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
. 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.
---------
1Sam.8 [1
] And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he
made his sons judges over Israel.
[8] According to all the works which they have done since
the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they
have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
We have the same people today ( end of 2006
) that have forsaken The Lord
Exod.34[12
] Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with
the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the
midst of thee:
All things of God are replaced by most people
of the earth
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.
God's calendar is replaced by Pope Greg's calendar.
New moon is not talked about any more except in wiccan pagan
circles.
God's Sabbath, the 7th day is replaced by the 1st day of
the week.
The "shadows of things to comes" from Messiah's
body are obscured and forgotten
by most people on the earth.
----------
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.
2Thes.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.

The first Roman Calendar
had 10 months, with 304 days in a year that began
in March. January and February were added later.
In 46 BC, Julius Caesar created "The Year
of Confusion" by adding 80 days to the year making it 445 days long to
bring the calendar back in step with the seasons. The solar year - with the
value of 365 days and 6 hours - was made the basis of the calendar. To take
care of the 6 hours, every 4th year was made a 366-day year.
It was then that Caesar decreed that the year
begins with the 1st of January.
In 325AD Constantine the Great, the first so-called
Christian Roman emperor, introduced Sunday as thea holyday in the week.
He also introduced Easter and Christmas.
In 1545 the Council of Trent authorised Pope
Paul III to reform the calendar
once more.
Pope Gregory
XIII ordered that Thursday, 4 October 1582 was
to be the last day of the Julian calendar.
Protestant rulers ignored the new calendar
that the Pope ordered. It was not until 1698 that Germany and the Netherlands
changed to the Gregorian calendar. Britain made the change only in 1752. Russia
adopted the new calendar in 1918, and China in 1949.
The Gregorian calendar
is the most widely used 12/30/06
in the world. A modification of the 12/30/06
, it was first proposed ( as it is said by many ) by the
Calabrian doctor
Aloysius Lilius
, and with the assistance of the Italian astronomer Luigi Lilio
Ghiraldi and the German Jesuit mathematician Christopher Clavius, Gregory introduced
his namesake calendar in 1582
. Its years are numbered from the "traditional ( made up
) birth year of Jesus
", which is labeled the A D era and sometimes C E.
The Gregorian Calendar was devised both because the mean
year in the
Julian Calendar was slightly too long, causing the
vernal equinox to slowly
drift backwards in the 12/30/06, and
because the lunar calendar used to compute
the date of Easter had grown conspicuously in error
as well.
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'.

When we discuss these things with people it
causes division

[51]
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?

division:
[52] For from
henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and
two against three.
division: a parting,
disunion, dissension

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.

[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

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

but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

[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.

] But there shall not an hair of your head perish.[
19] In your patience possess
ye your souls.

[43] So there was a division
among the people because of
Hm.

life also, he cannot be my disciple.[27

be my disciple.

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things
to come,

should not be offended.
[2] They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea

voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the LORD,

not the truth, but because ye know it, and that
no lie is of the truth

----------------------------------------
In righteousness we judge and make war for
you ( this world )
2Cor.10[
3] For though we walk in the
flesh, we do not war after the flesh:[4
] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong holds;)[5
] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ;[6
] And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when
your obedience is fulfilled.

18] This charge I commit unto
thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that

Fight the good fight of faith
, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and
hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
2Tim.4[
7] I
have fought a good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith:[8] Henceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also
that love his appearing.
Prov.20[
18] Every purpose is established
by counsel: and with good advice make war.

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 Jesus Christ.
Rev.17[
14] These
shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome
them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him
are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Rev.19[
11] And I saw heaven opened,
and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and
True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
[19] And I saw
the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against
his army.[20
] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received
the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire
burning with brimstone.
Ecclesiastes: [1] To every thing there is a
season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
[2] A time to
be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which
is planted;

[2] Now the name of his firstborn
was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
[3] And his sons walked not
in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
[4] Then all the elders of Israel
gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
[5] And said unto him,
Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways
: now make us
a king to judge us like all the nations.
[6] But the thing displeased
Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us.
And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
[7] And the LORD said unto Samuel,
Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee:
for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected
me, that I should not reign over them.
[13] But ye shall destroy their
altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:[
14] For thou
shalt worship no other god: for
the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
[15] Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they
go a whoring after their gods , and do sacrifice unto their gods,
and one call thee
, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
[16]
And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring
after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.[
17] Thou shalt make thee no molten
gods.
Exod.13[4] This day came ye
out in the month Abib( in the aviv, )
March - April, Spring
[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.
[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.
