One in Messiah Congregation

We are now in the 2nd month of God called Ziv in Hebrew ( end of April / May ) 2006. This month is not called Iyyar as Judaism states.

The word Iyyar is not in the Hebrew scriptures.

1Kgs.6[1] And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif ( Ziv ) , which is the second month, בְּחֹדֶשׁ זִו, הוּא הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי that he began to build the house of the LORD.

Today, May 6th, 2006 is the 21th day from waving the sheaf ( עֹמֶר - o'mer ) , ( first fruits )

( the Messiah's resurrection, He is the First Fruits )

Lev.23[ 11] And he shall wave the sheaf ( עֹמֶר - o'mer ) before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

[15] And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath , from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete :[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. ( Feast of Weeks / Shavuot - Pentecost - where the Holy Spirit empowered the believers. )

Stand still, see and hear what the Lord will do

Exod.14[ 13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה אֶל־הָעָם, אַל־תִּירָאוּ־־ הִתְיַצְּבוּ וּרְאוּ אֶת־יְשׁוּעַת יְהוָה which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

Exod.23[ 10] And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:[ 11] But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still ; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.[12 ] Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

Num.9[ 8] And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם, מֹשֶׁה: עִמְדוּ וְאֶשְׁמְעָה, מַה־יְצַוֶּה יְהוָה לָכֶם

Josh.3 [8] And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.[9] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God. וְשִׁמְעוּ, אֶת־דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם

1Sam.9 [27] And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God. דְּבַר אֱלֹהִים

1Sam.12 [7] Now therefore stand still, הִתְיַצְּבוּ that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.

1Kgs.19[ 1] And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.[2] Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.[ 3] And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.[4 ] But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.[5 ] And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.[ 6] And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.[7] And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.[ 8] And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.[9] And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?[ 10] And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.[ 11] And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:[12] And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. קוֹל דְּמָמָה דַקָּה [ 13] And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?[ 14] And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.[ 15] And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:[16 ] And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.[17] And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
[
18] Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.[19 ] So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.[ 20] And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?[21] And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

2Chr.20[ 17] Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves , stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.[ 18] And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

Neh.8[ 11] So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.[ 12] And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

Job.37[ 14] Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Pss.4[ 1] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.[2 ] O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.[ 3] But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. [4] Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still . Selah. וְדֹמּוּ סֶלָה [5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.[ 6] There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.[ 7] Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.[ 8] I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Pss.46[ 1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.[2 ] Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;[ 3] Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.[ 4] There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.[5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.[6] The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.[ 7] The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.[8 ] Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.[9] He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.[ 10] Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. הַרְפּוּ וּדְעוּ, כִּי־אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהִים; אָרוּם בַּגּוֹיִם, אָרוּם בָּאָרֶץ ]11 ] The LORD of hosts is with us;the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ; מִשְׂגָּב־לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה

Pss.65[1 ] Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.[2 ] O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.[ 3] Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.[ 4] Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.[ 5] By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:[ 6] Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:[7] Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
[8] They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.[ 9] Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.[ 10] Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.[11 ] Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.[12] They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.[ 13] The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Pss.89 [9] Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Pss.107[ 29] He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Pss.23[1 ] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.[ 2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.[4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.[5 ] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.[ 6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Mark.4[ 36] And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.[37 ] And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.[38 ] And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?[ 39] And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.[39] And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.[ 40] And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

A different kind of " still "

Rev.22[1 ] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.[ 2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.[3 ] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:[ 4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.[5 ] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.[6] And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.[7] Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
[
8] And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
[
9] Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.[ 10] And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.[ 11] He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.[12 ] And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.[13 ] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.[14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.[ 15] For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.[16] I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.[ 17] And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.[ 18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:[ 19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.[20 ] He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus. / Yeshua !!!
