Sabbath,
the 7th day
Why we read from law and the prophets every Sabbath. ( Saturday )
60 times in the Gospels and letters
it uses the word Sabbath!
Acts.13[13] Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to
Jerusalem.[14] But when they departed from Perga,
they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
and sat down.[15] And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men
and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Acts.15[21] For Moses of old time ( The Torah ) hath in every
city them that preach him, being read in the
synagogues every sabbath day.
Luke.4[16] And he, Yeshua / Jesus came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
stood up for to read.[17] And there was delivered unto
him the book of the prophet Esaias.
Acts.13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew
him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are
read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
Acts.13[42] And when the Jews
were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles
besought that these
words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
[44]And the next sabbath
day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
---------
My sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign
Exod. 31[ 13] Speak
thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths
ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me
and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Yehovah that doth sanctify you. [ 14 ] Ye shall keep
the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every
one that defileth it shall surely be put to death:
for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his
people.[ 15] Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to Yehovah:
whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death.[ 16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep
the sabbath, to observe the sabbath
throughout their generations, for a perpetual
covenant .[17 ] It is a sign between
me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Yehovah
made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

Some News:
John Hagee, on his
program just now, introduced his new book "In Defense of Israel," in
which he claims "Jesus did not come to be the Messiah."
Hagee
maintains that the Jews did not so much reject Jesus as their Messiah as he
refused to be their Messiah.
Hagee
believes that one day the Jews will recognize Jesus as their Messiah. Until
that day, however, they can still be saved apart from faith in him.
http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Doctrines/john_hagees_heresy.htm
Hagee also affirms: "If God blinded the Jewish people to the
identity of Jesus as Messiah, how could He send them to hell for not seeing
what he had forbidden them to see?"11 He continues, "All people will
gain entrance into heaven through Christ. The question is one of timing."

Reluctant Messiah."

are over at this point in time.
The eight days of Sukkot
/ Shmini Atzeret / Simchat Torah came to an end Friday night.The
Sukkot Holy Day marks the last of three fall feasts
of Yehovah.

