Today
we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is January 11th, 2014
January -- Janus's
month
Middle English Januarie
Latin Januarius "of Janus"
Latin Janu(s) "Janus" + -arius "ary
(pertaining to)"
Latin Januarius mensis "month of Janus"
Janus is
the Roman god of gates and doorways, depicted with two faces looking in
opposite directions. His festival month is January.
Januarius had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days
long.
------------------
Yehovah
has His own calendar
We are now in the
eleventh month, which is the month Sebat /Sh'vat day 9
Zech.1[7] Upon the four and
twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the
month Sebat, in the second year of Darius,
came the word of Yehovah unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah,
the son of Iddo the prophet….

Last week’s study was:
A self test for a person of the God of
Israel
A family that is of the God of Israel is a true light of the world
2Cor.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 is in you,
except ye be reprobates?
A teaching by Yeshua
Matt.6 – give alms, pray and fast the right way
Matt.7 Ask, seek and knock …. And much more
As most
people know, I hardly ever give studies on tithing only because it seems to be their
main topic of most of the pseudo churches out there.
Tithing is a
commandment of God, and we all should be able to give something to the living God.
-----------------
Today’s Topic:
Attributes and behavior of the people that are of the God of Israel
Scripture
tells us we are supposed to let our light shine before men, that they may see
our good works, and glorify our father which is in heaven.
Matt.5 [13] Ye are the salt of the
earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good
for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
[14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid.
[15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in
the house.
[16] Let your
light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your
Father which is in heaven.
If you are delinquent or in debt, how are you a light of the word?
1John.2[21] I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth,
but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the
truth.
------------
We, as people
of the God of Israel are not supposed to be delinquent in any bill or any
matter.
We are not supposed to break contracts,
example:
We are not supposed to buy houses, cars,
phones and whatever and don’t make the payments.
Consider that
repossessions and foreclosures that you incur are not of the God of Israel, by
doing so; you are not true lights of the world. You are actually sending a
message that you are as evil as the rest of the people in the world because it
is stealing and lying.
Simply put,
we are not supposed to live beyond our means. When you live beyond your means
that is a form of coveting, lusting and desiring to have something you can’t
afford. In short, if you can’t pay for it, don’t buy it. I’m trying to make
this study as simple as I can.
Everyone
should have a budget of where every dollar you make goes.
It’s not any
more complicated than that.
When you
don’t make the payments for something that you purchased, that is a form of
lying and stealing because you are still using the services or the items
without making the payments and they
are still in your possession. Also you agreed to make the payments and you are
not, so you are lying.
Remember, Godly counsel is always available.
As you can
see by the statements above, these people are not true lights of the world,
they are actually a stench in the eyes of God.
People
that say they are the God of Israel, and they live separate one from another,
as a wife from a husband or a husband
from a wife, they are deceived because the Scriptures below show that if you
are married in the God of Israel, you are “ONE” in all things.
--------------
There are no
such things as separate bank accounts, separate money, separate cars, neither
separates appliances nor any other item when you are married in the God of
Israel.
When you are
married and have separate bank accounts it tells the world that you don’t trust
each other and that you don’t plan to stay married.
There is also
a trend in the world that when some people get married, the woman wants to keep
her maiden name, this is not a good testimony as a believer in the God of
Israel. People you meet will assume that you are just living together and how
can you be one when you have two last names?
When you are
married in the God of Israel, the two of you become one and you should live as
one, not separate.
A few examples of whatever you join yourself to, you become ONE with it.
Gen.2[24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh.
1Cor.7 [39] The wife is bound by the law as long
as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be
married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Matt.19[5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain
(two) shall be one flesh?[6] Wherefore
they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath
joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mark.10[6] But from the beginning of the creation God made them male
and female.
[7] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave
to his wife;
[8] And they twain (two) shall be one flesh:
so then they are no more twain(two), but one flesh.
Even when
you are evil
1Cor.6[15] Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Messiah? shall I then take the members of Messiah, and make them the
members of an harlot? God forbid.
[16] What? know ye
not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for
two, saith he, shall be one flesh.[17] But he that is joined unto the Lord is
one spirit.
