We are sadly
still using the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s today in
the 21 century
January
- Janus's month
Latin Januarius mensis "month
of Janus"
Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways, depicted with two faces
looking in opposite directions. His festival month is January.
Januarius had 29
days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
Today is Jan.
17, 2026
Yehovah has His own calendar:
We are now in the 10th month
called Teveth, day 27
Esth. 2
[16] So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into
his house royal in the tenth month, which

Today’s topic:
Destruction from God
I can’t imagine destruction from the Almighty, the infinite God…
Can you?
Isa.
13
[6]
Howl you; for the day of Yehovah is at hand; it shall
come as a destruction
from the Almighty.
Joel
1
[15] Alas for the day!
for the day of Yehovah
is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
2 Thes. 1
[1]
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of
the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Yeshua
the Messiah:
[2]
Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua
the Messiah.
[3]
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that
your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward
each other abounds;
[4]
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and
faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:
[5]
Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of
God, for which you also suffer:
[6] Seeing it is a
righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
[7]
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Yeshua
shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
[8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know
not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah:
[9] Who shall be
punished with everlasting destruction from
the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
[10] When he shall come
to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe
(because
our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
WOW - The anger and wrath of God
I
can’t imagine making God angry at us, the power that created every thing.
Here are a few verses from Scripture pertaining to God’s wrath.
Here is what the people did from the past:
Exod. 32
[11] And
Moses besought Yehovah his God, and said, Yehovah why doth your wrath wax
hot against your people, which you hast brought forth out of the land of
Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Deut. 9
[7] Remember,
and forget not, how you provoke Yehovah your God
to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you didst depart out of
the land of Egypt, until you came unto this place, you have been rebellious
against Yehovah.
2 Kgs. 22
[17] Because
they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they
might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands;
therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and
shall not be quenched.
2 Chr. 24
[18] And they left the house of Yehovah
God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came
upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
2 Chr. 29
[10] Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant
with Yehovah God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
2 Chr. 30
[8] Now be not stiff necked, as your fathers were,
but yield yourselves unto Yehovah, and enter into his
sanctuary, which he had sanctified for ever:
and serve Yehovah your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away
from you.
2 Chr. 34
[25] Because
they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they
might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands;
therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be
quenched.
2 Chr. 36
[16] But
they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his
prophets, until the wrath of Yehovah
arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
Ezra. 5
[12] But after that our fathers had provoked
the God of heaven unto wrath,
he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the
Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Ezra. 7
[23] What so ever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God
of heaven:
for why
should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Ezra. 8
[22] For
I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us
against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying,
The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is
against all them that forsake him.
Ezra. 10
[14] Let
now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken
strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders
of every city, and the judges thereof,
until the fierce wrath of
our God for this matter be turned from us.
Neh. 13
[18] Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon
us, and upon this city?
Yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by
profaning the Sabbath.
Pss. 59
[13] Consume them in wrath,
consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob
unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
Pss. 78
[31] The wrath of
God came upon them, and slew the
fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
Jer.10
[10]… Yehovah he is the true God, he is the living God, and an
everlasting king: at
his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able
to abide his indignation.
Jer. 44
[8] In
that you provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning
incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither you be gone to dwell,
that you might cut yourselves off, and that you might be a curse and a reproach
among all the nations of the earth?
Ezek. 22
[31] Therefore
have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I
have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, said Yehovah.
Nah. 1
[2] God
is jealous, and Yehovah revenges. Yehovah
revenges, and is furious; Yehovah will take vengeance
on his adversaries, and he
reserves wrath for his enemies.
A Babylon connection
Isa. 13
[1] The burden of Babylon,
which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
[2]
Lift you up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand that they may go into the gates of the
nobles.
[3] I
have commanded my sanctified ones I have also called my mighty ones for mine
anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
[4]
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a
tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: Yehovahof hosts musters the host of the battle.
[5]
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even Yehovah,
and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
[6] Howl you; for the
day of Yehovah is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
[7]
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
[8]
And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall
be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their
faces shall be as flames.
[9] Behold, the day Yehovah comes, cruel both with
wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall
destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
[10] For the stars of
heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall
be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to
shine.
[11] And I will punish the world for their evil, and
the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to
cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
[12]
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden
wedge of Ophir.
[13] Therefore I will
shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of Yehovah of
hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Another Babylon
connection:
Rev. 14
[8]
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is
fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the
wine of the wrath of her fornication.
[9]
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
If any man worship the beast and his image,
and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
[10] The same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which
is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in
the presence of the Lamb:
[11] And the smoke
of their torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest
day nor night, who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receives the mark of his name.
Rev. 16
[19]
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations
fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto
her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
[20] And every island
fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[19] And the great city
was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great
Babylon came in remembrance before God, to
give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
[20] And every island
fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[21] And there fell upon
men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and
men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof
was exceeding great.