Nehemiah , chapter
8
After finding written in the law which Yehovah
had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in
the feast of the seventh month:
It is time for a
"re-evaluation of our walk with Yehovah"
How did
you do observing the Scriptures this year?
2 Corinthians, chapter 13:5: Examine yourselves , whether ye be in the faith
; prove your
own selves. Know ye not your own selves,
how that Yeshua the Messiah -Jesus Christ is in you,
except ye be reprobates?
1 Thessalonians, chapter 5:21: Prove all things;
hold fast that which is good.
Nehemiah , chapter
9 - a sure covenant
"1": Now in the twenty and fourth
day of this month ( Ethanim
) the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
"2": And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers,
and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
"3": And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the
law of Yehovah their God one fourth part of the day;
and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped Yehovah
their God.
"4": Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with
a loud voice unto Yehovah their God.
"5": Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless Yehovah
your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy
glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
"6": Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the
heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and
all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
"7": Thou art Yehovah the God, who didst
choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of
the Chaldees, and gavest
him the name of Abraham;
"8": And foundest his heart faithful before
thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land
of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites,
and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites,
to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art
righteous:
"9": And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;
"10": And shewedst signs and wonders upon
Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou
get thee a name, as it is this day.
"11": And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went
through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
"12": Moreover thou leddest them in the day
by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in
the way wherein they should go.
"13": Thou camest down also upon mount
Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes
and commandments:
"14": And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them
precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
"15": And gavest them bread from heaven for
their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out
of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them
that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst
sworn to give them.
"16": But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their
necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
"17": And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that
thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion
appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to
pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
"18": Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is
thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
"19": Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest
them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by
day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
"20": Thou gavest also thy good spirit to
instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from
their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
"21": Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so
that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled
not.
"22": Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms
and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon,
and the land of Og king of
Bashan.
"23": Their children also multipliedst thou
as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the
land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their
fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
"24": So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the
Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with
their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they
would.
"25": And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed
houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards,
and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they
did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great
goodness.
"26": Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee,
and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which
testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great
provocations.
"27": Therefore thou deliveredst them into
the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble,
when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from
heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest
them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of
their enemies.
"28": But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee:
therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their
enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and
cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and
many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
"29": And testifiedst against them, that
thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they
dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy
judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the
shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
"30": Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst
against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear:
therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the
people of the lands.
"31": Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly
consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
"32": Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible
God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the
trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our
princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on
all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
"33": Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou
hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
"34": Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our
fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies,
wherewith thou didst testify against them.
"35": For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy
great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the
large and fat land which thou gavest before them,
neither turned they from their wicked works.
"36": Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the
good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
"37": And it yieldeth much increase unto
the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have
dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in
great distress.
"38": And because of all this we make a
sure covenant , and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests,
seal unto it.
Nehemiah , chapter
10
"28": And the rest of the people, the
priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims,
and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto
the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having
knowledge, and having understanding;
"29": They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a
curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the
servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Yehovah our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
"30": And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the
land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
"31": And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the
sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them
on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would
leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
"32": Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with
the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
"33": For the shewbread, and for the
continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the
holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for
all the work of the house of our God.
"34": And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the
people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the
houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar
of Yehovah our God, as it is written in the law:
"35": And to bring the firstfruits of our
ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all
trees, year by year, unto the house of Yehovah:
"36": Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is
written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring
to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our
God:
"37": And that we should bring the firstfruits
of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine
and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the
tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the
tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
"38": And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when
the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes
unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
"39": For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring
the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers,
where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the
porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God .
Nehemiah , chapter
11
"1": And the rulers of the people
dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten
to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.
"2": And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
"3": Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem:
but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his
possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and
the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's
servants.
Nehemiah , chapter
12
"27": And at the dedication of the
wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring
them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with
thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
"28": And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both
out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
"29": Also from the house of Gilgal, and
out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth:
for the singers had builded them villages round about
Jerusalem.
"30": And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and
purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
"31": Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and
appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the
right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
"32": And after them went Hoshaiah, and
half of the princes of Judah,
"33": And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
"34": Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah,
and Jeremiah,
"35": And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely,
Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah,
the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah,
the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
"36": And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani,
with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe
before them.
"37": And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they
went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above
the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
"38": And the other company of them that gave thanks went over
against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from
beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
"39": And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and
above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and
the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they
stood still in the prison gate.
"40": So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the
house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
"41": And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah,
and Hananiah, with trumpets;
"42": And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah,
and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and
Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
"43": Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for
God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children
rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
"44": And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the
treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits,
and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the
portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the
priests and for the Levites that waited.
"45": And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their
God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David,
and of Solomon his son.
"46": For in the days of David and Asaph of
old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto
God.
"47": And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel,
and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the
portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they
sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto
the children of Aaron.
Nehemiah , chapter
13
"1": On that day they read in the
book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written,
that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God
for ever;
"2": Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with
water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our
God turned the curse into a blessing.
"3": Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they
separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
"4": And before this, Eliashib the priest,
having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
"5": And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime
they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes
of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the
Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
"6": But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and
thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I
unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
"7": And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in
preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
"8": And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household
stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
"9": Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither
brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with
the meat offering and the frankincense.
"10": And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been
given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
"11": Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why
is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in
their place.
"12": Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine
and the oil unto the treasuries.
"13": And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah
the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites,
Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan
the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah:
for they were counted faithful, and their office was
to distribute unto their brethren.
"14": Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my
good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices
thereof.
"15": 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.
"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?
"18": 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.
"19": 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.
"20": So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without
Jerusalem once or twice.
"21": 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.
"22": 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.
"23": In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod,
of Ammon, and of Moab:
"24": And their children spake half in the
speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to
the language of each people.
"25": And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain
of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take
their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
"26": Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was
beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even
him did outlandish women cause to sin.
"27": Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this
great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
"28": And one of the sons of Joiada, the
son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore
I chased him from me.
"29": Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the
priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
"30": Thus cleansed I them from all
strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
"31": And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits.
Remember me, O my God, for good.
Shalom
