Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory;
from the 1500’s.
Today is 7th month called July, the 20th
day, of 2013
July -- Julius
Caesar's month
Middle English Julie
Latin Julius "Julius"
Latin Julius mensis "month of Julius"
Latin quintilis mensis "fifth month"
Quintilis (and later Julius) has always had 31 days.
Julius Caesar reformed the
Roman calendar (hence the Julian calendar) in 46 BC. In the process, he renamed
this month after himself.
----------------------------------------------------
Yehovah has His own calendar
We are now in the 5th month, 11th day (this
month has no name)
Judaism calls the
5th month Av which is made up – adding to the Word
Judaism made up the name AV
(father?) and they say they have a civil year and religious year. They say AV
is the eleventh month of the civil year, and fifth month of the religious year. Wrong!
Yehovah only has "ONE CALENDAR".
Deut. 11
[12] A land which Yehovah thy God careth for: the eyes of Yehovah thy God are always upon
it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end
of the year.

A recap of
how to keep the Sabbath
I always feel I
need to mention that the Sabbath is not
"a service" for an hour and a half, but the Sabbath is a "whole 24
hr. day" to the God of Israel.
Beware
of Judaism, they say
Gentiles don’t have to keep the Sabbath; they say it is only for them Jews in
Judaism which is not scriptural. The Judaism of today is not found in the
Hebrew Bible. There was no Talmud or any other of Judaism’s books during the
time of Moses. Actually, there was no Judaism nor rabbis found in the Tanakh.
Question: S0 why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to
keep it holy
The 4th
Commandment is a part of the “covenant” given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd
month, Sivan
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.
Did
you remember?
Here we can see that God tells us to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
This tells us that they had known about the Sabbath before. We can also see
that the entire day, 24 hours, is to be kept holy to Yehovah. No work is to be
done by anyone in your entire household.
--------
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.
Within your gates - in all your
dwellings
Unto this day,
some people are still breaking the 4th commandment each week by not
keeping the Sabbath as it is described above.
-------------
I shall again define a few words:
Remember
זכר zâkar - zaw-kar' - A primitive root; properly to mark
(so as to be recognized), that is, to remember;
by implication to mention; make mention of, be
mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make
to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, still,
think on, well.
----------
Holy Convocation
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
Dwelling
משׁב/מושׁב môshâv – seat, assembly,
dwelling-place, dwelling, your
situation, location, (at) time of dwelling
No buying and selling
-----------------
Backup scriptures
How do I Keep the Sabbath?
This is a
common question that we are asked, and as usual, the answer is in the Word of
God.
First we
will start by showing where the Sabbath originated:
Genesis
Chapter 2 verses -2, 3
Sabbath
is not a Jewish tradition. Here in Genesis 2:2,3 there
were no Jews or an Israel.
Sabbath
is a commandment.
Gen.2[
2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.[ 3]
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that
in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
So we can see
that God blessed and sanctified the 7th day in
Genesis. If you don’t know what the 7th day of the week is, look on
your calendar, It is Saturday.
Since the time
of Yeshua / Jesus (and Jesus kept the Sabbath), the days in a year, and
the days in the month has changed, but not the days of the week.
The
Commandments of God are located in Exodus Chapter 20 and Deuteronomy Chapter 5.
The
4th Commandment of God is to keep HIS Sabbath
------------
Now
you may have more questions, but again they are answered by the Word of God
Remember that
Yeshua / Jesus is the Word of God manifest in the
flesh. He is the one that made this commandment and it has a real purpose for
his people. Yeshua / Jesus said in Mark 2:27
And he said unto them, The sabbath
was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. He is
said that he made the Sabbath FOR man.
He knows that
if we don't spend at least one whole day reading his word, praying, and taking
the time to know him - we will forget him. If we are honest, we can see the
result. Christians go to church on Sunday for an hour or so, go out to lunch,
mow the lawn, and watch the ball game etc…...
God
starts His day in the evening, as said in here:
Gen.1[5] And God called the
light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning
were the first day. You see the day starts in the evening.
They do not keep the commandment as God said (Saturday- all day) and the result
is that many pseudo Christians do not know the word of God today and probably
can't even tell you what his commandments are.
Also, by the
way, God's day is from evening to evening (sunset to sunset) which makes
more sense than the day changing in the middle of the night. In God's day there
is 12 hours of night and then 12 hours of day. In the
bible where the Holy ghost came to the apostles on the
day of Pentecost, the 3 rd hour of the day would be around 9:00 in
the morning (the third hour of sunlight). So God's Sabbath starts Friday night
at sunset and ends on Saturday night at sunset.