----------------------------
Some
wives think they are supposed to run the family and that they are the head of
the family. This is not scriptural.
In a
godly family, that is the God of Israel, the husband is humbly responsible and
the head of the family.
The husband is the head of the wife
Eph.5[23] For the husband is the head of
the wife, even as Messiah is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
[24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Messiah, so
let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
[25] Husbands, love your wives,
even as Messiah also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
[26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by
the word,
[27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish.
[28] So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
[29] For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth
and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
[30] For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
[31] For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be
one flesh.
[32] This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Messiah and the
church.
[33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife
even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence
her husband.
1Pet.3
[1]
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without (Gentiles) the word be won by the
conversation of the wives;
[2] While
they behold your (Godly people) chaste
conversation coupled with fear.
[3] Whose
adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
[4] But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is
not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the
sight of God of great price.
[5] For after this
manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
[6] Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord:
whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with
any amazement.
[7]
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as
unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that
your prayers be not hindered.
[8] Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of
another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:[9] Not rendering evil for
evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are
thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
-----------------------
A
husband, that joined himself to the God of Israel, is responsible and the head
of the wife and family.
[1] And Moses
spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Yehovah hath commanded.
[2] If a man vow
a vow unto Yehovah, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not
break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth
out of his mouth.
[3] If a woman also vow a vow unto Yehovah, and bind herself by a bond,
being in her father's house in her youth;
[4] And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound
her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
[5] But if her
father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not
any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath
bound her soul, shall stand: and Yehovah shall forgive her, because her father
disallowed her.
[6] And if she
had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips,
wherewith she bound her soul;
[7] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that
he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
[8] But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he
heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she
uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and
Yehovah shall forgive her.
[9] But every vow
of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls,
shall stand against her.
[10] And if she
vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
[11] And her husband heard it,
and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
[12] But if
her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then
whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the
bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and Yehovah
shall forgive her.
[13] Every
vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it,
or her husband may make it void.
[14] But if
her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon
her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at
her in the day that he heard them.
[15] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them;
then he shall bear her iniquity.
[16] These are the
statutes, which Yehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between
the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
----------------------
Here are a few things that we are told
to avoid by the Scriptures
Rom.16 [17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark
them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and avoid them.
1Tim.6 [20] O Timothy, keep that which is
committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of
science falsely so called:
2Tim.2 [23] But foolish and unlearned questions
avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
Tit.3 [9] But avoid
foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the
law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
------------------
It’s a shame
that we are all brought up with the thought it is normal to be in debt. It is
almost un-American if you don’t have a car loan, student loan or mortgage on
your home.
Just
think how the past pseudo holidays just amplified the financial strain on many families.
Presently, you are in the position you’re in because of the
decisions you made in the past and you have to live with it. You cannot just
stop paying your bills because you think you got swindled or any other
justification that you can come up with. Remember, you agreed and signed that
contract.
Let’s read on to verify these statements above.
Prov. 22 [7]... the borrower is servant to the lender
Rom. 13 [8] Owe no man
any thing...
Pss.
37 [21] The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again:
but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
Prov. 22 [7] The rich ruleth over the poor, and
the borrower is servant to the lender.
Prov. 22 [26] Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts
[27] If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from
under thee?
-------------
Thou shalt lend unto many nations (the heathen), and thou shalt not borrow.
-----------
Deut. 28 [12] Yehovah shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
-----------
Deut. 28 [1] And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken
diligently unto the voice of Yehovah thy God, to observe and to do all his
commandments which I command thee this day, that Yehovah thy God will set thee
on high above all nations of the earth:
[2] And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if
thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yehovah thy God.
[3] Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the
field.
[4] Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground,
and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine,
and the flocks of thy sheep.
[5] Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
[6] Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in,
and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
[7] Yehovah shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be
smitten before thy face: they shall come out against
thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
[8] Yehovah shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and
in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he
shall bless thee in the land which Yehovah thy God giveth thee.
[9] Yehovah shall establish thee an holy people
unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments
of Yehovah thy God, and walk in his ways.
