Shabbat Shalom
August 30, 2008
God has His own calendar - We are in the 5th month, 28th day
--
Judaism made up the name AV.
The fifth month has "No Name" in Scripture
------------------------
New moon maybe Sunday night, moon 1%, Monday, moon 4%, we
will check
Neh.6 [15] So the wall
was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul àÁìåÌì , in fifty and two days.
No name in
scripture for the 6th month. (End of August / September)
--------------
Judaism calls
Elul, the 6th month. We cannot verify this by the Hebrew Scriptures.
Judaism put
together this verse for Elul
Song of Solomon 6:3
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine

Learn not the way of the heathen
Jer.10
[2] Thus saith
the LORD, 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: for one cutteth a tree
out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. [4]
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer.6
[16] Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and
ye shall find rest for your souls. But they
said, We will not walk therein .
( like most of the world today )
Jer.18
[15] Because my people hath forgotten me,
they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in
their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths , in a way not cast up;[16 ]
To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
Col. 2:16
[16] Let no man
therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:[17] Which are a shadow of things to come; but
the body is of Christ.
Pss. 42 [4] When I remember these things, I pour
out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the
house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
chagag çââ : A primitive root - properly to move in a circle,
that is, (specifically) to march in a sacred procession, to observe a festival; celebrate, dance,
(keep, hold) a (solemn) feast (holyday)
Lev.23 feasts of the LORD
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD,
which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
[4] These are the feasts of the LORD,
even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
[37] These are the feasts of the LORD,
which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and
drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
[44] And Moses declared unto the children
of Israel the feasts of the LORD
-------------
It is all about a blessing and a curse
Deut.11 [26] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse
[27] A blessing,
if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this
day:[28] And a curse, if ye will not obey
the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I
command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
--------
Ye
shall not add nor diminish unto the word
which I command you
Deut.4 [2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither
shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments
of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deut.5 [22]
These words the LORD spake
unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud,
and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And
he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
Deut.12 [ 32] What thing soever
I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Proverbs 30: 5 Every word of God is pure:
he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6: Add
thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Rev.22[ 18] For I testify unto every man that heareth
the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things , God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in this book:[ 19] And if any man shall
take away from the words of the book of this
prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and
out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
----------------------
Satan has replaced God's Word
All things of God
are replaced by most people of the earth today 2008
Just to name a
few:
God's Calendar - now Pope
Gregory's Calendar (1500's) we use today
God told us about clean and
unclean foods - Now people eat and drink anything.
Holydays and Feasts of the
Lord are replaced by all the pagan feasts and traditions of the world.
Holydays - now Holidays
New moon is not talked about
any more except in Wiccan pagan circles. (Full moon)
God's 7th day Sabbath - now
Sunday, 1st day
God of Israel - now many
false gods
Names of the days of the
week and names of the months are all changed
God's New Year is changed
The "shadows of things
to come" from Messiah's body are obscured and forgotten by most people on the earth.

Another Yeshua - Jesus / Another Gospel
2Cor.11
[4] For if he that cometh preacheth
another Yeshua / Jesus,
whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not
received, or another gospel, which ye
have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. Why would you do this?
Gal.1
[6] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him
that called you into the grace of Messiah / Christ unto another gospel:
[7] Which is not another; but there be some that
trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Messiah / Christ.
[8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed.
[9] As we said before, so say I now again, If
any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
[10] For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for
if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Messiah / Christ.
[11] But I certify you, brethren, that the
gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
[12] For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by
the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah / Jesus Christ.
----------
Matt.15 [3] Yeshua said: .......
Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
[6] ... Thus
have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Mark 7 [13] Making
the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered:
and many such like things do ye.
[9] And he said unto them,
Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own
tradition.
Col. 2 [8] Beware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men , after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ.
1Pet. 1 [18] Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not
redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers ;[19
] But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot: [20 ] Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of
the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
-------------------
The mystery of iniquity
Dan. 7 [25] And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws : and they
shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
2 Thes. 2 [7] For the mystery of iniquity doth
already work :
only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken
out of the way.