Lev
23:32
It shall be unto you a sabbath
of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even,
from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
Gentiles get a special Blessing for
keeping Sabbath
Isa.56
[1] Thus
saith Yehovah, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for
my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
[2] Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth
the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
[3]
Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to Yehovah,
speak, saying, The Yehovah hath utterly separated me from his people: neither
let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.[4] For thus saith Yehovah
unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and
choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;[5] Even unto
them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better
than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall
not be cut off. [6] Also the sons of the stranger, that join
themselves to Yehovah, to serve him, and to love the name of Yehovah, to be his
servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
[7] Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall
be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer
for all people.
So we can see
that even when the stranger (which some of us once were) join themselves to Yehovah,
and serve him, and keep His sabbath
even them will I bring to my holy mountain…
How to keep the Sabbath
Isaiah
58:13-14
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, not doing thine
own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
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 .
Here we see
that the entire day is to be kept for the Lord. Not doing your own ways, or
speaking your own words, or doing your own pleasure. Call the Sabbath a
delight! Holy of the Yehovah! And honoring HIM! Now you may ask, what could
possibly be wrong with that? The answer is that there is everything right with
that.
The
Sabbath and not having idols are the two commandments most written about in the
bible (2nd and 4th commandments).
God
does NOT change and Yeshua / Jesus is the Word of God in the flesh.
Another
point to remember is that Yeshua / Jesus and the apostles did not have the Gospels
and letters.
They used the TaNaKh to prove the Messiah. The reasons most people do not
understand the Gospels and letters is that they
don't know, or read the Torah.
Now
I will show you by scripture that you cannot buy or sell on the Sabbath.
Nehemiah
13 15-22
In those days
saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses;
as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they
brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day:
and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
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.
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?
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our
God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet
ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark
before the sabbath, I
commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be
opened till after the sabbath: and some of my
servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on
the sabbath day.
So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem
once or twice.
Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why
lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will
lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath. And I commanded the
Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep
the gates, to sanctify the sabbath
day.
Remember me, O my God, concerning
this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
As
we can see, it is EVIL to buy and sell on the Sabbath and the people of
Israel were punished many times for not keeping HIS Sabbath. Without the
Sabbath, God’s people forget Him.
Sabbath
mentioned by Yeshua when talking about the future – Matt.24[20] But pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath
day:
Even after there are a New Heavens and a New Earth,
there will be a Sabbath.
Isa.66[ 22] For as the new heavens and the new earth,
which I will make , shall remain before me, saith Yehovah, so shall your
seed and your name remain.[23 ] And it shall come to pass, that from one
new moon to another, and from one sabbath to
another , shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Yehovah.
Sabbath is mentioned 60
times in the Gospels and letters
Have you read this verse in Luke
23:56?
(First day of the feast of unleavened bread)
There is still a Sabbath, a rest, and it is a
commandment.
Luke.23[ 54] And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. [56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
By this short recap of 2013, I see we can use this study to reevaluate
ourselves, our friends and companions, our lifestyle, etc.
As Paul puts it, examine ourselves.
We had become forensic spiritual detectives in our walk with the
God of Israel. We have learned to prove all things, and only hold fast that
which is good.
Apostle Paul says the same thing:
1 - Relevant -
bearing upon or connected with the matter in hand; pertinent
2 - Not so
relevant – not so pertinent
3 - Irrelevant
- not relevant; not applicable or pertinent
Most
pseudo Christians love talking about eschatology which is just a waste of time
because no one actually knows the future. They think themselves enlightened, I
beg to differ.
Eschatology: Any system of doctrines concerning
last, or final, matters, as the future
state of events to the end, death, the Judgment, etc. , a branch of theology.

What is a salvation issue?
In other words,
What makes your salvation
void?
Answer: any SIN
(Which Include)
Another GOSPEL, another Yeshua
Another Religion, Doctrine
If you’re not of the God of
Israel
If you don’t believe the Word
of God was made flesh
If you don’t believe Yeshua
is the Messiah
If you don’t believe in
Yeshua’s blood atonement
If you are of an anti-Messiah
spirit
These are a few Salvation
issues!!
Answer: Transgressing the LAW
1John.3 [4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Prov.28 [9] He that turneth away his ear
from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be
abomination.
------------------
John.8[34]
Yeshua answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the
servant of sin.
[10] In this the
children of God are manifest, and the children of the
devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God…
I hope you don’t find
this study, redundant, for Scripture says:
Even in
Deuteronomy chapter 17, the King of Israel had to read therein all the days of
his life:
that he may learn to fear Yehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law
and these statutes, to do them: That his heart be not lifted up above his
brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand,
or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and
his children, in the midst of Israel.
