Today’s Topic:
The New Year of God
"Time for a New Beginning"
a New Year and new place for our congregation
Yes, we have moved on
The “real” Rosh Hashanah רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה New Year (head of the year)
“The first day of the first month” יוֹם אֶחָד, לַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן
Exod.12 [2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

The beginning of barley harvest
Ruth 1 [22] So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
בִּתְחִלַּת, קְצִיר שְׂעֹרִים
2 Sam. 21 [9] And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before Yehovah: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

When did January 1 become the first day of the New Year? :-(
March was the original beginning of the year in some previous calendars.
January 1 had become the first day of the New Year when Julius Caesar (100 B.C.E.-44 B.C.E.) reorganized the Roman calendar and made it solar rather than lunar in the year 45 B.C.E. and moved the beginning of the year to January 1.
We use the Gregorian calendar
When the Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1582, January 1 continued to be recognized as the first day of the year in most places.
However, in England and the American colonies, March 25, intended to represent the spring equinox, was the beginning of their year. Under this system, March 24, 1700, was followed by March 25, 1701.
In 1752, the British government changed the beginning date of the year to January 1.
Oh well…
Many interesting events
happened on the first day, first month, here are a few:
The 1st month of the God of Israel called Nisan, נִיסָן and ha aviv הָאָבִיב
Here are some "new beginnings"
Gen.8 [13] And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
Exod.40 [2] On the first day of the first month shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
[17] And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
[33] And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
[34] Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.
[35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.
[36] And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
[37] But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
[38] For the cloud of Yehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
Num.20 [1] Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Ezra.7 [1] Now after these things, in the reign
of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
[2] The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
[3] The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
[4] The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
[5] The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the
son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
[6] This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Yehovah Yehovah of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Yehovah his Yehovah upon him.
[9] For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the
first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand
of his God upon him.
[10] For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of Yehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
One calendar, no fiscal calendar in scripture
Fiscal: of or pertaining to the public treasury or revenues: example - fiscal policies that may change. Also, of or pertaining to financial matters in general.
God laws (policies) are the same all year round, they don’t change
This is how we recognize when the year starts
Gen. 1[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
וַיֹּאמֶר
אֱלֹהִים,
יְהִי
מְאֹרֹת
בִּרְקִיעַ
הַשָּׁמַיִם,
לְהַבְדִּיל,
בֵּין הַיּוֹם
וּבֵין
הַלָּיְלָה;
וְהָיוּ
לְאֹתֹת וּלְמוֹעֲדִים,
וּלְיָמִים
וְשָׁנִים
One New Year
Deut.11 [12] A land which Yehovah your God careth for: the eyes of Yehovah your God are always upon it,
from the “beginning of the year” even unto the “end of the year”.
Saul / Paul tells the Corinthians: Keep it simple!
2 Cor. 11[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.
Exod.23 [14] Three times you shall keep a feast unto me in the year.
[15] Thou shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month abib (ha aviv); for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: (offering time)
[16] And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field:
and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
[17] Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yehovah. (Offering time)
Deut.16 [16] Three times in a year shall all your males appear before Yehovah your God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before Yehovah empty.
[17] Every man shall give as he is able,
according to the blessing of Yehovah your
God which he hath given you.
A good time to "come out and be separate"
By strength of hand Yehovah brought us out from Egypt,
From the house of bondage (sin)
Exod. 13
[3] And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out
of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought
you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
Watch out for the mixed multitude among you
Exod. 12 [38] And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
Num. 11 [4] And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
[5]
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the
melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
[6] But our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this
manna, before our eyes. L murmuring…
Neh. 13 [3] Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
"Come out and be separate"
Exod. 33[16] For wherein shall it be known here that I and your people have found grace in your sight? Is it not in that you go with us? So shall we be separated, I and your people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
Lev. 20 [24] But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am Yehovah your God, which have separated you from other people.
Deut. 32 [8] When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel
1Kgs. 8 [51] For they be your people, and your inheritance, which you brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
[52] That your eyes may be open unto the supplication of your servant, and unto the supplication of your people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto you.
[53] For you didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Yehovah.
Ezra 10
[8] And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
[9] Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of Yehovah, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
[10] And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
[11] Now therefore make confession unto Yehovah, God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
[12] Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As you have said, so must we do.
[13] But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
[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 Yehovah for this matter be turned from us.
Neh. 9
[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.
Neh. 10
[28] And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of Yehovah, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
[29] They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in Yehovah's law, which was given by Moses the servant of Yehovah, and to observe and do all the commandments of Yehovah our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
[30] And that we would not give our daughters
unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
Neh. 13 [1] On that day they read in the book of
Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the
Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of Yehovah for
ever;
[2] Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our Yehovah turned the curse into a blessing.
[3] Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed
multitude.
Paul - Rom. 1 [1] Paul, a servant of Yeshua the
Messiah, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of Yehovah
In the end, Messiah will separate all
Matt. 25 [31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
[32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
[33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
[34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
[35] For I was an hungred, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
[36] Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, and fed you? Or thirsty, and gave you drink?
[38] When saw we you a stranger, and took you in? or naked, and clothed you?
[39] Or when saw we you sick, or in prison, and came unto you?
[40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
[42] For I was hungry, and you gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink:
[43] I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and you visited me not.
[44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we you hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto you?[45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.
[46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Rev. 18
[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.
Separate yourselves from this world, be "born from above, born of the water and spirit", born again.
John 3 [3] Yeshua said - Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a man /women be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Yehovah.
[5] Yeshua answered, verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Yehovah.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again!
"A new heart and a new spirit"
Ezek. 18 [31] Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, O house of Israel?
Ezek. 36 [26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the
stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
"A new creature, a new man"
Eph. 4 [22] That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
[23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
[24] And that you put on the new man, which after Yehovah is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Col. 3 [9] Lie not one to another, seeing that
you have put off the old man with his deeds; [10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the
image of him that created him:
2 Cor. 5 [17] Therefore if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
1 Pet. 1 [22] Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently:
[23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of Yehovah, which lives and abides forever.
[24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the
glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away:
[25] But the word of the Lord endures forever.
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Rev. 21 [5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
**Please: Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house
of bondage; for by strength of and Yehovah brought you out from this place.