[10] And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the
name of Yehovah; and they shall be afraid of thee.
[11] And Yehovah shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy
body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the
land which Yehovah sware unto thy fathers to give
thee.
[12] Yehovah shall open unto thee his good treasure, the
heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work
of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not
borrow.
[13] And Yehovah shall make thee the head, and not the
tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou
hearken unto the commandments of Yehovah thy God, which I command thee this
day, to observe and to do them:
--------------
[14] And thou shalt not go aside from any of the
words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go
after other gods to serve them.
[15] But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice
of Yehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes
which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and
overtake thee:
[16] Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the
field.
[17] Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
[18] Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land,
the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy
sheep.
[19] Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in,
and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
[20] Yehovah shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all
that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until
thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of
thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
[21] Yehovah shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to
possess it.
[22] Yehovah shall smite thee with a consumption,
and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and
with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee
until thou perish.
[23] And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth
that is under thee shall be iron.
[24] Yehovah shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from
heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be
destroyed.
[25] Yehovah shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou
shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt
be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
[26] And thy carcase shall be meat unto all
fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them
away.
[27] Yehovah will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou
canst not be healed.
[28] Yehovah shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and
astonishment of heart:
[29] And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth
in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only
oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
[30] Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou
shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell
therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
[31] Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat
thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep
shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
[32] Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and
thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
[33] The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours,
shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and
thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
[34] So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou
shalt see.
[35] Yehovah shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore
botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy
head.
[36] Yehovah shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have
known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
[37] And thou shalt become an astonishment, a
proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither Yehovah shall lead thee.
[38] Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but
little in; for the locust shall consume it.
[39] Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink
of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
[40] Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou
shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
[41] Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them;
for they shall go into captivity.
[42] All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
[43] The stranger that is within thee shall get up
above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very
low.
[44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the
head, and thou shalt be the tail.
(These curses)
[45] Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Yehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
[46] And they shall be upon thee for a sign and
for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
[47] Because thou servedst not Yehovah thy God with
joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
[48] Therefore shalt thou serve thine
enemies which Yehovah shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in
nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy
neck, until he have destroyed thee.
[49] Yehovah shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of
the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation
whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
[50] A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person
of the old, nor shew favour
to the young:
[51] And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy
land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn,
wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks
of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
[52] And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and
fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst,
throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout
all thy land, which Yehovah thy God hath given thee.
[53] And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy
sons and of thy daughters, which Yehovah thy God hath given thee, in the siege,
and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall
distress thee:
[54] So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his
eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and
toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
[55] So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his
children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and
in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall
distress thee in all thy gates.
[56] The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure
to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness,
her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and
toward her daughter,
[57] And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and
toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of
all things secretly in the siege and straitness,
wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
[58] If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are
written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name,
YEHOVAH THY GOD;
[59] Then Yehovah will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of
thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and
of long continuance.
[60] Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which
thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
[61] Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the
book of this law, them will Yehovah bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
[62] And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of
heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey
the voice of Yehovah thy God.
[63] And it shall come to pass, that as Yehovah rejoiced over you to do
you good, and to multiply you; so Yehovah will rejoice over you to destroy you,
and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked
from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
[64] And Yehovah shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end
of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
[65] And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the
sole of thy foot have rest: but Yehovah shall give thee there a trembling
heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
[66] And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear
day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
[67] In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and
for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
[68] And Yehovah shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the
way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye
shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy
you.
---------------
We read also in Nehemiah
Neh. 5 [1] And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
[2] For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. (Very sad)
[3] Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
[4] There were also that said, We
have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and
vineyards.
---------------
The way we were brought up, (without the God of Israel)
makes this another hard study to understand and receive.
I know after this study, many people will be upset at me
again, however I can only tell you the truth, believe the scriptures!
If anyone is guilty after they have read this study, let
your consciences convict you and repent, instead of getting angry in your own
spirit.
God gives good commandments that give
you solid direction to make choices in your lives that will keep you from
the consequences of bad decisions.
Shabbat Shalom
