Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s.
Today’s date is Feb. 11, 2023
February -- month of Februa
Middle English Februarius
Latin Februarius "of Februa"
Latin Februa(s) "Februa" + -arius "ary (pertaining to)"
Latin Februarius mensis "month of Februa"
Latin dies februatus "day of purification"
Februarius had 28 days, until circa 450 BC when it
had 23 or 24 days on some of every second year, until Julius when it had 29
days on every fourth year and 28 days otherwise.
Februa is the Roman festival of purification, held on February fifteenth. It is possibly of Sabine origin.
The God of Israel has His own Calendar: we are
now in the 11th month of God Day 19, called Sebat / Sh’vat שְׁבָט
Zech.1 [1] [7] Upon the four and twentieth day of the
eleventh month, which is the month Sebat / Sh’vat שְׁבָט

Today’s Topic:
Hide
Silent
Measure up to
David’s cry
It seems like:
Pss.10 [1] Why stand you
afar off, O Yehovah? Why hide You,
Yourself in times of trouble?
Pss.44 [24] Wherefore hide You your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
Pss.88 [14] Yehovah, why cast you off my soul? Why hide You your face from me?
Pss.104 [29] You hide your face, they are troubled: you take
away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Pss.13 [1] How long will You forget me, O Yehovah?
Forever? How long will You hide your face from me?
Pss.27 [9] Hide not your face far from me; put not your
servant away in anger: You have been my help; leave me not,
neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Pss.30 [7] Yehovah, by your favor You have
made my mountain to stand strong: You did hide your face, and I was troubled.
Pss.44 [24] Wherefore hide You your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
Pss.55 [1] Give ear to my
prayer, O God; and hide not
yourself from my supplication.
Pss.69 [17] …hide not
your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
Pss.88 [14] Yehovah, why cast You off my soul?
Why hide You your face from me?
Pss.89 [46] How long, Yehovah? Will You hide yourself forever?
Pss.102 [2] Hide not your face from me in the day when I
am in trouble; incline your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me
speedily.
Pss.104 [29] You hide
your face, they are troubled: You take away their breath, they die, and
return to their dust.
Pss.143 [7] Hear me
speedily, O Yehovah: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like
unto them that go down into the pit.
Pss.28 [1] Unto you will I cry, O Yehovah my
rock; be not silent to me: lest, if you be silent to
me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

David had so many prayers, his cry was heard
Isa.1 [10] Hear the word of Yehovah, You
rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, You people of Gomorrah.
[11] To what purpose is the multitude
of your sacrifices unto Me? said
Yehovah:
I am
full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of
fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
[12] When You
come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my
courts?
[13] Bring no more vain
oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the
calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn
meeting.
[14] Your new moons and your
appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear
them.
[15] And when You
spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when You make
many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
[16] Wash you, make
you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do
evil;
[17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow.
[18] Come now, and let us reason together, said Yehovah:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
[19] If You be willing and obedient, You shall
eat the good of the land:
[20] But if You
refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Yehovah had spoken it.
[1] Behold, the Yehovah's hand is
not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy,
that it cannot hear:
[2] But your iniquities have separated
between you and your God, and your
sins have hid his face from you, that He will not hear.
Mic.3 [4] Then shall they cry unto Yehovah,
but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time,
as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
