Shabbat Shalom
Let’s pray
Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s
Today is September 22, 2018 - in the 21 Century
September -- the seventh month – (now the 9th month)
Middle English septembre
Latin September
Latin septem "seven" + -ber (adj. suffix)
Latin september mensis "seventh month"
September had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.
Summer is over, First day of Autumn September, 22 – is Tomorrow
Yehovah has His own calendar:
We are now in the 7th month called “ha Ethanim, 11th day
Here is one simple verse below to prove it is the 7th month not New Year, Rosh Hashanah, 5779, and it is called ha Ethanim not Tishrei, which is not found in the Hebrew Bible.
1 Kgs.8 [2] And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
This verse proves: It is not New Year nor head of the year, Rosh ha Shannah nor when the world was created nor Adam’s birthday.
All made up in Judaism.
Exod.23 [16] … and the feast of ingathering, which is in (at, going to) the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

Halloween was not celebrated in this
country until 1845
Once upon a time, Christmas, X mass was banned in 1659
in America
Back to:
History
of Halloween: The origin of Halloween is the Celtic Festival of Samhain (sow win), lord of
death and evil spirits.
A modern dictionary:
Samhain (sah win)
an ancient Celtic festival held on Nov. 1 - It marked the beginning of winter
and the beginning of a new year. It is today
celebrated by modern pagans
Halloween - Also called All Hallows Eve, All Saints' Eve, , Samhain, Hallowed End
Halloween started 2,000 years ago in Celtic Ireland, which is now Great Britain , France , and Ireland .
The Celtic New Year was celebrated on November 1 st . New Years Eve, or All Hallows Eve, was called “Samhain.” All Hallows Eve is the name from
which Halloween originated. Samhain was the most important holiday of the year.
On this day summer officially ended, and it
was believed that spirits of people who had died that year came back to the
world of the living looking for a body to possess for the following year.
On Samhain all of the people who lived in
Celtic Ireland would put out their hearth fires in order to frighten the
spirits. The town would also have a noisy parade and ghoulish costumes would be worn to scare away the spirits from possessing someone's
body
Thanksgiving - George
Washington proclaimed a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789 – thank what god, no god, whatever…
Kwanzaa - Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of
African Americans.
Christmas – XMAS - Once Upon A
Time, Christmas Was Banned in 1659 in America
The following is a quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 11; page 390.
"During the later periods of Roman history, sun worship gained in
importance and ultimately led to what has been called a 'solar monotheism.'
Nearly all the gods of the period were possessed of Solar qualities, and
both Christ and Mithra acquired the traits, they say.
The feast of Sol and Victus (open unconquered Sun) on December 25th was celebrated with great joy, and eventually
this date was taken over by the pseudo Christians as Christmas, the birthday of
their Christ.
The pseudo Christians were trying to get more converts so they adapted a
pagan holiday to their worship to appease the pagans in 336 AD.
The Encyclopedia Britannica reports that
"The traditional customs connected with Christmas have developed from
several sources as a result of the coincidence of the celebration of the birth
of Christ with the pagan agricultural and solar observations at midwinter. In
the Roman world the Saturnalia (December 17)
was a time of merrymaking and exchange of gifts. December 25 was also regarded as the
birth date of the Iranian mystery god Mithra, the Sun
of Righteousness."
Colliers Encyclopedia agrees. Quote: "After the triumph of Constantine, the church at Rome
assigned December 25 as the date for the celebration of the feast, possibly
about A.D. 320 or 353. By the end of the fourth century the whole pseudo
Christian world was celebrating Christmas on that day, with the exception of
the Eastern churches, where it was celebrated on January
6.
The choice of December 25 was probably influenced by the
fact that on this day the Romans celebrated the Mithraic feast of the Sun-god (natalis solis invicti), and that the Saturnalia also came at this time."
Both encyclopedias plainly reveal that the source of the
celebration of December 25 is the birthday of Mithras, the pagan sun god.
Sun worshippers since the time of Babel recognized this
time of year in honor of their gods.
1st century believers, taught
personally by Christ, did not celebrate His birthday.
2nd century theologians
condemned the thought.
Only after severe persecution, destruction and inaccessibility of
biblical scripture and the blending of pagan doctrine with the worship of God
was the Mithraic celebration of December 25th
proclaimed to be "Christian" in nature.
These facts are well documented. They can be found in any encyclopedia.
There is no way to "Christianize" the birthday of the sun
god. Anyone with access to a computer with an internet
connection, or an encyclopedia can know better than those with theological
degrees of yesteryear!
Oh well…
Agree to disagree on made up feasts? NO!
We are commanded by Yah - Learn not the way of the heathen
Scripture
says:
Jer. 16 [19] Yehovah, my strength, and my fortress,
and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from
the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our
fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Jer.10 [1] Hear ye
the word which Yehovah speaketh unto you, O house of
Israel:[2] Thus saith Yehovah, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed
at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
[3] For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the axe.
[4] They deck it with silver and
with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not.
[5] They are upright as the palm
tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because
they cannot go.
Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also
is it in them to do good.
Isa. 5 [20] Woe unto them that call:
evil good,
and good evil;
that put darkness for light,
and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!
[21] Woe unto them
that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
[22] Woe unto them
that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
[23] Which justify the
wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him.
-------------------------
Peter says - 1Pet.4
[1] Forasmuch then as Messiah hath
suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for
he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
[2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God.
[3] For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of
the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and
abominable idolatries:
[4] Wherein they think it strange that ye run not
with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
[5] Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the
quick and the dead.
I am
reminded always 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 with artificial light, music and decorations.
Beware
if you feel or hear a voice telling you to separate yourself from the
congregation, go off on your own and read, study or whatever.
Many stores started selling Halloween trash in August and September,

