שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

Let’s pray

--------------------------------------------

Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s,

July 1, 2017 - in the 21 Century

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.

-----------------

We acknowledge God’s calendar

We are now in:

The 4^th month of God which has no name, 6^th day

Judaism calls the 4^th month Tammuz which is not in the Hebrew Bible nor is scriptural

Ezek.8 [ 14] Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Yehovah's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz - ( pagan deity ) מְבַכּוֹת אֶת־הַ תַּמּוּז

Also a Sumerian deity of food or vegetation, a Phoenician deity

Today’s topic:

Be stedfast, have faith in God

Stedfast:

fixed in direction; steadily directed:

a steadfast gaze, firm in purpose, resolution, faith, attachment, unwavering, as resolution, adherence, firmly established, as an institution or a state of affairs, firmly fixed in place or position.

קַיָּם

kah -yâm (Chaldee); permanent (a rising firmly): - stedfast, sure.

יָצַק

yâtsaq - A primitive root; properly to pour out (transitively or intransitively); by implication to melt or cast as metal; by extension to place firmly, to stiffen or grow hard: - cast, cleave fast, be (as) firm, grow, be hard, lay out, molten, overflow, pour (out), run out, set down, stedfast.

βέβαιος – bebaios - beb'-ah-yos - stable (literally or figuratively): - firm, of force, stedfast, sure.

Be stedfast

Dan. 6 [26] I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for He is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end.

Acts 2 [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

1 Cor. 15 [58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Col. 2 [5] For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Messiah.

Heb. 3 [14] For we are made partakers of Messiah if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

2 Pet. 3 [17] Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

Faith

56 time in TaNaKh

304 times in the Gospels and Letters

Hab.2 [4] … but the just shall live by his faith.

Rom.1[17] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Romans 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21: but now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Yeshua the Messiah unto all and upon all the that believe: For there is no difference:

23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God:

24: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Yeshua the Messiah:

25: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation throught faith in his blood,

to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26: To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Yeshua.

27: Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? (sacrifice) Nay: but by the law of faith (in his blood)

28: therefore we conclude that a an is justified by faith without the deeds of the law (sacrifice).

Rom.5 [1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah:
[2] By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

[3] And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
[4] And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
[5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

-----------------

Rom.11 [13] For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

[14] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
[15] For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
[16] For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
[17] And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou (you Gentiles), being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
[18] Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
[19] Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

[20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
[21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

[22] Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if you continue in His goodness: otherwise thou(you Gentiles) also shalt be cut off.

[23] And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

[24] For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

[25] For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

[26] And so all Israel(that will be saved) shall be saved: as it is written,

There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

2Sam.22 [2] And he said, Yehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my Deliverer;

Pss.18 [2] Yehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Pss.40 [17] But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my Deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Pss.70 [5] But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my Deliverer; Yehovah, make no tarrying.

Pss.144 [1] Blessed be Yehovah my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: [2] My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my Deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Back to Rom.11

[27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

[28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

[29] For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

[30] For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
[31] Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
[32] For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
[33] O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
[34] For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?
[35] Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto Him again?
[36] For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

2Cor.1…for by faith ye stand.

2Cor.5 [7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Gal.3 [11] But that no man is justified (Now that Yeshua has come) by the law (Levitical priesthood, animal sacrifices) in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. (In Yeshua’s blood for forgiveness of sins)

[22] But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Yeshua the Messiah might be given to them that believe.

[24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.

[26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Messiah Yeshua.

Eph. 3

[14] For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah,
[15] Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
[16] That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
[17] That Messiah may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
[18] May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
[19] And to know the love of Messiah, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
[20] Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
[21] Unto him be glory in the church by Messiah Yeshua throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Phil.3

[1] Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
[2] Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
[3] For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Messiah Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh.
[4] Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
[5] Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
[6] Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
[7] But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Messiah.
[8] Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Messiah Yeshua my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Messiah,
[9] And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Messiah, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
[10] That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
[11] If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Heb.10 [38] Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

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,

eing 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;
