
of Judah, and said unto them, what evil thing is this
that ye do, and profane the Sabbath day?
Before we start, first I will do a short
review of the Spring Feasts and Holy Days.
It seems I can never review these days early enough.

the days of thy life.

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.
[3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth
day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the
house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
[4] And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls;
every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
[5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye
shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
[6] And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month:
and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the
evening.
[7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side
posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
[8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
[9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with
fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance
thereof.
[10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that
which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn
with fire.
[11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on
your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Yehovah's passover.
[12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will
smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against
all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Yehovah.
[13] And the blood shall be to
you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will
pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I
smite the land of Egypt.
[14] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye
shall keep it a feast to Yehovah throughout your
generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for
ever.
[15] Seven
days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven
out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened
bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from
Israel.
[16] And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy
convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that
which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
[17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for
in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:
therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
[18] In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat
unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
[19] Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses:
for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even
that soul shall be cut off from the congregation
of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
[20] Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your
habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
[21] Then Moses called
for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb
according to your families, and kill the passover.
[22] And ye shall take
a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason,
and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his
house until the morning.
[23] For Yehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when
he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two
side posts, Yehovah will pass over the door, and will
not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
[24] And ye shall
observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for
ever.
[25] And it shall come
to pass, when ye be come to the land which Yehovah will give you, according as he hath promised, that
ye shall keep this service.
[26] And it shall come
to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What
mean ye by this service?
[27] That ye shall
say, It is the sacrifice of Yehovah's
passover, who passed over the houses of the children
of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And
the people bowed the head and worshipped.
[28] And the children
of Israel went away, and did as Yehovah had commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did they.
[29] And it came to
pass, that at midnight Yehovah smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharoah
that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the
dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
[30] And Pharaoh rose
up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was
a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
[31] And he called for
Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get
you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go,
serve Yehovah, as ye have said.
[32] Also take your flocks
and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
[33] And the Egyptians
were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in
haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
[34] And the people
took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs
being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
[35] And the children
of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the
Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
[36] And Yehovah gave the people favour in
the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they
required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
[37] And the children
of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about
six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
[38] And a mixed
multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
[39] And they baked
unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was
not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry,
neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
[40] Now the
sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and
thirty years.
[41] And it came to
pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it
came to pass, that all the hosts of Yehovah went out
from the land of Egypt.
[42] It is a night to
be much observed unto Yehovah for bringing them out
from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Yehovah
to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
[43] And Yehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of
the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
[44] But every man's
servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he
eat thereof.
[45] A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
[46] In one house shall
it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the
flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
[47] All the
congregation of Israel shall keep it.
[48] And when a
stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover
to Yehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and
then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the
land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
[49] One law shall be
to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
[50] Thus did all the
children of Israel; as Yehovah commanded Moses and
Aaron, so did they.
[51] And it came to
pass the selfsame day, that Yehovah
did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Again:
Lev.23
[1] And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, even these are my feasts.
[3] Six days
shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no
work therein: it is the sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of Yehovah,
even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
[5] In the
fourteenth day of the first month at even is Yehovah's
passover.
[6] And on
the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto Yehovah: seven days ye
must eat unleavened bread.
[7] In the first day ye shall have an
holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[8] But ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto Yehovah seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation:
ye shall do no servile work therein.

Then, approximately 40 years later,
Deut.16
[1] Observe the month of Abib, ha Aviv הָאָבִיב and keep the passover unto Yehovah thy God: for
in the month of Abib, ha Aviv הָאָבִיב Yehovah thy God
brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
[2] Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover פֶּסַח unto the Yehovah יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ thy God, of the

Being Humble and some Psalms with meek
עָנָה
A
primitive root: abase self, afflict (-ion,
self), chasten self, humble (self)…
Pss.9 [12] When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth
them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
Pss.10 [12] Arise, O Yehovah; O God, יְהוָה--אֵל lift up thine hand:
forget not the humble.
[17] Yehovah, thou hast heard the
desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their
heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
Pss.69 [29] But I am
poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
[30]
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with
thanksgiving.
[31]
This also shall please Yehovah better than an ox or
bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
[32]
The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek
God.
[33]
For Yehovah heareth the
poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
[34]
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moveth therein.
[35]
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell
there, and have it in possession.
[36]
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name
shall dwell therein.
Prov.6 [1] My son, if
thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
[2]
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of
thy mouth.
[3]
Do this now, my son, deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy
friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
[4]
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
[5]
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the
hand of the fowler.
Prov.16[19] Better it is to be of an humble spirit
with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Prov.29[23] A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Yeshua said:
Matt.18
[1] At the same time came the
disciples unto Yeshua, saying, Who
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
[2] And Yeshua called a little child unto him,
and set him in the midst of them,
[3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become
as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[4]
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as
this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matt.23
[1] Then spake
Yeshua to the multitude, and to his disciples,
[2] Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
[3] All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do
not.
[4] For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them
on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their
fingers.
[5] But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad
their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
[6] And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues,
[7] And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
[8] But be not ye called Rabbi:
for one is your Master, even Messiah; and all ye are
brethren.
[9] And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is
your Father, which is in heaven.
[10] Neither be ye called masters:
for one is your Master, even Messiah.
[11] But he
that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
[12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and
he that shall
humble himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18
[9] And he spake
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 thee, 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 exalteth himself
shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Yeshua’ example
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] Fulfil
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, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of
the cross.
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.
James tells us:
Jas.4
…God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of Yehovah,
and He shall lift you up.
Luke.14
[7] And he
put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose
out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
[8] When thou art bidden of any
man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
[9] And he that bade thee and
him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to
take the lowest room.
[10] But when thou art bidden,
go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may
say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou
have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
[11] For
whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased;
and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted.
Saul tells Timothy:
1Tim.5
[1] Rebuke
not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the
younger men as brethren;
[2] The
elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
Peter says:
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 him; for he careth for
you.
[8] Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he
may devour: Whom resist stedfast
in the faith…
Another one of Yeshua’s
lessons:
Luke.22
[1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is
called the Passover.
[24] And
there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the
greatest.
[25] And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they
that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
[26] But ye shall not be so: but
he that is greatest among you,
let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
[27] For whether is greater, he that sitteth
at meat, or he that serveth? is
not he that sitteth at meat?
but
I, Yeshua am among you
as He that serveth
In closing:
In this short study, please learn the lesson of
the feast of unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, being “Humble”, “Meek”
as Messiah was.
Shabbat shalom and grace be with you all, Amen
