Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope
Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is May 19, 2013
----------------------------------------------------
Yehovah has His own calendar
Today is the 8th day of the 3rd
month of God called Sivan
Esth.8 [9] Then were the king's
scribes called at that time in the third month,
that is, the month Sivan
--------------------------
We were told to count
So we counted the seven
Sabbaths and the morrow after the seventh Sabbath we numbered the "fiftieth day", which is today the Feast of Weeks,
Pentecost.
-------------
Lev.23 [15]
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath,
from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: [16]
Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty
days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering
unto YHVH.
[21] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it
may be an holy convocation
unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute forever
in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

The Comforter, the
Spirit of truth and Yeshua are One
he that
hath seen Me, Yeshua, hath seen the Father
"All 3 are one"
-----------------------------------
John 14
Yeshua said:
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[16]
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
[17]
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world
cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you.
[18]
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
[19]
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and
I in you.
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth
me:
and he
that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
[22]
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
[23] Yeshua answered and said
unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will
love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not
mine, but the Father's which sent me
[25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I
have said unto you.
[27]
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid.
[28] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go
away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice,
because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is
greater than I.
[29] And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it
is come to pass, ye might believe.
[30] Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this
world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
[31] But that the world may know that I love
the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.
Arise, let us go hence.
-----------------------------------
John 15
Yeshua said:
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.
[18] If the world hate
you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
[19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his
own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, therefore the world hateth you.
[20] Remember the word that I said unto you,
The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
[21] But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because
they know not him that sent me.
[22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but
now they have no cloke for their sin.
[23] He that hateth me hateth
my Father also.
[24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did,
they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my
Father.
[25] But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is
written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
[26] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of
me:
[27]
And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the
beginning.
-----------------------------------
John 16
[1]
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
[2] They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that
whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God
service.
[3] And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known
the Father, nor me.
[4] But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye
may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at
the beginning, because I was with you.
[5] But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
[6] But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled
your heart.
[7] Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is
expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I
will send him unto you.
[8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:
[9] Of sin, because they believe not on me;
[10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
[11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
[12]
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to come.
[14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
[15] All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore
said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
[16] A little while, and ye shall not see me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

Jews from many nations receive the Holy Spirit
Acts
2
[1] And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat
upon each of them.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[5] And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
[6]
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were
confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
[7] And they were all amazed and marvelled,
saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
[8] And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
[9] Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea,
and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
[10] Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in
the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
[11] Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them
speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
[12] And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another,
What meaneth this?
[13] Others mocking said, These men are full of
new wine.
[14] But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and
said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this
known unto you, and hearken to my words:
[15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third hour of the day.
[16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
[17]
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams:
[18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those
days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
[19] And I will shew wonders in heaven above,
and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour
of smoke:
[20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
[21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of
the Lord shall be saved.
The prophet Joel 2
[28] And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit
upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men
shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
[29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I
pour out my spirit.
[30] And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in
the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
[31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before
the great and the terrible day of Yehovah come.
[32] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Yehovah
shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as
the Yehovah hath said, and in the remnant whom the Yehovah shall call.
Back
to Acts chapter 2
[22]
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Yeshua
of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
[23] Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge
of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
[24] Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because
it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
[25] For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before
my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
[26] Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover
also my flesh shall rest in hope:
[27] Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
[28] Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me
full of joy with thy countenance.
[29] Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
[30] Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an
oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would
raise up Messiah to sit on his throne;
[31] He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Messiah, that his soul was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see corruption.
[32] This Yeshua hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
[33] Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having
received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear.
[34] For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself,
The Yehovah said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
[35] Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
[36] Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made that same Yeshua, whom ye have
crucified, both Lord and Messiah.
[37] Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and
said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall
we do?
[38]
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Yeshua the Messiah
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost.
[39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
[40] And with many other words did he testify and
exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward
generation.
[41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same
day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
[42] And they continued stedfastly in the
apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
[43] And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done
by the apostles.
[44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
[45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men,
as every man had need.
[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and
singleness of heart,
[47] Praising God, and having favour with all
the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
-----------------------------------
Many Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit
Acts 10
[1]
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band
called the Italian band,
[2] A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave
much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
[3] He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an
angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
[4] And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and
thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
[5] And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is
Peter:
[6] He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose
house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest
to do.
[7] And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he
called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited
on him continually;
[8] And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to
Joppa.
[9] On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the
city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
[10] And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they
made ready, he fell into a trance,
[11] And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as
it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
[12] Wherein were all manner of fourfooted
beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the
air.
[13] And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
[14] But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have
never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
[15] And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
[16] This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into
heaven.
[17] Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen
should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry
for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
[18] And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were
lodged there.
[19] While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
Behold, three men seek thee.
[20] Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting
nothing: for I have sent them.
[21] Then Peter went down to the men which were
sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is
the cause wherefore ye are come?
[22] And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the
Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for
thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
[23] Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter
went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
[24] And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius
waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
[25] And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his
feet, and worshipped him.
[26] But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
[27] And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were
come together.
[28] And he said unto them, Ye know how that it
is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one
of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I
should not call any man common or unclean.
[29] Therefore came I unto you without
gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have
sent for me?
[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.
[32] Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is
Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who,
when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
[33] Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that
thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all
things that are commanded thee of God.
[34] Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons:
[35] But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
[36] The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
peace by Yeshua the Messiah: (he is Lord
of all:)
[37] That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all
Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
[38] How God anointed Yeshua of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
[39] And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of
the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
[40] Him God raised up the third day, and shewed
him openly;
[41] Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God,
even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
[42] And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that
it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
[43] To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
[44] While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them
which heard the word.
[45] And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as
came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of
the Holy Ghost.
[46] For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered
Peter,
[47] Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have
received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
[48] And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the YHVH.
Then prayed they him to tarry certain days

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should
receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Yeshua was not yet glorified.)

Acts 8 [14]
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received
the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: [15] Who, when they
were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: [16]
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the
name of the Lord Yeshua.) [17] Then laid they their hands on them, and
they received the Holy Ghost.

Acts 19 [1]
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at
Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and
finding certain disciples,[2] He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost
since ye believed? And they said unto him, We
have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
[3] And he said unto
them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
[4] Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance,
saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after
him, that is, on Messiah Yeshua.
[5] When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Messiah
Yeshua.
[6] And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on
them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
