I will explain
the Sabbath each week now during the coming holydays
This is how
simple it is:
Exod. 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.
Lev. 23 [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.
--------
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, honourable; and shalt honour him,
1 - not doing thine own ways,
2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,
3 - nor speaking thine 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 Yehovah hath spoken it.
------------------------
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?
------------------------
Today’s topic:
Whatever it takes, Endure!
Let’s read
Jas.5 [10] Take, my brethren, the
prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering
affliction, and of patience.
[11] Behold, we count them happy which endure.
Ye have heard
of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very
pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Matt.10 [22] And
ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
--------------
Let’s be like Messiah / Charity
1Cor.13 – Let’s exchange the word charity for the word Messiah again
[1] Though I speak with the
tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Messiah),
I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
[2] And though I have the
gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I
have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, (Messiah) I am nothing.
[3] And though I bestow all
my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not
charity, (Messiah), it profiteth me nothing.
[4
Charity, (Messiah ) suffereth
long, and is kind; charity, (Messiah ) envieth not; charity, (Messiah ) vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up,
[5] Doth not behave itself
unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;
[6] Rejoiceth
not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
[7] Beareth all
things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things.
[8] Charity, (Messiah ) never faileth: but
whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they
shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three;
but the
greatest of these is charity,
(Messiah).
-------------------
Some don’t endure
Mark 4
[3] Hearken; Behold, there went out
a sower to sow:
[16]… these are they
likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word,
immediately receive it with gladness
[17] And have no root in themselves,
and so endure but for a time: afterward, when
affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's
sake, immediately they are offended.
----------------
Some letters from Saul / Paul
2 Thes. 1
[1] Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our
Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah:
[2] Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
[3] We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet,
because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the
charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
[4] So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for
your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye
endure:
[5] Which is a manifest token
of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be
counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
2 Tim. 2
[1] Thou therefore, my son,
be strong in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.
[2] And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the
same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
[3] Thou therefore endure
hardness, as a good soldier of Yeshua the Messiah.
[4] No man that warreth entangleth himself with
the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a
soldier.
[5] And if a man also strive for masteries, yet
is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
[6] The husbandman that laboureth must be
first partaker of the fruits.
[7] Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in all things.
[8] Remember that Yeshua the Messiah of the seed
of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel
[9] Wherein I suffer
trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds;
but the word of God is not bound.
[10] Therefore I endure
all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Yeshua with
eternal glory.
[11] It is a faithful saying:
For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
[12] If we suffer, we shall also
reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
[13] If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny himself.
2Tim.4 [5] But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
make full proof of thy ministry.
---------------------
Heb.6 [12] … be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
[13] For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself,
[14] Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply
thee.
[15] And so, after he had patiently endured, he
obtained the promise.
Many People endured through faith
Heb.11
[1] Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.[2] For by it the elders obtained a
good report.
[3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word
of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
[4] By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice
than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying
of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
[5] By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see
death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his
translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
[6] But without faith it is impossible
to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe
that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.
[7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as
yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the
righteousness which is by faith.
[8] By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a
place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went
out, not knowing whither he went.
[9] By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange
country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of
the same promise:
[10] For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and
maker is God.
[11] Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed,
and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him
faithful who had promised.
[12] Therefore sprang there even of
one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and
as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
[13] These all died in faith, not
having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded
of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims
on the earth.
[14]
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
[15] And truly, if they had been
mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had
opportunity to have returned.
[16]
But now they desire a better country, that is, an
heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
[17] By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and
he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
[18] Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
[19] Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead;
from whence also he received him in a figure.
[20] By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to
come.
[21] By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons
of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
[22] By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the
departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
[23] By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of
his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid
of the king's commandment.
[24] By faith Moses, when he was come to
years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
[25] Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
[26] Esteeming the reproach of Messiah greater riches than the treasures
in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of
the reward.
[27] By faith he forsook Egypt, not
fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
[28] Through faith he kept the passover,
and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch
them.
[29] By faith they passed through the Red sea as by
dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
[30] By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were
compassed about seven days.
[31] By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them
that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
[32] And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon,
and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of
David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
[33]
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
[34] Quenched the violence of
fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed
valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
[35] Women received their dead
raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that
they might obtain a better resurrection:
[36] And others had trial of
cruel mockings and scourgings,
yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
[37] They were stoned, they were
sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword:
they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted,
tormented;
[38] (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in
dens and caves of the earth.
[39] And these all, having
obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:[40] God
having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be
made perfect.
------------
Heb.12 [1] Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with
so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which
doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set
before us,
[2] Looking unto Yeshua the author and finisher of
our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured
the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God.
[3] For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint
in your minds.
[4] Ye have
not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
-----------------
[12] Wherefore lift up the
hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
[13] And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be
turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
[14] Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall
see the Lord:
[15] Looking diligently lest any man fail
of the grace of God; lest any root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
[16]
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of
meat sold his birthright. [17]
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he
was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it
carefully with tears.
[18] For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that
burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
[19] And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice
they that heard intreated that the word should not be
spoken to them any more:
[20] (For they could not endure that which
was commanded, And if so much as a beast
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:[21] And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly
fear and quake:)
[29] For our God is a
consuming fire.
Endure!

One last note of interest:
Look at your calendar (the Gregorian calendar we use today) you have in your home.
They had March 27, 2016 as Easter, eggs, rabbits, chocolate candy, etc.
**However it is the resurrection of Jesus / Yeshua from the dead
Then they will
have April 22, 2016 is Passover when Jesus / Yeshua dies on the tree /

How could that be?
They have Jesus /
