Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope
Gregory; from the 1500’s
Today is July 21, 2018 - in the 21 Century
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 Yehovah’s calendar
We are now in the 5th month, day 7 – This month has no scriptural name.
It is not Av as Judaism and some Messianics say it is.

Today’s Topic
Beware of the temptations
of this world
Saul tells us:
1
John 2 [15] Love not the world, neither the
things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
[16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
[17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever.
This short
study below is pertaining to borrowing
from the heathen, people not of the Israel of God, not
your brother or sister.
The way we were brought up, to be in
debt (and without the God of Israel) makes this another hard study to understand
and receive.
The world says,
it is almost un-American not to be in debt or have a loan or a mortgage.
Should we be in debt to
people not of the God of Israel? NO!
Prov. 22 [7]... the borrower is servant to the lender
Rom. 13 [8] Owe no man any thing...
We are commanded by Yehovah:
Thou shalt lend unto many nations (the heathen), and thou shalt not borrow.
Deut. 15 [6] For Yehovah thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow;
and thou shalt reign over many nations,but they
shall not reign over thee.
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:
nd 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.
[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.
This happened in Nehemiah’s time and all though
time
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.
[5] Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children
as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to
be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already:
neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and
vineyards.
[6] And I was very angry when I heard
their cry and these words.
[7] Then I consulted with myself,
and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and
said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his
brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
[8] And I said unto them, We after our
ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen;
and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be
sold unto us?
Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
[9] Also I said, It is not good that ye
do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the
heathen our enemies?
[10] I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of
them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this
usury.
[11] Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands,
their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses,
also the the hundredth part of the money, and of the
corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
[12] Then said they, We will restore them,
and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest.
Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do
according to this promise.
[13] Also I shook my lap, and said, So God
shake out every man from his house, and from his labour,
that performeth not this promise, even thus be he
shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation
said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
[14] Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their
governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and
thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is,
twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
[15] But the former governors that had been before me were
chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty
shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so
did not I, because of the fear of God.
[16] Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought
we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.
[17] Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the
Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are
about us.
[18] Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six
choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of
all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor,
because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
[19] Think upon me, my God, for good,
according to all that I have done for this people.
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.
Now, a few scriptures pertaining to borrowing from your
brother or sister which is a different story.
Exod.22 [25]
If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
Lev.25 [35] And if
thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a
sojourner; that he may live with thee.
[36] Take thou no usury of him, or
increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
[37] Thou shalt
not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Deut.23 [19]
Thou shalt not
lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury
of any thing that is lent upon usury:
[20]
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury;
but unto thy brother thou shalt
not lend upon usury: that Yehovah
thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest
to possess it.
Deut.24 [10]
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing,
thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his
pledge.[11] Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge
abroad unto thee. [12] And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
[13] In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless
thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Yehovah
thy God.
Pss.112 [5]
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will
guide his affairs with discretion.
In closing:
We see there
are many lessons to learn in scripture
Matt.19 [16] And, behold, one came and
said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I
do, that I may have eternal life?
[17] And he said unto him, Why callest
thou me good? there is none good but one, that is,
God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
[18] He saith unto him, Which?
Yeshua said, Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt
not commit adultery,
Thou shalt
not steal,
Thou shalt
not bear false witness,
[19] Honour thy father and thy mother:
and,
Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself.
[20] The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
He knew the
Torah lived in Israel; the Sabbath was a way of life there
[21] Yeshua said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell
that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
[22] But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
[23] Then said Yeshua unto his disciples,
Verily I say unto you, That a
rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[24] And again I say unto you, It is
easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to
enter into the kingdom of God.
[25] When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, Who then can be saved?
[26] But Yeshua beheld them, and said
unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God
all things are possible.
[27] Then
answered Peter and said unto Yeshua,
Behold, “we have forsaken all, and followed thee”,
what shall we have therefore?
[28] And Yeshua said unto them, Verily I
say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son
of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also
shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
[29] And every one that hath forsaken houses,
or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother,
or wife, or children,
or lands, for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit
everlasting life.
Shabbat
