Today we use the Gregorian calendar (From Pope Gregory, from the 1500's)

 

Today is Feb. 152025

February -- month of Februa

Middle English Februarius
Latin 
Februarius "of Februa"
Latin 
Februa(s) "Februa" + -arius "ary (pertaining to)"
Latin 
Februarius mensis "month of Februa"
Latin dies 
februatus "day of purification"

Februarius had 28 days, until circa 450 BC when it had 23 or 24 days on some of every second year, until Julius when it had 29 days on every fourth year and 28 days otherwise.

Februa is the Roman festival of purification, held on February fifteenth. It is possibly of Sabine origin.

 

Yehovah has His own calendar:

We are now in the 11th month, Sebat, day 16

Zech.1 [7] Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat Sh’vat

Today’s Topic

We are in

a spiritual battle

 

John 4

[24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth

 

John 16

[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

 

Rom. 1

[4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead…

 

1Pet. 4

[14] If you be reproached for the name of Messiah, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

 

Spirit of God - TaNakh 14 times, Gospels and letters, 12 times

 

Spirit of Messiah, Gospels and letters, 2 times

 

Spirit of Yeshua the Messiah, Gospels and letters, 1 time

 

Spirit of the Lord / Yehovahיְהֹוָה    - TaNaKh, 26 times, Gospels and letters, 5 times

 

Rom.8

[15] For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

 

Luke 4

[33] And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice…

 

Hos.4

[12] My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms had caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

 

Hos.5

[4] They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known Yehovah.

 

Acts.16

[16] And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying…

 

2Tim.1

[7] For God had not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

 

1Cor.2

[11] For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.

[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

[14] But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 

Luke 4

[14] And Yeshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

Rom.15

[19] Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

 

1 John 4

[1] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
[2] Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Yeshua the Messiah is come in the flesh is of God:
[3] And every spirit that confesses not that Yeshua the Messiah is come in the flesh is not of God: and this
is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

[6] We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

 

Rev.19

[10] And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Yeshua: worship God: for the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy.

 

The 2 witnesses in the future:

Rev.11

[11] And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

 

What can we get out of the verses below for today, 2025, in the 21 century

Zeph.1 days of Josiah

[1] The word of Yehovah which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

[2] I will utterly consume all things from off the land, said Yehovah.

[3] I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, said Yehovah.
[4] I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the
Chemarims with the priests;
[5] And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by
Yehovah, and that swear by Malcham;

[6] And them that are turned back from Yehovah; and those that have not sought Yehovah, nor inquired for him.

 

Jer.10 Time of the captivity

[21] For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought Yehovah: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered

Pastors - Usage:  AV - shepherd 63, pastor 8, herdmen

 

Matt.24 Time of Yeshua  

[50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, [51] And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
:
[18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints

 

In closing for now:

May God always be with you
