Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s,
January 9, 2016
January --
Janus's month
Middle
English Januarie
Latin Januarius
"of Janus"
Latin Janu(s) "Janus" +
-arius
"ary (pertaining to)"
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.
---------------------------------------------------
Yehovah has His own
calendar
We are now in the 10 month, 28th day of God
called Tevet טֵבֵת
Esth.2 [16] So Esther was taken unto
king Ahasuerus into his house
royal in the tenth month,
which is the month Tebeth,
in the seventh year of his reign.

I only
looked up the word fasting, not fast or pray. There are many, many more verses
to look up.
[2] And the seed of Israel
separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins,
and the iniquities of their fathers.
[3] And
they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yehovah
their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed,
and worshipped Yehovah their God.
Esth.4 [1] When Mordecai perceived all that
was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth
with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
[2] And came even before the
king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed
with sackcloth.
[3] And in every province,
whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great
mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and
wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Esth.9 [26] … they called these days Purim
after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of
this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which
had come unto them,
[27] The Jews ordained, and took
upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto
them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according
to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
[28] And that these days should
be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every
province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from
among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
[29] Then Esther the queen, the
daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote
with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
[30] And he sent the letters
unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus,
with words of peace and truth,
[31] To confirm these days of
Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen
had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their
cry.
[32] And the decree of
Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Pss.35 [11] False
witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
[12] They rewarded me evil for
good to the spoiling of my soul.
[13] But as for me, when they
were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my
soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
[14] I behaved myself as
though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth
for his mother.
Pss.69 [10] When I
wept, and chastened my soul with
fasting, that was to my reproach. [11] I made sackcloth also my garment;
and I became a proverb to them.
Pss.109 [24] My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
Jer.36 [1] And it came to pass in the fourth
year of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Yehovah,
saying,
[2] Take thee a roll of a book,
and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel,
and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake
unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
[3] It may be that the house of
Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may
return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their
sin.
[4] Then Jeremiah called Baruch
the son of Neriah:
and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yehovah,
which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
[5] And Jeremiah commanded
Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of Yehovah:
[6] Therefore go thou, and read
in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Yehovah
in the ears of the people in Yehovah's house upon
the fasting day: and also thou shalt
read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
[7] It
may be they will present their supplication before Yehovah,
and will return every one from his evil way: for great
is the anger and the fury that Yehovah hath
pronounced against this people.
Dan.6 [1] It pleased Darius to set over the
kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
[2] And over these three
presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto
them, and the king should have no damage.
[3] Then this Daniel was
preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in
him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
[4] Then the presidents and
princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they
could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was
there any error or fault found in him.
[5] Then said these men, We
shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him
concerning the law of his God.
[6] Then these presidents and
princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius,
live for
ever.
[7] All the presidents of the
kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellers,
and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to
make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for
thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
[8] Now, O king, establish the
decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of
the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
[9] Wherefore king Darius signed
the writing and the decree.
[10] Now when Daniel knew that
the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in
his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his
knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did
aforetime.
[11] Then
these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before
his God.
[12] Then they came near, and spake
before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree,
that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days,
save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered
and said, The
thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth
not.
[13] Then answered they and said
before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of
Judah, regardeth
not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh
his petition three times a day.
[14] Then the king, when he
heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on
Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the
going down of the sun to deliver him.
[15] Then these men assembled
unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes
and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth
may be changed.
[16] Then the king commanded,
and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake
and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually,
he will deliver thee.
[17] And a stone was brought and
laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and
with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning
Daniel.
[18] Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting:
neither were instruments of musick brought
before him: and his sleep went from him.
[19] Then the king arose very
early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
[20] And when
he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake
and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest
continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
[21]
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
[22] My God hath sent his angel,
and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as
before him innocency
was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
[23] Then was the king exceeding
glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So
Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him,
because he believed in his God.
[24] And the king commanded, and
they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the
den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the
mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the
bottom of the den.
[25] Then king Darius wrote unto
all people, nations, and languages, that
dwell in all the earth;
Peace be multiplied unto
you.
[26] I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear
before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast
for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion
shall be even unto the end.
[27] He delivereth
and rescueth,
and he worketh
signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the
power of the lions.
[28] So this Daniel
prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the
reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Dan.9 [1] In the first year of Darius the son
of Ahasuerus,
of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
[2] In the first year of his
reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of
Yehovah
came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy
years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
[3] And
I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplication, with
fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
[4] And I
prayed unto Yehovah my God, and made my confession, and said, Yehovah,
the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love
him, and to them that keep his commandments;
[5] We have sinned, and have
committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by
departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
[6] Neither have we hearkened unto
thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to
our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
[7] Yehovah,
righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us
confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through
all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that
they have trespassed against thee.
[8] Yehovah,
to us belongeth
confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we
have sinned against thee.
[9] To Yehovah
our God belong mercies and forgivenesses,
though we have rebelled against him;
[10] Neither have we obeyed the
voice of Yehovah
our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the
prophets.
[11] Yea, all Israel have
transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice;
therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law
of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
[12] And he hath confirmed his
words, which he spake against us, and against our
judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven
hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
[13] As it is written in the law
of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before Yehovah
our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
[14] Therefore hath Yehovah
watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for Yehovah
our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his
voice.
[15] And now, Yehovah
our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a
mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we
have done wickedly.
[16] Yehovah,
according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine
anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain:
because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy
people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
[17] Now therefore, O our God, hear
the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine
upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
[18] O my God, incline thine
ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and
behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not
present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses,
but for thy great mercies.
[19] Yehovah,
hear; Yehovah,
forgive; Yehovah,
hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my
God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
[20] And whiles I was speaking,
and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and
presenting my supplication before Yehovah my God for
the holy mountain of my God;
[21] Yea, whiles I was speaking
in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the
beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the
evening oblation.