"He, anti-Messiah" changes times and laws
Pagan people of ancient times believed in
astrology as they do today, they worshiped the sun and the moon, and the 5
known planets at that time, in which
they named after pagan gods: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Also
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, modern-day scientists gave pagan names.
A little more
detail:
Sunday
Dies solis means the day of the sun, from which we
get Sunday. Sun worship was marked by the use of the halo, or nimbus, which
originated with the pagan Greeks and Romans to represent their sun god, Helios.
Later artists adopted it for use in Christian images.
The halo is actually just the sun behind the
person's head, as shown in the illustration. It's easy to recognize once one
realizes what it is, although it's also often stylized to make it less obvious.
Originally a very devious way of mixing idolatrous sun worship with
Christianity by converts who were not all that converted, the pagan halo became
a very misleading tradition in Christian art.
Monday
Dies lunae (from which comes the word lunar), means moon
day, from which we get the shortened version, Monday.
Tuesday
Dies Martis, means mars day, after Mars, the Roman god of war. The day
was known to the pagan Germans after their own god of war, Tiw
(pronounced too) as Tiw's (pronounced tooz) day, from which we get Tuesday.
Wednesday
Dies mercuri, means mercury day. Woden (pronounced
woe-den) was the Germanic version of the pagan god mercury, and they named the
day Woden's day, from which we get Wednesday.
Thursday
Dies Jovis means Jove's day, or Jupiter's day. Thor was the
Germanic version of the god Jupiter, so they called the day Thor's Day, from
which we got Thursday.
Friday
Dies Veneris means Venus Day. The Germanic version of this
female god was Frigg, or Freyja (pronounced fry-yah),
so they called the day Freyja day, from which we got
Friday.
Saturday
Dies Saturni means Saturn day, from which came Saturday. The
pagans also observed their Saturnalia festival in the last week of December, a
time when work ceased, gifts were exchanged, and slaves feasted with their
masters.
--------------------------
Pagan months
January: Roman god Janus was the god of doorways,
entrances, gateways, thresholds and beginnings, and therefore used for the
opening of the New Year.
February: February used to be the last month of the Roman
calendar. On 15th day of the month was a Pagan festival of purification called Februa and so this month came to be known as Februa's month. The day before that, and the day after 13th
was a holiday to honour Juno.
The goddess Juno was the Queen of the Roman gods
and goddesses, and also the goddess of women and marriage. Was it coincidence
that the nasty Emperor Claudius II arranged for a priest named Valentine to be
clubbed to death and then beheaded on this day?
March: The Roman god Mars, god of war and
guardian of the state. This was the first month of the ancient Roman calendar.
April: Considered a sacred Roman month for the goddess
Venus. The name 'April' is probably from Apru,
an Etruscan borrowing of Greek Aphrodite, a fertility goddess. Alternatively,
it may stem from the Latin aperire (to
open), as so many buds and blossoms open in this month.
May: This is from Maia a Roman goddess of
earth, honour and reverence. She was wife of Vulcan,
mother of Mercury by Jupiter and daughter of Atlas. It became a popular girl's
name in English.
June: The chief goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and
queen of the heavens and gods. June became another popular name for girls,
as did:
July: Named after the death Julius Caesar in 44
BC to deify and immortalize his name. Gaius Julius Caesar was born in this
month, which was formerly Quintilis (fifth) month of
the Roman calendar.
August: Named in 8 BC after Augustus Caesar, the
adopted heir of Julius Caesar and the first Roman emperor (31 BC - 14AD). A
word related to 'august' is 'venerable', and the emperor was known as the
Venerable Caesar. Quite a contrast to the month's original
name, 'Weodmonao', which means 'month of weeds'.
Today's gardeners would agree with that.
September: This name comes from the Latin septem, meaning 'seven'.
October: This name comes from the Latin octo, meaning 'eight'. (Octopus
- an 8-sided cat?) This is the month when people start thinking of
Christmas and New Year parties. Amaze your friends by telling them the day of
the week for Christmas Day and New Year's Day; these days are always the same
week day as 2nd October.
November: This name comes from the Latin novem, meaning 'nine'.
December: This name comes from the Latin decem, meaning 'ten'.

God has His own months of the year and His own New Year
Deut. 11 [12] A land which
the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy
God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of
the year.
Num. 28 [14] And their drink offerings shall be

throughout the months of the year .

---------------------
When we discuss these things with people it causes division
Luke. 12 [51] Suppose ye that I am come to give
peace on earth?
I tell you, Nay;
but rather division:
[52] For from henceforth there shall be
five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
[53] The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against
the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the
mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law.
division: a parting, disunion, dissension
Mic. 7 [6] For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth
up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's
enemies are the men of his own house.
Matt. 10 [21] And the brother
shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the
children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to
death.
[22 ] And ye
shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth
to the end shall be saved.
Mark. 13 [12] Now the brother shall betray the brother
to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. [13
] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall
endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Luke. 21 [16] And ye shall be
betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks,
and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. [17]
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.[18
] But there shall not an hair of your head perish.[ 19] In your
patience possess ye your souls.
John. 7 [43] So there was a division among the people because of Hm.
Luke. 14 [26 ] If any man come to me, and hate not
his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea,
and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.[27 ] And whosoever doth
not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Rom. 8 [38 ] For I am
persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be
able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John. 16 [1] These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be
offended.
[2] They shall put you out
of the synagogues: yea , the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he
doeth God service.
------------------
We need to teach our children and this world
Deut.6
[1] Now these are the commandments, the
statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you,
that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
[2] That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God,
to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and
thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be
prolonged.
[3] Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well
with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers
hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with
milk and honey.
[4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
[5] And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with
all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all
thy might.
[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
[7] And thou shalt
teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt
talk of them when thou sittest in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when
thou liest down, and when thou risest
up.
[8] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts
of thy house, and on thy gates.
Deut.11
[16] Take heed to yourselves, that your
heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship
them;
[17] And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up
the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and
lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
[18] Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your
soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets
between your eyes.
[19] And ye shall teach them your children,
speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest
by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
[20] And thou shalt write them upon the door
posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
[21] That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in
the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to
give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
Prepare ye the way of the LORD
Isa. 40 [3] The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
ôÌÇðÌåÌ ãÌÆøÆêÀ éÀäåÈä
panah ôÌðä - to turn, to turn toward, to turn and
do, to approach, to turn and look at, after or for, to make clear,
John. 1 [23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make
straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
Matt.3
[3] For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Mark. 1 [3] The voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight.
Luke. 3 [4] As it is written in the book of the words
of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight.
[5] Every valley shall be
filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall
be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;[6]
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
-------------------
1 John. 2 [21] I have not written unto you because
ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth
Gal. 4 [16] Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
I pray not, shalom