Rev. 17
[1] And there came one
of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto
me, Come hither; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore that sits
upon many waters:
[2] With whom the kings
of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have
been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
[3] So he carried me
away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was
arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness
of her fornication:
[5] And upon her
forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
[6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and
with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua: and
when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
[7] And the angel said
unto me, wherefore didst you marvel?
I will tell you the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which had the seven
heads and ten horns.
[8] The beast that you
saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into
perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold
the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
[9] And here is the mind
which had wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
[10] And there are seven
kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
[11] And the beast that
was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into
perdition.
[12] And the ten horns
which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive
power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one
mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
[14] These shall make
war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords,
and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and
faithful.
[15] And he said unto
me, The waters which you saw here the whore sites, are
peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
[16] And the ten horns
which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate
and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
[17] For God had put in
their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the
beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
[18] And the woman which
you saw is that great city, which reigneth over the
kings of the earth
Rev. 18
[1] And after these
things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the
earth was lightened with his glory.
[2] And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is
become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage
of every unclean and hateful bird.
[3] For all nations have
drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth
have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed
rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
[4] And I heard another
voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not
partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
[5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God had
remembered her iniquities.
[6] Reward her even as
she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup
which she had filled fill to her double.
[7] How much she had
glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her:
for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no
widow, and shall see no sorrow.
[8]
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
[9] And the kings of the
earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall
bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
[10] Standing afar off
for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas,
that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one
hour is your judgment come.
[11] And the merchants
of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise
any more:
[12] The merchandise of
gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and
purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood,
and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood,
and of brass, and iron, and marble,
[13] And cinnamon, and
odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and
wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls
of men.
[14] And the fruits that
your soul lusted after are departed from you, and all things which were dainty
and goodly are departed from you, and you shalt find
them no more at all.
[15] The merchants of
these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of
her torment, weeping and wailing,
[16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen,
and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
[17] For in one hour so
great riches is come to nought.
And every shipmaster,
and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood
afar off,
[18] And cried when they
saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is
like unto this great city!
[19] And they cast dust
on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great
city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her
costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
[20] Rejoice over her, you
heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God had avenged you on her.
[21] And a mighty angel
took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus
with violence shall that great
city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
[22] And the voice of
harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more
at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any
more in you; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you;
[23] And the light of a
candle shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and
of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the
great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived.
[24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
I read this last week:
As the days
of Noah were:
Matt. 24
[37] But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be
[38] For as in the days
that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving
in marriage, until the day that Noah entered
into the ark,
[39] And knew not until
the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Gen. 6
[5] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
[6] And it repented Yehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved
him at his heart.
[7] And Yehovah said, I will destroy
man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and
the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repented me that
I have made them.
[8] But Noah found grace
in the eyes of Yehovah
Seals, angels,
trumpets, thunders, (seven of each)
From the Wrath of the lamb
Rev. 6
[12] And I beheld when
he had opened the sixth seal,
and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
[13] And the stars of
heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when
she is shaken of a mighty wind.
[14] And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and
island were moved out of their places.
[15] And the kings
of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and
the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in
the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
[16] And said to
the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits
on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
[17] For the great day
of his wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?
Rev. 8
[1]
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there
was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
[2]
And I saw the seven angels which stood
before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
The
seventh angel
Rev. 16
[17] And
the seventh angel poured out his
vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying,
It is
done.
[18] And there were
voices, and thunder, and lightning; and there was a great earthquake, such as
was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
[19] And the great city
was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell:
and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
[20] And every island
fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[21] And there fell upon
men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and
men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof
was exceeding great.
Rev. 10
[1] And I saw
another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and
a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet
as pillars of fire:
[2] And he had in his
hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left
foot on the earth,
[3] And cried with a
loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
[4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices,
I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal
up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
[5] And the angel which
I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
[6] And swore by him
that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein
are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the
things which are therein,
that there
should be time no longer:
[7] But in the days
of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he
had declared to his servants the prophets.
Rev. 11
[15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were
great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Yehovah, and
of his Messiah; and he shall reign forever and ever.
[16] And the four and
twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and
worshipped God,
[17] Saying, We give you
thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which are, and
was, and are to come; because you have taken to you, your great
power, and have reigned.
[18] And the nations
were angry, and your, God’s wrath is come, and
the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should
give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that
fear your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the
earth.
[19] And the temple of
God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his
testament: and there were lightning, and voices, and thundering, and an
earthquake, and great hail.
Prov. 23
[18]
For surely there is an end;
and your expectation shall not be cut off.
1 Cor. 15
[52]
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and
we shall be changed.
In closing
for today:
Be on God’s side, safe and secure.
May God bless your lives