Agree to disagree?
Tolerance
Political correctness,
On any false thing
NO!
Amos.3 [3] Can two walk
together, except they be agreed?
Agree to disagree with unbelievers? NO!
2 Cor. 6:14Be ye not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?
[15] And what concord hath Messiah with Belial?
Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
[16] And what agreement hath the temple
of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God;
as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be
their God, and they shall be my people.
[17] Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith Yehovah, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
[18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, saith Yehovah Almighty.
Agree to disagree with all doctrines? NO!
1Tim.1 [3] As I
besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no
other doctrine,[4] Neither give heed to fables
and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly
edifying which is in faith: so do.
2 John1 [10] If there come any unto
you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: [11] For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
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. [18] For they that are such serve not our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the
simple
Eph.5 [11] And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Tit.1 [10] For there are many unruly and vain
talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
[11] Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's
sake.
[12] One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said,
The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
[13] This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the faith;
[14] Not giving heed to Jewish
fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
I
always find it amazing that statistics and data are always compiled for such
fraudulent causes that have no realistic value.

Exod.32 one calf
[1] And when the people saw that
Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves
together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before
us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
we wot not what is become of him.
[2] And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings,
which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons,
and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
[3] And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their
ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
[4] And he received them at
their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool,
after he had made it a molten calf :
and they said,
These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of
the land of Egypt.
[5] And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and
Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to Yehovah .
[6] And they rose up early on
the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the
people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
[7] And Yehovah said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which
thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
[8] They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded
them: they have made them a molten calf, and
have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods,
O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
[9] And Yehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it
is a stiffnecked people:
[10] Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them,
and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
[11] And Moses besought Yehovah his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against
thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great
power, and with a mighty hand?
[12] Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the
mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce
wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
[13] Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of
heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and
they shall inherit it for ever.
[14] And Yehovah repented
of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
[15] And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables
of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides;
on the one side and on the other were they written.
[16] And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the
writing of God, graven upon the tables.
[17] And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he
said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
[18] And he said, It is not the voice of
them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being
overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
[19] And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing :
and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake
them beneath the mount.
[20] And he took the calf which they had
made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
[21] And Moses said unto Aaron,
What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
[22] And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my
lord wax hot: thou knowest the
people, that they are set on mischief.
[23] For they said unto me, Make us gods, which
shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up
out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
[24] And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me:
then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
[25] And when Moses saw that
the people were naked ; ( for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their
enemies: )
[26] Then Moses stood in the
gate of the camp, and said, Who is on Yehovah's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him.
[27] And he said unto them, Thus saith Yehovah God of
Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to
gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his
companion, and every man his neighbour.
[28] And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and
there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
[29] For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to Yehovah, even
every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a
blessing this day.
[30] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people,
Ye have sinned a great sin : and now I will go up unto Yehovah; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
[31] And Moses returned unto Yehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of
gold.
[32] Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--;
and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
[33] And Yehovah said unto Moses , Whosoever
hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of
my book.
[34] Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have
spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the
day when I visit I will visit their sin
upon them.
[35] And Yehovah plagued
the people, because
they made the calf , which
Aaron made.

