Shabbat Shalom שַׁבָּת שָׁלוֹם
Today is the Shabbat, God’s
Time
----------------
Let’s pray
--------------------------------
Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s.
Today is February 22, 2014
February -- 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.
------------------
Yehovah has His own calendar
We are now in the 12th
month, which is the month called Adar, 21th day
Esth.3 [7] In the
first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from
month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the
month Adar.
Adar = “glorious”- אדר
Corresponding to
modern Feb. / March

Today’s Topic:
A little information pertaining to Saul / Paul
The Bible has 21 letters, epistles
-----------------------
Paul’s Ministry in includes: Syria, Israel, Asia Minor to Greece, Italy to Rome
and all the other cities as the letters are entitled below.
Acts 7 [58] And cast him out of the city, and stoned him:
and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was
Saul.
Acts 8
[1]
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great
persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all
scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the
apostles.
[2] And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great
lamentation over him.
[3] As for Saul, he made havock of the church,
entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Paul’s conversion
Acts 9 [1] And Saul, yet
breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the
disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
[4] And he fell to the earth, and heard a
voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me?
----------------
Greek name applied - Paul
Acts 13 [9] Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy
Ghost, set his eyes on him,
----------------------
Saul - Paul is not a Gentile nor is
he against the Jews, he is a Jew!
Rom.
9: [1]
I say the truth in Messiah, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in
the Holy Ghost,
[2] That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
[3] For I could wish that myself were accursed from
Messiah for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
[4] Who are
Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the
glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God,
and the promises;[5] Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh
Messiah came, who is over all, God blessed for ever.
Amen.
Rom.
10 [1]
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for
Israel is, that they might be saved.
Rom. 11 [1] I say then, Hath God cast away his
people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the
seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.[2] God hath not cast away his
people which he foreknew.
Phil.
3: [5]
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of
the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a
Pharisee;[6] Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the
righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Tarsus
- a city in
Asia Minor
Acts 21 [39]
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus,
a city in Cilicia,
Acts 22 [3]
I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus,
a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the
law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
Acts
26 [5] Which knew me from the
beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest
sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Acts
23 [6] But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees,
and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of
the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

Lost epistles of Paul or to Paul
1 Corth. 5 [9]
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1 Cor. 7 [1]
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to
touch a woman.
1 Cor. 16 [3] And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send
to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
2 Cor.3 [1]
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you,
or letters of commendation from you? 7 [8] For though I made you sorry with
a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that
the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
Eph.3 [3] How that by revelation he
made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore

lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice;
having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

the holy brethren
-----------------------------
Paul gives his advice
1Cor.7[6] But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
Paul never married - [8] I say
therefore to the unmarried and widows,
It is good for them if they abide even as I.
[12] But to the rest speak I, not the Lord:
[25] Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as
one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
[35] And this I speak for your own
profit;
[40] But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment:
and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
2 Cor. 8 [10] And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you,
who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
-----------------------------
Paul had a sister and her son warned
Paul
Acts 23 [16] And
when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying
in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
-------------------
Paul
preaches
Acts. 18 Paul [19] And
he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but
he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Acts. 19 [8 ] And he Paul, went into the
synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning
the kingdom of God .
Acts.9 [20 ] And straightway he ( Paul ) preached Messiah in the synagogues,
that he is the Son of God.
Acts.13 [ 1] Now there
were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as
Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius
of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
[2] As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,
Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the
work whereunto I have called them.
[3] And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them,
they sent them away.
[4] So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia;
and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
[13] Now
when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to
Jerusalem.[14 ] But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia,
and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
[15] And
after the reading of the law and the prophets the
rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men
and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
[42] And
when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the
Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
Acts.14 [1 ] And it came to pass in
Iconium, that they went
both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a
great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
Acts.15 [21 ] For Moses of old time
hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues
every sabbath day.
Acts.17 [1 ] Now when they had
passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia,
they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
[10] And
the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who
coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
[17]
Therefore disputed he in
the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market
daily with them that met with him.
Acts.18 Paul
[4] And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the
Greeks.
[19] And
he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he
himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
[24] And
a certain Jew named Apollos,
born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the
scriptures, came to Ephesus.
[25] This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent
in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing
only the baptism of John.
[26] And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue :
whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and
expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
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 Lord Yeshua.
[6] And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on
them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
[7] And all the men were about twelve.
[8] And he went into the synagogue, and
spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom
of God.
Acts.22 [19 ] And I said, Lord,
they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed
on thee :
Acts.24 [12 ] And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man,
neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:

Let’s read the last chapter of Acts to conclude Paul’s life
Acts 28
[1] And when
they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
[2] And the barbarous people shewed us no
little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of
the present rain, and because of the cold.
[3] And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the
fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened
on his hand.
[4] And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand,
they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he
hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to
live.
[5] And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
[6] Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead
suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him,
they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
[7] In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the
island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and
lodged us three days courteously.
[8] And it came to pass, that the father of Publius
lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed,
and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
[9] So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
island, came, and were healed:
[10] Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such
things as were necessary.
[11] And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which
had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
[12] And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
[13] And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came
the next day to Puteoli:
[14] Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven
days: and so we went toward Rome.
[15] And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet
us as far as Appiiforum, and The three taverns: whom
when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
[16] And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to
the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a
soldier that kept him.
[17] And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of
the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and
brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our
fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the
Romans.
[18] Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there
was no cause of death in me.
[19] But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal
unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation
of.
[20] For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to
speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
[21] And they said unto him, We neither
received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren
that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
[22] But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest:
for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
[23] And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into
his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading
them concerning Yeshua, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets,
from morning till evening.
[24] And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed
not.
[25] And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after
that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias
the prophet unto our fathers,
[26] Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
[27] For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are
dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and
should be converted, and I should heal them.
[28] Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent
unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
[29] And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great
reasoning among themselves.
[30] And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own
hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
[31] Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the
Lord Yeshua the Messiah, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
Amen
Shabbat Shalom
