Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s.
Today is August 26, 2023
August - Augustus Caesar's month
Latin Augustus "Augustus"
Latin Augustus mensis "month of
Augustus"
Latin sextilis mensis "sixth
month"
Sextilis had
30 days, until Numa when it had 29
days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
Augustus Caesar clarified and completed the calendar reform of
Julius Caesar. In the process, he also renamed this month after himself.
We are now in the 6th month
of God called Elul אֱלוּל ,day 9
Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished in the
twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days
Neh.7 [73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and
the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims,
and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came,
the children of Israel were in their cities.

Isa.14
[4] That you shall
take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How
had the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
[5] Yehovah had broken the staff of the
wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
[6] He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that
ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hinders.
[7] The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into
singing.
[8] Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon,
saying, Since you are laid down, no feller is come up
against us.
[9] Hell from beneath is moved
for you to meet you at your coming: it stirs up the dead for you, even all
the chief ones of the earth; it had raised up from their thrones all the kings
of the nations.
[10] All they shall speak and say unto you, Art you also become weak as
we? are you become like unto us?
[11] Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your viols:
the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you.
[12] How are you fallen from
heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the
nations!
[13] For you hast said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north:
[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the
most High.
[15] Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
[16] They that see you shall narrowly look upon you, and consider you,
saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
[17] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
[18] All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone
in his own house.
[19] But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, and
as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go
down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden
under feet.
[20] You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you hast
destroyed your land, and slain your people: the seed of evildoers shall never
be renowned.
Ezek.28
[1] The word of Yehovah came again unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus,
Thus said the Lord Yehovah; Because your heart is
lifted up, and you hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the
midst of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though you set your heart as
the heart of God:
[3] Behold, you are wiser than
Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you:
[4] With your wisdom and with your understanding you hast gotten you
riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into your treasures:
[5] By your great wisdom and by your traffick
hast you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your
riches:
[6] Therefore thus said the Lord Yehovah;
Because you hast set your heart as the heart of God;
[7] Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of
the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your
wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
[8] They shall bring you down to the pit, and you shall die the deaths
of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
[9] Wilt you yet say before him that slayeth you,
I am God? but you shall be a man, and no God, in the
hand of him that slays you.
[10] You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of
strangers: for I have spoken it, said the Lord Yehovah.
[11] Moreover the word of Yehovah came unto
me, saying,
[12] Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus said the Lord GOD; You seal
up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
[13] You hast been in Eden the
garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and
the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was
prepared in you in the day that you wast created.
[14] You are the anointed cherub
that coveres;

Back to Ezek.28
and I have set you so: you were upon the holy
mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of
fire.
[15] You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created,
till iniquity was found in you.
[16] By the multitude of your merchandise they have filled the midst of you
with violence, and you hast sinned: therefore I will cast you as profane out of
the mountain of God: and I will destroy you,
O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
[17] Thine heart was lifted up because of your
beauty you hast corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast
you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you.
[18] You hast defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your
iniquities, by the iniquity of your traffick;
therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of you, it shall devour you,
and I will bring you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that
behold you.
[19] All they that know you among the people shall be astonished at you:
you shall be a terror, and never shall you be any more.
[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of
twelve stars:
[2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to
be delivered.
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
[4] And his
tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and
did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as
soon as it was born.
[5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all
nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his
throne.
[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a
thousand two hundred and threescore days.
[7] And there
was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
[8] And prevailed
not; neither was their place found
any more in heaven.
[9] And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him.
[10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now
is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of
his Messiah:
for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down, which accused
them before our God day and night.
[11] And they overcame the devil by the blood of the Lamb, and by the
word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
[12]
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in
them.
Woe
to the inhibiters of the earth and of
the sea! for the devil is come
down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he had but a short
time.
[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he
persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
[14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished
for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
[15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
[16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
[17]
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant
of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah.
In closing for today, remember to watch for:
Temptations of the devil
Being possessed with a devil (s)
We
serve the almighty Holy God
Yeshua said: Matt 4. Get thee hence, Satan: for it is you shall worship
Yehovah your God, and him only shall you serve.
May God Bless you all in everything you do.