[22] And he informed me, and
talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee
skill and understanding.
[23] At the beginning of thy supplications
the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew
thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore
understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Joel 2 [1] Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and
sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble: for the day of Yehovah cometh, for
it is nigh at hand;
[2] A day of darkness and of
gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon
the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like,
neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
[3] A fire devoureth
before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is
as the garden
of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing
shall escape them.
[4] The appearance of them is as
the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
[5] Like the noise of chariots
on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire
that devoureth
the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
[6] Before their face the people
shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
[7] They shall run like mighty
men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every
one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
[8] Neither shall one thrust
another; they shall walk every one in his
path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
[9] They shall run to and fro in
the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses;
they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
[10] The earth shall quake
before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and
the stars shall withdraw their shining:
[11] And Yehovah
shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is
strong that executeth his word: for the day of Yehovah
is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
[12] Therefore also now, saith
Yehovah,
turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and
with mourning:
[13] And rend your heart, and
not your garments, and turn unto Yehovah your God:
for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth
him of the evil.
[14] Who knoweth
if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat
offering and a drink offering unto Yehovah your God?
[15]
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn
assembly:
[16]
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the
children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his
chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
[17] Let the priests, the
ministers of Yehovah, weep between the porch and the
altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine
heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should
they say among the people, Where is their God?
[18] Then will Yehovah
be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
[19] Yea, Yehovah
will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine,
and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a
reproach among the heathen:
[20] But I will remove far off
from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate,
with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea,
and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come
up, because he hath done great things.
[21] Fear not, O land; be glad
and rejoice: for Yehovah will do great things.
[22] Be not afraid, ye beasts of
the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth
her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
[23] Be glad then, ye children
of Zion, and rejoice in Yehovah your God:
for he
hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for
you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
[24] And the floors shall be
full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
[25] And I will restore to you
the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller,
and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
[26] And ye shall eat in plenty,
and be satisfied, and praise the name of Yehovah your God,
that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall
never be ashamed.
[27] And ye shall know that I am
in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yehovah your God,
and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Matt.9 [14] Then
came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we
and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
[15] And
Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them?
[17]
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and
wash thy face;
[18]
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret:
and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward
thee openly.
Matt.15 [32] Then Yeshua
called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude,
because they continue with me now three days, and have
nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
[33] And his
disciples say unto him, Whence should we
have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
[34] And Yeshua
saith
unto them, How
many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few
little fishes.
[35] And he commanded the
multitude to sit down on the ground.
[36] And he took the seven
loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake
them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
[37] And they did all eat, and
were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets
full.
[38] And they that did eat were
four thousand men, beside women and children.
Matt.17 [14] And when they were come to the
multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
[15] Lord, have mercy on my son:
for he is lunatick,
and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth
into the fire, and oft into the water.
[16] And I brought him to thy
disciples, and they could not cure him.
[17] Then Yeshua
answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be
with you? how
long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to
me.
[18] And Yeshua
rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from
that very hour.
[19] Then came the disciples to Yeshua
apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
[20] And Yeshua
said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for
verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as
a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
[21]
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Luke 2 [36] And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age,
and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;[37] And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years (84), which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings
and prayers night and day.
[38]
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake
of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Acts 10 [30] And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was
fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my
house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, [31] And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is
heard, and thine
alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
Acts 14 [21] And when they had preached the
gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra,
and to Iconium,
and Antioch,
[22] Confirming the souls of the
disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.[23] And when they had ordained them
elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them
to the Lord, on whom they believed.
Acts 27 [33] And
while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This
day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
2 Cor.6 [1] We
then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the
grace of God in vain.
[2] (For he saith,
I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured
thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
[3] Giving no offence in any
thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
[4] But in all things approving
ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in
necessities, in distresses,
[5] In stripes, in
imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings,
in fastings;
[6] By pureness, by knowledge,
by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
[7] By the word of truth, by the
power of God, by the armour of
righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
[8] By honour
and dishonour,
by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
[9] As unknown, and yet well
known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
[10] As sorrowful, yet alway
rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing
all things.
2 Cor.11 [21] I speak as concerning reproach, as
though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is
bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
[22] Are they Hebrews? so
am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they
the seed of Abraham? so am I.
[23] Are they ministers of
Messiah? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours
more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths
oft.
[24] Of the Jews five times
received I forty stripes save one.
[25] Thrice was I beaten with
rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have
been in the deep;
[26] In journeyings
often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own
countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the
wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
[27] In weariness and
painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst,
in fastings
often, in cold and nakedness.
[28]
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care
of all the churches.
Isa.58 [1] Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy
voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their
transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
[2] Yet they seek me daily, and
delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not
the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take
delight in approaching to God.
[3] Wherefore have we fasted,
say they, and thou seest not? wherefore
have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?
Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
[4] Behold, ye fast for strife
and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye
do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
[5] Is it
such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to
afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a
bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt
thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yehovah?
[6] Is not this the fast that I
have chosen? to
loose
the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go
free, and that ye break every yoke?
[7] Is it not to deal thy bread to the
hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to
thy house? when
thou seest
the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine
own flesh?
[8] Then shall thy light break
forth as the morning, and thine health shall
spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of
Yehovah
shall be thy rereward.
[9] Then shalt
thou call, and Yehovah shall answer; thou shalt
cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou
take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and
speaking vanity;
[10] And if thou draw out thy soul
to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity,
and thy darkness be as the noonday:
[11] And Yehovah
shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy
bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and
like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
[12] And they that shall be of
thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt
raise
up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt
be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
