שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם

 

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

The date is October 16, 2021

 

October - the eighth month - (now the 10th month)

Middle English octobre
Latin October
Latin 
octo "eight" + -ber (adj. suffix)
Latin 
october mensis "eighth month" - October has always had 31 days.

 

Yehovah has His own calendar which is deleted from the world 

We are in the eighth month of God called Bul /Bool   בּוּל  day 9

1Kgs.6 [38]… in the month Bul, which is the eighth month

not Heshvan or Mar Heshvan – as Judaism states falsely

Marheshvan - Heshvan are names of the 8th month found in the Talmud not the Hebrew Bible…

Today’s topic:

Being Holy in an unholy world

 

Holiness to Yehovah     קֹ֖דֶשׁ לַֽיהוָֽה

קֹדֶשׁ kodesh Meaning:  1) apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness 1a) apartness, sacredness, holiness 1a1) of God 1a2) of places 1a3) of things 1b) set-apartness, separateness to God…

 

קָדַשׁ ka-dash

A primitive root; to be (causatively make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally): - appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, (be, keep) holy (-er, place), keep, prepare, proclaim, purify, sanctify (-ied one, self), wholly.

 

I know this topic is out of style today but being Holy and Holiness is all through the Scriptures.

 

Here are a few verses for today; I left out some of the chapters and verse numbers…

 

Dan.4

[13] I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven…

[17] This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will, and sets up over it the basest of men.

 

Aramaic (Hebrew)

  קַדִּ֣ישׁ holy one 

  קַדִּישִׁ֖ין plural - holy ones

 

Rom.1

[4] …the Son of God Yeshua (came) with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead…

Rom.6

[19] I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; 

even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

[22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

2Cor.7

[1] Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Eph.4

[24] … that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

1Thes.3

[12] …the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:[13] To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah with all his saints.

 

1Thes.4

[7] For God have not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Tit.2

[3] The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things…

Remember, tis the season to be pagan” is coming, and already in some stores!

I am reminded again to inform you to beware of the false image of love, false emotions, loneliness, depression, financial drain, suicide and the artificial false festival lights they put up.

Satan really sets the stage for you.

Some Pagan religions are having classes at their facilities to address these (false) issues.

Beware if you feel or hear a voice telling you to separate yourself from the congregation, go off on your own and read or whatever…

Some do made up Fallfest, Fall Festival, look it up, you will be surprised

 

If people would look this up:

The origin of Halloween is the Celtic Festival of Samhain, lord of death and evil spirits.

 

Once upon a time, Halloween was banned - Halloween was not celebrated in this country until 1845

 

Once upon a time, Christmas was banned in 1659 in the new land know as America

NRF | Halloween Spending Soars as Celebrations Near Pre-Pandemic Levels

**Remember this is all made up L

Halloween Consumer Spending and Celebration Plans

Consumer spending on Halloween-related items is expected to reach an all-time high of $10.14 billion, up from $8.05 billion in 2020, according to the National Retail Federation’s annual survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics. Plans to celebrate Halloween are up this year compared with last and are close to pre-pandemic levels.

“Americans plan to spend more than ever to make this Halloween a memorable one,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Retailers have implemented a number of measures, such as bringing in Halloween products earlier than normal, to ensure their shelves are stocked with seasonal candy, décor and other items ahead of this important holiday.”

An estimated 65 percent of Americans intend to celebrate Halloween or participate in Halloween activities this year, up from 58 percent in 2020 and comparable with 68 percent in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. Households with children are much more likely to celebrate Halloween (82 percent) than those without (55 percent).

The top ways consumers are planning to celebrate include handing out candy (66 percent), decorating their home or yard (52 percent), dressing in costumes (46 percent), carving a pumpkin (44 percent) and hosting or attending a party (25 percent).

With more Americans celebrating Halloween this year, average spending is also up. On average consumers plan to spend $102.74 on costumes, candy, decorations and greeting cards — $10 more than they planned to spend last year.

Households with children are estimated to spend more than twice the amount than households without children ($149.69 compared with $73.57) on Halloween items. The number of Americans planning to decorate for Halloween is on par with last year’s spike in interest, with spending on decorations continuing to climb to $3.17 billion, up from last year’s $2.59 billion.

Total spending on costumes is the highest it has been since 2017 at $3.32 billion.

This year consumers are shopping for Halloween items earlier than ever, with 45 percent planning to shop in September or earlier and another 39 percent during the first two weeks of October.

“This year in particular, we see an emphasis on Halloween spending from families,” Prosper Insights Executive Vice President of Strategy Phil Rist said. “Not only are those with children intending to spend more on Halloween-related items like costumes, they are also getting a kick start on their shopping, with more than half planning to start their shopping in September or earlier.”

Interest in pet costumes remains high with one in five intending to dress their pet up for Halloween this year. Younger adults are more likely to dress their pets in costume, as 28 percent of those aged 18–24 and 30 percent of those aged 25–34 plan to do so.

Costumes Ranked: Children 

More than 1.8 million children plan to dress as Spiderman, more than 1.6 million as their favorite princess, more than 1.2 million as Batman and more than 1.2 million will dress as one of their other favorite superheroes.

Costumes Ranked: Adults

Of those planning to dress up for Halloween, nearly 69 percent of adults already know what their costume will be this year.

More than 4.6 million adults plan to dress like a witch,

more than 1.6 million as a vampire,

and more than 1.4 million as a ghost

more than 1.1 million as a cat

and another 1.1 million as a pirate.

Costumes Ranked: Pets

The most popular costumes for pet lovers include a pumpkin (10 percent), hot dog (5 percent), superhero or cat (each tied at 4 percent) and bumblebee (3 percent).

The survey asked 8,061 consumers about Halloween shopping plans. It was conducted September 1-8 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.1 percentage points.