A "False" feast in the eighth month, Bul pronounced
Bool
1Kgs.12 two calves - sin
[1 ] And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make
him king.
[2 ] And it
came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was
fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
[3 ] That they
sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
[4 ] Thy father
made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy
father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve
thee.
[5 ] And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again
to me. And the people departed.
[6 ] And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men , that stood before Solomon his
father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this
people?
[7 ] And they spake unto him, saying, If thou
wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer
them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
[8 ] But he forsook
the counsel of the old men, which
they had given him, and consulted
with the young men that were grown up with
him, and which stood before him:
[9 ] And he
said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have
spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?
[10 ] And the young men that were
grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy
father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My
little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
[11 ] And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will
add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise
you with scorpions.
[12 ] So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed,
saying, Come to me again the third day.
[13 ] And the
king answered the people roughly, and forsook
the old men's counsel that they gave him;
[14 ] And spake to them after the counsel of the young men , saying, My father made your
yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with
whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
[15 ] Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause
was from Yehovah, that he
might perform his saying, which Yehovah spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
[16 ] So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the
people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to
your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their
tents.
[17 ] But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of
Judah, Rehoboam reigned
over them.
[18 ] Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones,
that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
[19 ] So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
[20 ] And it
came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they
sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel:
there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
[21 ] And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with
the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were
warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son
of Solomon.
[22 ] But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
[23 ] Speak unto
Rehoboam, the son
of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to
the remnant of the people, saying,
[24 ] Thus saith Yehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your
brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing
is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of Yehovah, and returned to depart, according to the word
of Yehovah.
[25] Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went
out from thence, and built Penuel.
[26] And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the
kingdom return to the house of David:
[27] If this people go up to do
sacrifice in the house of Yehovah at Jerusalem , then shall the heart of this people turn again
unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of
Judah.
[28] Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of
gold , and said unto them, It is too
much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy
gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of
the land of Egypt.
[29] And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put
he in Dan.
[30] And this thing became a sin : for the people went to worship
before the one, even unto Dan .
[31] And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the
lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
[32] And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day
of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah ( feast of Tabernacles - 7th month ), and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had
made.
[33] So he offered
upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt
incense.
Your sins will follow you
2 Kgs.10 [29] Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin,
Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the
golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
2 Kgs.17 [16] And they left all the commandments of Yehovah their God, and made them molten
images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and
served Baal.
2 Chr.11 [14]
For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and
Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing
the priest's office unto Yehovah:[ 15]
And he ordained him priests for the high places, and
for the devils, and for the calves which he had made .
2 Chr.13 [8] And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Yehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great
multitude, and there are with you golden calves,
which Jeroboam made you for gods.
-------------------------------------
Because everyone is doing something, you should do it?
Exod.23 [2] Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil
3 John.1 [11] Beloved, follow not that which is
evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth
evil hath not seen God.
It is high time to "wake up"
Paul said - Rom.13 [11] And that, knowing the time, that now it is
high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we
believed.
[12] The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast
off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
[13] Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
[14] But put ye on the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
1John.5 [21] Little children, keep yourselves from
idols. Amen

In
closing: Please don’t kiss the calves
We will be in God’s feast - the feast
of tabernacles – see you then J
One last verse:
Ezek.33 [30] Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are
talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one
to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what
is the word that cometh forth from Yehovah.
[31] And they come unto thee as the
people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words,
but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
[32] And, lo,
thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one
that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they
hear thy words, but they do them not.
[33] And when this cometh to pass, (lo,
it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet
hath been among them.
Make a stand!
Also remember; be aware of
false teachers that copy each other such as:
Judaism, Messianics that follow Judaism, Messianics
that follow Karaites, Protestant Gentile teachers
that follow Messianics that follow Karaites or Judaism
Follow Yeshua the Messiah
-------------------
“Tis the
season to be pagan” is all around us!
I am reminded always to inform you to beware of the false image of love, false
emotions, loneliness, depression, financial drain, suicide.
Be aware of the artificial,
false festival lights and music they put up.
Satan really sets the stage for you.
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.
Be Aware of: Judaism, Messianics
that follow Judaism, Messianics that follow Karaites, Protestant Gentile
teachers that follow Messianics that follow Karaites or Judaism and forsake Messiah, the only means of atonement
Be safe!
Shabbat Shalom
Soon, The Feast of Tabernacles
